same Tigress as the previous 2 Tiger postings after we found her again downstream in the dry riverbed.
Afterwards she started walking on the dirt road patrolling and scent marking her territory as shown here

I never did much with CP when we were still going to Millinocket, mainly because I was usually the conductor for that job. That being said, I did get them a few times, as seen here with Andy and Matt heading north at North Twin.
CP GP38-2 3051 is leading CMQ 9020 with about forty cars, marking the last time a CMQ engine went north to Millinocket. It's just starting to snow here, the beginning of a predicted fourteen inches of snow, and within an hour, there were already several inches of snow on the ground.
One more from the fence line marking the boundary of the woodland at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire. Taken at the start of the month there has been not a smidge of mist! Still, it was a good session that morning.
Dancing Trees.....
The snow fell like millions of tiny feathers from the white colorless sky above, carried upon some invisible breeze; drifting this way and that as they fell towards earth...
Karen and I ventured out and spent a few hours walking in the fresh fallen snow, stopping occasionally to look and listen... marveling at the sound of the flakes hitting our jackets.
In a field stood three lone fir trees, they were being blown and tussled by the wind and the blizzard of snow that was falling making the background disappear.
Thank you for visiting and for marking my photo as a favourite and also for the kind comments,

The Southern Pochard (Netta erythrophthalma) is a species of diving duck known for its distinctive dark plumage and wide, fragmented distribution across two continents.
Appearance & Identification
They are medium-sized ducks (approx. 48–51 cm) with a robust build.
Males:
Characterised by a purplish-black head, deep chestnut-brown body, and bright red eyes. They have a pale blue-grey bill with a black tip.
Females: Duller and browner than males, featuring distinctive white facial markings, including a crescent-shaped patch behind the eye and a patch at the base of the bill.
In Flight:
Both sexes display a conspicuous broad white wing band that contrasts sharply with their dark bodies.
Distribution & Habitat
There are two recognised subspecies separated by geography:
N. e. brunnea (Africa):
Found from Ethiopia and Eritrea south to South Africa. It is much more common than its South American counterpart.
N. e. erythrophthalma (South America):
Found in fragmented populations from Colombia and Venezuela to Brazil and Argentina.
Habitat:
They prefer deep, clear freshwater wetlands, lakes, and marshes with abundant submerged vegetation. They have also adapted to man-made environments like farm dams, reservoirs, and sewage works.
Diet & Behaviour
Feeding:
Primarily vegetarian, they dive to consume the seeds, roots, and leaves of aquatic plants (e.g., water lilies and bulrushes). They also occasionally eat aquatic insects and small invertebrates.
Social Life:
Highly sociable and gregarious, often gathering in flocks that can number in the thousands, especially outside the breeding season.
Movement:
While many are sedentary, some populations are nomadic or migratory, covering distances of up to 3,000 km to find suitable water during dry seasons.
Steam Locomotive - Leander @ Bangor Station.

A large bull elk marks his territory on the grounds of the Jasper Park Lodge. Only the males have antlers, which start growing in the spring and are shed each winter. The largest antlers may be 1.2 meters (3.9 ft) long and weigh 18 kilograms (40 lbs).
My appreciation and thanks to all of you for your comments awards and faves.

Simha is beautiful all over, but the white markings on his paws, chest and belly make him even more beautiful. However, the most outstanding part of his body is his amazing amber eyes.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

Lions are my favorites of the big cats. They like to hunt, fight, play, love, bond and, unfortunately, sleep. Males are protective of their territory and leave a message at the proverbial post office, whenever they pass by. It was fun watching even young males stop by the post office and check the mail, even if they didn’t leave their own personal scent message. This big guy checked the post office for messages and left one of his own. (Panther leo) (Sony a1, 70-200mm lens @ 121mm, f/5, 1/500 second, ISO 640)
A dip into the archives finds GBRf Shed 66763 passing Gauxholme in the Calder Valley with the 12.00pm Drax Power Station - Liverpool Seaforth Terminal (4M51) empty biomass hoppers.
I quite liked the link between the smokeless chimney and the emissions-friendly wooden pellets (biomass) supplied to the power stations by these trains.
Burning this fuel is certainly better than burning coal for carbon emissions, but whether the biomass is quite so environmentally friendly after extraction, processing, and then shipping across from North America, is not quite so clear to me.
Judging by the markings around the chimney pot, I'm guessing the residents don’t take much persuasion to get a fire going on a cold day - coal probably!

Marking time - The abandoned fishing trawlers at Salen on the Isle of Mull under a moody, dark and brooding sky.
There is a melancholy beauty to these wrecks as they mark the passage of time, slowly rotting, crumbling to an ever perilous state of decay; hinting at an existence and former island life that once was.
A Hebridean tradition, boats are often left to decay on the shoreline where they come to rest at the end of their working lives.

I was quite pleased to get these shots yesterday as it was blowing a hooley.
There’s a good reason why some bugs disguise themselves as another insect – it tricks predators like birds into thinking they are dangerous. One example of a bug in disguise is the hoverfly, which is easily confused with a wasp.
There are over 270 types of hoverfly in Britain and about 120 of them have the distinguished black and yellow markings of a wasp. Some hoverfly’s look like honey bees (shiny brown, orange and black), bumblebees (furry) or hornets (huge wasp-like insects which although big and scary aren’t as ill-tempered as wasps).
