Their head movements are simply awesome. This is the mating season, and the image shows 2 males that are having a little love heart discussion.
The Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the emblematic bird of the French Camargue region. This is the only region of France where these birds nest and one of the only places in the world where the flamingo lay back every year since 1969. On "Pond Fangassier " more than 10,000 Flamingos come to reproduce. These gregarious birds live in group in the wet zones. This large web-footed bird, prefers the large expanses of shallow salt water or brackish marshes and ponds, what explains its strong presence in the Camargue. These areas allow them to find their food, essentially constituted by shellfishes and seaweeds. Their beak which contains a system of comb, allows them to filter the water to retain the nourishing elements (shrimp artémia). The color of flamingos comes from their food rich in beta carotene. The young flamingos, are lightly colored.

Again another shot from Saltswick Bay, but this time away from the shipwreck, but only just! For me this is the one of the stronger compositions at this location. I just love the way my eye moves around in a circular fashion from rock to rock to nab and then back again. The sunset at this point was a bit more subtle and it lends itself to a calmer atmosphere. Hope you like it!

From high up in a tree, tis Yellowhammer was keeping a close eye on my movements. Unfortunately I missed focus on its most comical expression when it turned its head right over on one side to get a better look.
Former Tinsley TMD 'Pet Shunter' named Sheffield Childrens Hospital 08879 now privately owned by HNRC is seen during shunt movements at Hope Cement Works, it’s hard to believe this locomotive has been carrying this livery for nearly 20 years. A flickr search suggests it was painted into EWS between late 2003 and early 2004.

The upper half of Minnesota's landscape is dotted with literally thousands of lakes. In the summer time bald eagles hang around them and feast on fish and they can be found most mornings perched high above in tall trees awaiting their next fishing trips.
Now that we have experienced our first snowfalls of significance and the lakes are frozen over until May, the habits of these glorious birds are changing. My wife and I have found a secluded wooded area surrounding an open hay field where around a dozen of them congregate to annoy as many crows as they can. This particular one was doing looping circles around the open field and ignored me as he kept his eyes on the black pests.

NIGHT GAMES WITH LIGHT
When light and darkness coexist in symbiosis.
During the time of the year when the night lasts longer than the day, those of us who want to continue enjoying our photo-addiction ally ourselves with the night and look for the lights that cohabit with it.
In my case, accustomed to photograph the reflections during the day in the fishing port, when the night came, the luminous reflections of the streetlights on the dark sea caught my attention, and I began to explore the new situation some years ago.
Some images have been obtained using the ICM technique, others by slow shutter speed and taking advantage of the movement of the water. Other times the combination of camera and water movements produces surprising effects. What is actually seen is the trail or trail of light floating on the water.
JUEGOS NOCTURNOS CON LA LUZ
Cuando la luz y la oscuridad conviven en simbiosis.
Durante la época del año en que la noche dura más que el día quienes queremos seguir disfrutando de nuestra foto-adicción nos aliamos con la noche y buscamos las luces que cohabitan con ella.
En mi caso, acostumbrado a fotografiar los reflejos de día en el puerto pesquero, al llegar la noche me llamaron la atención los reflejos luminosos de las farolas sobre el mar oscuro, y empencé a explorar la nueva situación hace algunos años.
Algunas imágenes han sido conseguidas mediante la técnica ICM, otras mediante velocidad baja de obturador y aprovechando el movimiento del agua. Otras veces la combinación de movimientos (el de la cámara y el del agua) produce efectos también sorprendentes. Lo que en realidad se ve es el rastro o estela de luz flotando sobre el agua.
Typisch für die Limmerstraße in Linden sind neben den Kiosken die vielen Radfahrer*innen und die Silberpfeile der Linie 10.
Typical movements on the Limmerstreet in Linden-Limmer, part of Hannover but a independent city for a long time, are rides by bicycle or üstra-Lightrail-Line 10.
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day".
What better way to celebrate this holiday photographically then to share a photo of US Steels' Union Railroad, which of course is part of the United Steelworkers, one of the strongest labor unions in the world.
The United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, commonly known as the United Steelworkers (USW), is a general trade union with members across North America. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, the United Steelworkers represents workers in Canada, the Caribbean, and the United States. The United Steelworkers represent workers in a diverse range of industries, including primary and fabricated metals, paper, chemicals, glass, rubber, heavy-duty conveyor belting, tires, transportation, utilities, container industries, pharmaceuticals, call centers and health care.
USS has parceled the railroad off to Transtar in recent times. The system today may have moved on to other representation such as the United Transportation Union, (UTU), or the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, (BLE).

Impala are ubiquitous in most parts of Africa...so they're easy to sometimes overlook as a photo subject. But one should look closer at the distinctive markings and the rich colors of their coat along with their graceful movements...they really are quite an attractive animal.

==========================
From Wikipedia: The impala or rooibok (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods (whenever available).
Calves are suckled for four to six months; young males—forced out of the all-female groups—join bachelor herds, while females may stay back.
The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places near water.
Ecology and behaviour:
The impala is diurnal (active mainly during the day), though activity tends to cease during the hot midday hours; they feed and rest at night. Three distinct social groups can be observed – the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The territorial males hold territories where they may form harems of females; territories are demarcated with urine and faeces and defended against juvenile or male intruders. Bachelor herds tend to be small, with less than 30 members.
The impala is an important prey species for Africa's large carnivores, such as cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, lions, hyenas, crocodiles and pythons. The antelope displays two characteristic leaps – it can jump up to 3 m (9.8 ft), over vegetation and even other impala, covering distances of up to 10 m (33 ft); the other type of leap involves a series of jumps in which the animal lands on its forelegs, moves its hindlegs mid-air in a kicking fashion, lands on all fours (stotting) and then rebounds. It leaps in either manner in different directions, probably to confuse predators.

Rimini is a city of 146,606 inhabitants in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and capital city of the Province of Rimini. It is located on the Adriatic Sea, on the coast between the rivers Marecchia (the ancient Ariminus) and Ausa (ancient Aprusa). It is one of the most famous seaside resorts in Europe, thanks to its 15-kilometre-long (9 mi) sandy beach, over 1,000 hotels, and thousands of bars, restaurants and discos. The first bathing establishment opened in 1843. An art city with ancient Roman and Renaissance monuments, Rimini is the hometown of the famous film director Federico Fellini as well.
Founded by the Romans in 268 BC, throughout their period of rule Rimini was a key communications link between the north and south of the peninsula, and on its soil Roman emperors erected monuments like the Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge, while during the Renaissance, the city benefited from the court of the House of Malatesta, which hosted artists like Leonardo and produced works such as the Malatesta Temple. In the 19th century, Rimini was one of the most active cities in the revolutionary front, hosting many of the movements aimed at the unification of Italy. In the course of World War II, the city was the scene of clashes and bombings, but also of a fierce partisan resistance that earned it the honor of a gold medal for civic valor. Finally, in recent years it has become one of the most important sites for trade fairs and conferences in Italy.
The total approximate population of the Rimini urban area is 225,000 and the provincial population is 330,000.
A shot at one of the many beaches on Oahu, Hawaii. I loved capturing the waves coming in across the rocks creating a silky mood. The exposure wasn't too long but just long enough to capture some movement.

Here it is another night shot, long exposure, portraying the righteously world famous Swiss side of the Matterhorn mirroring in the calm waters of lake Stellisee (2.537 m).
I have already posted a few shots taken during the very same night.
Although these may look similar, each shot is a new scenario in itself, thanks to the movement of the clouds, which are stretched due to their movements during the exposure.
In this case I liked how they formed a sort of eye, within which lies the Matterhorn.
Actually, you can never exactly predict how the clouds will look like at the end of a long exposure, and this is certainly one of the most fascinating aspects of this photographic technique.

What happens to Robins in the winter?
In the winter, they become nomadic, searching widely for their favorite cold-weather fare. Weather also influences robin movements. A heavy snowfall that persists for more than a few days may send them on their way, searching for better conditions. Robins also form flocks in the winter.
Can Robins survive snow?
Even in freezing temperatures, robins can stay warm enough to make staying through the winter worthwhile. ... If you want to observe robins in winter, try putting out water for them. They can survive on their own by eating snow, but birds always welcome a source of unfrozen water for drinking and bathing.
What do Robins eat when there is snow on the ground?
There isn't much one can feed robins in the winter. They're very adept at finding their preferred food and rarely visit feeding stations. During severe weather, robins may eat raisins, berries, or pieces of apples placed on the ground.
Do robins sing all day?
We know that robins are one of the first species to begin singing every morning. ... They sing the most early in the morning and at evening twilight after sunset. They sing the least around noon. We thought we could figure out approximately how many songs they sing each hour through the day, and add these up.
What is the sound of a robin singing?
It's a string of 10 or so clear whistles assembled from a few often-repeated syllables, and often described as cheerily, cheer up, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up. The syllables rise and fall in pitch but are delivered at a steady rhythm, with a pause before the bird begins singing again. At dawn, the song is more rapid.
Why do robins sing in winter?
The sound of a robin chirping in winter is a good sign, say scientists. It means the bird has built up enough fat reserves to survive the cold nights and has enough energy left to defend its territory. The bird traditionally sings in spring to attract a mate but in winter, when food is short, it faces a dilemma.

The helpers now lead this loaded coal train down to the dumper on the Ohio River at Maysville, KY on former C&O rails. October 2015.
9.00am, on an overcast Sunday 20th September 2020, sees the days' first locomotive movements from Loughborough Central following the resumption of the Great Central Railway's (GCR) restricted weekend passenger services from Quorn and Woodhouse to Leicester North - following the successful replacement of bridge No. 340 North of Quorn.
By way of added interest, the goods yard at Quorn and Woodhouse has been turned into a large static exhibition and display area, where several examples of goods wagons, motor vehicles as well as a steam and diesel locomotive are always on public display.
Previously, the diesel has been piloted by a steam engine. Last weekend, however, saw a role reversal - with a diesel propelling an 'Out of Steam' locomotive.
Pictured, approaching Beeches Road Bridge, Loughborough, is BR Standard Riddles Designed Class 5MT 4-6-0 No 73156 with BR Class 37 Diesel-Electric No. 37714 Cardiff Canton providing the power.
Thereafter, the Class 37 then took charge of the 13.50pm passenger departure from Quorn and Woodhouse. Later that afternoon it returned light engine from Loughborough after delivering its empty coaches for sanitisation before the day's final departure headed by LMSR Stanier 8F 2-8-0 No 48305.
Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger)photographed on The Gulf Harbors Private Beach located in New Port Richey Pasco County Florida U.S.A.
The Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) is a tern-like seabird, one of three very similar birds species in the skimmer family. It breeds in North and South America. Northern populations winter in the warmer waters of the Caribbean and the tropical and subtropical Pacific coasts, but the South American races make only shorter movements in response to annual floods which extend their feeding areas in the river shallows.
