Taken during a very local walk during lockdown. Sadly we don't get to choose the perch.
Thank you to all who take the time to comment and/or fave my images, it is much appreciated.
White-fronted Bee-eaters perched in the late afternoon near their nesting holes in a sandbank on an island in the Kafue River (Kafue NP, Zambia).
The guides had put a branch on the sandbank before the breeding season to facilitate observation from a small boat.
The title does not only apply to the birds, also to us in the boat.....

This young Heron was catching small fish while moving along the edge of the lake, the Perch was also in very close. The Heron suddenly darted a short distance and successfully speared this large Perch. For the next 40 minutes the Heron tried unsuccessfully to swallow it.

a martial eagle (polemaetus bellicosus) leaving the perch.
in africa there are three species of "big" eagles and they occupy three different ecosystems.
the black eagle live in the mountains ad rocky areas.
the crowned eagle live in the forests.
the martial eagle prefer open woodlands ,savannas and arid areas.
this is a male,not so big and less spotted than the female.
females can arrive till 4.5/4.8 kgs with 240cm wingspan.
it is a very agile raptor able to catch big birds but enough strong to kill young/small antelopes,primates
and small predators till the jackal size.

This guy has hardly left this perch all summer. He sits here for hours on end, flies a few inches to the feeder and back to his perch. He chases away the other hummers that come to the feeder. I'm entertained for hours on end. It's the simply things in life.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

Staying local after Scotland. Not sure I enjoy driving as much as I used to but the dog isn't complaining for sure, getting to sprint around on the beach.
This was one of those will it, wont it sunsets. There was a bank of cloud that wasn't supposed to be there according to the apps, but it cleared just in time for sunset thankfully.
Great to be out with my good friend Oli and met up with another local tog who was out for the first time after 6 weeks recovering from a hip replacement operation. It was safe to say that at 78 yrs old with a new hip he went nowhere near the slippy rocks but still got some great shots from angles I've never seen before.
Had this all to myself tonight, not a great sky but with an extremely long exposure, and a bit of subtle after sun colour, i think its quite pleasing on the eye. the reason for the longer than normal exposure was i was waiting for an afterburn but it didn't happen.
