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.

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.

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.

Celle ci a une saveur tout à fait particulière puisque c'est enfin mon tout premier Martin 2020 , après m'être cassé les dents à plusieurs reprises sur mes spots habituels ces derniers temps , j'ai donc décidé de changer de tactique en exploitant d'autres endroits , armé d'une paire de jumelles j'ai cherché les indices m'indiquant ses lieux de pêche , et je suis tombé finalement sur une grosse branche de saule qui surplombe la rivière et c'est depuis cette branche que j'ai pu observer mon gaillard en action de pêche , ni une ni deux j'ai mis en place mon fameux mode opératoire habituel en fichant sur la berge un perchoir non loin de la branche et finalement ce matin là il est venu à deux reprises prendre possession de son tout nouveau plongeoir .

This one has a very special flavor since it's finally my very first Martin 2020, after having broken my teeth several times on my usual spots lately, so I decided to change tactics by exploiting 'other places, armed with a pair of binoculars I looked for clues indicating its fishing grounds, and I finally came across a large willow branch overlooking the river and it is from this branch that I I was able to observe my fellow fishing, neither one nor two I set up my famous usual operating mode by tying a perch on the bank not far from the branch and finally that morning he came twice to take possession of its brand new diving board.

I spotted this little character, an Eastern Wood Pewee, I believe, at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary.

It has been a awhile since we’ve spotted a Kestrel. We were visiting Yolo Bypass near Davis Ca and there were lots of birds to see, including this little beauty.
This Female kestrel was easy to identify by the rufous coloring on her head, wings, and back, with black barring.
The female’s wings lack the male’s blue-gray color.
Not had a lighthouse image for a few weeks. Happisburgh is my favourite but Perch Rock runs it close. HSS!
For once the apps were right. No low cloud when looking to the West.
Tide was miles out. Drone central here atm. I received a warning it's currently a temporary no flight restriction zone so illegal to fly so didn't bother, guessing something to do with Eurovision.
Drone central here though last night. Guess they all have permission from the CAA and their licenses and insurances or they just don't give a sh*t about the law. I'd hazard a guess it's probably the latter.
