With stealth movement of those long legs and a very sharp beak it can be easy to strike and catch your prized lunch.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and spectacular day dear flickr friends !
Prized as a medieval banquet dish. Decimated by hunting - plus the loss of its reed bed habitat - The Bittern became extinct in the UK in 1886
Our ancestors were such a caring bunch!
But it's back., and hearteningly (with the help of contemporary humans) numbers are rising!
Hopefully another 'wrong' put 'right'

Glittering Prize ( Music and lyrics by Simple Minds)
Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life so that much more I see
In the Light of his Love
In the Light of reflection
Oh what a world
Or sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes in the skies
In that silver gift friendship
A Glittering Prize
Is it the prize of lost loves
They can remember quiet sides of midnight
They can remember the attraction of fame
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
Always came a time - time was on our side
We were spending time - we were staring out
Catch me in a dream - Captured all in heart
We were spending time - we were staring out
Could there ever be - ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?
Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life
So much more I see
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking heart then our last breath away
Only on a clear day coming into our lives
See it in the eye - satellite skies
We were spending time - we were staring out
Take in, Take in more - The Endless breath away
We were spending time - we were staring out
Could there ever be - ever more than one
It's called an act of Love
Can you you never stop?
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
Is it the Price of Love
Like a Glittering Prize
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
With your love
Only on a clear day
Así tituló el premio Nobel Juan Ramón Jiménez un poema dedicado a las amapolas. Uno de sus fragmentos dice:
Amapola del camino//roja como un corazón//yo te haré cantar al son//de la rueda del molino//yo te haré cantar, y al son//de la rueda dolorida,//te abriré mi corazón, ¡amapola de mi vida!
This is how Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez titled a poem dedicated to poppies. One of the fragments of it says:
Poppy of the road//red like a heart//I will make you sing to the sound//of the mill wheel//I will make you sing, and to the sound//of the aching wheel,//I will open my heart to you, poppy of my life!
I've had this idea in my mind for quite some time now but never really had the time to put it all together. So when I saw these skeletons, I was reminded of that vision I had in mind!

Forster's Tern clutching its catch as it rises up from Mud Lake at sunrise. I was hoping to see the swarm of tree swallows that has descended in this area each of the previous two Novembers but an actively feeding flock of terns filled the void nicely.
For Crazy Tuesday "Libraries and Books" theme.
These are old school prizes that I doubt were ever read. The top one was given in 1885 as an arithmetic prize to a cousin of my grandfather, and the David Livingstone book was his history and geography prize in 1914.

Slightly over a year ago a few of us drove to Conowingo Dam in Maryland and stayed there for few days to capture Bald Eagle fishing spectacle. Every year between November and January plenty of migrating Bald Eagles congregate near the dam as it provides great opportunity to fish during the colder months. Though it wasn't not a great year for Eagle action due to heavy rain prior to our arrival, we still managed to get some excellent photos of Eagles fishing and fighting. Here's the photo of an Eagle that flew down from a tree by the side of the dam and caught a fish from the river. It happened so fast that I missed the initial shot of it actually picking up the fish.
Thank you all for you support and visit! Hope you all have a lovely mid week! Happy Wing Wednesday too!
Taken in Cody, Wyoming, this little bird has a prize catch!

The new library in Magdalene College, Cambridge, has been named the UK's best new building, winning the prestigious Riba Stirling Prize for architecture.

A White-browed Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus schisticeps) was scanning for the insects under the barks in an early morning. Here it eventually got a desired catch in its yellow curved beak holding like a display of its prize in an upside down posture. The backdrop light green Bokeh and the brown barks of the branch made it a something very special in composition. We both had our prize in that morning. Pics was taken from a forest in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India.
carol you can either keep your original prize or you have the option of choosing another prize since you won..
Organic produce at Hanbury Hall - there is a prize if you can guess the weight of these enormous pumpkins!
This Red-bellied woodpecker got its prize from the gravel trail and moved to this tree to hide it. I can't tell what the prize is but I'm sure it was worth the trouble. This was the day preceding a temperature drop and the avian activity was at a high level. The skies were overcast making soft diffused light.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone
Not much to brag about but it was the biggest catch of the morning. Great Blue Heron on Horsepen Bayou.
A Mature Bald Eagle keeping both eyes on the prize. This fisherman had one spotted on the ice and was moving in for an easy meal. It was amazing how far out this guy spotted the fish on the ice and went into attack mode. This has been my best year ever for photographing migrating eagles.

Headed off down to Lavender Bay Jetty on Sydneys North Shore this fine Sunday morning, with a good mate.
Got there at 6am to scout the place out, as I hadn't been there before. Glad I did, as it was a pretty busy spot at stupid o clock tbh.
Fishermen, Environment protection Boats and officers (Thats the guy at the ned of the jetty, about to direct a boat out of shot to its destination) harbour kayakers (to the right of the shot) and a TV crew filming a news segment on the Environment Protection guys, to name but a few. Then there were the walkers / joggers, dog walkers...it just went on and on. Oh, and a few photgraphers...
Anyhow, weatherzone got it right again with 30% cloud predicted (I want a job with these guys...!!)
Great cloud cover, with the obvious horizon break over to our left, to allow the sun to light up those clouds over our heads just before Sunrise at around 6:50am
A great morning out with a great mate.
Hope you like "Glittering Prize"
Cheers, Mike

The marketing for a certain soft drinks company reaches far and wide, even to the poorest oases in the Sahara Desert.
For this youngster at Aioun Lebgar, it is a prized possession, long drained of its original liquid, but will be filled with well water, and drunk with a proud flourish as if it contained “the real thing”.

Excerpt from www.flamboroughtoday.com/spotlight/waterdown-village-welc...:
A highlight of fall in Waterdown Village is the annual Scarecrow Walk, starting in this eighth year on October 11 and running right until Hallowe’en.
“Once again, our local businesses and community partners will display uniquely decorated scarecrows, animating our streetscape and giving people of all ages more than 130 reasons to Walk Waterdown,” exclaimed Waterdown Village BIA Board of Management Chair, Amanda Groves.
She added, “The Scarecrow Walk has fast become a signature event for the community. Clues featuring mugshots of favourite monsters will be placed on 20 randomly selected scarecrows for scavengers to find for a chance to win shopping spree prizes. You can discover new businesses, take selfies with your favourite scarecrow entries, and test your detective skills to find all 130+ scarecrows and all 20 clues, for a wonderful day out for the whole family.”
These are my prizes from Major B's contest. Thank you to Major and Minifigs'R Us for the great prizes! The MRU torsos are great quality with lots of detail, I highly recommend them! Also the Fiat Revelli Modello 1914 mod that Major Bonacelli has put together is really nice.
Thanks again for picking me as a winner :-)

The 9 book report options are listed on the wheel and if a teen spins, they must report that week as the wheel tells them to. If they are lucky, they might win a prize instead. No matter what, as an incentive, they receive an extra raffle ticket for the drawing at the end of the summer for Disneyland tickets or skateboard & helmet.

1928 and my mother was given this copy of 'Tannhauser' as a School Form Prize. Published in 1911 in London by George G Harrap & Co. Ltd. the volume is covered in green suede leather with gold embossing and gilded top page edges.
The book is showing its age, so am I and I'm not over 100 years old. The leather is rubbed especially on the spine but the pages are fresh and clean.
A lovely prize to have had for a 17-year-old., especially for her as there is a bookplate and the school coat of arms embossed in gilt on the back of the book cover.
So just taken out of my book cupboard, stood on my desk-top, lit with a couple of lamps, and photographed with the first camera to hand - a 2001 early digital camera.

Further to yesterdays posting, both birds were the losers. Hawk dropped the mouse, eagle missed it, dead vole now laying in a snowbank.

This scrub jay was happily moving along with this acorn. Not sure where it was headed, though. Still looked pretty proud!
