The last time I was here was in 2015. Not a lot has changed, in or outside of the home. I was planning on taking some film shots of this place, but my camera batteries flaked out. Luckily, I had my little back up with me. This will be the last time I photograph this particular place. It's been fun!

This Swan in Battersea Park London, is in a protected area.
Behind him, you can see some red and white reflections in the water. This is from a tape that is extended right across the lake, to stop boats from entering this area during the nesting season.
It really helps in making sure that the many varieties of waterbirds, are undisturbed at this time of the year.

Protection, present and past, in the form of moorings for the fishing boats protected by the harbour wall from bad weather and the remains of a castle on the hilltop that once provided security against unwelcome human attention. The new and old lifeboat stations show a history of protection for the fishermen that is able to extend out to sea when needed.
This town of Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-pysgod, meaning fortlet of the fish) is situated in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the western side of Carmarthen Bay, in West Wales.

In youth from rock to rock I went,
From hill to hill in discontent
Of pleasure high and turbulent,
Most pleased when most uneasy;
But now my own delights I make,
My thirst at every rill can slake,
And gladly Nature's love partake
Of Thee, sweet Daisy!

I don't think I would be able to manage too many sunrise shoots during the summer months, I thought I was having a bad dream when the alarm went off at 3:00am this morning...😳
Once I got on location at Beachy Head there wasn't a cloud in the sky, however the very calm high tide did provide the most amazing sense of calm...😊
Thanks for viewing and take care :-)

This Cormorant gave me a nice approach with the branches considerately not blocking the bird’s eyes. This was taken at Green Cay, where the Cormorants and Anhinga were working hard to bring home nesting material. Action has slacked off and there doesn’t seem to be as many birds as in years passed. I hate to say it, but it doesn’t bode well for the future. I’ll throw my pitch in to support politicians who support environmental protection, conservation and public places. Pitch over, have another beer! It’s not the best juxtaposition but let me with us all and wonderful New Year and I hope to see many of you out in the field or at least online. All the best, Mike (Double-crested Cormorant - Nannopterum auritus) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 5000)

Many people live in their own little world and ignore the big problems like climate protection, war and social injustice!
I knew this concertina packaging would come in handy so glad I held on to it, but unfortunately the red wine bottle it was protecting is no longer around (for some reason) so I had to substitute it with a bottle of red grape juice instead. For Crazy Tuesday.
The Meteora Monasteries are built on rock formations in the regional unit of Trikala, in Thessaly, Greece, hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, second in importance only to Mount Athos
Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the twenty-four monasteries were established atop the rocks. Meteora is located near the town of Kalabaka...
oh! and a scene for a James Bond movie was shot there some time ago 😄 1981 "For your eyes only"

One of my favorite diving ducks is the ring-necked duck, though my feeble brain always wants to call them ring-billed ducks, as the ring on the bill is much more pronounced than the one on the neck. This view shows the neck ring well as the transition from purple iridescence on the head to black on the neck.
This drake was part of a group feeding at the edge of a melting ice platform, which I've observed many times before, and seems to be a favored spot to hunt for food. I'm not sure why this is so- perhaps the pond invertebrates use the ice for protection and are more abundant under ice cover.
