QUICK MARCH !!!
TALL robust plovers with long yellow legs, usually in pairs or small parties of up to ten birds. Favors a variety of fresh and saline aquatic habitats. Difficult to get close to, and very entertaining in their behavior. Seen at Kotu, Banjul, Gambia.

Great Tit [Parus Major]
A lovely afternoon brought literally hundreds of wee birdies to my feeders at The Pixies.
This Great Tit waited on a branch for a few seconds, before darting down to get a peanut. Sometimes, they will sit and eat sunflower hearts but normally they just swoop in, take a nut, and fly off, then come back and repeat the procedure. Apparently, they stash their food for later.

the secret of the fox
ancient mystery
somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hiding
what is your sound?
will we ever know?
will always be a mystery
what do you say?
*I took this awhile ago at Dispersion, but think it may be closed now?
I saw a hooded merganser couple in the creek from a distance. They swam away from me, so I continued with other subjects. I noted that the drake was approaching, and took up a position where I could catch a glimpse of him through the foliage. This was the result - one of the closest encounters I've had with a hooded merganser!

The Starlings have returned to my garden for the summer. These birds are messy eaters; scattering food all around and then grabbing quick a drink before dashing off to the next venue. As unruly as they are, I still find them amusing and enjoy their visit.
Starlings will eat nearly anything, but they focus on insects and other invertebrates when they’re available. Common prey include grasshoppers, beetles, flies, caterpillars, snails, earthworms, millipedes, and spiders. They also eat fruits including wild and cultivated cherries, holly berries, hackberries, mulberries, tupelo, Virginia creeper, sumac, and blackberries; as well as grains, seeds, nectar, livestock feed, and garbage.
Male starlings begin building the nest before mating takes place, filling the cavity with grass and pine needles, along with feathers, trash, cloth, and string. There’s a depression near the back of the cavity where the cup is built and lined with feathers, fine bark, leaves, and grass. Females oversee the final arrangements and may discard some of the material the male added. Starlings also add fresh green plants to the nest throughout the nesting period, particularly during laying and incubation. Nests can be built in as little as 1-3 days. Both sexes incubate the eggs.

To test out the bounce flash settings I was using my brother-in-law was kind enough to pause for the quick portrait.

Out for a nature walk when this Ruby Throated Hummingbird zipped past me to feed in some Juniper bushes.
Whilst walking the dogs early one morning I turned a corner and saw this hooded figure watching the sunrise. I only had my 30mm lens and time for a quick shot. Today being Sunday I sat down and played - HSS!
So much snow the last few days that I'm starting to tire of it. The dogs , however, are still loving every minute.
Quick capture with #lgg6photography of the Old Fraser Bridge (CN Railway Bridge) in Prince George. When I was a child it was the only way across the river. Over 100 years old...the bridge, not me. #oldbridge #bridge #railwaybridge
I certainly had their full attention for a few moments while I snapped off some quick photos before leaving them to explore this section of the forest on their own.
(032/365) A quick iPhone shot as I was walking Bella yesterday. It was freezing but a brisk 3km walk around the woods here soon warmed me up.
Tintern Abbey is a Cistercian abbey located on the banks of the River Tintern in Co Wexford, Ireland. Now a popular tourist attraction, the Abbey - which is today in ruins (although parts have been restored) was founded in 1203 by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, as the result of a vow he had made when his boat was caught in a storm nearby. Once established, the abbey was colonised by monks from the Cistercian abbey at Tintern in Monmouthshire, Wales, of which Marshal was also patron. To distinguish the two, the mother house in Wales was sometimes known as 'Tintern Major' and its daughter abbey in Ireland as 'Tintern de Voto' (Tintern of the vow).
