On the River Exe at Countess Wear, Exeter, Devon, England. Probably a slightly oiled bird; it was actively preening. [Scanned from original slide.]
Northern Cardinal (Cardinal cardinalis), male. His bright red plumage adds cheerful color to the drab winter days. Backyard bird.

open shutter, gradual camera drag - just like that :)
This is the first adult red-shouldered hawk I've seen in the park, so I was very happy to get a photo. It's not a common bird here as we are on the western edge of its range. Previously I've only seen a couple juveniles of this species.

Second attempt at off camera flash with 7d. Black background seems to be much harder than white and I had to play with the levels in Lightroom to avoid shadows. Two flashes - 430 EX II as fill flash at 3 o'oclock and one Yn 568 at 7 oclock and elevated. Had to hide the 7d pre flash as it was causing a reflection.

Here's a large red damselfly that recently emerged from my pond here in Catford, South London. It's the 1st time I've actually seen anything come out of my pond in the 5 years since it's been there! I thought it was devoid of life until a few weeks ago & was basically just the local watering hole, as up until then I've only seen the birds, squirrels, foxes & my cat drink from it..:)
Have a great Sunday Y'all

The name for this particular weaver derives from the breeding season coloration of the male of the species. While he remains duller during the rest of the year, when the time for courtship arises, he sports a bright red head, breast, and upper back. The rest of his body is grey with a bright orange bill. Females have a quite different appearance, however. Their heads are a duller yellow, blending into a white breast with grey wings and back. Juveniles are duller in color than the adults.
The rough-looking nests with a 15-20cm long tunnel are the masterful creations of the Red-Headed Weaver which is in fact the only true weaver that uses twigs instead of grass as a building material. The male Red-Headed Weaver will construct a nest on a hanging branch above water or on a power-line, these specific areas making it difficult for predators such as a Boomslang to get to the chicks. The males construct the nests in the breeding season which is from October.
