The European red-rumped swallow (Cecropis rufula) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family Hirundinidae. It breeds in open hilly country of southern Europe and north Africa east to Iran, Pakistan and northwest India. During winter it migrates to Africa and southwest Asia. It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the eastern red-rumped swallow (Cecropis daurica), united under the common name of “red-rumped swallow”.
European red-rumped swallows are somewhat similar in habits and appearance to the other aerial insectivores, such as the related swallows and the unrelated swifts (order Apodiformes). They have blue upperparts and dusky underparts.
They resemble barn swallows, but are darker below and have pale or reddish rumps, face and neck collar. They lack a breast band, but have black undertails. They are fast fliers and they swoop on insects while airborne. They have broad but pointed wings.
European red-rumped swallows build quarter-sphere nests with a tunnel entrance lined with mud collected in their beaks, and lay 3 to 6 eggs. They normally nest under cliff overhangs in their mountain homes, but will readily adapt to buildings such as mosques and bridges.
They do not normally form large breeding colonies, but are gregarious outside the breeding season. Many hundreds can be seen at a time on the plains of India.
A beautiful red tulip from a bunch I got yesterday. So, have spent the day photographing flowers and marbles. I love tulips, love red and love abstract macro.

"love withers with predictability; its very essence is surprise and amazement. to make love a prisoner of the mundane is to take its passion and lose it forever."

´RUTTING BEHAVIOUR.´ (2)
An image made a year ago showing a Red Deer stag moving in on a hind.
I love that look of concentration and intent on his face. Nothing else existed beyond the object of his desires and I felt genuinely sorry when his advances were rejected and she ran off. He had tried so hard to win her over with throaty bellows whilst shadowing her closely.
She certainly kept him keen by acting mean!
His next move was to urinate then thrash the spot with his antlers, spreading his scent. Successful ? … not a chance. Mating was going to be strictly on her terms.
It has been over 6 months since I posted a Red Kite despite the fact I can take shots of them most weekends or the similar Black Kite. Time to do one from a day less gloomy than at present.
Red kites disappeared in England by the end of the nineteenth
century because of human actions. They were killed in the belief
that they attacked lambs and gamebirds (e.g. pheasants).
In fact, they pose no threat to sheep farming or game rearing, although
they will eat dead lambs and pheasants.
A few pairs survived in Wales. In 1989 a plan to bring the red kite
back to England and Scotland was begun. Between 1989 and 1993,
chicks from Spain and Sweden were released at specially protected
sites and allowed to fly free.

A single red Gerbera with what I believe is called Solidago, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't really do indoor photography with natural light but I loved the way the sun was shining through the blind and decided to use it for a creative effect. As this light coming from behind it meant I had to use a flash to light the flowers, seemed weird to use flash when it was so bright in reality. I then added another flash aimed at the background to add the red gradient.
The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent.
In Great Britain, Italy and Ireland, numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America, In addition, habitat loss is a factor. Due to this, without conservation the species could disappear from those shores within a generation.
I love the new colors of echinacea, commonly known as cone flowers. I've added red, orange and yellow ones to my Lake Tahoe garden. Hope they survive the winter.
Thanks for your visit and all of your support. Hope everyone has a great week ahead.
