I don't usually photograph the Gulls but this one was so close and posing quit well so I fired off a quick shot.
I was stitting on a bench near the edge of the water when this one flew to a boulder close beside me. Here is a close up showing the red eye ring they sport during breeding season.

Macro Mondays - Ring
Happy Macro Monday everyone.
This silver ring is sitting on a silk flower petal that is 4cm across.
This is a composite of a Ringed Kingfisher as it's making its dive. Taken at the SouthWild Pantanal Lodge in Brazil. The Ringed is the largest kingfisher we saw, followed in size by the Amazon, Green and Pygmy.
Taken at Welsh Mountain Zoo, Colwyn Bay.
Thank you to everyone who views, favs or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
What a challenge these were, running along the beach at 50 mile an hour. I sat and waited patiently and noticed that they were returning to the same area every now and then , soon i was rewarded.
Taken on the Norfolk coast.
for another safe week (with a slight reduction of restrictions)!
Healthy Blue Monday!

Ring-billed gull.

Perhaps one of the most common birds in the US, and one I take for granted or rather ignore because they are so plentiful. When I see a gull, it is most likely a ring-billed. It is the gull I have to scan to see if a desirable outlier might be among the ring-bills.
However, I have decided to photograph the ultra common birds, too, so I thought I would begin a gull series with this ever-present bird.
I found this guy on the shores of Lake Huron.
This is a ring-necked duck. A rather dapper looking duck with bright yellow eyes. The ring around their neck is often not apparent but can sometimes be seen as a chestnut-toned ring around the base of their neck. The title is a reference back to 1970's era ad series here in the U.S. for Wisk laundry detergent which they touted as being able to get rid of that pesky ring around the collar. This duck must use Wisk 😁
Ringed Plover - Charadrius Hiaticula
The common ringed plover's breeding habitat is open ground on beaches or flats across northern Eurasia and in Arctic northeast Canada. Some birds breed inland, and in western Europe they nest as far south as northern France. They nest on the ground in an open area with little or no plant growth.
If a potential predator approaches the nest, the adult will walk away from the scrape, calling to attract the intruder and feigning a broken wing. Once the intruder is far enough from the nest, the plover flies off.
Common ringed plovers are migratory and winter in coastal areas south to Africa. In Norway, geolocators have revealed that adult breeding birds migrate to West Africa. Many birds in Great Britain and northern France are resident throughout the year.
The ringed plover is a small, dumpy, short-legged wading bird. It is brownish grey above and whitish below. It has a orange bill, tipped with black, orange legs and a black-and-white pattern on its head and breast. In flight, it shows a broad, white wing-stripe.
They breed on beaches around the coast, but they have also now begun breeding inland in sand and gravel pits and former industrial sites. Many UK birds live here all year round, but birds from Europe winter in Britain, and birds from Greenland and Canada pass through on migration.
Population:
UK breeding:
5,400 pairs

Ring ouzels are roughly the size and shape of a blackbird. Males are mostly black, with a broad white crescent across the breast and white edging to the wings and some body feathers, which gives them a scaly look. Females are similar, but the black is often more brownish, and the white parts duller. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.

Ringing Roger, Peak District, UK

Possibly my favourite composition at Ringing Roger with the foreground rock creating an 'x'. I've stood here many times perfecting the composition. It felt quite precarious yesterday with the frozen rocks.
These are the best conditions I've had. Often, patchy doesn't work, creating too much contrast. But the hard frost decreased the contrast on the rocks.
I couldn't fit the foreground rock into one frame for the previous upload as I only had 24mm equivalent lens. This is good though as going wider reduces the impact of Loose Hill and the Great Ridge.
Here are some of my silver rings from my early teens. I’ve kept them as a l reminder of those times, and it was nice to take them out and use them today.

Scientific name: Charadrius hiaticula.
The Ringed plover is a small wader that nests around the coast, flooded gravel pits and reservoirs. It is similar to the Little Ringed Plover, but is a little larger, has an orange bill and legs, and doesn't have a yellow ring around its eye. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.

It's not until next month but my husband and I will be celebrating our 30 year anniversary. I asked him to leave his ring home today so I could practice ring shots, not that I have any weddings lined up. As I have aged my fingers have changed because of a bit of arthritis and though I might sometimes be able to slip my ring on, once the day goes by getting it off can be challenging. If I get it sized to go over my knuckle, I'm afraid will roll around on my finger, anyone else have this issue? How do you solve it? I'd like to wear my ring again.
