Early June and a 2nd Week long trip to RSPB Bempton in East Yorkshire.
Day 5. Tuesday.
A Rock Dove flying along the slopes of RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
The Rock Dove is the wild ancestor of domestic pigeons the world over, domesticated originally to provide food. Feral Pigeons come in all shades, some bluer, others blacker - some are pale grey with darker chequered markings, others an unusual shade of dull brick-red or cinnamon-brown. Others can be more or less white while others look exactly like wild rock doves.
Rock River Falls........down some dirty/muddy two tracks, then a 1 mile hike that becomes a mucky mess. Thankfully their was some wood planks to get you there. If you are going to see this fall you might as well go down the two track to Silver Falls (aka Silver Bell Falls)
To me it just isn't spring until I've heard two or three of my favorite bird songs. The first being the Meadowlark and the second being the Canyon wren and the third being the Rock Wren. The wrens and the meadowlark occupy very different habitats that I like to wander in pursuit of wildlife and both have hauntingly beautiful songs that when combined with the sights and smells of spring, entice me to stay in the wild and return to the city no more. If only...
This past weekend I heard both rock wrens and canyon wrens in the canyons I visited. So I just need to get out and hear some meadowlarks now.
Here is a link to the songs of the wrens:

The Rock of Cashel (Irish: Carraig Phádraig), also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock, is a historic site in Ireland's province of Munster, located at Cashel, South Tipperary.
The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe
One of the most photographed spots on Mackinac Island, Michigan is Arch Rock. This geological wonder is a natural limestone arch that was formed during the Nipissing post-glacial period when high Lake Huron levels and wave action created openings in the rock. Arch Rock stands 146' over the Lake Huron shoreline--nearly 15 stories tall. The opening spans 50' at its widest point. In Anishinaabe-Ojibwa tradition, the Great Creator blew the breath of life into the newly formed earth and created Arch Rock. Like nearby Devil's Kitchen and Sugar Loaf, Arch Rock's limestone formation took thousands of years by wind, water and receding glaciers to be created. It is made of breccia limestone, a rare limestone for the Great Lakes. The limestone formation was so unique that it was one of the reasons early Mackinac Island residents lobbied for the island to become Mackinac National Park in 1875, and then Mackinac Island State Park in 1895. Arch Rock is located along Arch Rock Road on the southeast portion of the island and offers sweeping views of Lake Huron and Canada.

Rock pools are a very distinctive feature of the Sydney coastline; most of the headlands separating Sydney's beaches have one. This one is at South Curl Curl.
My son plays lead guitar in the school rock band.He is the one doing the scissor kick to pump up his band mates and the audience. I have to admit, I was on an emotional high seeing him rocking out. After the show, it continued as people went out of their way to congratulate him on his performance. Then he went off to the USA directly from the show to see Bruce Springsteen with one his teachers.

The Flint Hills are an area of rolling plains in the eastern part of Kansas. They are only hilly compared to the rest of the state, but it's a beautiful area. This is Teter Rock, which sits on Teter Hill, one of the highest points in the area. The rock was erected as a landmark for pioneer families on their way west. It's visible for miles around.
This is the view from the Fallen Rock overlook which is the fourth scenic overlook along Rim Rock Drive at Colorado National Monument. I'm confident that you can easily spot the "Fallen Rock which is a striking example of how giant slabs of sandstone break loose from the cliff wall and slide down to rest on the debris slope below-all without falling over. Look closely and you can see the Kayenta Formation caprock on top of Fallen Rock. That tells us that it used to be connected to the mesa top and has slid down more than 100 feet (30 meters). It is likely that Fallen Rock slid thousands of years ago." This is more useful information I found in the Rim Rock Drive Geology pamphlet. I love this view as it shows the large size of the Grand Mesa in the far distance. The Grand Mesa is the largest flat-topped mountain in the entire world.
Located high on the Colorado Plateau near Grand Junction, the Colorado National Monument was established in 1911 and is managed by the National Park Service.
Just returned from a wonderful trip to South Africa where I had the absolute pleasure of guiding the photographical game-drives for a group of very special people at Marataba Game Reserve in South Africa.
Those of you that know me a bit longer here on Flickr, know that I simply can't resist a Lilac Breasted Roller. Especially not when it flies against the backdrop of the beautiful Waterberg Mountains..
So there's rock, and a Roller..
