A great egret speared a little bluegill or sunfish just before sunset and was carrying it ashore to consume. Well, unless I get something today, this ends my special flickr food channel edition.
I recently 'discovered' this face at Cape Spear, near St. John's, NL, Canada. I'm wondering if anyone else has 'discovered' or photographed it.
Manchester’s Northern Quarter’s mix of grit and colour never really sleeps; it just pauses long enough to be noticed.
I got to add a lifer to my bird list with this Anhinga. Of course, with a straight bill and having just speared the fish, it had to do some work to make sure it doesn't lose the fish as it maneuvered the fish for consumption. A nice sized meal for the bird as well!
It was a treat to see more than 20 new bird species in Florida at last count, and I'll be working to process them as well as other shots and share them on Flickr over time.

A dazzling day that almost hurt the eyes. I love the light that gives shape and form to the incoming breaking waves, like silver serpents writhing on the sand. Spearing the sunfish is by British Sea Power, and was part of the filmscore they did to the wonderful black and white film Man of Arran. Like everyone else I'm really missing watching this ebreaking wave dazzle diamond bright.
A wonderful bright walk this morning, with the sun beating down from an almost cloudless sky. Reflections were out, but as there was a fair bit of water flowing over the cliffs at Cwm Mawr, I tried a long exposure into the full sun. It was great fun, and I love the light rays through the water flow. Spearing the Sunfish is a great track, and a suitable title, and is by all time favourites British Sea Power.

Looking out towards Fort Amerhest and beyond to Cape Spear, the most easterly point in North America.
More hummer shots from the day I was lucky enough to get a few decent ones. Haven't been so lucky since then!
When I got to Cape Spear it was raining but I liked the mood so I set my tripod up in the car and rolled down the window and this is what I got
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis_shrimp:
Mantis shrimp are carnivorous marine crustaceans of the order Stomatopoda. Stomatopods branched off from other members of the class Malacostraca around 340 million years ago. Mantis shrimp typically grow to around 10 cm (3.9 in) in length, while a few can reach up to 38 cm (15 in). A mantis shrimp's carapace covers only the rear part of the head and the first four segments of the thorax. Varieties range in colour from shades of brown to vivid colours, with more than 520 species of mantis shrimp known. They are among the most important predators in many shallow, tropical and subtropical marine habitats. However, despite being common, they are poorly understood, as many species spend most of their lives sheltering in burrows and holes.
Called "sea locusts" by ancient Assyrians, "prawn killers" in Australia, and now sometimes referred to as "thumb splitters"—because of the animal's ability to inflict painful wounds if handled incautiously—mantis shrimp have powerful raptorial appendages that are used to attack and kill prey either by spearing, stunning, or dismembering. Some mantis shrimp species have specialised calcified 'clubs' that can strike with great power, while others have sharp forelimbs used to seize the prey (hence the term "mantis" in their common name).

I did wonder if this might not be Knapweed but the spikes on the leaves left me thinking Spear Thistle.

We woke up very early and drove to Cape Spear to catch a gorgeous sunrise. I merged a few shots together to create this panoramic view. Cape Spear is the oldest lighthouse in the Province and is at the most eastern point of Canada.

This hunting spear tip was made from a 6 inch nail by Datoga Tribe blacksmiths in Tanzania with only a lump hammer and chisel. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to make and is absolutely lethally sharp.
Stark white Cape Spear Lighthouse pierces a sky swirling with seabirds atop a craggy headland. It overlooks a vast expanse of indigo ocean where glittering processions of icebergs glide by, Humpback whales breach and pods of porpoises send misty spouts into the Atlantic air. On North America’s easternmost point of land, historic Cape Spear Lighthouse, the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland and Labrador, offers a glimpse into the lives of 19th century lighthouse keepers and their families..
