This is Scrummage, he lives on a 1930 Sailing Cutter that sails from Swanage, give him a biscuit and he'll show you the ropes.
Well, maybe not a scrum, but never having seen these birds before, that's what it looked like when I first encountered these birds.
I was on my second drive north to Alaska from Maryland and I was on the Alaska Highway between Whitehorse and Tok. I was passing by Kluane Lake when I saw what appeared to be a flock of birds on the water, so I quickly stopped and walked back past some trees to see what was there. Nothing. I scratched my head thinking that I had seen something and wondering if they had flown away. Just then these ducks started to reappear on the surface one by one. Obviously diving ducks of some kind but my word, what a head and beak on these birds! I watched as they would repeatedly dive as a group, leaving the surface together, and then after about 30 seconds they would reappear. And while on the surface it was as though they were talking about the recent dive just before they dove again. I watched them for about a half an hour just mesmerized by their behavior!! In this photo about half of them have already dove and you can see the tail-feathers of those going down.

The scrubby wood a field away from my house where so many of my gorse and Arachtober macro pictures get taken. A place to take a camera for a very slow walk and then look under stones ...and then forget you have a camera for a while.

…… Another look at the super sculpture by Jacob Chandler at the new Rugby services on the end of the M6 just prior to the M1, highly recommended services if you need a driving break. Taken on my phone in Apple RAW & edited to B&W in Lightroom, again I was very pleased with the phones capture of this scene. See previous post or 1st comment box here for a view from the other side.

En el rugby, melé (Scrum), jugada en la que los delanteros de cada equipo, agachados y agarrados, se empujan para hacerse con el balón, que ha sido arrojado a ras del suelo en medio de ellos.
The second scrum of long tail ducks started right in front of me. I had to remove the 1.4TCIII ad just kept my finger on the trigger...an amazing battle above and below the surface, with the female popping up every so often, almost always next to spiky (see previous posts).
I'm not sure of the correct name for a collective of photographers but perhaps scrum will work. The number of people, tripods, and cameras ebbed and flowed for almost the entire three hours on this weekend morning. Thankfully the weekday later was much less populated and didn't include the light rain. As you can tell, Caddo Lake State Park has become quite popular. This was the Sunday of a holiday weekend.

Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy!
Coming together as a community to enjoy a game of amateur Rugby League. Eighty minutes of good hard rugby followed by a couple of pints and a good craic in the club house after the match. #flickrfridaytogether #flickrfriday

Went to see Canada play Scotland in the Churchill Cup 2006 @ Twin Elm Rugby Park tonight. Good game, and we came close - Scotland won the match 15-10.
A game of 2 halves on Saturday as Jersey Rugby Club played Doncaster Knights at St Peter. Atrocious wind would mean that both sides would have to play against it over the match.
Jersey would take 17 points in the first half and Doncaster would later equalise, the final points occuring late into stoppage time.
Final score 17-17

Heads together, who'll win here? LOL
Is what I saw in these delightful little Dwarf Aquilegia,(Columbine/Granny's Bonnet) with the very appropriate name of RHUBARB and CUSTARD!
What a balancing act, lol.
Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)

Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland. I saw these workmen struggling to replace a toppled bench into its foundations and all I could think of was a rugby scrum - though I am pleased to see that there is no sign of a 'builder's bum' anywhere! Just a little bit of 'Fun for Friday', have a great weekend everyone!
