A day out on the 10th December, which was to be my last outing of 2025, to photograph Kingfishers. Weather was very variable.
I didn't expect much but ended up getting several visits through the day.
At last the Kingfisher climbs away with a Fish.
The Common Kingfisher is a small bird with unmistakable plumage. Its back is bright metallic blue and its breast is a coppery-brown. The beak is long and black, though females have a orange patch at the base.

THANKS EVERYONE, all faves are much appreciated!
Have you ever noticed how people often identify success in several different ways? For the ℎ in these photos yesterday morning was pretty successful as he heads off into the distance to eat his breakfast that consists largely of meat that is on the rare side.
On the other hand, the vole probably would not classify the morning's outing as a success. Success depends on your point of view.
Couple things to note on the second photo. Right before this photo was taken there was a brief struggle in the cornfield as the harrier established who was daddy.
As he takes off, he still does not have total control. His right leg is not firmly attached to the vole as it was in later photos and if you look closely at his head, the harrier is flying blindly as he turns his head around and tries to ascertain what needs to be done to the load on his undercarriage.
And another thing, I felt I might have been the most successful of the 3 involved here; the vole is dead, the harrier had to eat the disgusting thing and I got to record it all from a safe distance.
Im going through the archives and having a clean out. This is the best of my images of this now uncommon bird. A difficult species for me, lets hope I can have more success this year.
The last image is from a series of images from a visit to Mull, the yellow in the background is gorse bush flowers....I have posted only one shot prior to these images from that set.
Various locations from Slovakia, East Yorkshire, Isle of Mull.
Thanks to all who view and comment on my images, much appreciated :)
After so many failed attempts, she finally managed to stand up on the board! :)
Have a lovely day, everyone...
I made Bar B Qued Venison Ribs for Christmas eve. I had no recipe, nor had I ever made them before. They dissapeared pretty quick and the "Regular" Venison eaters of the family gave a thumbs up.

Ever since I saw my first Ospreys back in 2013, diving in a local storm water pond for Goldfish, Koi or Catfish I was hooked. Every summer since I scout various storm water ponds around Greater Toronto Area over the week-ends for an opportunity to watch and photograph the spectacle. Sometimes I get lucky, most often I don't. These storm water ponds are mecca for migrating Ospreys. By end of first week of September they are very much gone from our area. A very narrow window of opportunity, but what an opportunity that is because of proximity of these ponds and their relative smaller size afford photographing these magnificent birds from close range.
As the shadows crept in, so did a sinking feeling that we'd been had. Lady Luck was planning a big tease, and fear turned into elation when not long after the BNSF train went by, a Nathan P3 was heard in the distance. With only minutes to spare, Trout Creek became the high-five moment of the day.
We watched this coyote catch 4 or 5 field mice on an early morning hunt in the frosty grasses in Yellowstone Park. Some went down in one gulp.

ABOUT CAMILO PARDO
Born in New York city, Camilo moved to Detroit at the age of 10 and had by that age developed a fascination with 60s and 70s era sports cars and modern art. After graduating from Detroit’s prestigious design school Center for Creative Studies in 1985, Camilo was hired by Ford Design Center in Dearborn Michigan. His assignments included working in the Dearborn Advanced Studios, Ford of Europe- Torino, Italy Studio , and the Design Studios in Cologne Germany. After 15 years at Ford Motor Company, he took on what was for him the ultimate assignment... a state of the art re-design of the classic Ford GT race car. This project developed the 2002 Ford GT concept car.
As chief Designer of the Ford GT and the SVT Studio, Camilo’s team worked on the 2005 and 2006 production Ford GT . The GT became an instant success capturing the interest of car enthusiasts around the world.
At the end of the work day at Ford, Camilo continued to explore an additional avenues of art & design. With the integration of Design principles and the abstractions of Fine Art, Camilo explores alternative design solutions.
This work is created in his studios, located in the city of Detroit and Los Angeles. His studios has been the scene of more than a few of Detroit’s openings and receptions. For the last 15 years, his studio has hosted the Detroit Auto’s Designers’ Night. An internationally recognized event which is attended by top automotive personnel and designers from all over the world. The North American International Auto Show has included Designer’s Night as a recognized NAIAS event appearing in all NAIAS publications.
By evening, Camilo is a serious, multifaceted artist with incomparable creative energy. This creativity is evident in his large, brightly colored oil paintings on canvas. This includes a large production of Automotive Fine Art. The same quality of creativity reaches a line of fashion design, that he describes as advanced fashion concepts. These fashion pieces have been created for auto shows and runway exhibits. Camilo’s industrial design reaches into sculptural furniture design, that has made the rounds from main art galleries in Metro Detroit, Italy, Japan, and the Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.
As a dedicated artist who sets no limits on his creative endeavors, Camilo has found that his outside artistic expressions further strengthen and complements his passion for automotive design.
With the Marquette Range littered with vestiges of better times, it is a pleasure to see an operation like Mineral Range reviving railroad activity in and around Ishpeming. How often do you see rail-to-trail segments converted back to rail operation! Wishing Clint and his crew further success (along with Lundin's copper operation).
. . . may be a good way to describe a flower. I don't like hearing "spectacular" to describe a bombing. Michigan lily (lilium michiganense) in my native wildflower garden now. Webster Groves, Missouri.

Caspian Tern. Best Viewed Large On Black They feed mainly on fish, which they dive for, hovering high over the water and then plunging. They also occasionally eat large insects, the young and eggs of other birds and rodents. They may fly up to 60 km from the breeding colony to catch fish; it often fishes on freshwater lakes as well as at sea. IMG_1866
Success!!!
This fish had been dropped after an aerial food fight at Conowingo Dam, then two juveniles tried unsuccessfully to retrieve it.
Finally this adult came down and showed the youngsters how to do it

Loon family...Day 2 Part 2 !! It's very hard to get close, they have a 20 foot radius you cross that boundary line (comfort zone) and they yodel "back off"!! I didn't need Google to tell me that I had plenty of time to study their language, although, never outstaying my welcome. It's an insult to have anyone think I'd keep the little one as I'm not a diver or live in the water. My firm motto in life (always has been) is if you love something set it free, if it comes back, it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was. I love this little one dearly, even though he was only with me for 24 hours. He is the one lifting his head up slightly as I peeped...his sibling is swimming next to dad.
The morning of reuniting Yogi with his family butterflies consumed my stomach as I had a lot of pressure to get this right. Yogi's life depended on it. When I arrived at the dock a lovely old couple greeted me and the sweetest faced lady who reminded me of my dad's mother was standing with her walker. She immediately asked me what on earth was wrong as I was crying from the overwhelming task ahead. She hugged me and said, "sweet angel, bless your heart for doing this, takes a special soul." Was as if God placed her there just for me as reinforcement. After their well wishes I then headed out in search of Yogi's parents praying the whole way I'd find them in a good spot.... It was crucial!! There they were...I paddled up as close as I could to the sibling chick. Kissed Yogi goodbye, scooped up my little bundle of fluff and placed him on my paddle, extended him as close as I dared and, Plop, dropped him into the water next to his sibling and...hurrah, he floated! I spun around to head out of dodge and the mother loon rushed over and scooped Yogi up onto her back. Success! Glancing back I was relieved to see the reunited loon family all swimming away. That night the haunting call of the loons had a special meaning for me and I smiled contentedly as I watched the loons floating in the moon splashed waves. I go to visit them every day, morning and night. So far so good, my heart does a happy dance every time I see him, on the third night the proud male paraded his family right by my kayak to show off their kids...the male's idea...after I saw the female giving him shit. It was priceless!...Every day is a blessing!
Dedicated to Elizabeth ....the sweet lady on the dock and Yogi, my miracle baby :)
Happy Canada Day!
Sort of. This little female Hooded Merganser is a very efficient hunter, while I watched she caught 4 blennies, an eel-like fish. Seems that catching them's the easy part, though, she really had a struggle getting them down. Mind you, they weren't terribly cooperative either. There's a video here that shows her difficulty. Have a good weekend, and don't fight with your food.
Not everyone in life is successful. Some try harder than others and success seems to find those with a combination of luck and determination. And sometimes not even those people will make it.
Defeat is not a shameful conclusion.
Because to be defeated means that you actually tried.
Those who don't try can't expect success.
Or happiness.

This is the dress! It's a pretty print on a thin material which will be cool in summer and it's a wrapover style, very easy to slip into. More importantly, it fits perfectly. Can't wait for a night out to show it off!
I had lost a camera lens, sometime in the last 3 days and i have been out in all the places and across all the muddy fields that i know i have crossed. This morning i found it sat in mud. Hopefully its none the worst for spending all that time out in the elements.
And here we are taking another step upwards in our journey of success..
