Great White Egret - Ardea Alba
The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures. Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss, particularly wetland degradation through drainage, grazing, clearing, burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and invasion by exotic plants. Nevertheless, the species adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas.
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.
On 22 May 2012, a pair of great egrets was announced to be nesting in the UK for the first time at the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset. The species is a rare visitor to the UK and Ben Aviss of the BBC stated that the news could mean the UK's first great egret colony is established. The following week, Kevin Anderson of Natural England confirmed a great egret chick had hatched, making it a new breeding bird record for the UK. In 2017, seven nests in Somerset fledged 17 young, and a second breeding site was announced at Holkham National Nature Reserve in Norfolk where a pair fledged three young.
In 2018, a pair of great egrets nested in Finland for the first time, raising four young in a grey heron colony in Porvoo.

And he was successful. Seconds later, he caught a Zitting Cisticola for a meal. This is a migratory raptor from Central Asia that come in large numbers during winters to India. They can be commonly seen across the countryside and mostly in grasslands where they roost communally.
We sighted one on this fence preening and he spent around 5 minutes cleaning himself up. Then suddenly he dived flew behind the vehicle and landed in a far away field. He had a Zitting Cisticola, a small warbler in his claws which he finished pretty quickly.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
Successful catch against the light, been on the reserve since 17 December 2019, Starting to change in colour.

Sasha and I found this scared and hungry fellow in the dumpster by North Point Marina. The dumpster was very big and he couldn't get out without help.
To find long piece of wood around the marina was almost impossible, so we ran to the woods next to the marina and found old big branch on the ground.
It was very heavy but my 9 year old didn't complain so I didn't :-).
The second we put the branch into the dumpster he came out. I didn't have a chance get my camera.
He looked at us for couple seconds and ran away.
After a successful hunt, the Rough-leg flew off to enjoy his dinner. Unfortunately I had a tough time following him and had my shutter speed set a bit low-- this was as good a shot as I got. Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary in West Alton, MO

Deventer has had a very successful past that has made it one of the jewels of the Ijssel that it is today, founded in 768 by an English missionary Lebuinus it received city status in 956 and has never looked back since.
One of the first cities to receive a printing press the city has always had a love for the printed word and hosts the largest book fair in Europe as well as one of the largest Dickens festivals, the Dickens festival regularly attracts 125, 000 to this city of considerably less people.
Being a very bookish city it also established a renowned Latin school that boasted famous graduates like the humanist and theologian Desiderius Erasmus who attended the school as a child.
Deventer’s success from the sea came to a close with the silting up of the river Ijssel in the 16th century forcing the city from the sea trade and cargo management to working with metals and industrial production of everything from cigars to mattresses, today its main industry is central heating manufacture and the famous home to the honey cake.
I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 38mm 1/6s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

A successful hunt for the Pied Kingfisher - - but the fish is almost as big as him - - he carried this around from one side of the pond to the other; trying to hammer it on a number of different shaped rocks in the hopes of killing it - in hindsight video would have been really good for this but its never where my mind is
Since the successful reintroduction of Red Kite from Europe following near extinction due to persecution they have become, once more, quite a common sight in much of Britain. They are a real pleasure to watch flying over our local Hampshire fields and woodland where they nest. This dead tree within a hedge is a much used vantage point for the Red Kite.
Having successfully kept Rebel Rooster under his protective care, Jasper stood tall and proud. It was a rousing chase around the family room.
I use the term "under protective care" loosely. On Rebel Rooster's first day with Jasper, he lost an eyeball to Jasper's teeth. But luckily, in between being a fighter jet pilot and being a nuclear physicist, I spent some time as an eye surgeon so I was able to reattach Rebel's eyeball and he's fully stereoscopic again.
The 555 Super Squalo was not a very successful car for Ferrari, only managing a 4th place at Spa in the 1955 season before being sold on to private collectors. Peter Whitehead and Reg Parnell bought the first two chassis (555/1 and 555/2) and immediately fitted 3.5ltr Tipo 860 Monza engines so that the cars could compete in Formula Libre in Australia and New Zealand. The cars were then given the chassis numbers FL/9001 and FL/9002.
The 860 Monza engine that was fitted to the cars meant the chassis had to be stretched 3 inches to accommodate the larger sized motor, but resulted in a car that suddenly became successful, taking numerous wins in the 1956 and 1957 seasons in Australia and New Zealand.

وش حيلة اللي صابته رمية الهديف
خويك صويب طايح تنزف طعونه
مما جرى لها يطلب النجد والتسعيف
عيونه تخونه لين ما باح مكنونه
صويب الغزال اللي رعى عالي التنيف
في مرتع عسر على اللي يرودونه
غرير حسين الوصف ومكمل التوصيف
نذير يصون العرض واهله يدارونه
تبعد يميل الصيد شم الهوى طريف
وارموا مكانه وين كانوا يحيدونه
لو كان رماي ٍ على شارته هديف
على الشلش ولا تركد على هونه

As a former flagship of the Holland-America Line and cruise ship, the ss Rotterdam has sailed many oceans. It is a steamship with oil fired boilers and steam turbines.
It is one of the most famous post-war Dutch passenger ships. It experienced the last decade of transatlantic liner shipping between 1959 and the end of 2000 and was a successful cruise ship thereafter. Since 4 August 2008, the ship has been a floating attraction (guided tours, hotel-café-restaurant) at the Derde Katendrechtse Hoofd in the Maashaven in Rotterdam.
