Peregrine Falcon - Falco Peregrinus
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and – in recent years – availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.

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.
I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

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.
Heres some history;

www.glendalough.connect.ie/pages/articles/militaryroad/mi...
Thomas Weaver, an English engineer, discovered lead ore while building this road which " lead" to major mining in this area. Its nice to think that something good came out of this dreadful period in history.
The road was build in 1798 by the English army to try and capture the rebels that were hiding in the Wicklow mountains. It was a way to quickly bring troops from Rathfarnam, Co. Dublin to any trouble spots. It was quite successful but Michael Dwyer and Gen Joseph Holt hid out in the mountans for 5 years before giving themselves up. Dwyer hid in a cave in Glenmalure which I found last year having searched off and on for 4 years.
They both were given free passage to Australia. Dwyer became the sherrif of New South Wales and died there where as after many adventures, Holt got back to Ireland.
The road is still there and in use every day with innumerable little bridges that are still intact which is a testament to the men who built it all those years ago. A truly awe inspiring place and Im so lucky to live so close to it.

Thank you!

Every photograph in order to be successful should convey a message to its viewer ... A message sometimes subtle and vague, while others strong and profound.
A frame with a latent underlying message is what we have here ... A photo that consists of two mutually contradictory both physically and symbolically elements that are nevertheless "condemned" by an act of fate to a harmonic, pleasant to the eye and not likely to easily come across elsewhere symbiosis ...
A stony, tiny in size underground blockhouse still stands in one piece against all odds .. A second world war remnant that still holds its "proud" figure intact ... This symbol that reminds us of man's insatiable, hostile and aggressive nature is being "attacked" this time by a fully blossomed almond tree that "decided" to become its long-term partner in life ...
A scene that bears a strong anti-war message, a truly optimistic scene .... Devoted to all of you who are fed up with the unbelievable ugliness that lurks around our lives lately ...

Insanely good hunter cum ultimate bad*ss.
The owl typically has 3 talons pointing forwards and one pointing backwards. It can swivel one of the front toes backwards. This talon arrangement enables the owl to spread the talons out wide to increase the chance of a successful strike, and also to grasp with crushing pressure to make sure that the unfortunate prey can not get free easily.
Cool facts from Google search:
-A Great-horned Owl's talon can exert a pressure from 200 to an incredible 500 pounds per square inch (psi).
-Golden Eagle's talon: 400 to 700 psi.
-German Shepherd's bite force: 240psi.

We attended a special guided tour early in the morning, before opening time.
This allowed me to take these photos of the siblings through the glass pane in peace.
Wir besuchten eine spezielle Führung in der Früh, vor der Öffnungszeit.
Dadurch konnte ich in Ruhe diese Aufnahmen der Geschwister durch die Glasscheibe machen.
Beautiful waders these!! This male was amazingly successful at catching leather jackets like this one caught as the sun began to sink over the mountain tops at dusk
The colours like a magpie are never just plain black and white. First thought and what looks like a flash of khaki on close inspection is a mass off stunning hues of green more beautiful than any jewellery or anything man could make !!

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.
Another successful introduced bird. This bird will build a nest on top of another bird's nest with eggs. They breed all year around. Western Gateway Park, Nevada Co, California on 16 February 2018.

Ο νέος και πολύ δραστήριος ιερέας του χωριού μας ανέσυρε προσφάτως σωρεία ιερών εικόνων χρονολογουμένων από τον 16ο έως τον 18ο αιώνα και πήρε την τολμηρή απόφαση, άν βεβαίως το επιτρέψει ο Θεός,να τις αποκαταστήσουμε σιγά-σιγά όλες.
Πρώτη,όπως ήταν φυσικό,επελέγη η ιερά εικόνα της προστάτιδος του χωριού μας, Αγίας Οσιοπαρθενομάρτυρος Παρασκευής της Αθληφόρου
Το σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα μέσα στο οποίο ευρέθησαν τα χρήματα αλλά και η ταχύτατη ταυτοχρόνως δε επιτυχέστατη αποκατάστασίς της οφείλονται αδιαμφισβήτητα στην παρρησία των πρεσβειών τής εικονογραφουμένης εις αυτήν προς τον Σωτήρα Χριστό.
Η φωτογραφία είναι από την ιερά λιτάνευσή της στον πανηγυρικό εσπερινό προς τιμήν της Αγίας την 25η Ιουλίου 2020 καθόσον πρόλαβε να είναι παρούσα με όλη την καινή λαμπρότητα στον εφετινό εορτασμό κατά την διάρκεια του οποίου το ιερό αυτό αποθησαύρισμα κατέστη πλέον και η εφέστιος εικών του Ι.Ναού του χωριού μας (Νομή Τρικάλων).
The young and very active priest of our village recently brought up piles of sacred icons dating from the 16th to the 18th century and made the bold decision, if God permits, to slowly restore them all.
First, as was natural, the holy icon of the patron saint of our village, Saint holy virgin martyr Paraskevi, was chosen.
The short period of time in which the money was found and its rapid and at the same time very successful restoration are undoubtedly due to the parsimony of the embassies illustrated in it to the Savior Christ.
The photo is from her holy litany at the panegyrical vespers in honor of the Saint on July 25, 2020 as she managed to be present with all the new splendor in this year's celebration during which this sacred hoarding became the central icon of Η. Church of our village (Νomi of Trikala).
