ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

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.

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.

Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.

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 ...

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

for this year, at least. Probably the most successful and inexpensive garden purchase I've ever made. It was £4.99 (OK, £5.00) from my local Asda. It was all dry and weak, but it's grown from strength to strength over the years.

 

Title prompted by my liking for this song from one of my favourites from my teenage years (actually I still like it) :-)

You're probably far too young to remember this in its original form !

 

Thanks as always for every view and comment, my friends. Each one of you is so appreciated.

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 !!

Thanks to everyone that takes the time and makes the effort to comment and fave my pics its very much appreciated

A small meal for this early morning Kingfisher

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.
