Another capture of male yellow tip. This one shows better the yellow (orange) tips of the wings. Females don't have the yellow color on their wing tips.
More than 50% crop of the original.
La Isla Pancha es un islote que se ubica en la punta noreste de Ribadeo, en la desembocadura del RÃo Eo. De superficie limitada, ocupa casi 1 hectárea y, aunque en ella se levantan dos faros (uno de ellos pintado de blanco y azul, datado de 1860) lo más probable es que no se pueda acceder ni al faro ni a la isla en general debido a que está unida a la costa por un puente que la mayorÃa de las veces se encuentra cerrado. Pese a ello, cabe destacar que la vista es mucho más hermosa desde el mirador que desde el faro.
En cuanto emprendemos camino por la carretera del Faro (la cual se señaliza como "Estrada do Faro") se presenta ante nosotros una impresionante panorámica de la RÃa, con Figueras y Castropol de fondo.
Pancha Island
is an islet that is located at the northeastern tip of Ribadeo, at the mouth of the Eo River. With a limited area, it occupies almost 1 hectare and, although two lighthouses stand on it (one of them painted white and blue, dating from 1860), it is most likely that neither the lighthouse nor the island in general can be accessed due to because it is linked to the coast by a bridge that is closed most of the time. Despite this, it should be noted that the view is much more beautiful from the viewpoint than from the lighthouse.
As soon as we set off along the Faro road (which is signposted as "Estrada do Faro"), an impressive panoramic view of the RÃa appears before us, with Figueras and Castropol in the background.
Cinnamon Teals are such beautiful ducks, and I've taken many shots of them, usually from such a great distance that I haven't posted any of them.
Some ducks were sleeping nearby the pond where I was shooting today, and I was pleasantly surprised to see one was a Cinnamon Teal. I wanted to get some nice shots of him swimming so I decreased my shutter speed to 1/1250 to bring out more detail in the darker colors.
But then he decided to fly. They are so fast that I didn't have time to increase my shutter speed. I just got lucky that this was in focus. He's one pretty duck!

I recently recorded a video with B&H with some helpful tips for shooting with a long telephoto lens. Check it out in the link below:
actionphototours.com/5-tips-for-shooting-telephoto-lenses/
I cover topics such as selecting the right lens, handholding techniques, how to shoot from a tripod in both calm and windy conditions, and much more!
The female Orange-tip lacks the conspicuous colourful wing tips of the male, but shares the beautiful camouflaged underwing pattern. I gave up chasing this one until a few minutes later when I realised she was following me instead. Then she skipped ahead and graciously allowed me a close-up portrait
I've never really had much luck with Orange Tips until our weekend visit to Cerne Abbas. They were so well behaved in the cool conditions I had time for a few lens changes.
Back Garden - after photographing this guy on Saturday, I watched him go to roost on the Weigela. Knowing it was going to be frosty the next morning I got up early to try to get some images with frost or dew - he was still there, but he must have been sheltered under the leaf, as I can only see the frost on the Weigela.

Yellow flowers cover the golden willows (Salix alba ‘Vitellina’) along Silver Tip Creek east of Belfry in Carbon County, Montana. A variety of white willow, the golden willow grows new stems that are a bright golden color. This bright color makes these trees stand out in the winter. In the spring slim, cylindrical, yellow flower clusters called catkins cover the trees as seen in this photo. These yellow flowers will give way to green leaves as the summer approaches. Golden willows are not native to Montana and Wyoming but were introduced by settlers who used them as windbreaks and shade trees. They escaped cultivation and naturalized across the area.

After leaving Chambers Farm Wood I popped into this small reserve just to see what might be about. My main target was dragonflies but it turned out that my highlight was seeing this orange tip visiting a flower.
I'm struggling to comprehend the seeming speed with which life has transitioned from manageable to the unimaginable. The preoccupation is rightly with the coronavirus itself. But ultimately the psychological aspect of longterm stress and anxiety might prove equally disabling. Each day brings an increased awareness that this is going to be a long term situation with effects that will surely outlast the virus itself. I'm clinging to daily routines in an effort to maintain mental health. But it's deeper than that. I need to feel a sense of self worth; a need to exist. There has to be more to a day than watching endless news coverage. It's important to be dialed into events, but I fear the hypnotic effect of ongoing news feeds. Balance is key right now. It will be a process of discovery for many of us as routines change, perhaps radically, as we find out how exactly we will fit into the new model. It will be a process.
We're on the verge of the vernal equinox; the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere is Thursday. Normally a time of year filled with hope and optimism. Likely to go all but unnoticed this year. I was scrolling through an old email queue yesterday looking for a past communication. There I stumbled upon threads from exactly one year ago. They were filled with discussion of problems and issues with jobs that seemed paramount at the time, but utterly trivial now. How I wished those sorts of problems were the worst thing in life now.
The other day I noticed a very challenging astrological makeup for this week starting tomorrow, March 18. An astounding six planets will cluster in the sign of Capricorn. The indication is one of a tipping point being crossed. Perhaps a big disclosure is in the offing. The tension will remain strong through early next week. Stay safe.
This low datum cabbed T45 Leyland Roadtrain still works hard in Malta. Formerly a tractor unit, it now serves as a tipper like so many others on the island.
Tip. Looking Close...on Friday!
Thank you in advance for views faves and comments all very much appreciated.
