THESE bee-eaters have one of the most complex family-based social systems found in birds.
It nests in cliffs or banks of earth with others, known as "clams." Non-breeding individuals become helpers to relatives and assist in raising their brood. Just amazing to watch.

This picture is my effort for Autism awareness. Myself being the father of a gifted child with high functioning autism. I am trying to convey through this photo that the view of the world is different for a person with autism. Not better or worse, just a different perspective from you or I that covers a multitude of things including visual and emotional. My son loved this picture when he saw it, so it's for him and a million others who see the world through different eyes.
So, here is the next 10.5mm-fishyeye-installment; the saga continues...
It occurred to me the other day, that I've been a part of this Flickr community for a year now! And what a fantastic bunch of people you all are; true artists who never fail to inspire!
It's Bank Holiday weekend, here in the UK, and we plan on visiting family down south, for a few days. Whatever you're doing, have a good one!

Snow, hail, rain, sleet, slush, fog ... such was the weather of our trip. In five days I would guess we had about four hours of light ... so not alot of photos ... yet the trip was wonderful.
This is the first time I saw ANY of the Grand Canyon as we had 8 inches of snow while we were there and the fog filled up the canyon so that you could see nothing in it. The morning we left we FINALLY got a peak and a few shots.
This is at Mather Point just as the fog was flirting with the sun.
Silvereye (Zosterops lateralis)
I was in the front garden looking for insects and spiders with the macro lens on when I heard the call of the Sivereye. At first I discounted it thinking I had heard wrong when I heard the chatter of three or four of them. I looked up into the Pittosporum tree to see them, raced inside to change lens and managed to get a couple of shots. I have never seen them in our immediate area before. Shortly after they took off in a northerly direction.
We are peering through the forest and can catch a glimpse of the bottom of the St Columba Falls. Perhaps I should add here: This is not an infra red. But it makes an interesting contrast and comparison to the infra red shots I showed you. Whereas the infra reds are about the light, black and white here emphasizes the dark rich contrasts, shades of grey and textures. It needs to be a large print.
[Once again this photograph simply has to be enlarged to pick up the nuances I've described - especially the fern fronds.]
A very early shoot tomorrow folks, leaving at 4:30-a.m. that is unheard of, so my post for tomorrow is here.
Have a great day and thank you so very much for visiting.
I should also mention folks and something you all know is that I continue to see only one image per contact, and that there is no one over looked, ever.
Break on Through and View Large on Black
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Yeah!

A view over the (appropriately named) Winter Hill in Macclesfield yesterday. This greeted me as I opened the curtains and I grabbed my camera before the moment passed. I wish I'd had more time to set this up - but the light was fleeting! And the snow melted fast.
I'm pleased with this one, because it was taken handheld and under pressure, as I was touring the house with my family who were getting increasingly impatient every time something caught my eye! So there was no time to linger. But the symmetry struck me, something that is echoed throughout the mansion at Tatton Park (Cheshire).
Thank you for all the views, faves and comments - I really appreciate it! It was quite a thrill to see my previous photo Explored!
HFF everyone!!!
Here we have another bird that has been eluding me for a while folks, but managed a few of this guy.
Early shoot today and will catch up later.
Thank you for stopping by everyone, and have a great day.
A pair of Southern Pacific SD45T-2s in full “Speed Lettering”, muscle a 68-car merchandise train through a tree lined curve east of Springville, Utah the afternoon of Oct. 27, 1996.
UNEXPECTED VISITOR Just as we were packing up from seeing anything decent from our hide in a wooded area, this beautiful male cuckoo appeared, with glistening emerald green plumage. We had a mad panic trying to get back into shooting mode again, as it did stay more than a few seconds. Seen in the Gambia, and lucky to do so.
=======================
THANK YOU for your visit and friendship, I am still looking back and enjoying some of my old images, and I hope you are too.
Keep Warm safe and well

A bit of a happy accident in the low winter afternoon light as the GEs leading train 934 with a reasonable loading are about to cross the southern branch of the Waianakarua River as seen through a canopy of pines.
This train is often zero or few wagons - perhaps it only exists to catch any overflow from 920 and bring the crew up for 925.
5 June 2020, Train 934, 5166-5108, Waianakarua, SIMT-NZ
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.
Captured at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent.
