Looking Close... on Friday: Tip
On tonight's episode of "Cats Are Perfect": the ear! This delicate, soft little ear possesses 32 muscles (we poor humans only have 6) and allows cats to keep their balance, move their ears 180°, and of course hear 5 times better than us. It never ceases to amaze me how these little killing machines with superfeline powers can be so graceful, elegant, beautiful... and so, so cute! (Incidentally, the cuteness is... not incidental. They share baby-like features with lots of baby animals, which makes us subconsciously attracted to them. But these devious little monsters have also managed to tune their purring to a human baby's cries, triggering our instinct to protect, help... and smooch. We are being totally manipulated. And we love that.)
Spotted on my weekly transect walk at King's Meadow Reserve in Nottingham (UK) - the only sighting on an uninspiring cool, breezy day (0203).
One from the archives for the Looking Close on Friday theme of tip. I have no idea what the plant is!
I photographed this little Palm Warbler last week during Spring migration at Chicago's Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary.

CPKC is really pushing the limits of their mainline in the Mississippi River floodwaters in downtown Davenport, IA as an empty ballast train heads north with KCS 3967 and KCS 4405.
Another northbound would follow the ballast train 1.5 hours later and the mainline will possibly shut down yet today with floodgates closing at Waterworks.

Common though not so abundant this year.
Lea Wood, Lincolnshire, UK. - I thought one would never land but this one did for a brief moment. Lockdown walk.
did try to put the Tears for Fears track here (tipping point) but for some reason I keep on getting a bad link - so I shall hum instead -----^^
When in the country I use to find antlers that had been shed, trick is to beat the field mice to the prize. That is my tip of the day on getting antler tips.
Spring is in the air after a slow start! The first pair of the season on a local nature reserve close to home (Nottingham, UK) (1628)

This male Orange Tip was taking a few minutes rest on his favourite sprig of Hawthorn, from defending his patch. Orange Tip season seems to be almost over. A shame as I love to see them in spring, and this was a bumper year for them.
The remains of a hortensia flower, a little bit of one of the flowers is still holding on.
Happy looking close....on Friday!
