Donna Nook is a wonderful place to visit on the Lincolnshire coast. There tends to be a really biting cold wind coming in from the sea but you forget all that with the wonders of what is on that beach. My friend and I witnessed a birth and..... unfortunately lots of fighting between naturally protective mothers protecting their pups and males wanting their pick of who to mate with. Then of course there are the numerous pups who, when awake, will grace your camera with some lovely images.

Blue-winged Kookaburra (Dacelo leachii leachii) - 20221003-04 by Sue Milks

254 176

Very large kingfisher with a lot of blue in the wings and tail. Note pale eye and pale, finely streaked head. Occurs across northern Australia in a variety of woodland habitats including parks and gardens. Often perches on powerlines. Its call is quite different to the Laughing Kookaburra, typically a loud rolling squawk and various loud yapping sounds. (eBird)

------------------

We saw this kookaburra sitting quietly on a signpost in the botanic gardens. He was quite content to let us get near enough to admire his colours. I did not find this species nearly as noisy as his cousin, the Laughing Kookaburra.

The Ocean by Brad

140 157

A very simple photo , but the simplicity of the ocean and coastlines are my happy place. Just your basic sea, sky, sand.

In solitude, I find solace by the sea,

Where peace whispers its tranquil melody.

The ocean's embrace, a sanctuary deep,

Where worries fade and souls, sweet release.

Hope everyone is having a great week.

along the salt pan by stefano romei

I think very big animals are complicate in photography composition.

I got this giraffe (girafa camelopardilis angolensis) in a grassland with the Etosha saltpan in the background.

It makes the photo a bit different to me and the animal pose helped the composition too.

Downtime Down Under - A MOOtiful Double Act in NSW! by Tony Hammond

This very MOOtiful double act were busy posing just outside my brother's property near Orange in New South Wales.

Cattle—colloquially cows—are the most common type of large domesticated ungulates. They are a prominent modern member of the subfamily Bovinae, are the most widespread species of the genus Bos, and are most commonly classified collectively as Bos taurus.

Cattle are commonly raised as livestock for meat (beef or veal, see beef cattle), for milk (see dairy cattle), and for hides, which are used to make leather. They are used as riding animals and draft animals (oxen or bullocks, which pull carts, plows and other implements). Another product of cattle is dung, which can be used to create manure or fuel. In some regions, such as parts of India, cattle have significant religious meaning. Cattle, mostly small breeds such as the Miniature Zebu, are also kept as pets.

Around 10,500 years ago, cattle were domesticated from as few as 80 progenitors in central Anatolia, the Levant and Western Iran. According to an estimate from 2011, there are 1.4 billion cattle in the world. In 2009, cattle became one of the first livestock animals to have a fully mapped genome.

Pheasant Coucal (Centropus phasianinus melanurus) - 20221005-07 by Sue Milks

142 97

Very large, primarily ground-based cuckoo. Adults are streaked rusty brown in nonbreeding plumage. In breeding plumage the head and front are black. They can fly, but are more typically seen running/flapping across roads, or clumsily crashing into dense vegetation. Unlike many cuckoos this species builds its own nest and does not lay eggs in nests of other species. Voice is a familiar repeated ‘whoop,’ and a screeching cat-like hiss. (eBird)

-----------------

We heard coucals many times during our trip, but this was one of the very few times we actually saw one. It was in the midst of its morning ablutions and sun bath (hence the ruffled feathers on its back), when we came around the bend in the river. It stopped briefly to peer at us, determined we were not a threat (it was far away and very high), and went back to its bath.
