The Asilidae are a family in the order Diptera, the true flies. The common name for members of the family is the robber flies (also called assassin flies). The Asilidae are cosmopolitan, with over 7000 described species. Spotted this one on a walk up to the Castillo de Gibralfaro, Malaga, Spain. It must have an appetite!!!

Found this male Hooded Merganser busy diving for breakfast and was astonished by the size of the Frog-leg meal he found. Bottoms up… so to speak : )
Adult males are a sight to behold, with sharp black-and-white patterns set off by chestnut flanks. Females get their own distinctive elegance from their cinnamon crest.
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

While poor mum kangaroo had been out in the rain all night, little joey was very happy to dine alfresco the smart way - in the cosy warmth of the pouch!
These were just two of the many regular wildlife visitors that wandered freely through the unfenced grounds of the caravan park in Halls Gap.
It was still cold yesterday, but on the terrace of the Main Public Library, this New Yorker avoided the long lines elsewhere and had plenty of empty seats and tables to choose from for his lunch break

As the temperatures rise, our sleepy northern village takes on a more continental feeling. Lots of cafes serving drinks outside.
