This adult female Bald Eagle came flying out to chase away an Osprey that had flown in a little too close to the Eagle's nest.
savute plains, a leopard is trying to approach a kudu .
those big cats have a slow approach technique during which a minimal error makes the hunting fail.
a leopard must approach about 10/15 meters from the prey to have a good chance..it then makes a brief and an explosive charge(uo to 60kmh) ,pounching on its prey and dispatching it with bite to the neck.leopards do not have the aptitude to chase their quarry over any kind of distance.many of their preys are faster and can be caught only with an ambush.despite what we think,researchers believe that each individual leopard accounts for 20/40 kills a year.
of course if preys are small or stolen from hyenas and lions they have to hunt much more.
the leopard intraspecific natural enemies are baboons (one of the leopard favorite meal too) ,hyenas and wild dogs can steal them the preys.
but only the male lions can catch and kill easily an adult leopard.
the lion females are used to attack leopards but usually with the purpose to intimidate them.lion females are more tolerant towards other animals not considered as food.
the lion males instead have an instinct that brings them to kill all the possible competitors and they do it.
in savute there are notorius lion prides and leopards must stay always on alert.
anyway the leopard remain maybe the most beautiful african predator ,a deadly form of perfection.

Little Raven (Corvus mellori)
Willie was not pleased that the Raven was in its territory and decided it had to move on. The Raven was last seen making a hasty retreat with two Wagtails on its tail!
1501 kicks out a fine head of steam as it starts the climb up Highley Bank. The nickname Raging Bull is well earned considering the noise it made too.
I completely forgot about this shot from a couple weeks back. We had been watching this Western Screech-Owl for a short time after it came to the edge of the nest box. We had taken some shots and Elliot had gone to the restroom before we left.
While I was waiting for him, a California Scrub Jay had taken umbrage to the owl being outside the box. It squawked and landed on top of the nest box warning the owl it wasn't happy. My lens was too long to capture both in the shot but you can clearly see the defense posture by the WSO.
Some humming is a warning. Some noses made to fight.
This male was guarding his territory from other birds. He wasn't very good at it, but he forced a few birds to the dirt. It was a difficult photo to get with the Nikon 85mm, but it's a fast lens. I was glad to get it on such a narrow depth of field.
ごちそうさまでした(｡☌ᴗ☌｡)💕

So firstly, thank you all SO much for the advice, criticism, encouragement and comments on the WIP photos.They were essential to this build, and in my opinion, made it look WAY better than before.Make sure to check out the album for more pictures! :)
My favorite part of this dio is probably the LAAT/i gunship or the rockwork.

🎼: Heart Attack ~ Demi Lovato~
Putting my defenses up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough
When I don’t care
I can play ‘em like a Ken doll
Won’t wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yeah you, make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand
(dang good thing I know CPR and more ... LOL)
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
I got the opportunity to see a Green Heron flying near our pond two evenings ago. I heard it before I saw it, so I knew to grab my camera and scan the sky. They're not very big, but they're unique so it wasn't too hard to find.
I was surprised to find some red-winged black birds chasing it through the sky, likely attacking as a way of protecting their babies and territory. (If you know, you know).
This is one of the pictures I managed to capture of one of the red-winged blackbirds going after the green heron as it tries to land on a tree.
It was fun to watch. I hope you enjoy the picture!

This young Mockingbird comes at Hilda or I when we go in our front yard. It will come so close you can feel the wind off it's wings. It can be in a tree in a neighbors yard and here it will come. We have Mockingbirds all the time and have never had one do this. I wish I had a camera with me a few days ago. It got after a squirrel and that squirrel took off.
Have a great weekend.
This male red squirrel (Bruce) flattened his ears because another squirrel went by at the base of that tree. The shot was taken just a moment before they started to chase each other (Squirrels-2019-9598.jpg)
Taken in July on the Farne Islands. I was using my camera to protect my head and thought hey, let's capture the little buggers while they attack. After taking around a hundred shots I had 2 I thought were good enough to keep!!!
Thank God for digital Cameras.
Gas masks displayed in the WW1 exhibition, Australian War Memorial, Canberra, ACT.
The Australian Imperial Force experienced gas attacks in most actions on the Western Front.
Gas bombardment of a wood at Messines led to 1,374 casualties, of which 310 were fatal.
Gas masks saved lives but also caused fatalities. They were extremely uncomfortable and hampered the movement of the men, inducing fatigue, disorientation and confusion.

We all have the same journey, existing and dying. Nature doing it, we don't need to do the killing-job of the nature for each other. Our enemies are sicknesses.

The Toa killer.
My entry for the 9th les Archives de Mavrah (Mavrah's Archives) contest on Bionifigs.
What I read on him heavily made me think of the Alien, so I used it a my primary inspiration. The shaping of the torso was inspired by the Engineer's suit in Prometheus.
He uses his six arms as shields against elemental attacks, and as spears to destroy the Toa's lifestones.
