I'd definitely go back to Back Beach, which forms part of the Paritutu Centennial Park on the outskirts of New Plymouth, New Zealand. It was blowing a gale on this evening, making it tough to keep the camera steady and the lens clear of sea spray! Loads of interesting rock formations, especially at low tide.
Red backed Shrike - Lanius collurio
The red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio) is a carnivorous passerine bird and member of the shrike family Laniidae. The breeding range stretches from Western Europe east to central Russia but it only rarely occurs in the British Isles. It is migratory and winters in the western areas of tropical Africa.
Once a common migratory visitor to Great Britain, numbers declined sharply during the 20th century. The bird's last stronghold was in Breckland but by 1988 just a single pair remained, successfully raising young at Santon Downham. The following year for the first time no nests were recorded in the UK. But since then sporadic breeding has taken place, mostly in Scotland and Wales. In September 2010 the RSPB announced that a pair had raised chicks at a secret location on Dartmoor where the bird last bred in 1970. In 2011, two pairs nested in the same locality, fledging seven young. In 2012 there was another breeding attempt, this time unsuccessful, probably due to a prolonged spell of wet weather. In 2013 breeding was again confirmed in Devon, with two young fledged at a new site.
This return to south western England has been an unexpected development and has raised speculation that a warming climate could assist the bird in re-colonising some of its former haunts, if only in small numbers.

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

Although I wasn't in Mexico with the intention of making a lot of bird photographs, I saw some nice species that I didn't know before.
And although I missed my Sony A4 camera, the A65 with a 200 mm lens and 2x converter helped me from time to time to make a decent picture of the birds around.
On one of my last days I saw this rufous-backed thrush, clearly belonging to the robin family, with a wonderful feather pattern.

Nature is conquering back its space with plants that are rampantly overgrowing the modern age. In the background you can see a third bicycle which is almost covered by plants.

Nature takes its course.
The Precursors of Spring have returned.
Storks usually migrate back from their winter quarters in Spain, the Mediterranean and North Africa in March.
There are more and more white storks in Baden-Württemberg - also because many stop taking the dangerous trip to Africa in winter.
Here in Germany’s southwest -as well as in the nearby Alsace (France)-
storks have always been celebrated as good-luck symbols, heraldic coat of arms motifs, all-around fabulous creatures, certainly much more than just quaint and interesting flying beasts.
Due to COVID-19, the borders between Germany and France are closed...
I live very close to the Alsace region I like so very much.
The Southern Alsace is heavily hit by the Pandemic too,
Sending my best wishes to our neighbours.
Prenez soin de vous, tous mes amis français ♥
Fact is, for centuries, people have felt fortunate to have storks nesting on their roofs. At that time people believed that they protect the house from fire, lightning and other natural and even man-made disasters. Storks tend to return to the same nesting place often with the same partner, year after year!

Many thanks for your kind visit, dear friends.
Take care, stay healthy everyone.

Hey everyone! I'm excited to finally announce I'm back. I'll be having time to log on again, less than before I started the new job but still more than the almost never from the last 5 months, and I'll be back on Flickr too since my office will be complete some time next week. I'm so excited to catch up on all your photostreams and share with you some new shots I'm working in a new moody kind of series I'm making. I'm really excited to create again, and I've missed all of you a ton! Look forward to seeing you all around again, I'll catch up on all your streams over the next month, but for now I just wanted to say I'm back and I've missed ya!

Back to Black
Song by Amy Winehouse:
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed
From all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny
Rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black
Black, black
Black, black
Black
I go back to
I go back to
It might be dark and dingy in the back alley but behind the closed doors. The heart beat of the best of the best musicians and artists perform not for fame or fortune but for the sheer glory of expressing their talent.
I was in my car at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge when this bison suddenly warned me (and the other cars around me) to back off. He then turned and ran away (and he and the other bison around him put on quite a show of running and bounding. I've been to this same location many times and cars routinely get closer than I was to the bison - generally with no reaction at all. A good reminder to always be careful about keeping your distance!

A Magpie in a Eucalyptus tree, Moonshine Park, New Zealand. Between 1864 and 1874 1,000 birds were brought over from south-eastern Australia and released across New Zealand in order to help control insect pests. The Australian Magpies are not related to the Magpies in the rest of the world. Now common across rural New Zealand and also suburban areas with pine trees, macrocarpa and eucalypts. The Magpie is a strongly territorial bird and during the nesting season they have been known to dive-bomb cyclists or pedestrians who stray too close to a nest. I have come to know these birds in Moonshine Park and they allow me to pass them on top of the stopbank at close quarter.
