Bar-headed geese: Highest bird migration tracked. A tracking study has revealed the secrets of the world's highest bird migration - the Himalayan flight of the bar-headed goose. The geese have been recorded at heights of more than 7,000m (23,000ft)

The bar-headed goose is one of the world's highest-flying birds, having been heard flying across Mount Makalu – the fifth highest mountain on earth at 8,481 m (27,825 ft) – and apparently seen over Mount Everest – 8,848 m (29,029 ft) – although this is a second-hand report with no verification. This demanding migration has long puzzled physiologists and naturalists: "there must be a good explanation for why the birds fly to the extreme altitudes... particularly since there are passes through the Himalaya at lower altitudes, and which are used by other migrating bird species." In fact, bar-headed geese have never been directly tracked (using GPS or satellite logging technology) flying higher than 6,540 metres (21,460 ft), and it is now believed that they do take the high passes through the mountains. The challenging northward migration from lowland India to breed in the summer on the Tibetan Plateau is undertaken in stages, with the flight across the Himalaya (from sea-level) being undertaken non-stop in as little as seven hours. Surprisingly, despite predictable tail winds that blow up the Himalayas (in the same direction of travel as the geese), bar-headed geese spurn these winds, waiting for them to die down overnight, when they then undertake the greatest rates of climbing flight ever recorded for a bird, and sustain these climbs rates for hours on end, according to research published in 2011.

Every time I look at this photo, I find something new wrong with it. I think that it turned out well enough, though, so I'll be happy with it -- for now.
Once again, don't know what type, but I suspect some type of pink camellia. The flower growing up between the bars has its own type of romanticism, doesn't it? Finding natural beauty in the midst of that which should be ugly and drab? No? It's just a picture of a flower?
Okay. It's a little crooked, too. Ignore that! Hey, don't check! It's fine, it's just . . . alright, I should have straightened it.
Bar-headed geese have to reach extreme heights when they migrate over the Himalayas. To be able to do this, the species is physiologically and biochemically adapted to flying at altitudes where oxygen levels and temperatures are both extremely low.

The bar is illuminated with red and purple
light. The bouquet of flowers on the right,
the wine racks and the bartender's sleeves
are the brightest in the scene. From the
ceiling hang three light objects, neon tubes
that emit a ghostly light. This gives the
whole scene an additional gloomy effect.

The bar headed goose has been generally seen flying above 6000m mark and also seen flying above mount Everest, its the third highest flying bird in the world with scaling around 9000m while flying

Bar-tailed Godwit
Having a snooze with its long beaked tucked in and one leg up.
Scientific name: Limosa lapponica
Nome Alaska - This Bar-tailed Godwit chose to nest close to a Long-tailed Jaegers nest so was able to get several flight shots as the two chased each other around.
I have a relative, in Canada, who's always recommending these, so decided to experiment. The recipe calls for Graham Crackers and the closest UK equivalent is digestive biscuits. I think the difference has thrown off the butter absorption, in the base. Recipe definitely needs tweaking!

A small flock of Bar-tailed Godwits were feeding in the shallows so I decided to get into the water & shoot back towards the beach. This male, identifiable by the shorter bill compared to his female counterpart, wandered by in between snacking on sandworms.
Here is a single capture taken at Bar Harbor Maine back in 2012 during our trip to New England. It was a stunning sunset. Below is an originally posted version, but I revisited this one with slightly warmer white balance as well as adding a gradient to the sky within Lightroom that allowed me to tweak down the highlights and up the shadows just a bit to make the clouds not as menacing ... I wanted to create a warm inviting atmosphere compared to the cooler original.
Eventually our walk lead us to the Fistral Beach Bar, where we stopped for a late breakfast! Lina often sits under our table, but here she actually had a lovely view, for a change!
We took Lina to the vet today for a check-up following the extraction of several of her teeth last week. Saffiya, the lovely vet told us she's doing well. Probably still slightly tender as the holes at the back of her gums were large, but she still has enough teeth left to eat her normal foods again soon.
I'm not an expert so welcome any better ID's ?
It was very aware of me and the moment I looked away it was gone!
