bullfinch ~ pyrrhula pyrrhula (male)
RSPB Amber status list.
Bullfinches are gathering together in pairs now. If I see one it's mate is usually close by.The males are beginning to look good now.
Cotton Tree in Chinese has another name, the Hero Tree.
In Chinese culture, hero is usually matched with a beautiful woman. In Chinese, they call it "英雄配美人".
Please check out another shot for the lady:
Loved this one with the colorful bokeh background. The zinnias last a long time once they start blooming, so I have a lot of practice time . Sometimes it takes a lot of pictures to find the one you really like and enjoy.

...but a devastatingly painful bite!
The greenhead horsefly is a regular beach nuisance. Only the females bite, as they seek out blood protein to fortify themselves for the rigors of mating and laying eggs.
They use those two white scissor-like blades to hack away at your flesh. Then once they have a pool of blood formed, they lap it up.

very unhappy that Fujifilm decided to discontinue this FP-100c film but I hope I put it to good use here with the few remaining packs I have
Popped into the rough ground at the end of my road this evening, on the off chance there might be something interesting - and found my first beautiful demoiselles of the year!
Beautiful Speightstown, Barbados.
Speightstown was formally settled around 1630 and in the earliest days of Settlement was Barbados's busiest port. Ships laden with sugar and other commodities left Speightstown bound directly for London and especially Bristol. For this reason Speightstown is sometimes known as Little Bristol. The quaint town has now become the centre of a tourist area as well as a secondary shopping centre.
The area of Speightstown was the first major port and commercial centre of Barbados. The city is named after William Speight, a member of Barbados' first Assembly during the colonial years as well as the former land owner where the city is located. It has a long and colorful history reaching back to the 17th century when it served as one of the main ports connecting the island with the “mother country,” England. Back then Speightstown was sometimes called “Little Bristol” because of these trading connections with Bristol in England. This little village was the port that Ayscue could not take, when dispatched by Cromwell to quell the insurrection in Barbados in 1649. The Barbadians were loyal to Charles I, and would not accept Oliver Cromwell as their protector. For six months Ayscue was unable to land in Barbados, and concentrated attacks on Speightstown were repelled by the small forts along the shore.
The tiny island was landed only with the help of a defector who led Ayscue and his men to land at Oistins Town where they met with representatives of the island and signed what has become known as the "Charter of Barbados". Signed in 1652, the agreement gave Barbados rights and privileges unheard of in any other Island. In particular it guaranteed that Barbados could not be taxed without the consent of a Barbados General Assembly.

I have just returned from my overseas trip to the US, and finally get a chance to look at my photos! (even though slightly jet lagged). This is from the Yosemite Valley, and is beautiful at sunset when the sun lights up rock faces and you can watch the shadows get larger and larger. I met a great guy called Matt here. Half an hour earlier there were clouds in the sky which we watched slowly disappear!
