EVERYBODY Wants to Rule the World

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

 

Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while WE sleep

We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour

Turn your back on mother nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

 

It's my own design

It's my own remorse

Help me to decide

Help ME make the most

Of freedom and of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

i like the feet detail visible in this shot

This black heron has adapted to a very unique feeding behaviour making use of its wings to form a canopy, its flight feathers are particularly broad and shaped to help form the closed canopy. The erected nape plumes also help complete the canopy. Its distinctively coloured feet are similar to other herons/egrets, but interestingly, unlike many other species, the black heron’s legs do not change colour in the breeding season, suggesting that dark legs are important in the functioning of the canopy behaviour. The ability of the species to adequately catch fish in shallow open water using its unique shadow-casting behaviour is just short of amazing.

 

Although it’s not perfectly clear why the black heron uses this specific technique, scientists hypothesize that it has several advantages, like reducing glare and attracting the fish into a trap with the fish falsely believing its a safe place to hide in the shade. And because the shade gives the bird a better view of its victim, it can easily snatch it out of the water with its long beak. The black heron is definitely one of the sneakiest predators in the animal realm.

 

Watching with amazement and wondering how he or she can do the same is the glossy ibis.

This lagoon was always a hive of activity while we were at this camp, so many species of birds at all times to entertain between safari outings.

 

They are also known as Cobra Chickens, Viper Chickens or of course as their name many know them by - Canada Geese. They are nasty with one another especially if they try to invade the space of others.

I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.

Badger follows Coyote through a prairie dog town. Badger isn't as close as he looks; the telephoto has compressed the distance between them. I've observed this behaviour on three occasions, although not yet at close range. These two species have a long history of tandem hunting (I think "co-operative" hunting would be too presumptive).

 

I discussed this with a biologist friend a few years ago. He told me that he had seen a badger nab a prairie dog this way, twice. He thought that perhaps the prairie dogs became aware of a predator coyote in their midst and were thinking "coyote" and looking for a taller profile. Badger came in lower and surprised them.

 

For Coyote to tolerate another species this way, he must derive some benefit (beyond entertainment value), I suspect. Looking at their respective abilities, Coyote is quick and agile, capable of a lightning fast response if he catches a prairie dog too far from the safety of its burrow. Badger, on the other hand, is the supreme digger: I've watched badgers digging at both the main entrance and backdoor escape exit of a prairie dog burrow, rushing back and forth between the two, clearly trying to frighten the rodents into panicking and making a mistake. I can imagine Coyote as the opportunist here, hanging around to snap up a panicked prairie dog. But I haven't seen this. Yet.

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

I was met with in an accident and leg was fractured. A plate was fixed in my leg. With this, I went to Sankagiri Fort, near Salem, Tamil Nadu, India with my friend and I was not able to walk for long distance and due to pain, I laid down on the way under a tree. Then, around 10 monkeys came near the tree and I was waiting for a good shot with my camera. Suddenly, a monkey took newspaper and while laying down, I shot this photo which I feel is the gift given by God.

I also thank my friend at this moment who was with me at that time. Date :- 11-03-2018 - Timing - 15:17 pm

One of the major reasons why we need to work towards protecting the environment is because it helps to protect humanity. If we didn’t have our environment, then we wouldn’t have a place to live or resources to live.it is our moral obligation to do so. As a human who lives on earth, it is our responsibility to make sure that it is protected. We must give back to the future generation that what we have received and enjoying. Give them an environment that isn’t damaged and teach them how to continue living sustainably. I request all good souls to plant Banyan tree while making tree plantation. It will have a long lasting effect for mankind and go a long way in carry forwarding the nature to the next generation and will also give fruits useful for birds. Instagram Id : @nagendran_c4777. Planting of trees in a special occasion such as Birthday Wedding etc is a excellent gesture. It can be done in memory of our Parents, Teachers, Friends and also people who comes across in our life such as Doctors Nurses and health staff for their noble service to the society.

Parent Lapwing offering a safe place for one of it's chicks.

These four common loons enchanted me with an upclose look at them and their behaviour.

Immediately after copulation, the male drifted away while the female compulsively used her bill and neck to spoon water over herself, a process that lasted a coupl of minutes at least.

A few shots to test a new lens.
