I took a walk through Shepherds Bush late this afternoon. These were out in force. And this one skipped briefly through a narrow shaft of sunlight that fell on this branch. Was in that position for about 1/4 second, and, somehow, my shutter click coincided. Happy. (This is cropped; otherwise straight from camera).
The 1 in 132 gradient at Eden Brows ensures that Stanier 'Jubilee' 45699 'Galatea' works for its keep with its 11 coach trailing load and dead weight of a class 47, the 1Z84 16:31 Carlisle to Finsbury Park 'Cathedrals Express' on Tuesday 26 August 2014, scheduled to arrive at its destination at 00:59! The temporary speed restriction that was in place here for at least two years, has now been lifted, making the location another attractive option at long last. Thanks are due to Ian Cawthorne (The Talkin Lens) for reminding me of this fact with his image of 'The Waverley' taken on the previous Sunday.

Gee Cross, Hyde.
Locally "brow" is often pronounced like "brew" but I think this is becoming less common.
Like most Coucals this tends to be a rather shy skulking species though with a bit of patience it is usually possible to get a good view.
This is the default Coucal species of East Africa.

The White-browed Wagtail or Large Pied Wagtail (Motacilla maderaspatensis) is a medium-sized bird and is the largest member of the wagtail family.
Another from a brief local birding session just down the road from home.
Plenty of flowering shrubs and bushes for these little guys to play around and feed in - but tough to get a clear shot on them as they're so flighty and the bushes fairly densely bunched together!!
Hope you like this!
Hope your weekend was great and this week is just as good!!

The Black-browed Albatross currently (May 2022) resident on the cliffs at RSPB Bempton at Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire. Normally, this species of albatross would be found in the South Atlantic Ocean but this one appears to favour the Yorkshire coast as this is the second year it has spent the summer here, along with many thousands of Gannet, Razorbill, Guillemot, Puffin and other seabirds.
