I did not have the GPS module fitted for this shot, so the location within the Beagle Channel is approximate.
The first street photographer and inspiration I found on flickr. Bradford's work has likely inspired many. His charm is revealed in the set regarding the reaction of older women to him photographing them. big no said the little mama. While editing I saw my subject's raised eye brow, better than I have ever seen and her glare, hidden by her dark eyes and the cloudy day. Be assured, she was not feelin the love! I immediately thought - Big No! So a big thanks to all who have helped and supported me, none more than Bradford!

I have just returned from a four day camp at Gluepot with a large group of bird photographers from the BirdLife Photography Group. This is the first of a few shots worth posting!
It is not breeding season so I am not sure why the birds were collecting feathers; perhaps to line their night roosting nests.
One of the many Yellow-browed Warblers that made land fall in Ireland during October. The reasoning behind the name speaks for itself. The species is found in the Siberian taiga and during migration time, Ireland will host small numbers for a time during September and October. Steve Wing, the warden on Cape Clear Island, traps and puts rings on the legs of many passerines that move through the island, in the hope that some light can be shed on their movements.

The chalk-browed mockingbird (Mimus saturninus) is a bird found in most of Brazil, and parts of Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, and Suriname. It's a bird of open wooded areas, including urban and suburban gardens. It feeds on fruits, insects and small vertebrates
There were lots of these little birds foraging around the forest floor and amongst the shrubbery at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat in Lamington National Park.

This shot clearly shows the white brow of the species, this brow is not as prominant on the female. This species is very common and found over most of eastern Australia.

Baleen: "A Whale of a Story: The Inupiaq of northern Alaska have hunted bowhead whates and collected baleen for hundrreds of years. Although called 'whale bone' by Westerners, baleen is a fibrous sieve-like material that grows on both sides of a plankton-eating whale's tongue and is made of the same material as hair, horn, and figernails. Prior to contact with Westerners, baleen was used to make items such as buckets, ice scoops, sled runner, lashings, fishing line, and nets. By 1875 and until modern plastics became available, Westerners used baleen to make things such as buggy whips, umbrella ribs, and corset stays for women. Inupiaq mostly from the villages of Barrow, Point Hope, and Wainwright, began to use baleen to make items for trade and sale to non-natives. Baleen was primarily used by male artists because baleen is a hard material and historically in their culture, only men used hard materials. These artists made items such as models and baskets. The first known baleen basket was made by an artist named Kinguktuk from Barrow, Alaska between 1914 and 1918 for a local resident named Charles Brower. Brower had asked Kinguktuk to copy a willow-root basket in baleen. Hunting bowhead whales remains an important part of the lives of many Inupiaq and artists continue to use baleen in new and innovative ways."~display at Denver Art Museum.

The white-browed wagtail or large pied wagtail (Motacilla maderaspatensis) is a medium-sized bird and is the largest member of the wagtail family. They are conspicuously patterned with black above and white below, a prominent white brow, shoulder stripe and outer tail feathers. They are common in small water bodies and have adapted to urban environments where they often nest on roof tops. The specific name is derived from the Indian city of Madras (now Chennai).
The white-browed wagtail is the largest species of wagtail at 21 cm length. It is a slender bird, with the characteristic long, constantly wagging tail of its genus. It has black upperparts, head and breast, with a white supercilium and large white wingbar. Unlike white wagtails it never has white on the forehead. The rest of the underparts are white. The female has the black less intense than in the male. Juveniles are like the females brown-grey where the adult is black.
The white-browed wagtail is a resident breeder in India and is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. It is found south of the Himalayas, east of the Indus system and to the west of Bangladesh. It is rare in the higher altitude regions but has been seen in Ladakh on the edge of the Tibetan plateau.[8] In most of India it is found below 1000 m but in southern India it goes up into the hills up to 2200 m. It is very rare in the Indus valley area.[9] It is absent from the Sind region of Pakistan. It is found in open freshwater wetland habitats. It is one of the few Motacilla wagtails that has adapted well to urban habitats and is often found perched on overhead water storages in residential buildings.
It is a rare winter visitor to Sri Lanka and have possibly extended their range in recent times.
In older times in India, the species was sometimes kept as a cage-bird and was acclaimed for its singing ability. The native name of khanjan is used in the phrase "khanjan-eyed" to describe someone with beautiful eyes. Another local name for wagtails in India is dhobin (or washerwoman).
