Of all the times I've been out to Gros Cap to shoot, for some reason I've never stopped at the marina. I'm glad I decided to today, because it was a calm evening with neat rain clouds, which made for some great shots. As a bonus, the rain even held off until I was packing up all my gear.

Whist trying to catch up with myself rather than not post anything thought I would continue with a few more images from Lyme
Taken from the town of Lyme Regis a view over to the Jurassic coastline looking towards the golden cap which is the highest point on the South coast.
Thanks for viewing and any comments.
Cap'n Fear getting an earful from Maggie. She wanted a picture with him, but he was none too keen to oblige after she told him that the Bucs suck compared to the Cowboys.
Actually the guy didn't want his picture taken. He kept sticking his hands up in front of my camera, or holding pieces of paper up to my lens. He could use a class from Ray from the Devil Rays on how to be a mascot. The DRays stink, and you know the mascot has to hear all about it, but Ray doesn't turn down a snapshot.

Spent a couple of days at one of my favourite shorebird spots in Victoria - the beautiful beaches of Killarney. As always, there were plenty of Red-capped Plovers hiding amongst the seaweed.
The red-capped parrot is a species of broad-tailed parrot native to southwest Western Australia. It was described by Heinrich Kuhl in 1820, with no subspecies recognised. Wikipedia
The male is a gaudy medium-sized parrot, dark green above with a red cap, lime green cheeks and rump, blue-purple breast and red underparts. The female is duller, with a greenish crown and cheeks and pale mauve underparts. Both have a distinctive long pale bill, with a long upper mandible, giving them the common name of Hookbill. They are known as King Parrots in WA. Their flight is undulating and fluttering. When disturbed, they will fly to the top of nearby trees and perch in a typical upright stance, calling loudly.

A Red-capped Plover plucks a sandworm from the wet sand along the shoreline. These birds use their sensitive feet & sharp eyesight to detect & catch sandworms as they move through the sand. I watched this female slowly tapping the sand with one foot before she plunged her bill into the sand & came up with this sandworm.

This male Red-capped Plover was not impressed when a rival male landed in his territory & sounded a stern warning.
I don't know anything about baseball so .....We have a line of baseball caps in the hall. We grab one when we are going outside and it's raining. Is it a macro? Not sure but I like it.
With winter getting closer, this and many other Chickadee's in the group are putting on the feedbag. I was fortunate enough to catch this one sitting still just long enough for a photo. The Chickadee has one of the most complex communication calls in the avian world and is certainly a pleasure to listen to.
