Ospreys such as this one are unique among North American raptors for their ability to dive into water to catch fish, which is their primary food source. And they are very good at it. "Over several studies, Ospreys caught fish on at least 1 in every 4 dives, with success rates sometimes as high as 70 percent," according to AllAboutBirds.org. This bird was photographed near the Fox River in Northern Illinois.

A White Ibis catch with what appears to me to be a small crab. As travel to Florida is not an option at this time, I am glad that I still have photos from previous trips that I can post to mix things up on my stream. Taken in Southwest Florida.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Kingfisher catching a common minnow.
The light circumstances weren't perfect at all, reason why I'm more than content with only 1/640 of shutterspeed.
Very Large Catch.
Eagle at Bombay Hook NWR with a fish that was too large for it to lift. So it was dragging it towards the shore until another eagle tried to steal it and the fish escaped.

A few minutes after returning from the previous catch, the Osprey pulls out a bigger prize to deliver to the hungry family.
Not a common visitor to the north of Scotland, we had the delight of four Peacock butterflies flying round our lavender bushes this week.
Forgive the poor focus … but they were swinging on the lavender stalks and chasing each other! I took as many shots as I could .. and have pasted these three together.
We've seen a sad decline in butterflies in recent years, so this was an additional pleasure!
Happy Bokeh Wednesday 😊
and Happy Wing Wednesday too!

Explore Dec 1/07 American Robin. The robins and starlings are weather forecasters. When a cold spell or snow is within two days they clean out the red berries from the tree and bushes next to my house. Taken in very dim light through a window. IMG_7383
