HAPPY FENCED FRIDAY!
I could not resist adding a second* off-beat fence photo today. Yet again, the administrators of both Fences and Fenced Friday will have to decide if my photo shows a fence or not.
In any case, this is obviously not your ordinary chain link fence. However, it is highly effective at fencing when it comes to our dog, Stella. She is hyper-short but highly active and often runs under the lower wires or slats of fences to explore what is on the other side. Not in this case. We often pass this "fence" but she never either goes under the chain or jumps over it. Why? You will have to ask Stella. Judging by function, this is, at minimum, a Stella Fence.

This is the detail of a hand-made silver-toned chain which has been in the bottom of my jewelry box for forever. I think it once belonged to my sister. It's an interesting 60s era style, but not very comfortable to wear, and not real silver (as you can see from the bits of rust and patina). It was great to give it a bit of purpose for this theme!

These chains were used to slow down the launch of the SS Great Eastern into the Thames. It had to be launched sideways so it didn't embed itself in the opposite bank, being longer than the river is wide
HFF!

It seems the Goldfinches are back again! There were quite a few checking out the feeders today. I'm guessing the cold weather is what made them head our way?
This one has one foot clinging to the chain of this feeder, while it perched for a few minutes enjoying the pepper treated sunflower meats. You can see one of the Goodie Cups on the ground in the background
Sitting at a different window today from yesterday, gave me a different vantage point, so today this little feeder was the closest one to me. Maybe I didn't need to zoom in so close? LOL!

The eastern great egret (Ardea alba modesta), a white heron in the genus Ardea, is usually considered a subspecies of the great egret (A. alba). In New Zealand it is known as the white heron or by its Māori name kōtuku. Measuring 83–103 cm in length and weighing 0.7–1.2 kg, the eastern great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Its bill is black in the breeding season and yellow at other times, and its long legs are red or black. The colours of the bare parts of the face change to green during the breeding season. The breeding plumage is also marked by long neck plumes and a green facial area. The eastern great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets and herons in Asia and Australia by its very long neck, one and a half times as long as its own body. The eastern great egret has a wide distribution throughout Asia and Oceania, with breeding populations in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Nepal, India, Indochina, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Russia (north-eastern), Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The egret breeds across Australia but only rarely in the southwest of the continent or dry interior. The largest colonies within Australia are in the Top End and Channel Country, which can number several thousand pairs. Colonies in the southeast of Australia can number several hundred pairs. The bird is an uncommon autumn and winter visitor to Tasmania. The diet includes vertebrates such as fish, frogs, small reptiles, small birds and rodents, and invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, and molluscs. The eastern great egret hunts by wading or standing still in shallow water and spearing prey with its bill. The eastern great egret often breeds in colonies with other herons, egrets, cormorants, spoonbills and ibises. One brood is raised a year, although the breeding season varies within Australia. In the north of the country it is in March to May, in southern and central Queensland December and January, and October to December in the south. Located atop trees at a height of 20 m or more, the nest is a flat wide platform of dry branches and sticks with a shallow basin for eggs and young. The clutch consists of anywhere from two to six pale blue-green eggs, with three or four being the usual number. They are oval in shape and measure 52 x 36 mm. The subspecies is protected in Australia. 41804
in this 2006 view ,the original chain bridge over the river dee forms the foreground as pannier 6430 waits at Berwyn with an auto train--in more recent times the chain bridge has been dismantled and fully rebuilt--the date on my old d50 must have been incorrectly set , as that foliage looks more like april than february
