Black Kite
Scientific Name: Milvus migrans
Description: The Black Kite is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey). From a distance, it appears almost black, with a light brown bar on the shoulder. The plumage is actually dark brown, with scattered light brown and rufous markings, particularly on the head, neck and underparts. The tail is forked and barred with darker brown. This feature gives the bird its alternative name of Fork-tailed Kite. The eye is dark brown and the bill is black with a yellow cere (area of skin around the nostrils). Both sexes are similar. Young Black Kites are generally lighter in colour than the adults, and have a comparatively shallower forked tail.
Similar species: The Black Kite's plumage is similar to other raptors (birds of prey), such as the Little Eagle, Hieraaetus morphnoides, Whistling Kite,Haliastur sphenurus, and Square-tailed Kite, Lophoictinia isura. In flight, however, its long forked tail and almost unmarked underwing make it unmistakable.
Distribution: The Black Kite's range covers the majority of the Australian mainland, as well as Africa, Asia and Europe. The Black Kite is arguably the most numerous species of raptor in the world.
Habitat: The Black Kite is found in a variety of habitats, from timbered watercourses to open plains, and is often observed in and around outback towns. Although it is more normally seen in small groups, the Black Kite may form huge flocks of many thousands of birds, especially during grasshopper plagues. No other Australian bird of prey is seen in such large flocks.
Feeding: The Black Kite preys on lizards, small mammals and insects, especially grasshoppers. It also is a scavenger, and frequents tips in outback towns. Black Kites also gather in flocks around bush fires, and eagerly pounce on small animals as these flee the flames. Both live and dead (carrion) prey is eaten.
Breeding: Black Kites nest in isolated pairs or in small, scattered colonies. As with other raptors, a ritualised aerial courtship display is performed by both sexes. This involves loud calling, grappling of feet (talons), and tumbling or cartwheeling. The nest is a bulky cup of sticks, lined with softer material, and is placed in the fork of a tree branch (generally close to the trunk). The female incubates the eggs while the male provides food.
Calls: The call is a descending whistle "psee-err" followed by a staccato "si-si-si-si-si".
Maximum Size: 55cm
Average size: 51cm
Average weight: 540g
Breeding season: Usually August and November; can breed at any time
Clutch Size: One to three.
Incubation: 28 days
Nestling Period: 40 days

Willie Wagtail - one of two taking turns to sit on the nest.
Scientific Name: Rhipidura leucophrys
Description: The Willie Wagtail is the largest, and most well-known, of the Australian fantails. The plumage is black above with a white belly. The Willie Wagtail can be distinguished from other similar-sized black and white birds by its black throat and white eyebrows and whisker marks. The name wagtail stems from the constant sideways wagging of the tail. Young birds resemble the adults, but have paler, slightly rusty edges to the feathers of the wings.
Distribution: The Willie Wagtail is found throughout mainland Australia but is absent from Tasmania. It is also found in New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Moluccas. The Willie Wagtail is often found in the company of cattle and sheep. They either run behind the moving animal snatching insects as they are disturbed, or sit on the animal's back, darting off to capture a flying insect and then returning to its mobile perch.
Habitat: Willie Wagtails are found in most open habitats, especially open forests and woodlands, tending to be absent from wet sclerophyll forests and rainforests. They are often associated with water-courses and wetlands and are common around human habitation.
Seasonal movements: Although usually seen singly or in pairs, it may form winter flocks, often mixed with other species.
Feeding: Willie Wagtails are active feeders. Birds can be seen darting around lawns as they hunt for insects on the ground. As they do so, the tail is wagged from side to side. Insects are also captured in the air, in active chases.
Breeding: The Willie Wagtail's nest is a neatly woven cup of grasses, covered with spider's web on the outside and lined internally with soft grasses, hair or fur. The soft lining of the nest, if not readily available, is often taken directly from an animal. The nest of the Willie Wagtail may be re-used in successive years, or an old nest is often destroyed and the materials used in the construction of a new nest. Nests are normally placed on a horizontal branch of a tree, or other similar structure. The cream-coloured eggs, speckled with grey and brown are incubated by both sexes. The young birds stay with the parents until the eggs from the next clutch start to hatch. At this point they are driven away. If conditions are favourable, the couple may raise up to four successive clutches in a single season.
Calls: The Willie Wagtail's call is well-known, often being uttered constantly throughout the night, and is interpreted as "sweet-pretty-creature", though other calls involve more scolding and chattering notes.
Minimum Size: 18cm
Maximum Size: 22cm
Average size: 20cm
Average weight: 20g
Breeding season: mainly August to February; can nest all year round.
Clutch Size: Three.
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

After reading your comments I now need to watch Pans Labyrinth!!
Thank you for the poem Trans-ition!
The Rainbow Bridge
A child
Dancing on the path
Above the shore line
Appears not to see the rainbow bridge
Like a miracle
Thrusting out
Across the abyss
To the distant shore
And onwards
To the Sun
Its source
It has appeared so suddenly mysteriously
Out from under the terrible glare
Of the silver -sun's-shimmering
It is blue
Soft - silver
Purple
Revealing
So briefly
The pathway opening to a future
More ephemeral
More magical
Than any rainbow
Ever stationed in the sky.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You did not come again today
As the spring Sun was sinking
Today
No magic
No miracle
Just a golden glow a-shimmering
A Line of light upon the waters
This one I could not ride
Like Merlin's Dragon breath
Into the reality of dreams
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

Ingredients.
Spring out of a Ball point pen
Fake Flower
Bowl of Water
Syringe with needle -- To place the water droplets
Third Hand tool. - To hold the spring and flower
Bare Flash either side flagged to the background only
The lighting took some getting right to not have any specular highlights in the droplets.
The flower is half submerged in the water. The spring is rising up out of the water and the Flower can be seen as a reflection and a refraction and the refracted flower in the droplets can be seen in the reflection... When Art and Science meet Love.
I like making them.
All of my heart went into making this art.
Have a nice day
