Taken my wildlife photography to more of a macro level today on this Common Flesh Fly. This is 17 images focus stacked. Not perfect by any means, but I'm pleased for a first attempt. Mainly pleased the fly stayed still for 17 images.

I had never seen one of these birds before - had to look it up when I got home. There were 6-8 of them flying over the Fox River just south of the bridge at Rt. 38. Boy were they fast - and their flight is so erratic. I was afraid I wouldn't have any shots that weren't totally blurry. Cool bird!

Common Frog - Garden, Essex. Presumably this years batch of spawn about the size of the top section of my thumb. Came across at least a dozen whilst getting on top of the gardening again!
The common hawk-cuckoo (Hierococcyx varius), popularly known as the brainfever bird, is a medium-sized cuckoo resident in the Indian subcontinent. It bears a close resemblance to the Shikra, even in its style of flying and landing on a perch. The resemblance to hawks gives this group the generic name of hawk-cuckoo and like many other cuckoos these are brood parasites, laying their eggs in nests of babblers. During their breeding season in summer males produce loud, repetitive three note calls that are well-rendered as brain-fever, the second note being longer and higher pitched. These notes rise to a crescendo before ending abruptly and repeat after a few minutes; the calling may go on through the day, well after dusk and before dawn.
The common hawk-cuckoo is a medium- to large-sized cuckoo, about the size of a pigeon (ca. 34 cm). The plumage is ashy grey above; whitish below, cross-barred with brown. The tail is broadly barred. The sexes are alike. They have a distinctive yellow eye ring. Subadults have the breast streaked, similar to the immature shikra, and there are large brown chevron marks on the belly.At first glance they can be mistaken for a hawk. When flying they use a flap and glide style that resembles that of sparrowhawks (especially the shikra) and flying upwards and landing on a perch they shake their tails from side to side. Many small birds and squirrels raise the alarm just as they would in the presence of a hawk. The sexes are alike but males tend to be larger.
They can be confused with the large hawk-cuckoo, which, however, has dark streaks on the throat and breast. Young birds have a pale chin but young large hawk-cuckoos have a black chin.
More from Langholm Common Riding last Friday. This chap must have been roasting in his lovely horse and jockey outfit - I'm told that he did gallup up the Kirk Wynd later on.

This Common Buckeye is an uncommon sight in Northern Illinois in November. Maybe 2020 just did this one in and it didn't feel up to flying South this year.

Three large murals photographed together during Rochdale's "Common Walls" open air gallery project. All murals were painted by world class mural artists, (23 in total).
For more information on these three murals, I have photographed them individually. "The Rochdale Hounds", "Bent Not Broken" and "Suriya Begum" follow on from this one on the next three photo's.....

You are invited to go WILD on Smithsonian's interactive website, Smithsonian WILD, to learn more about the research and browse photos like this from around the world.
Common Ravens look black, but when seen up close, which doesn't usually happen, you can see the variety of colours in those beautiful feathers. This was a slightly scruffy Raven that was hanging around one of the parking lots along the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River (North Rim?), no doubt hoping to find some easy food. Taken on 14 September 2012, during my week's holiday down as far as Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons.
"Common Ravens will eat almost anything they can get hold of. They eat carrion; small animals from the size of mice and baby tortoises up to adult Rock Pigeons and nestling Great Blue Herons; eggs; grasshoppers, beetles, scorpions, and other arthropods; fish; wolf and sled-dog dung; grains, buds, and berries; pet food; and many types of human food including unattended picnic items and garbage."
