Raining, windy and cloudy, driving along the local highway, all of sudden appeared the double rainbow, I was shocked by the nature miracle… Stopped the car on the side of the road, luckily I had the wider lens on my camera, I could capture the whole double rainbow, I also could ran to the different views, the double rainbow seemed following me… it disappeared in about 10 minutes… My camera was soaked with rains…
Burger's Zoo Breedsnuitkaaiman
Kaaimannen en alligators zijn familie van krokodillen. De nauwste familie in het dierenrijk van kaaimannen, alligators en krokodillen waren echter de dinosaurussen!
Kaaimannen liggen vaak stil in het water. Ze wachten rustig af tot een prooidier dichtbij komt en slaan dan snel toe.
Het is een soort die ongeveer 3 meter lang kan worden. De naam is gekozen omdat zijn snuit breed en stomp is. De oren, de neusgaten en de ogen zitten bovenaan op de kop. Zo kunnen prooien makkelijk benaderd worden vanuit het water. Op de rug zitten benige randen die tot aan de staart lopen.
The Heron in the lead made the mistake of landing in a wide open area without knowing it was already the territory of the Heron in the rear, who arrived minutes later. The chase was back and forth for about 30 seconds before the first bird gave up and left. View large.

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

A very late entry for the Smile on Saturday theme of capture the time. Sorry it is not the most creative of shots but ran out of time and ideas!
the crowned eagle (stephanoetus coronatus) is a lifer sighting.
to find a couple is a real privilege.
for years I was haunted by the dream to meet the most powerful african eagle.
a bit smaller than martial eagle is considered stronger and surely more aggressive than the savannah cousin.
crowned eagles are now rare and always elusive.they stay usually hidden and hunt in the forest like a huge goshawk.those raptors prey mainly on mammals of medium /big size (till small antelopes of 30/40kgs) ,monitors and sometimes big birds but....they are specialized on monkeys.monkeys have pratically 4 hands with opposable fingers and it means they can damage the vital feathers of the predator before to die.
this is why the crowned eagle is equipped with incomparable weapons.
two opposable talons are very big and large.the eagles use it to pierce the skull of the prey to kill it instantly.
crowned eagles are famous to be also cooperative hunters, this is why my title ,"double trouble".
shot at big distance,bad light(almost backlight) ,duplicator and high iso.....next time will be better:-)

Their bright orange head and bill make them a standout among other ducks. We were so excited to photograph two at once. The Common Merganser is a fish-eating duck that rides low in the water on freshwater lakes and rivers. The female Common Merganser has a solid gray body with a reddish-brown head. She has a narrow, red, serrate bill and white chin-patch at the base of the lower mandible.
