Avec ses 13 000 hectares, la forêt domaniale de Retz dans l’Aisne est l’une des plus grandes de France, et la première hêtraie. Sillonnée par 60 kilomètres de routes forestières et 560 kilomètres de laies et chemins forestiers
A small and shy resident goose of the Indian subcontinent, found throughout the year in freshwater lakes and ponds. They are social birds and always seen in groups of 4 to 6 or more.
The birds are visibly smaller than the other ducks such as Whistling teals and the Spot Billed Ducks found in our region. I love to shoot them in flight, but they fly fast and are quite wary of humans.
Shot them near a lake full of Jacana's and Coots. These goose stayed for a while and then flew away far from human activity..
Many thanks for all your views, likes and feedback. Much appreciated.
The succulent Kalanchoe species, popularly known as flower-of-fortune (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana), is super easy to care for. This is because it is resistant to climatic variations, does not need constant irrigation and has excellent adaptation to indoor and outdoor environments. In addition, in the same species there are variations such as the cat's ear (Kalanchoe tomentosa), the mother of thousands (Kalanchoe laetivirens), among others.
When the flowers are simple they are called Kalanchoe.
And when the flowers are folded (multiple petals) Calandivas.
We need to encourage more bees in to our gardens! All it takes is to plant more bee loving flowers in our garden, like Cerinthe, which i am told by the bees is a favourite of theirs :)

A resident Leafbird that is found in forest areas around the country. The pair have a golden patch on their foreheads from which they get their name and are easily recognized by their colors and song. The distinctive colors provide perfect camouflage in the forest canopy and especially during the post rainy season when the trees are lush. They are active birds, often sighted moving around the canopies throughout the day and usually found alone or in pairs rather than large flocks.
These birds are also known for their the acrobatic skills often seen hanging upside down to reach nectar from blossoms or hunting insects from the undersides of leaves. Their diet is mainly nectar, berries, and small insects.
Beyond their color / beauty, they are also known for their vocal mimicry often imitating the calls of other birds, such as drongos or bulbuls.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

Welcome to to the beach, a haven for dog walkers and coffee drinkers. A special congratulations on picking up your dog mess, only to lob it into the dunes and leave it in a bag for the next hundred years. Shame on you........
These days things are too quiet. Much of the city is in near lockdown - as is our gated community. The weather in the mornings is quite hot and from noon light is quite poor and often rains unpredictably.
But I still stepped out to shoot something - found some spotted owlets way too far. And this Red-Vented Bulbul is the only thing I found exciting during the evening that I managed to get a shot of!
As always, too many of them around and some consider them as pest in our region.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Many people associate lions with the grasslands of the Masai Mara or Serengeti. While those areas are great for seeing lions, there are also other environments where they can be seen. This image was captured in the Chobe National Park, Botswana during an extended drought in August 24.

Another species of the pipit and one that is widespread in the Central and Western Parts of India. They are a tad larger than the 3-4 species we get here in my state.
This is a bird of open habitat and generally prefers rocky hillsides, desert regions / areas with some scrub or woodland. While the longer beak is a pointer to the id, getting pipits id right is a big challenge since the differences are quite subtle. I took several shots of the bird and could id only in the computer after downloading.
In the desert, these were very common and we found these and Tawny pipit in good numbers. Surprisingly, this bird had several sightings in my home state down South last year far away from its range.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
The sun sets on an old East London boozer, a metaphor for the inept government /Covid-19 crisis and the fact that many of these old gems will never re-open.
Bloody wheelie bins, and the pub is off the vertical, not me !

This Red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) was exploring all the trees. This was along the trail at the Springfield Nature Center on a very hot afternoon.

This is another shot of the egret I chased all over the place. I do think he enjoyed the "game" of playing tag with a human. And I was a sucker to go along with it. But little does he know, I got a pretty cool shot out of the deal. I just love this one of him perched and looking quite comfy in his natural environment.
Hope your week is going well. I am off work the rest of the week and plan to enjoy a nice long weekend in my natural environment......lol. Cheers :-)
This prairie in the Everglades National Park show startling foliage that contrasts with the barren environment giving it an other worldly feel.

An urban scene from the streets of Glasgow, Scotland in September 2019.
This is our environment, our world, our home - and this is how we treat it.
Hand on heart, how many of us can say that we have never dropped litter?
How many have considered that little bits of plastic, including cigarette butts with plastic filters, wash away from our environment down rivers and into the seas? If you eat fish and sea food you are eating plastic.
Sadly our industries are, for the most part, more carefree with their waste than we are as individuals.
If we can't care for our immediate environment then we cannot care for our wider world.
I have been out voluntarily picking litter at least once a week for the past six months or so. Mostly on a cycle path nearby but sometimes along the shoreline too. I actually put my back out for a couple of weeks removing 26 empty vodka bottles from under a single bush! No I am not expecting everyone to go out and pick litter, just to think a bit more about the environment in which they live. What could be done to make it nicer, cleaner and a happier place to be. The inverse of the broken window theory has to be true.
Take care my Flickr friends.
ps. yes that pink bundle is a sleeping bag back there.
