And he was successful. Seconds later, he caught a Zitting Cisticola for a meal. This is a migratory raptor from Central Asia that come in large numbers during winters to India. They can be commonly seen across the countryside and mostly in grasslands where they roost communally.
We sighted one on this fence preening and he spent around 5 minutes cleaning himself up. Then suddenly he dived flew behind the vehicle and landed in a far away field. He had a Zitting Cisticola, a small warbler in his claws which he finished pretty quickly.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own, that they must protect them.

This beautiful waterfall was our destination after an hour-long ramble in the Whirinaki. A gorgeous spot to stop and have some lunch and play with the camera - a shower cap worked a treat on the lens to keep the water spray at a minimum.
Amazingly we saw no one else on this track both ways - just us and the native birds including a good number of Kaka which was great to see in a totally natural environment.

I would certainly never dare say of myself I’m this or that specifically. The only thing I can say is that I’m trying to understand the world through photography. I’m just one more photographer doing a testimony of my times :-)

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 :)

It is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the 'pigeon'. The domestic pigeon descended from this species. Escaped domestic pigeons have raised the populations of feral pigeons around the world. Wild rock doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, whereas domestic and feral pigeons vary in colour and pattern. Few differences are seen between males and females. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of 17 to 28 million feral and wild birds in Europe alone. 15770

The Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) is a very large owl, documented as the world's largest species of owl by length. It is distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, and it is the only species in the Strix (genus) found in both Eastern and Western Hemispheres. In some areas it is also called Phantom of the North, Cinereous Owl, Spectral Owl, Lapland Owl, Spruce Owl, Bearded Owl, and Sooty Owl.

Giornata internazionale dell'ambiente
Ho scelto questa bottiglia di plastica buttata negligentemente in acqua per denuncia:
sono tante le "piccole" cose che ognuno di noi può fare per l'ambiente.
Non possiamo chiedere ai governi di fare qualcosa per il futuro del nostro pianeta se poi noi per primi ci comportiamo male ...

Although it appears that Conrail C630 6769 is in a scrap yard environment, the big Alco still has life, and is on a servicing track at the engine terminal in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Just watching around...
October 2024 I visited Ushuaia, in Argentina, forthe second time. This time I went to watch the pinguins at Isla Martillo. It was amazing tp see those exotic birds in their environment.
Rare and endangered birds found only in a few places across the country. Sightings are prized by bird lovers and photographers. They behave like terns both in flight and roosting behaviour, but are larger around 40-45 cms. These birds are mainly found in rivers and estuaries and are impossible to miss due to their bright orange, white and black colors.
The distinctive feature is the bill, with a long lower mandible and a short upper mandible. The birds skim on the water with their beaks open and grab fish, shrimp and other crustaceans and larvae. They are a delight to watch and we were lucky to sight around 300+ of them and spent an hour on the mossy wet ground shooting them. This was one of the largest concentrations of the bird.
Habitat degradation such as fishing, transportation, irrigation schemes etc.. are the main reason for their endangered status. The colonies lie in the sandbars of the rivers on the estuaries making them very hard to protect as well. Feral dogs, crows and other predators are known to decimate breeding colonies.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
A shot taken during sunset - guess its the last meal of the day before they get back to their nests. Maybe it is breeding, I need to check that out.
This male was feeding on the long pods and we sat in the car and watched it from start to finish, around 15 mins maybe. It first selected a ripe pod, then slowly walked down to the end, tore it open, tasted a few, liked it and continued to eat few more. There was a bit of wastage with the seeds falling on the ground, but that helps in generating more plants I suppose.
The bird is named after "Alexander The Great" who transported a large number of these back to Europe as gifts to various nobles.
Thanks in advance for your view / feedback / comments. Much appreciated.

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........
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.

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 !

"As long as there is wanting in you, especially for someone or something to make you happy, paradoxically, this is a sure way to make yourself feel lacking and therefore miserable."

A beautiful and interesting looking parakeet found in the Himalayan Belt within India, but also found much of South East Asia. They are easily identified by the Red patch on their breast area.
These parakeets are social creatures and generally seen in flocks. On this day, we sighted a large flock on a nearby fruiting tree in the afternoon. The birds are quite vocal and caused quite a ruckus with their fights over good fruit.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
