I’ve been back a couple of times to the Millennium garden at Pensthorpe Natural Park. So much to enjoy at all levels, including, here, a bee gathering nectar from sedum.
Sympétrum rouge sang - Reserve Naturelle Ornithologique de Ploegsteert (B).
Surprise de taille, pas de canard, ni héron, ni aigrette, plutôt un désert ornitho. Pour les oiseaux, ce sera peut-être meilleur dans quelques semaines.

Thank you very much everyone for the welcome comments and favorites.

This is so close to home. In fact, I think I should spend more time here exploring its beauty instead of taking a long trip overseas now. California still has a lot to offer.

A Bristol Boxkite, designed in 1910, this replica was made in the mid-1960s for the movie 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines'
I wonder how long it takes to check the tension on all those bracing cables.....
The Boxkite was a relatively successful 2-seat training aircraft of its day, with 87 being constructed in the years before WW1. It can achieve a dizzying speed of approx 40mph/64km/h.
It is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedford, England.
This is the oldest British flyable aircraft.
Built in 1912 by Robert Blackburn, it is the only one of this model constructed.
If you look very carefully, you can just see the engine cylinders, below the propeller shaft, which rotate around the crankshaft in the opposite direction to the propeller, as this is a rotary engine (not to be confused with a radial engine.)
Turns are aided by warping or twisting the wings via cables. Wing warping was invented and patented by the Wright Brothers, who vigorously defended their patents - it is likely that Wilbur, in particular, spent more time in court than he ever spent in the air.
Despite its fragile appearance, the Blackburn type D was capable of 60mph and a flight duration of more than 2 hours.
The aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 1914 and later purchased by Richard Shuttleworth. It was restored to flight in 1947 and can be seen on calm days flying at The Shuttleworth Collection's base of Old Warden.
