Evening Grosbeak
The day is drawing to a close around Widdop Reservoir . Widdop is a remote and beautiful area of moorland between Hebden Bridge and Burnley. The area has a wild and colourful setting of boulder-strewn bracken-clad slopes topped by millstone grit crags. Surrounding the reservoir on all sides are numerous small crags and boulders, which offer some excellent climbing and bouldering.
The last time I saw one of these beautiful birds was in the 1970s!

Last evening's view of another fantastic show that lasted for hours. Quick shot from the yard. Thanks for looking!
Birds take flight in the evening sky as the sun sets from Pennypack Park on the Delaware, Philadelphia
"Yes, that looks like an engine," Dave was looking satisfied as he peered under the bonnet of the car he was thinking about buying - my car in fact. I nodded sagely in agreement. "It does indeed appear to be an engine." I sometimes wonder why we need mechanics when two bumbling amateurs can race so quickly to such conclusive positions as this. I was just pleased to discover that my little Fiat hadn't spent the last ten years being propelled by an enormous rubber band that I might one day have to rewind with an industrial winch and the aid of a championship winning tug of war team. I think that in those ten years I looked underneath the bonnet no more than half a dozen times. Of course nowadays car engines are just boxes under the bonnet that you plug a computer into if you want to make sure everything is OK. Nobody like us can actually work on them anymore. The fact that everyone teases me and calls me "Captain Slow" because I don't drive everywhere at 150 miles per hour has probably helped to keep the last decade of driving completely trouble free.
All of this irrelevance had found me rethinking my weekend plans. I'd promised myself a Saturday evening alone at Godrevy after a long week at work, and I'd promised Ali that once I'd advanced beyond the need to stand on a clifftop pointing a camera at a lighthouse, I'd reserve the rest of the weekend for spending time with her. Now Sunday would be spent finding temporary insurance for a car I'd not driven in five months, a morning valet service and an afternoon trip to the mechanic for the MOT. Knowing I'd need Ali's help for that I suggested we spend Saturday evening together - although in practice that meant me heading off in one direction with the camera and her in the other with the dog. There would be a rendezvous at the car at dusk, and it was accepted that I would be later than I'd said I would be. I'm afraid that usually happens because once I've arrived here; even the fact that night is drawing in doesn't generally deter me from taking one last image - and then another.
I arrived in this spot at high tide, the advancing waves scattering a group of startled oystercatchers from the rocks in front of me. The sea was doing beautiful things in powder blue tones and I took lots of exposures, trying to catch the water pouring of the rocks in the centre ground. It was my first time back here since lockdown and it felt great to be back on my favourite stomping ground.
I have a week off work to look forward to now, so it's inevitable that I'll be here again very soon. It's really not an easy place to tear yourself away from.
Evening Grosbeak has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22720702/131500502
Evening Grosbeak is a member of the Finches family (Fringillidae), and not as one might expect the Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and relatives (Cardinalidae). Such are the vagaries of common names. This species certainly has a heavy bill, typical of a seedeater. Males, as in this image, have a bright yellow superciliary (‘eyebrow’) and other yellowish highlights; females and juveniles are greyish. Some authorities now place this species in the genus Hesperiphona. This individual was seen in the Weaselhead Natural Area in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in wintertime — Evening Grosbeak is a year-round resident of southern Canada and the western USA, with some birds spending the colder months in central and eastern USA.
Driving mountain roads near Queenstown can be challenging, but has its rewards: hese views of lake Hayes were spectacular.
I was surprised to see four of these evening grosbeaks, three in a tree top and this one nestled in a cedar..
Thank you for viewing
Melanitis leda, the common evening brown, is a common species of butterfly found flying at dusk. The flight of this species is erratic. They are found in Africa, South Asia and South-east Asia extending to parts of Australia.
Gray evening, Finland.
The day was gray and it was already getting dark. I was just testing some filters and stuff and not expecting anything special.
Then suddenly there was a small opening between the clouds. Quickly I searched for a spot where I could include some rocks in the composition. Soon the Sun set and colors were gone completely.
I was happy to capture something different instead of the usual colorful sunsets. Sometimes less is more, right?
More from the evening shoot. We never did see George, a local man saw a large male further upriver...we are hopeful it was him.

Sorry this is a dump & run. I'm trying to ignore a horrible toothache and not winning. 😥😥😥
