Female Kingfisher captured this afternoon on a small lake in Somerset.
I have been very busy over the last couple of months building a Kingfisher hide at water level on this small lake in the hope of getting Kingfishers to feed in front of it, and today was the first day to sit in it and see what happens.
After a 4 hour wait this stunning little female showed up and did not disappoint she visited 4 times over a couple of hours and seemed very steady in front of the lens, did not seem worried when I rotated the lens around a bit from side to side (very slowly) just to try and get her used to it.
I had to pack up as I was not prepared for the huge drop in temperature and was frozen.
Watch this space as I hope there will be a lot more to come from this adventure.
Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) Status: Near Threatened
Little round Piping Plovers hide in plain sight on sandy ocean and lake shores, blending right in with their sandy gray backs. It's not until they scurry down the sand on their orange legs that you're likely to spot these big-eyed shorebirds with a sharp black collar and an orange bill. They nest in soft sand away from the water's edge along the Atlantic Coast, Great Plains, and Great Lakes. They are endangered due to habitat loss, disturbance, and predation.
Piping Plovers are on the U.S. endangered species list, so if you see one don't get too close. If one starts frantically calling or feigning injury, back away carefully as there may be an almost invisible nest nearby - AllAboutBirds.org

🔴 El F-104 Starfighter que tiene el Ala 12 en la plataforma de Torrejón es una absoluta preciosidad. Visto desde este ángulo a través del 600mm se acentúa la ligera curvatura hacia arriba de la parte posterior de la turbina.
🔵 F-104 Starfighter that 12th Wing has in Torrejón is an absolute beauty. Viewed from this angle through the 600mm, the slight upward curvature of the rear of the fuselage is accentuated.
The two F-units being delivered to TVRM in Chattanooga sat in Grenada, MS for several years and were close to gone when saved by an unknown private buyer. They will eventually be restored but have yet to see any work as of early 2023.
For the first time since 1967 a F-unit has graced the rails of the E&N, this time its GMD FP7A CP 4069 as it departs Nanaimo station for Wellington on the last run of the day.
Although I wasn't able to partake in the NS OCS adventure like many others today, I was able to intercept POED after work with a fine pair of EMD's leading. Accompanied by a lone GE, they are pictured hauling around 70 cars of general freight west through North Berwick, Maine.
