"Macro Mondays" this week's theme "Summer Olympic Sports" HMM
Since 1992, badminton has been a Summer Olympic sport with five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.
The shuttlecock cone is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. To ensure that shuttlecock rotate consistently, only feathers from the birds' left wings are used. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph).

The only editing I did was sharpening,cropping and a little color boost.Love the Nikon D2H and the Nikon 70-300mm vr.The orange color you see was a car.
Feeding birds are forever retreating suddenly to their hideyholes when spooked on our patio. But there is no need to call in Scotland Yard's Flying Squad... A tiny telltale feather clinging to the leaf of our Clematis montana has given away one of their haunts ... :-))

Mute Swan [Cygnus olor]
Cold, blustery and very windy day...lots of swans in the harbour doing just this!
They weren’t actually asleep - their legs and feet were still paddling. Every now and then one would stick his head up, have a look around and then snuggle back down.

A stern looking Javan myna is protecting a feather it found. In Fort Canning, Singapore. It got too hot for sightseeing. So I stopped to look for birds in the shade.
