A great grey heron landing in Bushy Park last spring

AMAZING how our guide spotted this small very shy Chameleon high up a tree on a night drive, hence not a very good quality image, active in the night, feeding on insects, and regrettably one of the most sort after reptiles in the pet trade, but protected on this South Luangwa National Park.

================================================

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, will it ever stop raining in the U.K., will be back in the Gambia in Africa again in three weeks, to photograph the birds, and enjoy that thing called the sun, not seen in Kent for ages.

Keep safe and well, God bless...................................Tomx

The geese are back, hurray! As always, one or another is always in a flap about something.

A wryneck (Jynx torquilla) was flapping in Nagoya, Japan.

This title is probably a misnomer. It implies that the Blue Jay is preparing to land, when in actuality it is just taking off with a sunflower seed in its beak. However, having caught the bird with its wings in downward motion, I am hoping this title will fly (pun intended.)

A pair of classic old pick-ups judging by the plates still registered! Look closely at the left mud flap -- showing a little leg!

Happy Truck Thursday!

swallow after a water rush not perfect but I'm improving so I'm happy. this is highly cropped so I think the 600mm has to make an appearance for the best results.

One of the pair of bridled common murres show here has just arrived back on a ledge of the nesting cliff, so a little vocalizing, mutual pecking, and wing flapping was in order.
