Black-shouldered Kite
≠====================≠
The female of a pair had scored a Rat (Ratus ratus).
Mice are soft and flexible and go down easily. She was determined to consume as much as possible.
Her mate kept flying by hoping for any dropped scraps.
The short lived experiment that was TFW's Class 769 is illustrated here as 769008 crosses Newport Road after leaving Queen Street station back in March.
This guy seemed curious about us, but not particularly alarmed.

Carnarvon Gorge is incised through sedimentary and volcanic beds on the western side of a great anticline. Though the spectacular gorge walls are Precipice sandstone, there are other beds above including Evergreen sandstone and higher still are the Consuelo basalt flows that form the surface of Consuelo Tableland, and Mt Percy. Rainfall that infiltrates the basalts recharges the groundwater in the underlying sandstones. This groundwater then sustains the permanent water in the creeks flowing on the gorge. However the variable rainfall is sometimes torrential resulting in the seepage-fed placid, permanent pools of the gorge becoming raging torrents, moving boulders, soil and cutting swathes through the vegetation on the gorge floor.
Fallen logs are seen here in the background, and leafy debris is present in the foreground. The treeferns may survive the torrent because of stem flexibility and because of its internal growth point which allows the treefern to recover quickly.
They are appealing both because of their vibrant green and their lacey foliage, and also because in this central queensland region summers can be very hot, thus the string of quiet pools in the gorge with this green vegetation is an oasis.

A spring from a toy fitted to a child's bracelet. I've used silver and gold card reflectors with window light.
It amazes me to see the dexterity exhibited by some birds in flight. Kites, like this Swallow-tailed Kite, seem to be particularly skilled.
Tern's turning are difficult to capture. It really is a matter of luck as it happens so quickly. Once they have dived for a fish, they shake the water off. It takes about 3 seconds before the shake.
Notice how his head is turned 180° and his tail is turned 90°.
This shot is special to me because the Tern is faced toward me and the background is vegetation and the beach, not just sky or water. Today was a good day for photographing birds.

"Take my picture,” she said. “I’m going to do something.”
And this - quite unexpectedly - is what she did.
Livestock mobility, flexible use of rangelands, and diverse herds were key elements of traditional nomadic pastoral practices throughout the world and contributed to the high ecological stability of pastoral systems.
Nomads are still found today on the Tibetan Plateau and Himalaya. Known in the Tibetan language as drokpa, translating as “high-pasture people,” there are an estimated two million Tibetan-speaking nomads spread over a vast area. Throughout the Tibetan areas of what is now the People’s Republic of China and in the northern parts of Bhutan, India and Nepal, nomads are an important element in the economy and society wherever they are found, but their way of life is disappearing.

Bridges symbolise change and flexibility!
They show us this simple philosophy: When you are on one side, you can easily move to the other side!
