The green flies (Lucilia cuprina), these had a type of communication that we ignored, but it seemed entertaining.

Thanks for your visits and comments.

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot."

Time flies,

After a hot summer, so the cows weren't out much,

It was too hot and too dry.

Now we have wolves in the area. Which means the ladies have to get in on time.

The weather is getting colder, so the grazing season is almost over.

So next year hope the wolves stay away.

Several sheep, cows and a pony have already been attacked and died of their injuries.

A concern for now and the future

 

Greetings Caroline and the farm animals

Generally quite dark compared to other orb web spiders and can be found close to water where their webs are spun on fencing, buildings and bridges and rarely on vegetation. Close to a river near me where I live a river flows under a road in a tunnel these Orbweb spiders can be found and seen in their webs close to the lights that help to light up the pathway where they have the best of both worlds, warmth from the lights where I have even seen the adults spiders here in February with snow outside and plus their prey such as moths and flies are attracted to the lights also. Its amazing to see their webs so close together and not eating each other, nature can be truly amazing at times.

  

these African Buffalo have incredibly unpredictable temperament ...I like to keep my distance!

This little male Pied Wagtail looks like he has been in quite a scrap and is missing the tips of two wing feathers .

The image was taken as he flew across the return trail where he was catching flies .

I think this is a culicidae could be wrong?

Just a few a forest of Fly Agaric below National Trusts Park Coppice near Coniston in the Lake District.

火車可以買回程票

但人生旅途只有單程票,有去無回

 

坐火車可以知道下一站是哪裡

但人生的旅途你永遠不知道哪裡是下一站

 

火車錯過了,還可以再等下一班

但人生旅途中的時間與機會錯過了,則不能再重來

Twiggall flies are tiny, just 1/6 inch long. They lay their eggs in the growing tips of aspen twigs. When the eggs hatch, the larvae consume the soft growing tissues. The tree responds by forming a gall, which inadvertently protects the chewing larvae from predators. The galls are small, about 13 mm long and 8 mm wide. But they keep growing, even after the flies escape from the galls. Years later, the tiny galls have grown to lumps and bumps and girdling bands, as seen here.

Whether Snowy Egrets learned their fly fishing technique from the numerous terns that ply the waters of Horsepen Bayou or they developed it independently, it is an exceptionally impressive if not exceptionally efficient form of feeding.

In the "spring time" it seems "time flies"

I'll die with the black flies picking my bones in North Ontario-io, in North Ontario... Is the only thing that comes to mind when I look at my Northern Ontrario pictures from last summer.

 

Built in 1974 for the Ontario Nortland, SD40-2 1735 Still looks amazing at 47 years of age. She was assigned pretty much all of summer 2021 on Ditcher №1, seen here tied-down for the night at Kapuskasing.

So you got a little heartbreak

Feeling like a dumb chump

Laying in left field

Can't believe you got dumped

Everything gone wrong

But you're listening to the right song

 

Grab yourself a cheap seat

Floating or flying

Anything southbound

Heading to the islands

Grab a little white sand

Maybe get your blues tanned

 

Riptides rippin'

The sunset's dippin'

You smile that smile

Keep on sippin'

 

Time flies

Sitting in the sun

When you're feeling numb

Time flies

When you're having rum

 

Yeah, you find a little beach bar

Down on the water

Sail away the Captain

Feeling Jolly Roger

Talking to a cutie

Heading for the booty

 

Riptides rippin'

The sunset's dippin'

You smile that smile

You'll be saying

 

Time flies

Sitting in the sun

Yeah, when you're getting some

Time flies

When you're having rum

 

Yeah

 

Riptides rippin'

The sunset's dippin'

You smile that smile

You'll be saying

 

Time flies

Yeah, when your in the sun

The spindle that holds the arms of a small wall clock in place. It's the only clock in the house that isn't encased in glass - so I can get in really close!

The base of the spindle measures just 1cm across. Shot with the Lensbaby Sweet 50 optic and an 8mm macro ring.

I took this shot because I found it interesting the way the runner was speeding past the clock with no hands. I was lucky that the elderly lady on her scooter was passing at the same time so that I could also contrast how time flies and ages us all. This was taken in Memorial Park, Basingstoke.

One more fly for Fly Day Friday - this one Safe For Work - HFDF!

HIHD, Should have had my camera out yesterday two very tiny flys were at it on the window - When down came a spider and I'm afraid yup you guessed it got one! The other thought it had escaped - but in its haste to flee quickly flew straight into the web - At least they went with a smile lol!

I see Western Kingbirds far less often than their close relatives, the Eastern species, so I was happy to find a pair nesting in my neighbourhood this spring. One morning in late June I spent some time watching them catch flies on my neighbour's property, and one obliged me by resting for a few minutes on a low branch, allowing me to shoot a dozen or more frames.

 

This is the first of three shots of neighbourhood birds. The next two will be from my backyard. I am already feeling nostalgic for them, as the southbound migration has begun: we are losing species every week. No more nighthawks. Blackbirds are flocking. Shorebirds are on the move. Next month the small passerines will be passing through - warbler, sparrows, vireos. Stay tuned...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch I spotted these two lovebirds. I did a google search but never found anything like this so I have no clue what they are. They seem to be in abundance this year and from the looks of things, maybe even more so next year! LOL Update: Thank you Brad Hamel for the ID, these are Gold Backed Snipe Flies!

Mr Stonechat watching the flies this afternoon.
