I found a whole folder of images from this beautiful location that I had completely overlooked......stay tuned think I will try to do a few more of these ......:-))
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it :-)
I will always try to reciprocate with a visit back to your stream.
When the Caspian Tern sees a fish he wants, he does this. Stops, turns it’s head down, puts the wings out to stop, and starts the dive. From many photographs of this action, I have noted that the sharp beak spears the fish often like an Anhinga. I have never read this, but I have photographed this. A fishing machine. Unless they are going to take the fish to young or mate, they swallow in in a manner of a second or two.
My darling Snugs is completely immersed in focussed attention. I love this ability of cats where they wholeheartedly enter into this singleminded observation where no other distraction will impact or break it until they are ready. It probably was a bird or insect that was receiving this laser focus.
For the challenge on the group Smile on Saturday.
c'est flou ..et c'est pour le défi du groupe Smile on Saturday.
Picked up a hardly used, prime condition 70-200, f/2.8 lens and did some focus test shots. Shots recorded inside in available window light
من يشبه الطاووس ماله مكانه

مغرور ما حسب له مع الخلق ميزة

Essai de focus stacking direct du boîtier à main levée mais avec l’appareil maintenu appuyé sur le mur. Dix prises empilées dans Photoshop. C’est d’ailleurs la seule chose que je sais faire dans ce logiciel car nous avons vu une démonstration récemment au club photo.
I tried focus stacking as my camera can do it. I chose 10 captures that were compiled in PS in post production. It’s about all I can do with PS by the way, having watched a demo at the photo club.

Found some time, after taking down the Holiday Lights and Christmas Decorations, to scoot over to a local wildlife sanctuary; the trip paid off ;-)
Cooper’s Hawk:
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high-speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.
Once thought averse to towns and cities, Cooper’s Hawks are now fairly common urban and suburban birds. Some studies show their numbers are actually higher in towns than in their natural habitat, forests. Cities provide plenty of Rock Pigeon and Mourning Dove prey.

“Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”

The little island of Runde was one of my destinations in Norway. It is well known for its large Puffin colony but also home to several thousands of Gannets who were starting to breed on the steep rocks. And separate from these birds there were many other bird species so it was a very enjoyable place to spend a few days.
It took me quite some tries to get a few decent shots of Gannets who were circling around the cliffs. while I was standing at ca 200 meters above sea level. Most of the time they were deep down, so my autofocus was continously in error on what to focus on, the sea with all its moving waves or some fast moving birds everywhere.
This little group of Gannets was riding on the wind, and therefor they were hanging around.
