Kruger National Park
This drab colored bird is a common resident in the Kruger National Park but you should not be misled by its appearance. The drongo is a highly intelligent bird and has the ability to mimic calls of other animals and it uses this skill to distract them. For example the Dwarf Mongoose has a number of different alarm calls for different predators. The drongo has learnt to imitate these calls. It will sit in trees above the foraging mongoose watching closely and waiting for one of them to catch something. At this point the drongo screeches the mimicked mongoose alarm call, sending the whole colony scattering for cover – leaving behind the food that they have just caught. The drongo then swoops in, picks up the abandoned food and heads back into the trees to enjoy the mongooses’ hard earned meal.

Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
Fork-tail Flycatcher is a vagrant to our areas. But is a beautiful bird and will alway go out of way to get a photo.
My take on a famous photograph titled “Fork” by Hungarian photographer André Kertész. My angle and light are slightly different and my plate is much smaller and shorter than Kertész’s. Regardless, I haven’t done many still life photos this year and it was a good practice exercise.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate tableware at Macro Mondays. Once again, I went with a fork since I love the shadows they can produce. As you can see this old silver fork, looks like an item from the another the or space… Who knows, maybe this fork was even on the moon with NASA. I, personally, have no recollection how this from ended up at my house. However, we all know by now that I’m a hoarder and that tableware has a place in my hoarding process for sure. So lets just say that this is an old astronaut fork from 1969 and it might have been used by Neil Armstrong himself… and this being said, it is my day at the office today so wish me luck ! See you later !
Mucho, mucho amor for you my friends !! Have a beautiful day !!!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr

A small cake fork that has just 3 tines or prongs. Shot in the sunshine on ceramic kitchen tiles. Lines and shadows give extra 'threes', which I rather liked. The size of the fork shot against a 3x2" credit card in the first comment field
HMM!!

A slight bit of abstraction. In shot a fork and its shadow.
Not old this fork, I'm suprised how rough some of the finishing is, and the almost serated edges the prongs have, almost as if to hook your food.

Little waterfalls along the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. Not a perfect picture, alas, but pleasant enough! Autumn 2017.
The idea of forks as the subject of a photo has always appealed to me and finally, today I followed through. For We're Here! who are looking at forks and for my POTD.
