Robin (Erithacus rubecula) Our resident garden robin is quite tame. He is so handsome at this time of the year and always happy to pose!

Hi flickr friends - we have been on the road and finally were able to see our daughter and her fam. (it's been a year & a half) and this is their latest addition - Samson... lots to smile about : )

I look forward to catching up with you ♡

I love the detailed green on the Grater Scaup that came in close to shore on a nice morning

Now, two and a half years old.

He was a cute baby, see below.

Do you know what Emu The Handsome, Winnie The Poo, John The Baptist and Alfred the Great have in common? They all have the same middle name. Are you not emused?

From the comments: Attila the Hun, Eric the Wise, Eric the Wise Cracker, Dragon the Handsome, Jack the Knife, William the Conqueror, Vlad the Impaler, Dennis the Menace. Seems "THE" is a very common middle name.

Happy New Year everyone! Here is a shot from before the little ponds and pools froze over. A very friendly Green Winged Teal drake on a calmn day.

Lake Nakuru, Kenya, Africa a wonderful place to find large giraffes.

Although giraffes are very tall, they don’t sleep much. Most of them get around 10 minutes to two hours of sleep per day.

Even when they get the little amount of sleep required each day, they don’t lie down. Giraffes go to sleep standing up most of the time.

Nothing prettier than a Tom Turkey strutting his stuff surrounded with greenery and wild flowers. Females were in the area while this male showed them some great moves.

This has to be the most handsome of over a dozen large stags at Bushy Park

I have nick-named him 'Spider'

due to those wonderful antlers

Thank you my friends for popping by.

I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a Happy Weekend

Take care and stay safe everyone

Thank you

He is handsome and he is the alpha male of the boer goats at a local park, the one who rules the roost. This goat is quite a character but very friendly too and he LOVES visitors.

Anhinga bringing home some nesting material. The males, like this one, have a black neck unlike their mate's, which are brown. This time of year in Florida they head out repeatedly for nesting material and are rewarded with greetings and bonding when they return to the nest. When landing they usually look pleasingly goofy with their webbed feet splayed out during landing, but this one is pure grace in motion.

Hornberg Castle or Burg Hornberg is a partially ruined castle located on a steep outcrop above the Neckar valley above the village Neckarzimmern, between Bad Wimpfen and Mosbach. It is the largest and oldest of the castles in the valley.[The original castle was built in the 11th century. It is notable as the stronghold of Götz von Berlichingen, who bought it in 1517 and died there in 1562. The castle was bought by Reinhard of Gemmingen in 1612 and remains in possession of the Gemmingen-Hornberg family today. It was uninhabited from 1738 and left to decay until 1825, when it was partially restored. It has housed a museum since 1968.

This Golden-crowned kinglet seemed to be posing for me. And who am I to say no,lol.

This is another Merlin (Prairie) that I saw that morning. He was busy eating his breakfast and keeping a watchful eye for other raptors around.

This beauty is actually a male Red-bellied Woodpecker. He stopped here to relax for a few minutes before flying off to join his mate.

This handsome wild Stallion was taken in Utah. There are many bands of wild horses in the west. My understanding is that they arrived with the Spanish and became feral over time. They are a controversial subject in that the cattle farmers feel that they compete with the sometimes meager resources available in a lot of the BLM land and argue that they eat deeper into the roots of the vegetation. My horse whisperer friends deny that and make the strong case that the where the horses have roamed for years the vegetation has remained unchanged. Water sources are often provided by the hand of man and I'm not sure how well the horses would do without our aid. In Dugway, where this image was taken, the herds have been culled due to lack of resources. Similarly, in Nevada, herd culling is always underway and the controversies and arguments there are never ending. Nevada uses prisoners to capture and break the horses for eventual resale, I hope. I think if I were serving time I'd volunteer for that job. My take is that many of these states are failing to realize the potential tourist dollars that could be earned by attracting more outdoor photographers to wild horse country. Not that I'm complaining!
