An angry looking Yellow-headed Blackbird photographed at Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve, Boise, Idaho

Godrevy Lighthouse was built in 1858–1859 on Godrevy Island in St Ives Bay, Cornwall. Standing approximately 300 metres (980 ft) off Godrevy Head, it marks the Stones reef, which has been a hazard to shipping for centuries. (Wikipedia)

This endearing little bird turned my head along the southern coast at Lepe.

Watching a group of greater flamingos could be really entertaining. I like it how their heads go up and down - especially when they stand close to each other it seems to be a kind of dance.

Kruger National Park

This photo was taken at the Letaba rest camp in the Kruger National Park. The camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Park.

In winter the gardens are a riot of color, with several species of Aloe and the Impala lily in full bloom.

The Aloes attract a variety of birds, including the Collard, White-bellied, Marico and Scarlet-chested Sunbirds, Crested Barbet, Black-headed Oriole, Black-eyed Bulbul and Red-winged Starlings.

So many elegant and beautiful shots uploaded of this giant of the skies

And rightly so

But...

Every now and again you get that slightly less elegant and dignified moment!

I was fascinated by the seed heads on a Clematis plant in the garden. Quite a thing of beauty, especially close-up when it catches direct light. I picked one and set it up in front of a black card, and used a flash to create the highlights, shooting with a macro lens and using in-camera focus stacking.

Rainy day and low light situation causing need for relatively slow shutter speed and high ISO. Still, a beautiful bird and worthy of posting. This bird reminds me so much of the male painted bunting. Both beauties.

A vocal Yellow-headed Blackbird letting his competition know that this is HIS territory. Nice to see a few back in the Minnesota River Valley amongst the thousands of Red-winged Blackbirds.

This shot was taken in the spring of this year when I called in at Rame Head in the far south-east of Cornwall. On top of the headland are the ruins of the 14th century St Michael's Chapel. It was here that a beacon was lit to announce the arrival of the Spanish Armada in 1588 while Sir Francis Drake supposedly finished his game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe. It's a nice story, anyway.

These days Rame Head is part of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, which seems to have expanded its boundaries over the years. On the eastern side (to the left) is Plymouth Sound while to the west is Whitsand Bay.

Herring gull flew just past me as I managed to catch it mid flight but it was the clarity of its eye and beak that peaked my interest

Another shot from earlier in the year, this is Trevose Head Lighthouse near Padstow in Cornwall. Cloudless days aren't always the best for photography but this was such a gorgeous day I think clouds may have ruined it.
