When times are hard and you have to survive any food will do! Temperatures were -5 and the grey wagtail was struggling to find its usual insect prey. I watched this bird fishing for small fish that it caught several of! AMAZING!
Another shot of our sweetie pie Nina :-), a Neva Masquerade.

This little calf played quite some time, till it realised that two strange big animals with 4 whells stood nearby and then "fled" into safety and watched as carefully from underneath his mother.
Nepal / walking down to Lukla. These boys were following us for a short time hiding in the vegetation ...
"Aquileia ist eine Stadt mit 3380 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2013) in der italienischen Provinz Udine. Sie war eine große Stadt des römischen Reiches. Die Reste der römischen Stadt sind im Freigelände und in zwei Museen zu besichtigen. In der mittelalterlichen Kathedrale befindet sich das bedeutendste frühchristliche Fußbodenmosaik Italiens vom Anfang des 4. Jahrhunderts..."

The northbound Chieftan nears its destination as it crosses Nairn viaduct Culloden. One of two kids playing hide and seek are oblivious to its passage. The other kid is erm....hiding.
This was the cutest little baby ever. He/she didn't appear to have a Mommy. I wanted to take it home with me. Have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

A bit of a miracle getting so close to this species as they are extremely shy and wary. Normally they spot you and hide. However, on passage migration they appear to be much more confiding. They are usually found on desolate moorland and mountain sides but on passage migration they have been recorded on the coast and even in peoples gardens. They will stay if you have berries!

Slightly smaller and slimmer than a blackbird - male ring ouzels are particularly distinctive with their black plumage with a pale wing panel and striking white breast band. The ring ouzel is primarily a bird of the uplands, where it breeds mainly in steep sided valleys, crags and gullies, from near sea level in the far north of Scotland up to 1,200m in the Cairngorms.
Breeding begins in mid-April and continues through to mid-July, with two broods common, and nests are located on or close to the ground in vegetation (typically in heather), in a crevice, or rarely in a tree. The young are fed a diet consisting mainly of earthworms and beetles.
Overview
Latin name
Turdus torquatus
Family
Chats and thrushes (Turdidae)
Where to see them
Ring ouzels can be found in upland areas of Scotland, northern England, north west Wales and Dartmoor. When on spring and autumn migration they may be seen away from their breeding areas, often on the east and south coasts of the UK where they favour short grassy areas.
When to see them
Ring ouzels arrive in March and April and leave again in September.
What they eat
Insects and berries
UK Breeding:-
6,200-7,500 pairs
Conservation
22 July 2011
The first national survey in 1999 estimated the UK ring ouzel population at 6,157-7,549 pairs, with further range contractions and a likely 58 per cent decline in population size since 1988-91.
Recent studies aimed at understanding these declines suggest that low first-year, and possibly adult, survival may be the main demographic mechanisms driving the population decline. The large population decline qualifies the ring ouzel for inclusion on the red list of birds of conservation concern.
The 2011 addition of the circular skywalk "Your Rainbow" panorama on the very top of this landmark museum is unique and popular with everyone visiting. So cool. The views of Aarhus city are stunning. Also a fun place for children to play hide and seek with their parents. Good times.
- I mixed the moving car picture with flames shot just before, I tried something, tell me what you think about it ;) !
- J'ai mixé la photo de la voiture en mouvement et les flammes shootées juste avant, j'ai essayé quelque chose, dites-moi ce que vous en pensez ;) !

I have not posted a photo of Mount Rainier in four months..... ok, I haven't posted anything in three weeks either. :)
So Friday I get up at three and bolt with coffee in hand, get to Inspiration point as the show is dying down. Rainier is off to my right clear as day, not a cloud around it, just blah blue. ok, off to Reflection Lakes about a mile down the road. Not only is there no mountain at all, there still aren't any lakes either, still frozen over. Back to Inspiration Point, same blah, but I can see Ricksecker Point below and it's just above the fog rolling through the Nisqually Valley, tallyho! I leap from sweet ride and take this shot, less than five seconds later I take a pic of half the mountain and there were no more shots as the mountain had drawn the do not disturb curtain and disappeared once more.
Near Mopani, there was a Bird Hide - I forgot its name, but will update as soon as I find my map :)
We saw this absolutely mad rush of a vast herd of Buffalo leaving dust clouds behind as they stormed the water's edge for a drink.
First it was a few, then a few more, and then more and more until they lined up, forcing crocodiles back into the water, Hippos disgruntledly grunting their complaints about the disturbance and birds to soar around in joy as they stirred up a whole bunch of previously hidden insects.
For close to an hour, this waterhole provided a lot of entertainment. Buffalo are one of the Big 5, and some people find them either ugly or boring.
Personally, I find them interesting - despite them being a black mass, each one has an individual face, personality, and behavioural patterns around this situation. Some were more skittish than others, some had practically beady eyes, others had more of a curious glint in theirs... No, despite their masses, their grumpy reputation, I do enjoy watching them (safely, from a bird-hide... or the enclosure of a car :) I don't think they'd appreciate a cuddle or a boop ;) )
