It was overcast and windy today, but when I saw all the Goldfinch activity at these two feeders, I just had to grab my camera.
Granted a few Goldfinches flew off when I returned to the window but most of them stayed. They flew back and forth, coming and going like crazy. I took dozes of photos, anxious to see what the highest count would be.
So, later when looking at the photos the highest total between the two feeders was 10. That was OK, but considering I got 10 on just the thistle sock alone at one time, todays 'high' count didn't impress me. BUT when looking at several of the shots I noticed something different. Finally, on one of them did the mystery bird make itself known - a Brown headed Nuthatch! On the thistle sock, which I've never seen them do before.

This little guy found an interest in hovering nearby me just long enough for me to get a chance to capture it the air.

The dawn of hover vehicles took place just before the Lazarus Flu had become a global pandemic. Thanks to a flood of investment, the vehicles were commonplace along the Silk Road countries and when the infection arrived, these vehicles were adapted for survival. Militant groups took to them for their potential as mobile weapons platforms, and Scimitar was no exception.
This vehicle took much longer than it should have, but I have to say I'm actually finally happy with a vehicle I've built. I really like the hover aspect to this, let me know what you think! People I've asked for advice, ranted to about this, or used products from are tagged. Thanks!

A few more pics of the Hover-Speeder from yesterday.
And loving those new wheel hubs. They're just perfect for spaceship engines :D
Not the best quality picture of the day as the sun was in the wrong place and he was too far away but it was good to get a picture of him hovering before his dive. Clearly with those skills it was an adult.

I was very excited to see this brute of a hoverfly sunning itself on the top of MamTor! It was pretty flighty, but in the end I managed to get a shot or two!
This is Sericomyia silentis, the Bog Hoverfly, a very large black and yellow wasp mimic hover! It is widespread and abundant in upland areas in the north and west of the UK, favouring acid wetlands. In lowland and eastern regions is is found mainly in heathlands and other acidic habitats.
I haven't been very happy with much of my work lately. Today at lunch I sat out on the front stoop and sat. After about 15 minutes the hummingbirds quit being shy. They were very accommodating. I was actually quite pleased with this one of a female feasting on the black and blue salvia. It is amazing what you can see by just being patient. Now catching the hummingbird chasing the bee would have been very cool! Large

This is a little guy, maybe 11/2 inches. He and his buddies were just hovering around and I was able to sneak up on them!
