My Hooded Merganser "season" wasn't as lively this last Winter as they have been in the past, but there WERE some moments. You probably know by now if they have the time (not being chased by another hoodie thief) and inclination, they give those crayfish some good shakes to snap off the legs. This shake evidently backfired and launched the crusty meal, right outathe focus plane. Of course the Hoodie made quick on the retrieve.

The Keswick Launch Company was formed in 1935 when many of the individual operators on Derwentwater joined to form one company.
The Princess Margaret Rose was built in the 1930s especially for the lake. With 95 seats, it is in regular use.
The Annie Mellor is a passenger vessel built in 1932 by Borwick & Sons as a houseboat for Sir George Mellor, JP. At the time, there was seating for 120 with accommodation for 40 in the cabin which was furnished in blue velvet with mahogany and brass fittings. It arrived at Derwentwater in 1935 and after a total rebuild in 2008 is in regular use.
Annie Mellor was the sister of Sir George Mellor, JP, who was appointed a knighthood in 1921 for public and national services, particularly in connection with The King’s Lancashire Military Convalescent Hospital, Blackpool.
This board rider looked as though he was launching on to rocks but he had seen a wave coming that I couldn't see.
With the FFF+ at Torquay Surf Beach.
I usually try to avoid centering the subject of a photo, but I think it works on this one of Ripley taken at lunch today. : ) No way to avoid her at this speed, but I got lots of snowy, happy kisses once I was lying in the snow.
A great grey owl steps off a birch snag to check out some vole activity nearby. I always underestimate how long their wings are, I left room above the owl when framing in the camera, but as you can see, my mental calculation was off.
I really like the large number of large snowflakes coming down. And the bits of snow falling off its head as it launched.
In western Colorado, we have lots of raptor visitors in the winter. One of my favorite winter raptors is the rough-legged hawk. There's something quite special about its beauty in flight and of course, their overall beauty. They get their name from their fully feathered legs to the feet ... similar to that of a golden eagle or a ferruginous hawk.
In 2020, I saw several early on in the winter, but not too many since that time. Guess I'll have to wait until next winter to see them again.
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and comment. :-)

One of the great egrets at Audubon Park taking flight to find another stick for the nest! Ardea alba.
"The 2nd Light Horse Regiment–Woombye Troop commemorate the 107th anniversary of the famous Beersheba mounted charge with their annual Beersheba Day Parade on Sunday, November 3rd. The event took place in the heart of Woombye, Qld, to honour the brave men and horses of the historic 1917 battle.
On October 31, 1917, as the sun set across the Negev Desert, the Australian Light Horse Divisions launched a successful mounted charge to secure the town of Beersheba. This crucial victory was a significant moment in the Sinai Palestine Campaign of World War I, showcasing the courage and endurance of the Light Horse regiments."
I was feeling very strange.

Ospreys always seem highly motivated for the Christmas Bird Count on Armand Bayou. This one was ready to go right at sunrise.
An Atlantic puffin stands on the edge of a rocky cliff at Sumburgh Head with its wings partially raised, preparing to launch off the cliff down to the water. The bird stands with its orange feet on a small grass tuft and is surrounded by blooming sea pinks. Shetland, Scotland.

on the Kennet and Avon canal at Bathampton, Somerset.
The folks a board were wineing and dining.
The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway in southern England with an overall length of 87 miles (140 km),[1] made up of two lengths of navigable river linked by a canal. The name is commonly used to refer to the entire length of the navigation rather than solely to the central canal section. From Bristol to Bath the waterway follows the natural course of the River Avon before the canal links it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and from there to Reading on the River Thames. In all, the waterway incorporates 105 locks.
The two river stretches were made navigable in the early 18th century, and the 57-mile (92 km) canal section was constructed between 1794 and 1810. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway. In the latter half of the 20th century the canal was restored in stages, largely by volunteers. After decades of dereliction and much restoration work, it was fully reopened in 1990. The Kennet and Avon Canal has been developed as a popular heritage tourism destination for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling, and is also important for wildlife conservation.
