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.
Right after I got this shot, this Red-lined Leafhopper launched himself into space--- (the space between the branches.... :)

Ospreys always seem highly motivated for the Christmas Bird Count on Armand Bayou. This one was ready to go right at sunrise.
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.

Taken at the end of November last year when we were lucky enough to have about 100 Bohemian Waxwings feeding in a residential Norwich street.
They were a bit more skittish than Waxwings I have encountered before - decending en masse from the overlooking trees for no longer than 30 seconds at a time of frenzied feeding before returning to safety.
