the hawk watches the bird feeders below with a very intense gaze while perched on old oak...we have at least 3 varities of hawks here and sometimes it's difficult to ID them...this is a zoomed in shot on a perfect day...
A new challenge for me. My first foray into carving hardwood. I think it's oak, really well seasoned. The wood was given to me by a mate, enough wood to keep me occupied for years! It belonged to his Grandad, a wood carver. Nice to be able to bring some of this very old wood to life. I'm sure his Grand Father 'would' have approved.

The sign reads: please do not climb the tree.
This ancient oak (which has been pollarded in the past) has a huge twisty trunk with a girth of 7.7 metres which categorises it as an ancient tree.

I was out on my bicycle today looking for track and canalside evidence, evidence of stuff that's not the faintest bit enteresting to 99.9% of the human race, this can include rotten telegraph poles, bridgework rivets and that old favourite....rails from Brunels days now utilised as fencing posts !
My wife will only join me on these exciting ventures on the understanding that I don't talk about or analyse anything that could be faintly interesting.
Oh I forgot to mention, rivets, rivets on old barges (possibly now narrowboats) could mean there's a fair chance they were once on the LMS fleetlist....I'll do anything for a cop !
Anyhow, I didn't find any of the above, but I did come across an old Warship sticking out the end of someones shed.

the eagle doesn't get along too well with the osprey...this shot was taken during a hot discussion session...
Old South Carolinian oak trees, complete with ferns and Spanish moss on the branches. These are really beautiful in person. Detail is best seen large. I also took a couple of photos of a whole road with these on both sides, but they weren't as good as this shot. I think I'll try to clone out that car soon too.

since their return at the beginning of April... ospreys have been hanging out singly and in groups on my old oak tree... and it's amazing to suddenly see them drop from a height of about 60 feet from the oak branch right into the river and come out with a fish hanging on to their claws... if I am watching I see this happen at least 8-10 times a day...now my oak tree has become even more of a hang out for the ospreys as they have the opportunity to watch the young goslings at the edge of my property which adjoins my neighbors...
