When I watched this interaction between these two Goldfinch it looked at the time as though they were squabbling with one and other. The more I look at this the less I am sure.

Photo taken at Ian's woodland hide.

Ian's hides have been developed of late and are now open to paid visitors. If anyone is interested in visiting to watch birds and or photograph them please follow the link below. This will give contact details, prices, location and access to a photographic gallery. A large range of birds from Sparrowhawk, to Goldeneye, Jay, Kestrel and Greater Spotted Woodpecker are just some of the species to be seen. Yesterday for example I photographed twenty different species. Needless to say I thoroughly recommend a visit.

This rather fine display of plumes is why many herons and egrets were hunted to near extinction in the late 1800's/early 1900's to serve the fashion industry. In 1900 these plumes were worth more per ounce than gold and plume hunters killed 5 million birds a year in Florida decimating it's shore bird population.

Even after the law was changed to protect these birds, apparently hunters still murdered two Audubon wardens who were protecting birds in the Everglades.

Taken near Fort Myers, Florida.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Somewhere or other there must surely be

The face not seen, the voice not heard,

The heart that not yet - never yet - ah me !

Made answer to my word.

Somewhere or other, may be near or far ;

Past land and sea, clean out of sight ;

Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star

That tracks her night by night.

Somewhere or other, may be far or near ;

With just a wall, a hedge, between ;

With just the last leaves of the dying year

Fallen on a turf grown green.

One of a flock of 70 or so birds that turned up to feed on trees in the car park of the local Miners Welfare Club, which were part of the major irruption to Britain in winter 2016/2017. I remember seeing the sighting on Facebook Notts Birders page at 10:30 am that morning and made a rapid dash up there in the car that lunchtime, for a very entertaining and fairly fruitful afternoon's photography; all the more entertaining (?!) for having to look out for and dodge welfare club members driving in (and out!) from time to time.

Thanks for viewing and thank you for your comments and faves

A typical winter morning in the Western Cape, South Africa.

Since 2 years now I moved away from Adobe Ransonware, I am wondering if I should go back. Sometime I feel On1 is not rendering image like LR/PS was doing. For now I save 16$ a month for 2 years. May be I should do a trial an see where LR/PS are now, I still can use ON1 as a addon.

Not sure if LR has now the luminosity mask like ON1.

Snow looks like sugar, but its taste is completely different ;-))

Have a lovely Sunday ahead ;-))

Le Raoulic

A good friend used to call male rose-breasted grosbeaks either Felix or Oscar (after the Odd Couple characters), depending on whether its "bib" looked neat or messy. This guy's bib looks pretty neat to me, except for the dribble at the bottom. What do you say?

Young female Eastern Blue bird asking her dad for more food. I just watched him feed her, and I don't know what his thinking is. Is he tired, or just ignoring her, or just wondering what kind of mess he got him self into. They sure act like humans.

The adult Lammergeier has snow-white feathers on its neck, shoulders and chest. On this white feather cloth, the vultures paint a rust-red color by bathing in soil or water rich in red iron oxide deposits.

This week's theme of the 'Smile on Saturday' group is 'Selective Colour'. I used to love selective colour but for some reason haven't used it in a long time, so I was very happy with the theme. Mousie obviously enjoyed the theme too ! :) HSoS !

RKO_3282. The same Northern Goshawk as in the previous images but in this image she is protecting the prey! I left the wasp in the image as it (in my humble opinion) adds something to the photo! Despite the difficult light conditions, I am happy with the result! Enjoy!
