Doesn't the fish look pathetic?
I wanted to do a series of him hunting -- stalking, the plunge, gulping it down -- which I still will. But for now, I'm busy actually being productive, so here's a closeup.
is feeling a bit glum that her sister didn't arrive today. I told her to enjoy the attention while she was the sole recipient and we went outside to look at the flowers together.

The drinking had not even started yet and they still managed to get those pink hats. I wonder what will happen after they reach the bottom.
A Hooded Merganser catches this poor frog and makes a quick meal of it. The frogs are in brumation, like hibernation, in the cold water of winter and therefore easy targets if the ducks find them.

Brambling / fringilla montifringilla. Minsmere, Suffolk. 16/10/15.
One of three Bramblings that had recently arrived at Minsmere.
This was the second day I spent trying to make images of them. Sadly the light was abysmal and there was almost constant drizzle.
The previous day the Bramblings had been excessively nervous and flighty but on this visit one of the females was braver.
The Great Horned Owl is Alberta's provincial bird. I saw this month old youngster at the “Alberta Birds of Prey Centre ” in Lethbridge.
Apparently, the parents abandoned this baby after their nesting area was disturbed by a construction project. This is one of the most usual reasons for orphan birds being brought to the centre.
Normally the chicks gain the strength and are ready to fly by the age of two months. This one will probably not be destined for return to the wild because of its young age when brought to the centre.

I don't know how it happened, but this poor sea gull had a lure on his upper beak. He must have thought it was a real fish but was the fisherman there when it happened? I reported it to the Park Rangers but no response.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
Kronborg is a castle and stronghold in the town of Helsingør, Denmark. Immortalized as Elsinore in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. We were lucky to have the weather! A local phenomenon means there is often fog in the sound. It added to the drama I feel. We later caught the ferry to Sweden. Caught the train down to Malmo before crossing the Oresund Bridge back to Copenhagen

Neighbours tomcat Snoop underwent surgery ~3 weeks ago to remove skin cancer from the left neck. The vet says this kind of cancer doesn't metastasize. Let's pray he's right.
Because Snoop is scratching the scar, he must wear this protection now. Apparently he doesn't like it. Apart from that, he is recovering well.
That's what he would like you to think but don't believe it for a moment. He has spent about 5 minutes in his cage for the entire 10 days of his boarding experience (his family takes him home tomorrow). Yesterday, he finally got his one suture removed and even better, got rid of his cone. Until he ripped ripped open the suture site 2 minutes later. so, although the abscess site is nearly healed, and will continue to heal without replacing the suture, the vet decided to put the cone back on Moustache in an attempt to slow him down a bit. The bite was right behind his "armpit" where the skin stretches every time this crazy kitten jumps, climbs, sprints, belly crawls, pounces... In reality, the cone doesn't slow him down at all - it just makes him more clumsy.
We are all going to miss Moustache when he goes home but we also feel quite confident we'll be seeing him again. There's no way that this outgoing, adventurous, clumsy, playful kitten isn't going to pick another fight with the wrong cat, like, for instance, the big black cat who lives next door, fall off a banister, land wrong when jumping down from a tree, scratch his eye, rip out a claw, eat something that makes him sick or gets stuck in his GI system... the list goes on and on.

I quite like taking pictures of birds with colour abnormalities, they are unique.
But occasionally you see unwell animals and it is quite sad, as soon as this chaffinch landed it was clear there was something wrong, its walk was unusual and its feet were not right at all.
I did a bit of research and this looks like Viral Wart infection (viral papillomas) that affects Chaffinches apparently around 1% of the population are affected although not as badly as this poor bird.
This bird seemed to fly and eat and apart from the feet looks quite healthy so it seems to be quite well.

GATX SD40-2 900 was parked in Union Pacific's Proviso yard in 2001. Built for the Missouri Pacific, the old EMD wound up in the lease pool after Union Pacific was finished with it.
A camera phone picture. Lily was spayed last Monday, and had a dewclaw (sp) removed. She broke this e-collar, so Mom got a new one last night, it's red. I tried to get a picture this morning, a real picture, but she kept trying to eat my camera, so perhaps another time. :P
Unfortunately Sophie is unwell at the moment. She has lost about a kilo, which is alot for a cat due to a thyroid problem. Fortunately, our pet insurance will pay for Radio Active Iodine Treatment which will cure it completely. She seems brighter this morning however. Some people have criticized us for taking treatment this far. They think it's too much fuss for just a cat. But if you take on a pet you take on the responsibility for a living creature. The vet doesn't think she is suffering at the moment, and that is key to our decision to give her a chance of full recovery.

This old airfield close to Karlstad city center was decommissioned many years ago (in 2000, mainly due to city expansion, noice and poor profitability). Instead there's a golf course and motorcycle driving school on parts of the previous runway.
