I'm not always a fan of air shows, but this one I liked. A talented group of pilots...
Seen in Virginia Beach, Sunday June 1st.
Ever since Niqui's glasses broke while away travelling, I always carry this small handy pen-like precision screwdriver set, with various heads for various tasks.
C505, 442s2 and BRM001 depart Maldon with the return trip from yesterdays train, this time heading off to Yanco as train 2343.
I left home (30 minutes away) and rushed down here to see it leaving the mill, only to get around to the curve and put the drone up for it to straight away come into the shot. Precision gunzelling at it's best.

Un buen lugar para compartir con amigos donde hay mesas para jugar al ajedrez, de Pool y de de Ping Ping. También Metegol.
Lo que probé fueron las papás fritas con queso cheedar que me encantaron. Un ambiente bohemio y pintoresco
This is literally in my back yard. I have to admit, it looks a tad bit more wild and untamed than it does in real life :)

This snap was taken a few days ago when the Red Arrows were performing over the Solent, just before the start of an America’s Cup World Series practice day.
I had cycled the last few miles down to the coast in an effort to beat the traffic and was therefore a bit restricted in carrying capacity and weight. Unfortunately, before departing, when I grabbed my camera I didn’t think to change my usual wide angle lens for something a little more appropriate for a distant air display! As a consequence, this snap has been cropped down by a huge amount.
Well that’s my excuse anyway!

Some interesting facts about the Roseate Spoonbills...
The Roseate Spoonbill is one of the newest birds to join the Birdorable family. Here are some fun facts about this unique species.
1. The collective noun for spoonbills is bowl. Have you ever seen a bowl of Roseate Spoonbills?
2. Roseate Spoonbills get their pink color from their food! They feed on crustaceans who in turn have fed on algae.
3. In parts of their range, especially in Florida, Roseate Spoonbills are sometimes confused with another large pink wading bird: the flamingo.
4. There are six species of spoonbill in the world; the Roseate Spoonbill is the only one with pink plumage. Roseate Spoonbill
5. The Roseate Spoonbill is also the only spoonbill species found in the Americas.
6. The beaks of chick spoonbills are straight; the spoon-shape grows as the chick develops.
7. Spoonbills use their specialized bills to feed. They sweep their open bills through the water, and when a prey item like a fish or insect comes between the mandibles, the bill snaps shut.
8. The oldest wild Roseate Spoonbill was discovered in the Florida Keys in 2006. The bird had been banded in 1990, and was an amazing 16 years old. The previous known longevity record for the species was seven years.
9. Roseate Spoonbills are highly social. They feed with each other and with other wading birds. They also nest in colonies and fly in flocks.
Installation of 7 steel cables for a new wood chips conveyor system. Each cable was about 700 meters long. Flying at extremely low altitude and in real "slow motion" above a large industrial site requires maximim precision. Only most experienced pilots will be permitted to such a job. This mission was completed in 4 hours, a conventional intallation on the ground would have taken several days.

This is why I still go to airshows after all these years. There are few things as impressive as this kind of precision formation flying. You can wish for a better weather day or different winds but you still need to have great pilots and training to see a grouping like this. I don't even mind the featureless white cloudy background because this still reaches my on a beauty scale due to the sights and sounds of their performance.
So named due to the requirement for precise focusing and control of depth of field to get this shot to work.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #73 "Precision", this caliper was originally obtained for a physics lab course back in my university days. It now finds some rare usage in my woodworking hobby, but mostly sits unused, a sad relic of what might have been...
This detail of the little engine, "Wee Georgie Wood", shows how beautifully cared for it is. Precision engineering at its best, the full flowering of the industrial revolution.
A Black Skimmer preens on the beach at Cape May Point. The width of the bill is amazing and the fact that they can use it so precisely is even more amazing

This young male juvenile had been actively flying around lakes but appeared unable or willing to fish but came across a Dragonfly nymph for split minute before flying off again.
