With stealth movement of those long legs and a very sharp beak it can be easy to strike and catch your prized lunch.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and spectacular day dear flickr friends !
I've been watching a pair of Western Bluebirds at a nest box. The babies have hatched and now both parents are busy working to feed them. Most of the time the food tidbits are small spiders and bugs. I wonder how a tiny baby managed to down this rather large centipede?
Shine on, shine the light on me
In all of my life so that much more I see
In the light of his love
In the light of reflection
What a world this world
Sometimes oh so it seems
Eyes to the sky
In the silver gift friendship
Glittering prize
Is the price of lost love
I've had this idea in my mind for quite some time now but never really had the time to put it all together. So when I saw these skeletons, I was reminded of that vision I had in mind!

I thought this Double-crested Cormorant had bitten off more than he could chew with this large Mullet. But he sure fooled me and didn't seem to have any problem getting it down in just a few gulps.
Great day out watching hawfinches in damp dreary weather. Needless to say the images are rubbish so here's another shot from the archives.
One of natures finest sights. A beautiful barn owl hunting at dusk a fabulous event unless of course you are a vole.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
Slightly over a year ago a few of us drove to Conowingo Dam in Maryland and stayed there for few days to capture Bald Eagle fishing spectacle. Every year between November and January plenty of migrating Bald Eagles congregate near the dam as it provides great opportunity to fish during the colder months. Though it wasn't not a great year for Eagle action due to heavy rain prior to our arrival, we still managed to get some excellent photos of Eagles fishing and fighting. Here's the photo of an Eagle that flew down from a tree by the side of the dam and caught a fish from the river. It happened so fast that I missed the initial shot of it actually picking up the fish.
Thank you all for you support and visit! Hope you all have a lovely mid week! Happy Wing Wednesday too!

The new library in Magdalene College, Cambridge, has been named the UK's best new building, winning the prestigious Riba Stirling Prize for architecture.
The "exquisitely detailed" building by Níall McLaughlin Architects is open 24 hours a day, as part of the 700-year-old University of Cambridge college.
For Crazy Tuesday "Libraries and Books" theme.
These are old school prizes that I doubt were ever read. The top one was given in 1885 as an arithmetic prize to a cousin of my grandfather, and the David Livingstone book was his history and geography prize in 1914.

I spent time with a pair of obliging Sacred Kingfishers hunting on a farm roadside next to the Snowy River. They demolished an amazing amount of crickets, dragonflies and spiders. Here was one prized 8-legged catch. It looked particularly juicy.
Snowy River Country, VIC
A White-browed Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus schisticeps) was scanning for the insects under the barks in an early morning. Here it eventually got a desired catch in its yellow curved beak holding like a display of its prize in an upside down posture. The backdrop light green Bokeh and the brown barks of the branch made it a something very special in composition. We both had our prize in that morning. Pics was taken from a forest in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India.
carol you can either keep your original prize or you have the option of choosing another prize since you won..
This Red-bellied woodpecker got its prize from the gravel trail and moved to this tree to hide it. I can't tell what the prize is but I'm sure it was worth the trouble. This was the day preceding a temperature drop and the avian activity was at a high level. The skies were overcast making soft diffused light.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone
Not much to brag about but it was the biggest catch of the morning. Great Blue Heron on Horsepen Bayou.
A Mature Bald Eagle keeping both eyes on the prize. This fisherman had one spotted on the ice and was moving in for an easy meal. It was amazing how far out this guy spotted the fish on the ice and went into attack mode. This has been my best year ever for photographing migrating eagles.

Headed off down to Lavender Bay Jetty on Sydneys North Shore this fine Sunday morning, with a good mate.
Got there at 6am to scout the place out, as I hadn't been there before. Glad I did, as it was a pretty busy spot at stupid o clock tbh.
Fishermen, Environment protection Boats and officers (Thats the guy at the ned of the jetty, about to direct a boat out of shot to its destination) harbour kayakers (to the right of the shot) and a TV crew filming a news segment on the Environment Protection guys, to name but a few. Then there were the walkers / joggers, dog walkers...it just went on and on. Oh, and a few photgraphers...
Anyhow, weatherzone got it right again with 30% cloud predicted (I want a job with these guys...!!)
Great cloud cover, with the obvious horizon break over to our left, to allow the sun to light up those clouds over our heads just before Sunrise at around 6:50am
A great morning out with a great mate.
Hope you like "Glittering Prize"
Cheers, Mike

The marketing for a certain soft drinks company reaches far and wide, even to the poorest oases in the Sahara Desert.
For this youngster at Aioun Lebgar, it is a prized possession, long drained of its original liquid, but will be filled with well water, and drunk with a proud flourish as if it contained “the real thing”.

These are my prizes from Major B's contest. Thank you to Major and Minifigs'R Us for the great prizes! The MRU torsos are great quality with lots of detail, I highly recommend them! Also the Fiat Revelli Modello 1914 mod that Major Bonacelli has put together is really nice.
Thanks again for picking me as a winner :-)
Here is the final installment in my series of prizes for the Guild Evolution category of the 2024 Summer Joust
The settlement’s new dragon comrades gained them quite the reputation in the coming years. Intelligent and loyal, they were well suited to working together with the cartographers, hunters and trackers of the settlement. Together they could defeat even the most bloodthirsty of beasts that sometimes ventured out of Alnya’s deep forest, quickly deliver important messages, or find missing people. Their services were in high demand and earned them many generous rewards. And so an Adventurer’s Guild was formed where their many unique talents could be put to use solving problems others couldn’t. A large fortress was built with harbor, town, and farms springing up around it to house and supply the increasing number of recruits who came from afar to try and prove their mettle and gain admission.

The 9 book report options are listed on the wheel and if a teen spins, they must report that week as the wheel tells them to. If they are lucky, they might win a prize instead. No matter what, as an incentive, they receive an extra raffle ticket for the drawing at the end of the summer for Disneyland tickets or skateboard & helmet.

For 'Smile on Saturday' theme of 'One Word'
1928 and my mother was given this copy of 'Tannhauser' as a School Form Prize. Published in 1911 in London by George G Harrap & Co. Ltd. the volume is covered in green suede leather with gold embossing and gilded top page edges.
The book is showing its age, so am I and I'm not over 100 years old. The leather is rubbed especially on the spine but the pages are fresh and clean.
A lovely prize to have had for a 17-year-old., especially for her as there is a bookplate and the school coat of arms embossed in gilt on the back of the book cover.
So just taken out of my book cupboard, stood on my desk-top, lit with a couple of lamps, and photographed with the first camera to hand - a 2001 early digital camera.
