This photo was taken near Lac Carbon in the Vallée des Merveilles, located within Mercantour National Park. It shows a shallow alpine stream surrounded by rocky terrain, grassy patches, and scattered evergreen trees. In the background, a prominent mountain peak rises under a clear blue sky with some cloud cover. The water is transparent, revealing stones and pebbles beneath the surface. The area is typical of high-altitude alpine environments, with minimal vegetation and exposed geological features.
These large wading birds are a Schedule 1 species. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they're more greyish-brown.
Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak (which helps the sexes to avoid competing for food with each other).
They're very similar to bar-tailed godwits, which breed in the Arctic. Black-tailed godwits have longer legs, and bar-tailed godwits don't have striped wings. As the names suggest, the tail patterns are different, too. What they eat: Insects, worms and snails, but also some plants, beetles, grasshoppers and other small insects during the breeding season(Courtesy RSPB).

In the calm early morning at Kota Tinggi, a lone boatman glides silently across the still river, reflecting the sky above. Surrounded by quiet trees and soft light, his gentle movement becomes part of a peaceful rhythm between nature and motion — a fleeting, serene moment where life flows in silence.
Some River Liffey rainbowing in Dublin the other night, the Samuel Beckett bridge projecting some nice light reflections.
As the sun dips below the horizon, Masjid India in Kuching glows like a beacon of peace. The reflection on the water, the vibrant sky, and the gentle silhouette of a boat tell a story of stillness and spirituality.
In the mystical Vallée des Merveilles, nestled among jagged peaks and ancient rocks, Lac Fourca lies in perfect stillness. Its deep blue waters reflect the surrounding alpine landscape like a mirror, while the sparse vegetation and rugged terrain evoke the raw beauty of high-altitude wilderness. Under a clear sky with the moon quietly watching overhead, this scene captures the timeless serenity and geological grandeur of Mercantour National Park—a place where nature whispers through stone and silence.
One of a series of shots taken at one of Roy Rimmer’s workshops in Northwest England. Thoroughly enjoyable experience where I learned a lot, thanks to Roy’s extensive knowledge and experience.
The wren is a tiny brown bird, although it is heavier and not as slim as the even smaller goldcrest. It is dumpy, almost rounded, with a fine bill, quite long legs and toes, very short round wings and a short, narrow tail which is sometimes cocked up vertically. For such a small bird it has a remarkably loud voice.
It is the most common UK breeding bird, although it suffers declines during prolonged, severely cold winters. What they eat:
Insects and spiders (Courtesy RSPB).
