I saw this group of Ring-necked ducks at Commonwealth Lake yesterday. I had heard that some folks have seen a golden eye there; although I didn't see it, I was happy to see these!

"Ring, ring the bells
wake the town
everyone is sleeping
shout at the crowd
wake them up
this anger is deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happen
I can't see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I new longer feel my God is watching
Break, break the code
Concentrate,
let the door swing open
See, through all my walls
All my floors, now I'm in deeper than sleep
When you let me fly,
grew my own wings,
now I'm tall as the sky
When you let my drown
grew gills and fins
Now I am as deep as the sea
When, you let my die,
my spirits free
There's nothing challenging me"

My first migratory duck shot of the season - always exciting.
The storm water ponds and lakes in parks and neighborhoods here are the first to open up and provide a landing place for the early arriving migrating waterfowl giving them a place to rest and feed before the melt of the natural lakes in this area and farther north.

The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle about 6 miles north-east of Stromness on the Mainland, the largest island in Orkney, Scotland. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney.
The Rose-ringed Parakeet Parakeets have now also reached my hometown. Last summer I saw (and heard) them for the first time in our neighborhood. This week they came by regularly,

One, out of so many reasons why I love living at the beach! There is always something to practice on!
I spent a happy hour or so photographing small waders on the shores of Thornham Point, Norfolk, over the weekend. The best technique seemed to be to find a likely spot just above the line of the outgoing tide, lie on the wet sand and wait for them to come to me.

Verse 1
Lanterns lighting up the town,
Peace on earth is all around,
Everything is calm on Christmas Eve.
There's goodwill in the air tonight,
Angels sing by candle light,
Their voices carried on the wind.
When carol singers gather round,
When I hear that festive sound,
I wanna join with them and sing!
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
Verse 2
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Give me mistletoe; it's the season to be jolly,
Wrapping presents, writing cards, helping decorate the tree,
But there's one thing that makes it all for me.
When carol singers gather round,
Angel voices fill the town,
It's like the world is joining in!
(Noel, Noel, Noel)
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
Middle 8
Christmas Eve,
Still believe,
So excited,
Can't sleep,
When the morning comes,
Church bells ring,
And he's been!
Chorus
They sing a merry song and we all sing along,
A festive melody that tells us Christmas time is here.
See the stars tonight; they're shining bright,
'Cause it's Christmas time and it's my favourite time of year.
And it's my favourite time of year
(Noel, Noel)

Ringed Plover - Charadrius Hiaticula
The common ringed plover's breeding habitat is open ground on beaches or flats across northern Eurasia and in Arctic northeast Canada. Some birds breed inland, and in western Europe they nest as far south as northern France. They nest on the ground in an open area with little or no plant growth.
If a potential predator approaches the nest, the adult will walk away from the scrape, calling to attract the intruder and feigning a broken wing. Once the intruder is far enough from the nest, the plover flies off.
Common ringed plovers are migratory and winter in coastal areas south to Africa. In Norway, geolocators have revealed that adult breeding birds migrate to West Africa. Many birds in Great Britain and northern France are resident throughout the year.
The ringed plover is a small, dumpy, short-legged wading bird. It is brownish grey above and whitish below. It has a orange bill, tipped with black, orange legs and a black-and-white pattern on its head and breast. In flight, it shows a broad, white wing-stripe.
They breed on beaches around the coast, but they have also now begun breeding inland in sand and gravel pits and former industrial sites. Many UK birds live here all year round, but birds from Europe winter in Britain, and birds from Greenland and Canada pass through on migration.

UK breeding:
5,400 pairs
