The sunset is fading as two white egrets make a smooth landing on the treetops as they find a place to roost for the evening.
Hadeda ibis (Bostrychia hagedash) is an ibis native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Its name comes from its loud call, which sounds a bit like “ha-da-da.” Hadadas can be especially noisy early in the morning and at dusk. From the deck of Tanguila Mara Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya. Conservation status: Least Concern
At Martinmere, Burscough, Lancashire.
In the autumn and winter, the WWT wetlands here are home to 50,000+ Pink-footed Geese (Anser brachyrhynchus), which migrate down from Iceland.
During the day, they disperse to find food. At sundown, they all come back to roost during the course of an hour or so.
It's a magnificent and noisy event. A rather Turner-esque sunset, too.

Great-horned Owl sitting in it's favorite roost. Once in a while you may see the mate together. Bucks County PA.
A photo I took some time ago when the rape fields were at their best. This oak tree is a roost for pigeons and the shot is taken on a zoom. I wonder how many birds you can spot?
The "committee" of Turkey Vultures numbered around 30 and roosted overnight in 2 large, dead trees in the middle of a swampy area. Turkey Vultures migrate south in the fall and often are seen in "Kettles" as they soar in circular patterns and ride the air currents in their southern migration. This committee departed when one Vulture took off (declared the meeting adjourned LOL) and within a moment the rest all followed along.

At sunset thousands, and thousands of gulls come to roost on Ullswater only to find a nearby field again at sunrise. A spectacular sight
The pier in Aberystwyth is a well known roosting place for thousands of starlings. Every morning they go out in to the surrounding countryside to find food but return to their pier safe haven at night.
Sunset on the last day of November.
Look close and you can see the Crows heading to wherever they roost!
When I visited Stockbridge Down, there were a spectacular number of chalkhill blues. In the evening, they started settling down close together to roost on the tops of flower-heads. I think this strategy is to try to avoid night-time predators such as voles.
We're in lockdown again, so it's time to work with old images. I processed two photos differently and then combined them for this BW photo of where pelicans meet to relax and groom. Taken somewhere in Florida.
This is the split rail fence that borders a portion of the Mill Valley Dog Park and is probably the most colorful fence you'll find anywhere, with lichen growing along its entire length.
I don't know what Flickr has done with the EXIF data, but I set the aperture at f22 for this shot, in order to get the entire length of the fence in sharp focus. Whatever Flickr's problem is, I hope they fix it soon because, whenever I see an interesting image, I immediately check the EXIF data to see how the shot was accomplished, and I really miss not having it.
HFF!
