Phaethornis eurynome - Only large hermit hummingbird in its range with black feathers on the throat giving it a scaled appearance. The bill is slightly curved. The back is olive-green and it has a strong mask. The tail is long and white-tipped. Similar to Dusky-throated Hermit, but Scale-throated Hermit is bigger with a longer tail. Found in the understory of humid and montane forests.
Happy Tuesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Bank Voles are almost entirely herbivorous, their diet including dead leaves in winter. However this one seems to be holding a black sunflower seed in its delightfully tiny hands giving a great sense of scale.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
This chickadee was in our big apple tree earlier today, and came down low on the trunk for a nice portrait shoot.
The Scale is the results of a weekend long Light Painting Workshop that Harold Ross, a brilliant fine art photographer, offers. The workshop was intense but -- I loved every minute of it!
Snakes, like other reptiles, have skin covered in scales. Snakes are completely covered with keratinous scales or shields, of various shapes and sizes. The scales protect their body and, aid in locomotion, allow to maintain humidity within it, alter surface characteristics such as roughness to aid in camouflage, and in some cases they are even useful in capturing their prey.

Sometimes you do not realise how big things are , these workmans huts look tiny in these surroundings
The Dinorwic quarry (/dɪˈnɔːrwɪɡ/ din-OR-wig; Welsh: [dɪˈnɔrwɪɡ]; also known as Dinorwig quarry) is a large former slate quarry, now home to the Welsh National Slate Museum, located between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales. It was[when?] the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry near Bethesda.[1]
It covered more than 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each and a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries
And some flowers bokeh for a Peaceful Monochrome Thursday!
This comparatively large hummingbird, which is endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, is easily identified within its range by virtue of it being the only larger, predominantly green and gray-plumaged hermit, with a rather long, decurved, bill. The Scale-throated Hermit inhabits the understory of both lowland and highland forests, as well as old second growth, from southeast Brazil (as far north as southern Bahia) to eastern Paraguay and northeast Argentina, and is recorded at 2250 m at least. It feeds, like most hermit hummingbirds, by trap-lining, although some arthropods are also taken, and the species will periodically also visit feeders to take ‘artificial’ nectar. This hermit is tolerably common in most parts of its range.

There's two paths leading up towards Blencathra's summit, the one on the left goes up via Sharp Edge, the one on the right is an easier safer way.. the choice is yours, whatever you prefer :-)
What could be more tempting, an empty beach, a changeable weather forecast, and a strong wind making things happen. As the season progresses storms denude the beach of it's sand , and the rock strata is more emphasised. It's like walking on pavements of fossils. Fossil Scale is by Georgia Ruth
A little beauty - enjoying the nectar of the sage flower - at Tapiraí, São Paulo.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland, captured in January 2025.
Buchanan Street is the second busiest pedestrian shopping street in the UK, second only to Oxford Street in London, and is home to flagship stores of top fashion brands replete with stunning displays and security guards. It always captures my attention that you can peer down this grotty alleyway as you walk between those flagship stores. It reminds me of the false front architecture of old Wild West towns.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend my Flickr friends.
Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking.
