Greenshank - Tringa Nebularia
The greenshank breeds on the boggy moors and ancient peatlands of Scotland. But it can be spotted elsewhere in the UK as it passes through on migration - look around lakes, marshes and the coast.
A large, elegant sandpiper, the greenshank feeds in shallow waters, often chasing small invertebrates and fish, which it hunts by sight. During summer, greenshank are found only on moors and bogs in Scotland, but during migration, they can be found across the UK on inland freshwater lakes and marshes, and coastal wetlands.
Greenshank can be distinguished from similar-sized waders like redshank and godwits by the colour of their legs: grey-green. Adults are olive-grey above and silvery-white below, with dark streaking on the breast. Greenshank have long, slightly upturned, grey bills.
A passage migrant and scarce visitor winter visitor to shallow wetlands inland and around the coast. Nests on the boggy 'flow country' of northern Scotland.
Scientific name: Onychoprion anaethetus

As per Wikipedia:
The bridled tern (Onychoprion anaethetus) is a seabird of the family Laridae. It is a bird of the tropical oceans. The scientific name is from Ancient Greek. The genus comes from onux meaning "claw" or "nail", and prion, meaning "saw". The specific anaethetus means "senseless, stupid".
This species breeds in colonies on rocky islands. It nests in a ground scrape or hole and lays one egg. It feeds by plunge-diving for fish in marine environments, but will also pick from the surface like the black tern and the gull-billed tern. It usually dives directly, and not from the "stepped-hover" favoured by the Arctic tern.

This buck stops to stretch and rub his face into this spruce bough. They do this as a means to leave their scent , secretions from eye and facial glands, on the bough and leave their mark. They will also nibble on the branch tips and their scent gets left that way as well. This "scrape" is part of their behaviour to mark territory and attract does.

en présence de la femelle le male gravelot adopte une position particulière
il se tapit avec la poitrine plaquée au sol, relève la partie postérieure de son corps , déploie la queue en éventail et la remue d'un coté à l'autre en la dressant et l'abaissant comme un fanion
pendant ce temps il émet un son particulier et gratte également le sol de ses pattes en formant la petite dépression ou seront pondus les œufs
la femelle peut aussi pratiquer ce comportement

OUT through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.
The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.
And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question 'Whither?'
Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

Rather distant, I was nonetheless pleased to see this Marsh Harrier settled in the reeds overlooking one of the freshwater scrapes at Titchfield Haven. Looking at the seed heads and the Marsh Harrier's breast plumage, I marvel once again at Nature's camouflage.

In Fact I Love That Fawn
In fact I love that fawn,
cutting roses in your garden—
which is why I’ve earned your wrath.
If you could see him,
the others would never find you.
“Scrape me some honey from your hive,”
he said. “I’ll have mine from your tongue,”
I replied. Then he bristled and said to me, sullen:
“And sin before the living God?”
“The sin’s on me,” I answered, “my lord.”

With tree branches scraping down the sides of the former Santa Fe GP7U, the hogger aboard a westbound Maumee & Western freight keeps a close eye on his train as it proceeds over some rough track between Okolona and Jewell on the former Wabash Fifth District. While it may be hard to believe, this shot is as level as possible. Scenes like this were common in the "good old days" of MAW operation. Pioneer Rail took over in 2013 and has made substantial improvements in the time since then.
I'll be posting a few more shots of the MAW over the next few days.

Re-Edit of a shot from Osaka, Japan in 2014. I went there for vacation and of course to take a lot of pictures. This was my 3rd time to Japan, but I want to go back - hopefully soon.

Well since March 23rd we’ve been cooped up for the most part and only let out for the govt designated 1hr trot round the park.

...here’s my barrel scraping pic.
A tree rat basically, foraging for the crumbs I left on our balcony in the hope of attracting a nice duet of Robins. Having said that the Robin is well known in the avian world for being a vicious little b@stard.
The squirrel is now a regular customer, making the super leap from a nearby tree and landing less than gracefully onto the balcony.
Cute and less nervous than the birds, he and I shared a Maryland Cookie 🍪 ... then I remembered the bloody things are vermin and covered in fleas and ticks. The squirrel not the cookie.
Maybe it’s time for the egg and 2 forks pic?
