Moorhen, Bushy Park, Dublin.
This was taken in a narrow shady part of the pond between the shore and the island where there is a lot of ivy and other greenery.
Red Kite - Milvus Milvus
Persecuted to near extinction in the UK, the Red Kite has made a tremendous comeback thanks to reintroduction programmes and legal protection. Seeing one of these magnificent birds soaring high in the sky is a true delight.
Once a very rare bird that could only be found in Central Wales, the Red Kite has been successfully reintroduced to several areas of the UK and can now be seen in Wales, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and the Chilterns. A large, graceful bird of prey, it soars over woods and open areas, its distinctive shape and 'mewing' calls making it easy to identify. Red Kites were routinely persecuted as hunters of game and domestic animals, but they are in fact scavengers, eating carrion and scraps, and taking only small prey like rabbits.
Red kites were common in Shakespearean London, where they fed on scraps in the streets and collected rags or stole hung-out washing for nest-building materials. Shakespeare even referred to this habit in 'The Winter's Tale' when he wrote: 'When the kite builds, look to lesser linen'. The nest of a red kite is an untidy affair, often built on top of an old Crow's nest. It is lined with sheep's wool and decorated with all kinds of objects like paper, plastic and cloth.
Thank to all who take the time to view, Comment or Fav, It is Always Appreciated.
I find it hard to shed a tear
Oh, you brought it on yourself, my dear
And wrong, yes, I may be
Don't you dare, don't you dare leave no light on, no light on for me
'Cause, baby, I ain't comin' home
Oh, but you know it hurts me, it hurts me to be alone
Yeah, it hurts me, baby
A hundred years that ain't never gonna ease
Oh, I'm hearing all the things, all the things, all the things that I just can't believe
But I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
All the pain that, baby, that this heart, this heart just cannot hide
But you know that this pain starts in my heart
And love tears us apart
You won't find me down on, on my knees, baby
You won't find me bendin' over backwards, baby
Just to please, show me, please
'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
Seeing it, oh, for the first time
Seeing it for the first time
In my life
Hey, it's in my life
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I used to dream
Of a better day that you know, that you know never, ever came
"Sorry," that don't mean nothin' to me
Oh, baby, I'm gone, I'm out the door
And you know that's the way that things gotta, gotta be
So, baby, you know I've done my time
I didn't know that lovin' you was such a crime
And you won't find me down on my knees
No, no, no, no, no, no
You won't find me bendin' over backwards, baby
Just to please, show me, baby, one thing
Seeing things for the first time
Seeing it, ow, for the very first time
Seeing it for the first time
Seeing it, baby
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life
Oh, baby, you know, you know, you know, you know it's my life

Pretty hardy plants, a rocky shoreline, dark sand, foamy sea on the way out to the blue south pacific ocean and a cloudy sky.
Printed this but the lower part was a bit too dark ... here's a humorous photo of Frank holding it in the garden :)
I can never pass up a reflection! This was taken on a wonderfully calm evening at Frank Lake, Alberta.

Looking backwards through binoculars at two women looking through binoculars... I think they are birdwatchers.

Thanks so much for all the support! I really do appreciate it! 😊
Sorry for the lack of viewing and commenting this week, but I've been nursing a stinking cold and an horrendous tooth abcess at the same time, so many antibiotics and painkillers I'm rattling
I'm enjoying seeing the new growth in my wife's garden, including the grape hyacinths springing up through the ivy.
For some reason this year we have had a lot of grey mares having foals they had 3 in this field, but they would not stand together.

Birds migrating through the South Llano River State Park must think they've found fast food heaven with four different, well-supplied blinds to choose from. This Spotted Towhee picked the Agarita blind. At least for its morning snack.
Not really ... actually the opposite, I had the feeling I was on holiday (which I was) sitting outside Beach Babylon with a red Vespa and a matching menu.
I'm a little bit in love with Welly's Oriental Parade on a nice day.
