Sharp-shinned Hawk, photographed two weeks ago. I woke up early and hiked through the woods of a nearby forest towards a river. I was hoping to photograph mergansers. I didn't have any luck with the mergansers, but I spotted this tiny Sharp-shinned Hawk. It flew around me from branch to branch, hunting chickadees and investigating anything of interest. In this photo, it's perched on a small grape vine.
He took off from the rail and landed a short distance away on a fence post. I followed him, but he didn't like me stalking him, so up and away he goes.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. While capturing another photographer while distracted is 'easy prey' and perhaps a little cheap, despite having an album dedicated to it here, there is no denying that those spiky gloves add a real and present danger to capturing this one! I loved the pose with her camera here, her style and those spikes that just stand out. Enjoy!

Small finch. Sharply pointed bill is pink in summer, grayish-brown in winter. Small head, long wings, and short, notched tail. Adult males in spring and summer are bright yellow with black forehead and wings. Females are dull yellow below and olive above with two distinct wingbars. In winter, they are drab, buffy-brown. Active and acrobatic. Sometimes in large numbers at feeders or on ground below. Found in weedy fields, cultivated areas, roadsides, orchards, and backyards.

Emerson Valley MK. This herbert thought it would be fun to rev up his bike and churn up the grass of this peaceful parkland. When he saw me pointing my camera he sped away - I would like to feel guiltily but I suspect he didn’t care a toss. A sign of the times...?
One of those quick captures as I was driving down the road up against the mountains in the southern end of the Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford.
This bird has a white X above it's beak extending to the top of it's head, somewhat odd. Now it is possible the feathers had been disarrayed by the wind.
Sharpes operate significant school mileage in the Vale of Belvoir from their base at Langar, primarily using ALX400-bodied B7TLs. Former Dublin Bus AV283 - now registered YIB827 - is seen on its way out of Eastwell with the GS1 from Kinoulton to Grantham schools.

I'm still watching a neighbors crab apple tree for waxwings, but a flock of Sharp Tail Grouse are still doing their best to eat all the berries before the trees are found by the waxwings.
I seldom see a Sharpie in the backyard, but today was an exception. This is the first one I've seen in four years. The similar looking Cooper's Hawk is a much more frequent visitor. After attempting to catch one of the small birds at my feeding station - and missing - he perched in this tree to ponder what went wrong.
The amazing sharpness of the Canon 6D image sensor. Zoom in to see the trees on the far rim of this canyon shot, even through the haze.
This bird gave me good tail up positioning front and back. I'll post the latter in the future.
My car has a sunroof, which I had never used for shooting wildlife on the road in front of the car before this. Although it is a bit awkward to do, it has been highly successful since, and I must engage in a bit of self-criticism to figure out why I did not try it earlier. Getting photographs of birds or animals in the road in front of the car has been a chronic problem for me and probably bedevils most wildlife photographers.
When the birds scatter in my yard there is usually a reason!! I spotted this Juvenile Sharp Shinned Hawk and thought...do I stay and save the birds or go in the house to get my camera! Well he flew in a tree and gave me time to get the camera. I captured a few shots before he flew away empty handed!

It is the oldest folly in the country and is a listed building.
While it was tipping down with rain I noticed one of NCT’s driver training Omnidekkas in Beeston Interchange, but by the time I’d got over there it was long gone. However, I was just in time to see a Sharpes bus that had also unusually driven through the interchange, and get my camera ready in time for when it looped back around onto Middle Street.
Sharpes ex-Dublin B7TL ALX400 MIB 658 is seen in Beeston on 27.5.25
Immediately after I made for the shelter and caught a 36 home, from which I glimpsed the driver trainer again on Queens Road through the misted up, rain soaked windows. It was during the time High Road was shut and 36, indigo etc were diverting.
The Gloucester & Sharpness Canal was once the broadest and deepest in the world. Even today, it stands out from other navigations because of its sheer scale and impressive engineering.
I took a stroll along the canal, it had been dry and sunny all day, but half way through my ambling the skies opened and camera and I became rather wet!! anyway, the rain was short lived and the sky delivered this bust of colour just before nightfall. The Sharpness Canal connects Gloucester to Sharpness, allowing boats to bypass a treacherous tidal stretch of the River Severn. The structure in the foreground is part of the swing bridge mechanism.
