A bit of focus on locomotive builder Sharp Stewart and Company today - works no.2961 was a 3'6" gauge 2-4-0 built in Manchester in 1881 for the Staats Spoorwegen (Indonesia). Seen here 97 years later at Kanigoro (?) with a passenger train from Madiun to Ponorogo.
Sharp, Stewart and Company was established in 1843, initially based in Manchester, England before moving to Glasgow, Scotland in 1888. In 1903, having built over 5000 locomotives, the company amalgamated with Neilson, Reid and Company and Dübs and Company to form the North British Locomotive Company.
As I took my friend from out of town around the city of London I decided that I would shot this again. I ended up liking the angle better this time, so here it is.
I am off to stay at a friends flat in Glasgow for 5 days then we head off the the Isle of Skye for 5 days of sailing. I am not sure how much I will get posted on flickr while I am gone but will do my best. I hope everyone is enjoying there summer.
We had a male sharp shinned hawk buzzing around our feeders.
He spotted one bird and they swooped around the yard.
He missed but kept coming back.
Based on its hunting skills I think it was a young bird.
Shot through a window.
Accipiter striatus
Female Sharp-shinned Hawks are about a third bigger and heavier than males. This is a typical pattern for many hawks and owls, but otherwise rare in the bird world.
I finally found something useful (or at least decorative) to do with these pesky sweetgum seed pods.
Hope you're all staying warm today...brrrrrr!

Forgive me when I post too many photos of the grouse!
On April 9th 3 friends and I drove south of the city to a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. This was my second visit to the lek in a number of years and I might not be back there again!
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all appreciated!
Wish this one was in our garden! I used to have a wool winter coat this colour with a black velvet collar! That was when I was young and "glamorous"- ;-)
After a sharp rain shower has caught workers on their way home from the office, the sun regains control of the city while the dark clouds move south.
Outside Victoria station, SouthEastern Networkers, themselves now considered towards the end of their career, go about their work while the dark sky looms over the refurbished Battersea Power Station. Note the chimney lift, visible atop the nearest of the former power station chimneys, which now offers a 360 degree viewing experience.

There is a lot of small birds, rabbits, and other small mammals living along the Courtenay River estuary - a perfect haunt for several kinds of raptors. Looking high up and through branches revealed this hawk. The consensus of local bird watchers was for Sharp-shinned so we're going with that.
Still pumping the water out of the golf course over 2 weeks after the flooding rains. Pacifica Pier and Mt. Tamalpais in the distance.
A testshot for the decker coming in behind, one of Sharpes' very smart Van Hools came in over Trent Bridge.
