RARE SIGHT for me, as kingfishers in Kent, are few and far between, so I have to show this as they are so dazzlingly attractive, and love that dagger-like bill, a favorite among British birders, This perch is used over and over again by this beauty.. and witnessed it catching many very small fish.

one of the very few times in my experience that a sitting giraffe did not get up when approached by a safari vehicle or on foot

The colors of Hummingbirds and newly budding flowers are a sure sign that spring has sprung!
Pictured is a male Anna Hummingbird. The Anna Hummingbird was originally only found on the Pacific slope from Baja California to San Fransisco, but has since expanded it range to Vancouver, British Columbia, east to southern Arizona. The Anna has adapted so well to British Columbia that it stays all seasons. The Rufous Hummingbird visits during the spring for breeding and migrates back south in the late summer.
Photo of Hummingbird taken in Cobble Hill on south east Vancouver island, B.C., Canada. Taken on March 13/19 at 1:32pm
Taken in raw format at 1/1250's at f/8.0, at 400mm, iso 800, manual white balance. No cropping.
Note;
This image is a composite, as I added the Flowering Quince as it is just budding now and adds a little extra interest to the image.
Thought that I was going crazy
Just having one those days yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music you were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'cause baby when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Was tired of running out of luck
Thinking 'bout giving up yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music you were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
'cause baby when I heard you
For the first time
I knew we were meant to be as one
And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music you were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight

As our ship headed northeast from South Georgia, we were treated to one of our last sightings of icebergs and remnants from the world's once largest iceberg, A23a.

I know that you are
Keep it in your sights now
And don’t let it go far"
The fall birch forest has a special beauty of its own. The beautiful birch bark, the yellow leaves with intermingling red maple leaves, and the illuminating light make you want to stand and revel in the splendor of it all!

Happy Sunday morning all,
Every now and then one gets a rare and unexpected sighting on safari. This particular morning was one such occasion.
This is an image of a honey badger, a nocturnal animal which is very rarely seen during daylight hours. It was a first for me and a first for our guide as well. We came across a den and had the pleasure of actually seeing two of them. The one featured here was the active one, running back and forth in a repetitive pattern between a point in the distance and the den.
Getting this image required figuring out the behavioural pattern and getting as low down in the vehicle as possible. Doing these things allowed one to be able to enter the world of this fascinating and rarely seen animal.

The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
My first sight of the snow capped mountains in Montana. I did a little extra processing on this just because it felt right.
Thanks for looking!

Rob takes a moment to watch 40145 pass over Artren Gill Viaduct on 1Z43 Skipton to Appleby, the clouds had parted some 10 minutes before the arrival of the Staycation Express providing some welcome sun for the passage of the train.
There had been a kill during the night and we were not sure if it had been a lion kill or if the hyenas had taken something down . There at least thirty hyenas in the area and some were resting after a full meal while others were still eating and then there were some off guarding a bone that they had been able to grab. Truly an amazing sight to see ant to hear the hyenas in real life is over the top !!
Wishing all a very pleasant and blessed day !!
While exploring a town near the Diros Caves in Greece I turned to find this curious cutie watching my every move
Happy World Hippo Day everyone!
It's not everyday you see a hippo on the land, but sometimes if you're forutnate you'll see one in the early morning in the Maasai Mara, Kenya. This hippo was spotted on one such morning on my last visit to the region.

Three tiny juvenile snails, fattening themselves up for overwintering. The leaf is backlit by sunshine so the translucent eye stalks allow the light to glow through.
The image shows a line-up of three snails/six eye stalks for Macro Mondays theme 'In a Row'.
It was W.C. Fields who said "Never work with children or animals." Perhaps he was referring specifically to snails?
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
