Khumbu the Snow Leopard photographed at Big Cat Sanctuary, Kent. He is scheduled to live at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire where I understand there may be a lady friend awaiting his arrival.

... and finally she lifted her head so that autofocus spotted her.

I've tried this scene a few times before; most folk shoot the castle from the nearest point, that headland over on the right, but I much prefer this view. It needs a very full tide though, and some drama in the sky. I suffered for my art this morning, over an hour in torrential rain before a break in the cloud gave that bit of hope in the sky and brightened up the river. Was hoping for a little shaft of sunlight to hit the castle but wasn't to be. Oh well, it will still be there next week.

Sri Lankan rusty spotted cat, Nuwara in full on petite stalking mode.
Known as the world's smallest cat, if you visit Google, you will often see attempts to sell these as pets as they are so small, but as you can see from this image, they are lethal, can pack a punch and are not to be messed with. They are near threatened on the IUCN red list, mainly due to loss of habitat.
The original castle was a small fort, built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall who were then Lords of Lorn.[4] Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s. The Stewarts' relative King James IV of Scotland visited the castle, and a drunken bet around 1620 resulted in the castle passing to Clan Campbell. After the castle changed hands between these clans a couple of times, the Campbells finally abandoned it about 1840 when it lost its roof. In 1908 the castle was bought by Charles Stewart of Achara, who carried out basic conservation work. In 1965 Lt. Col. D. R. Stewart Allward acquired the castle and over about ten years fully restored it. Castle Stalker remains in private ownership and is open to the public at selected times during the summer.[5]
Castle Stalker is a picturesque castle built on a tidal islet in Loch Laich, an inlet of Loch Linnhe in Argyll, the Scottish Highlands. It can only be reached by boat but its' scenic setting makes for a very romantic location.

With every placement of her tall slender legs, this Female Great Blue Heron stalks the shallow water for her next meal.
Blue?? Well, this immature Little Blue Heron is in the process of molting away the white feathers of youth and replacing them with the blue-gray plumage of an adult bird.
See the photos in the comments for other views of this beautiful bird.
There is also a photo of one still all in white below (in-flight)

We sure could learn a lesson in patience from these elegant and very patient birds.

Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos ,it is greatly appreciated <3
Stay well my Flickr friends. <3
I watched this green heron stalking prey for quite a long time. Alas, he didn't capture anything while I watched him/her. This one was pretty small. Much smaller than a crow. Though bird references would have you believe otherwise, we see green herons year-round here in the Phoenix area.
There are two bears at the ZooAmerica and hundreds of black vultures that have made the zoo their home. They keep stalking, pecking and biting them most of the time.
Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!šāāļø

White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)
From a visit to the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands on this day in 2018.
Tofu thinks the other cats sleep too much and occasionally he tries to convince them to rather play with him. It's not a very good idea to wake Sethi up, though, and Tofu knows that. That's why he approaches Sethi quite carefully. :)
As this photo includes Tofu's shadow I decided to post it for the Happy Caturday group theme "Light & Shadow". It's probably not the perfect choice but the alternative would have been no photo at all this week.
Happy Caturday !
Castle Stalker is a four-storey tower house or keep. It is set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe.Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland,
Castle Stalker (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal an Stalcaire) is a four-story tower house or keep picturesquely set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. It is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-east of Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland, and is visible from the A828 road about midway between Oban and Glen Coe. The islet is accessible (with difficulty) from the shore at low tide. The name "Stalker" comes from the Gaelic Stalcaire, meaning "hunter" or "falconer".
In recent times, the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team, appearing in their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
After a couple of visits hoping to get a sunrise or sunset of Castle Stalker I realised the weather wasn't going to change so my idea for the shot changed and I headed out to the castle with my waterproofs on! The rain came in handy as the mountains in the background completely disappeared!!
