Beautiful morning on the Daintree looking for birds and crocodiles. Success in both counts.
Daintree River, Queensland, Australia. October 2022.
The true story that led visionary automotive engineer Caroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and gifted racing driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to build a groundbreaking racing car for Ford Motor Company capable of overthrowing the racing team's supremacy. 'Enzo Ferrari on the mythical circuit of the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1966...
In 1966 with a hat-trick of the American cars, the success is present but not everything goes as planned…
but the Ford GT40 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans again in 1967, 1968 and 1969, and remains the only American car to count victories in La Sarthe.

Nankeen Kestrel (Falco cenchroides)
While I was at Sneydes Rd. on Friday the male Kestrel was working the 'front' paddock when his female companion arrived over the 'back' paddock. He caught a Skink, which you will see clutched between his talons if you look closely.
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning
and goes to bed at night and in between
does what he wants to do

From earlier this year. One of the 3 recently fledged juvenile Common Kingfishers with a tasty (albeit tiny) fish. You have to start somewhere.
You can tell this female is a juvenile by the dark feet and the remains of the white aiming spot on the end of the bill.
Mama Red Necked Grebe shows me her eggs for the first time. I believe there are three. I went to check the nest this morning after a lot of rain and very strong winds yesterday. Thankfully the nest is about two inches / five centimetres above the waterline and there is no rain in the forecast.

It was a breezy day with the flag flapping back and forth, and it took me multiple tries to get a shot with the flag in the center with both men visible. But on my seventh try... Success! 😋
A royal spoonbill catches lunch at the lagoon. It is a 4 km walk from our friends house around the lagoon and beach and back to the house but always some pictures to be taken!
Hope you have a successful Friday and thanks very much if you have time for a comment.
The selfie with the boys seems to have been a success.

From my series "Shot from the Beer Table"
Four Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) exploring their lucks in the intertidal mudflats with perfect following up moves. The first one got its catch in the beak right after taking it off from the water surface with the typical style while the rest of the three were following the same pattern of moves in the backdrop. The symmetry of moves and the Bokeh transition with the hint of Depth of field are the special effects in this unique composition. Pics was taken from Patibunia beach, West Bengal, India.
I am dripping wet...not an easy job...curses on barbie! she put a spell on these shoes, i am sure of it!!
In my previous post, a snowy egret had struck at a tiny fish as it flew by the water’s surface hoping for a fly-by catch. It was indeed successful and after gulping this tiny minnow down it continued its search for more.
On this particular morning, the tide was coming in and there was a feeding frenzy like I had not witnessed before. Literally a hundred or more birds were feeding in the shallow water feasting on the bounty of small fish. There were snowy egrets, great egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons and white ibis to name a few. There was also a pod of baby tarpon feeding nearby, although they definitely didn’t fit the bill of “small fish!”
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

A beautiful kingfisher (Alcedo athis, jégmadár) caught the prey, just emerging from water.
We were sitting in a great hide though the open front, lack of heating and the -3 degree Celsius temperature made it a tough challenge to take photos! :) We had bad luck again with weather...dense fog settled over the lake seriously impacting the quality of photos.
If you like this photo, your faves, comments and observations are more than welcome!
But NO AWARDS, NO BANNERS, NO IMAGES, NO GROUP REFERENCES where you saw it, please.

I drove through Proctor happy to see a limestone train queued up on the mainline waiting for a signal down the hill. Did not take long for this train to get the light and start off from the yard. Plenty of time though to head down to this overpass adjacent to I-35 and see the trio of Dash 8s with DMIR hoppers. This was the last shot of the day - a day spent shooting between Ranier and Proctor. It was a great success.
After many years of putting up a variety of birdhouses we finally have a nesting pair of swallows who have taken up our offer and moved in to one of them. They are very attentive parents and are constantly checking the contents of their new home which I assume is one or two eggs.? Two years ago we did find a flying squirrel nesting in one of the other bird houses. The flying squirrel is nocturnal so we had no idea he/she was there until I went to take it down for some maintenance. I almost fell off the ladder when he/she jumped on my shoulder.
It's not much of a photo but I couldn't help but share our delight at our new tenants.
I've had great fun testing out the slow motion video function on my new camera on this pair - but - I am definitely not a videographer.
P.S. I don't own a 300mm f2.8 lens so I don't know why the EXIF info on this shot says that was what it was taken with ... wish I did own one. The photo was taken with a Sigma/Bigma 50-500mm Minolta a-mount with a mount adaptor.

Success is often imagined as loud celebrations and endless applause.
The truth is quieter. It's the long nights, impossible choices, and moments spent alone with nothing but your thoughts. The champagne isn't for showing off it's a reminder of every challenge that led to this seat. Some people inherit a throne. Others build one.
