I felt lucky to be able to observe an oystercatcher looking for food. Here he pulls out a sandworm (Alitta virens ) and you can see the tiny droplets of water when you zoom in.
Ich hatte das Glück, einen Austernfischer bei der Suche nach Futter zu beobachten. Hier zerrt er einen Seeringelwurm (Alitta virens) aus dem Boden und man kann die kleinen Wassertröpfchen sehen, wenn man hineinzoomt.
Osprey with a successful catch photographed from the observation deck on Lake Hancock off of Alligator Alley Trail in Circle B Bar Reserve located in Polk County Lakeland Florida U.S.A.
The ospreys’ extensive breeding range extends to all the continents except South America (where it occurs widely in winter) and the Antarctic. The North American population declined greatly after 1947 because of the eggshell-thinning effects of DDT residues but began to recover after the pesticide was banned in 1972. Exterminated from the British Isles by 1910, the osprey reappeared there as a successfully breeding species in the 1950s and is now firmly reestablished in Scotland. Britannica

And he was successful. Seconds later, he caught a Zitting Cisticola for a meal. This is a migratory raptor from Central Asia that come in large numbers during winters to India. They can be commonly seen across the countryside and mostly in grasslands where they roost communally.
We sighted one on this fence preening and he spent around 5 minutes cleaning himself up. Then suddenly he dived flew behind the vehicle and landed in a far away field. He had a Zitting Cisticola, a small warbler in his claws which he finished pretty quickly.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

Sasha and I found this scared and hungry fellow in the dumpster by North Point Marina. The dumpster was very big and he couldn't get out without help.
To find long piece of wood around the marina was almost impossible, so we ran to the woods next to the marina and found old big branch on the ground.
It was very heavy but my 9 year old didn't complain so I didn't :-).
The second we put the branch into the dumpster he came out. I didn't have a chance get my camera.
He looked at us for couple seconds and ran away.

Deventer has had a very successful past that has made it one of the jewels of the Ijssel that it is today, founded in 768 by an English missionary Lebuinus it received city status in 956 and has never looked back since.
One of the first cities to receive a printing press the city has always had a love for the printed word and hosts the largest book fair in Europe as well as one of the largest Dickens festivals, the Dickens festival regularly attracts 125, 000 to this city of considerably less people.
Being a very bookish city it also established a renowned Latin school that boasted famous graduates like the humanist and theologian Desiderius Erasmus who attended the school as a child.
Deventer’s success from the sea came to a close with the silting up of the river Ijssel in the 16th century forcing the city from the sea trade and cargo management to working with metals and industrial production of everything from cigars to mattresses, today its main industry is central heating manufacture and the famous home to the honey cake.
I took this on September 19th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 38mm 1/6s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Having successfully traversed the spiral tunnels and the Kicking Horse Pass, CP 1401 winds its way through the S curves on the approach to control point Ottertail. Having shot this location in the past, I knew this scene with the peak of Mt. Carnarvon in Yoho National Park off in the distance was a must when I was location planning for this trip.

I'm not totally sure that this car is chassis SL76/148, but a search on the internet for Chris Beighton throws up a lot of information regarding his purchase of this car, so I'm assuming the car seen here is the same as referenced online.
And if that is the case, the car has quite a history, getting written off in 1969 at the Nurburgring 1000km by driver Rothstein, and Lola replacing the car with a new chassis using the same chassis number. The car was then crashed again at Zeltweg, and was sold damaged to Barrie Smith who had Lola build a new car using just the roof section, engine and gearbox from the remains.Barrie then took the car to 1st place in 1970 at the Crystal Palace race (amongst other less successful outings).

Having successfully kept Rebel Rooster under his protective care, Jasper stood tall and proud. It was a rousing chase around the family room.
I use the term "under protective care" loosely. On Rebel Rooster's first day with Jasper, he lost an eyeball to Jasper's teeth. But luckily, in between being a fighter jet pilot and being a nuclear physicist, I spent some time as an eye surgeon so I was able to reattach Rebel's eyeball and he's fully stereoscopic again.

Mira and Nelli, not searching for the weekend
but for the first mouse they ever saw
(and finally successfully caught) in their lives.
TGIF !
I can't say the same thing about the photographer, since I forgot to reset the shutter speed on my camera and had a lot of blurry shots! (I'm surprised I got any in focus). The Red-tailed hawk flew across the road in front of me and caught a mouse or vole. It proceeded to devour its prey in all its bloody goriness. Those of you who hate that kind of shot will be happy to know they all came out blurry. It took less than a minute for the prey to be devoured.
