This photo of a Night Heron was taken in Malaysia. The species is a medium-sized, stocky heron (about 60 cm) with a black crown and back, grey wings, white underside, and striking red eyes. It has a strong black bill, yellowish-green legs, and mainly hunts at night or during twilight along calm waters such as mangroves, lakes, or marshes.
The species is distributed worldwide. In Malaysia it is usually resident year-round and often occurs in larger colonies, making encounters more frequent. In Europe it is mostly migratory, locally distributed, and often noticeably more wary, especially in breeding areas or quiet wetlands. This makes it harder to approach and typically requires more patience and careful fieldcraft for successful wildlife photography.

This bell tower serves as a central meeting point with the historic Greenfield Village Henry Ford Museum. Originally located in London England, the Sir John Bennett building was relocated to Dearborn, MI in 1931.
"Sir John Bennett liked the mythical story of Gog and Magog, the ancient protectors of Britain, so he re-created them for the front of his shop. The clock figures, Gog and Magog, toll the chimes of this shop every 15 minutes.
Sir John Bennett was a successful clock, watch and jewelry maker in London, England. This building stood a grand five stories at its original London site. It was scaled down to two stories when it was moved to Greenfield Village. Today, it is a sweet ship inside.
Built in 1931 in Greenfield Village. Exterior decorative elements from original shop in London, England
Red-necked Grebe; a rare bird this far south. Because of the dark lines on its cheeks, this is likely a first year bird.
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.
Thank you for your lovely best wishes messages. I missed you!

Epipogium aphyllum, Aflenz, Steiermark, Austria. The rain during the last week was very helpful for these rare orchids. Unlike last year, they showed up in abundance. Nice and fresh.
A successful fighter of WW1, over 5,000 'Brisfits' were built.
Despite being a 2-seater, the Brisfit had the speed and manoeuvrability of a single seat fighter. The Lewis 0.303in machine gun, operated by the second crew member, is clearly visible in the picture.
An unusual design feature of the Bristol Fighter was the placement of the body of the aircraft midway between the two wings, instead of attached directly to the lower wing, as was usually the case with biplanes. This was intended to improve the field of fire for the observer.
The Shuttleworth Collection's Bristol F.2B Fighter was photographed at the Festival of Flight at Old Warden, June 2025.

This buzzard can only watch the prey passing.
Have a successful week!
Two of the most successful US aircraft of WW2, P-47D Thunderbolt, closely followed by a P-51D Mustang - both in US Army Air Forces markings.
During the War, the USAAF allowed pilots to decorate and personalise their aircraft, as it helped with morale and aided visual identification. The US Navy, on the other hand, did not approve of such decoration, and it is unusual to see pictures of USN aircraft of the era with any non-official markings.
After a successful day spent in the Iskar Gorge we took a night train from Sofia towards Povelyanovo.
When we arrived in Povelyanovo we hopped out of our sleeper coach towards the sitting coach which was now attached to our sleeper coach, after a stop of around 20 minutes the journey continued towards a little village named Valchi Dol, this is where we had planned our first photo of the day. When the train pulled into the station we had already opened the door as we had to run in order to catch the departure of our train. Though it seems like a short distance, it can be tricky, especially with suitcases, as the train departs almost immediately. Luckily, in our case the train had to wait for some elderly people to board the train.
At 07:52 AM BDZ 07 111 departs from Valchi Dol hauling the BV 2637 bound for Dobrich
A native of Scotland, William J. Bryce (1861-1944) moved to Fort Worth in 1883 and developed a successful brick contracting business. In 1893 he constructed this house. The mayor of Fort Worth from 1927 to 1933, Bryce lived here until his death. One of the rare examples of a chateauesque dwelling in Texas, Fairview features Richardsonian arches and Gabled Dormers.
A Royal Tern on his way to what he hopes will be a successful date.
Taken in Florida.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Very pleased to have caught this Arctic Tern in flight with food for its young. Such stunning birds in flight.

Very much on home rails, G&J 4116, a veteran ex D&H Alco RS3 (blt. Sep. 1952) has just crossed Main Street at MP A136.9 on the old Delaware and Hudson Washington Branch as measured from Albany the long way around via Catleton, Whitehall, and Mechanicville.
At right is the historic old Agway warehouse that was recently restored as the recipient of a 2019 New York Main Street Grant. While now residential apartments it has retained its classic exterior appearance and looked better than ever Surely D&H switch crews of yore spotted many a 40 ft boxcar at the warehouse doors on the siding here over the years. Check out this photo from last year before the remodel:

Patience paid off for a great egret when it grabbed a fish and some salad from a marsh at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Ks.
Sacred Kingfisher with a very small fish from the Sandy Camp Road Wetlands. This went straight to its brood in a termite-mound nest nearby.
Der Vormittag des 18.02.2023 lief am Arlberg und im Inntal leider nicht so erfolgreich, doch am Nachmittag wurde zum einen das Wetter besser und auch der Verkehr war durchaus überzeugend. Auf der Innbrücke bei Kirchbichl kam dann ein schöner Containerzug bespannt von 1116 200 und einer 1016. Der Zug spiegelte sich sehr schön im stillen Gewässer sodass am Abend der Tag doch noch gelungen war.
Unfortunately, the morning of February 18, 2023 was not so successful on the Arlberg and in the Inn Valley, but in the afternoon the weather improved and the traffic was also quite convincing. A beautiful container train pulled by 1116 200 and a 1016 then came on the Inn bridge near Kirchbichl.
After completing another successful trip over the mountain, CXRG's Walsenburg turn job slowly drifts into the namesake town of La Veta, Colorado, before continuing east for the UP interchange. The 11,500’ Mount Mestas can be seen looming in the background as the conductor prepares to knock the retainers off.
Unfortunately, this was about as good as it got for our visit with the CXRG. A cost-cutiting measure was recently implemented on the railroad, strictly prohibiting trains less than 15-cars to go over La Veta pass. Upon hearing this news, we anxiously hoped that UP would provide just enough cars to force a trip back west to Alamosa.
As we drove into Walsenburg, we'd find the UP local arriving with 12 cars for the CXRG. While we hoped the 12 inbounds would be enough to convince the CXRG to waive their new rule, we'd soon discover our fate as the two SD70MAC's departed Walsenburg lite power to tie down at Pictou for the weekend. Swing and a miss.
