I have never photographed a butterfly before. Photographing insects is not something I like to do but what do you think? I do not know the specy of this butterfly.

#movement can be hard to show in #bird photography. Here’s my #birdoftheday submission, a rare 4-winged Rufous Hummingbird.

“ So mate, thought about Christmas yet? As I’m thinking you need to up your game with some meal worms, it’s the Robin version of turkeys. Nuts are so yesterday.“ 🙄 #HolidayRobin #birds #EastCoastKin
A European robin stands on a mossy, sunlit surface, its bright orange-red breast glowing in the warm light. The bird faces slightly left, with dark, alert eyes and a small open beak. Its brown wings and pale belly contrast against the blurred green background. Scattered nuts lie in the foreground, softly out of focus.

Of all the borby borbs that have ever borbed, this borby borb is the borbiest borb of all!

A small bird with a mottled or barred brown back, grey breast, white throat and rusty brown cap on its head is perched on a lichen-covered tree branch facing to the right while looking at the the camera. It is a little round ball of borbiness.

Solid Thursday.

📷🌿🪶
A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) perched on a gray lichen-covered tree branch against a blurred background of yellow and orange autumn foliage. The bird displays its distinctive black crested head and vibrant blue plumage on its wings, back, and tail, while facing to the left and framed by more branches and twigs. A photo of an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) perched on a thin lichen-covered tree branch with a golden-yellow fall foliage out of focus in the background behind it. It is a very large songbird that is jet black from the tip of its beak to the end of its tail. It is facing the camera with its head turned to the right of the frame. A photo of a California scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica) perched on a wooden fence top with its back to the camera and its head turned to the left of frame, and scattered peanuts on the fence in front of it. The bird features a vibrant blue head, wings, and tail with a gray-brown back and pale gray underside. Light rain is visible in the air around it and the background behind it is soft, blurred greenery.

I do love to feed the resident Jackdaws, every morning they start to gather waiting for me to put monkey nuts out for them ~ took these this morning ~ the look just says c'mon hurry up 😍😎🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birds #ukwildlife #naturephotography #naturetherapy #kingfisher #birdphotography
A jackdaw is a small, black bird with a short, thick bill, and a silvery-grey "shawl" around the back of its head that stands out from its black face and cap. Its most distinctive feature is its eyes: they are pale blue-grey as juveniles and become a striking, bright, pale-blueish-white as they mature. Their call is a sharp "tchack" sound. Size: It is the smallest of the UK's crow family, with a wingspan of about 70 cm. Plumage: It has a shiny black body with a distinctive silvery-grey colour on the back of its head and neck, which contrasts with its black face and cap. Bill: The bill is short and chunky. Eyes: The adult’s pale blueish-white eyes are a key identifying feature. Juvenile jackdaws have blue-grey eyes.

We had a couple wonderful encounters with Leopards in Kruger Park, SA. This female had finished eating and had just jumped down from a branch, when a Hyena came sniffing around.
I believe the hyena asked if he could have some of her kill, and I’m pretty sure this is a fairly emphatic “NO!”
#Mammals
A leopard walks towards us through some out of focus green leaves. She has stopped and is snarling, while looking to the left ( her right) A hyena is out of the picture and her snarl is telling it to go away!

A Cedar Waxwing 🪶 perched among the tangled branches of a multiflora rose, feasting on the bright red hips.

#birds #birding #BirdPhotography #naturePhotography #CedarWaxwing
When we were occupied the days were long and hollow. We rose with the gray light, tilled our fields beneath the watchtowers, and spoke softly so the wind could not carry the old prayers. The festivals were forbidden—no fires on the hills, no songs for the rivers. The druids’ stones were toppled, their names unspoken. Even the land seemed to sleep beneath the weight of Roman law. Praefectus called us to the green below the Great Oak. The old, gnarled tree spread wide on the ridge—roots older than memory, branches thick with the wisdom of age. Its bark still bore the ghost of the old runes, though the soldiers had scraped them once. We gathered there, thin and silent, and the Roman mounted a stone, sword at his hip. “People of the frontier,” he said, voice smooth as river clay, “you live in the peace of Rome. No hunger, no chaos, no fear. The Empire shall endure forever, and your children will praise it as you do today.” A few near the front nodded, murmuring “Yes, lord,” because such words were expected. The rest only watched with hollow eyes. Then the wind shifted—from the west, the direction of renewal, where the souls of the dead sail to rest. It came as a whisper through the oak’s leaves, speaking a language older than Rome. Out of that breath came a trembling of wings. A flock of waxwings fluttered down—gold and gray, hundreds of them—filling the branches above him. They plucked the acorns and passed them beak to beak, each taking one, each giving one, until the whole tree shimmered with motion and sharing. Someone began to hum a forbidden refrain, softly at first, then joined by others—the song of the circle unbroken. The Roman kept speaking, but his voice was only wind in the leaves. Our eyes had turned upward, following the birds, knowing the sign: the old ways were stirring, and the wheel was beginning to turn again.

American Red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus). It was enjoying the sun and happily posed for me in a Fir tree.

This was the first time I've ever seen a White-breasted Nuthatch in our yard (and there were two!). Always lots of Reds, but never their paler cousins. Very exciting!
