Thanks, I'm glad you liked the photo.

Strange, I'd have assumed with that list that Northern Flicker would have been a regular summer visitor.

Thanks, say hi to Mike Holmes as well please.

This could be interesting. I may do A on Monday, E on Tuesday and so on. And just to make things harder only double vowels, Automobile Association for example.

Is Paul Griffiths still active? If he is say hello from me please.

Learn their call. You'll hear them before you see them.

Since someone pointed out the potato it now looks like a t-rex about to eat a potato. So t-rex were obviously herbivores.

Thank you. I'd much rather have interesting clouds than clear skies.

I hadn't noticed the potato.

Anyone else see a python head with blunt fangs?

Why build it in a country that has no respect for life on Earth?

Witches!!!!

And yes, I know it's the wrong Salem.

That's the type of warning you used to see a motor racing circuits before the days of health and safety.

Gull can be quite complicated. The Common Gull in front of the Iceland Gull was regarded as the same species as the North American Mew Gull. Now it's a separate species and the Mew Gull has become the Short-billed Gull. Herring Gulls are so complicated the various groups can't agree on status.

I'm glad you liked the photo.

You need to be careful. Once they get used to you you will be mugged for food.

🦢 Thank you.

Are you the Tom Lowe who was a member of the Nantwich Natural History Society in the late 1980s/early 1990s?

In the early 1980s I used to drink in the pub built into the corner of the Fuller's brewery in Chiswick. The best pint of ESB by a wide margin.

Thanks Rob. I've got enough Mr & Mrs pairs to do a week or two.

I recognise it despite not having followed F1 since Ayrton Senna died.

Just dug this out of my film archives. Photographed in the UK the first four gulls left to right are;

Lesser Black Backed Gull
European Herring Gull
Common Gull
Iceland Gull

For anyone not aware, American Avocet males have straighter bills, females have more curved ones.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mr&Mrs. Here's two American Avocet with different things on their minds. The female is ready to mate. The males is preening as if preparing for a date.

You know Rob, that's just what I was thinking when I decided to post it. 😅

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mr&Mrs. Here's mister and missus Common Kingfisher competing in a fishing competition.

Thank you. I mostly use manual focus prime lenses again after a decade using fast, weathersealed zooms.

With two bad shoulders the reduced weight of a small set of manual focus primes is a good thing.
