I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain
With my delicate and fragile lady brain
I will not let you get away
I'd rather burn at the stake
On a drive back from Walton-on-Naze I passed through Thorpe-le-Soken when a Barn Owl fly over the car into a small grassed area with a few posts that had been staked in the ground for trees I presume! I did the well practiced emergency 3 point turn and somehow managed to pull up along the side of it without it flying off. I Already had the passenger side window down to take some photos and video. It did move from one post to another, this being the closest one it landed on to me. Got some shots of it taking off from the post as well, which I’ll post soon. Right place, right time! What a great experience.
This is a stainglass Butterly by our front door flowerbed,
The stake is 3 feet tall, just a gage to see how much snow we had in some areas,
House Wren very noisily staking his territorial claim around the nesting box. Both my small bird nesting boxes are now occupied by house wrens who very aggressively defend them.
Unfortunately, since the arrival of the house wrens chasing other small birds away from the nesting boxes, species such as chickadees, tufted titmouse and even carolina wrens seem to be visiting my yard, in Chester County, PA, much less frequently.

Trying to escape the heat, I took a half hour drive up into the hills to a year round recreation area. Full of trails but otherwise undeveloped, it's a lovely area of near wilderness.
In the winter it has snowshoeing and cross-country trails. In the summer there are hiking and biking trails. And, yes, it seemed cooler there.
"It was raining by the bay. A hard rain; the kind that beats away the slick scum from the pavement underneath the worn-out soles of your shoes, if only for a little while..."

This Gannet was staking a claim to this prime nesting location at Bempton Cliffs earlier today. It left occasionally to collect nesting material but in it's absence other Gannets would help themselves to the materials it had already collected!
Under it's left wing you can just make out some blue plastic material. Plastic will, sadly, continue to make up a considerable part of the nests of sea birds unless and until we get a grip of this man-made crisis.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
Teddy is all about forbidden spaces. We keep him out of bedrooms as he tends to be a little thief, but he never misses an opportunity when presented. We’ve been redecorating a small bedroom and there is absolutely nothing in it of interest to Teddy. But this morning I opened the door for just a second - and got this….Looking seriously pleased with himself. He posed all over the room
A stake with coloured tape at the front of an empty block that is ready for construction. The stake marks the front edge of the property.
On its left and slightly behind is a bus shelter, complete with advertising. In the distance, to the right of the stake, is a traffic light showing amber, with a red do-not-walk pedestrian light. The red monolith is an Australia Post postbox.
The other participant in the battle for territory. Love seeing these warblers swing through during migration. Taken at Red River Gorge, KY.
I've been away as my little town was evacuated due to wildfires - just got back - strange experience.
A firefighters prayer and motto goes like “when I am called to duty, god wherever flames may rage, give me the strength to save a life, whatever be its age.”
A Canada Goose is, well, getting goosed by another, which has attacked from below. This comical event (for a human observer at least) took place in mid-May, when territories were being staked out in Cypress Hills Provincial Park in southeastern Alberta, Canada.

We went to great lenghts to get a good view of the castle !
A piece of history,
Traitors' heads used to be displayed on spikes on London Bridge, at the Stone Gateway on the south bank. This merry London ritual began in about 1300 and continued until about 1660.
Me and zoota had a lot of fun doing this pose although it so bloody it was funny :) glad they dont do this now !
Under naupaka kahakai, this gorgeous mōlī claims prime nesting territory. Laysan albatrosses with established pair bonds are the first of the season to arrive at the breeding colony. Males generally arrive first in mid-November and stake out a nesting site, females arrive a few days or so later. After a brief reaffirming courtship dance followed by mating, the couple return to nomadically soaring over the north Pacific for about two weeks to forage and fatten up for the rigors of nesting. The pair return to the nest where the female lays a single egg then departs to replenish the enormous energy deficit required to produce a beer can sized egg. The male takes the first incubation shift and fasts for two weeks until the female returns to relieve him. They alternate incubation duties and foraging with increasingly shorter shifts. If all goes well, the egg will hatch in about 60 days.
With charts and logs lost to history, thereâs some thought that Sir Francis Drake may have passed through these waters of Tomales Bay, California in 1579. The nearby bay, Drakesâs Bay, is officially recognized as the location of his landing and appropriately named after the man who famously circumnavigated the earth. Though as I sit and watch the sun rise I can imagine the sails of the famous explorer slowly drifting past as the natives watch in awe and wonder.
