Nine mile (15km) walk yesterday, around yet another stretch of foreshore.
Three birds that live in different ways. A magnificent black thing with a flesh-tearing beak.

A long-beaked urban scavenger, probably originally designed for wading through molluscs and eating them.
And the one that looks like a burnt-out Concorde is, I believe, a new caledonian shag.
Good skies. Splendid dead tree.
Weird tall solitary tree.
The cellmate standing beside a life-form akin to the lesser young Albert, originally spotted in 1970.
That is a darn good walk.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, I really like the dead tree.
Interesting birds, my husband has 3 or 4 bird books and we do a lot of stopping to look at them. I don't feel a need to identify them, just look at them.
I say!
ReplyDeleteYou could make a few bats out of the weird tall solitary tree.

Not another beautiful bloody day in yon desert!! Cloudless skies are so boring!!! Hotboy p.s. Great photies though!
ReplyDeleteNanners. I agree with you, naming species is a closed activity, compared with the openness of just wondering at them.
ReplyDeleteMingers. Will they ever invent a plastic bat?
Hotters, I knew you'd enjoy the tree porn.
