Alan Beastall 454 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Thanks Betty, Black Headed gull and Moorhen are the birds. Leica Q for the panoramic and Nikon 600mm for the birds. Alan Edited November 10, 2020 by Alan Beastall Link to post Share on other sites

The latest news today: "Heatwave from hell: extremely dangerous weather conditions stretch 4,500km as Australia prepares to swelter through 50C days". I know I always say I like heat but there are limits. Now where's the nearest swimming pool? Edited November 25, 2020 by gvallee 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Most people didn’t, then, it was way too expensive for the average working man. Is it a dry heat, Gen? More tolerable than searingly hot and humid. Hubs was stationed on the Mohave desert for a year, and the heat was much more bearable because as soon as the sun went down, it got cool. Even daytime temps felt better than South Texas in the summer with humidity in the 80s and 90s. Link to post Share on other sites

MizBrown 637 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 One of the ones that had to wait until my photo processing skills were a bit better. I'd cropped the original and had to enlarge the crop. Cinnamon Hummingbird in a bromeliad that didn't have very showy flowers. I thought I'd posted this earlier. Cinnamon Hummingbirds are very territorial and chase out other species of hummingbirds except for the ones that are considerably larger. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Betty LaRue 3,289 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 Very nice and varied nature images. MizB, our ruby-throated hummingbirds are very territorial, also. They are the only ones we have unless an oddball migrates through, which I've never seen. It's something to watch hummingbird wars. Like a bunch of fighter jets going after it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
