European Nuthatch
European Nuthatch, England Jan 2010.
Canon 40D + 300 2.8. 640ASA. Overcast. Monopod.
For years my bogey bird, on 17th Jan all this changed as this bird made repeated
forays along a particular branch towards a winter food store.
We are all creatures of habit it would seem.

Crumplehound.
According to his owners, this 13 week old "Crumplehound" named google, is a medical first.
Allegedly, during a bout of youthful exuberance, a collision with a lamp post instantly reduced his 3ft length to a mere 18 inches, thus accounting for the excess folds of skin.

Cheetahs battle Impala
Cheetahs battle Impala, Samburu, Kenya
The last shot in my camera [film days] captured this life and death struggle which the Impala finally lost.
The Cheetahs were totally spent after a titanic 15 minute defence by the gazelle and lay panting in the afternoon heat.

Banded Demoiselle, England.
Banded Demoiselle, England.
Most of the time these male insects sit with their 2 pairs of wings neatly folded, one upon the other.
This changes in a quick flurry if a bright green female happens along, as in this case.
Canon 20D + 70-300mm Sigma Apo.
