This pair of #Swans and their juvenile #Cygnets have set up a resting spot on the banks of the #Canal and on the edge of the shared #Cyclepath and #Footpath. I'd passed them before but didn't have a camera with me at the time. As you can see, they have no concerns with people being quite close by but someone told me that they've been quite aggressive, no doubt if someone has been perceived to be a threat.

The Japanese bee fly is a species of fly native to #Japan and other parts of East #Asia.
These flies are known for resembling bees, with hairy bodies and a suspended flight pattern.
They are often found in open habitats such as fields and grasslands, where they feed on the nectar of flowers.

Swede’s Photographs - 2024-07-17 21:50:03 GMT

I Gotta Feeling, Someone's Watching Me 🎶I don't know why I kept this image. The birds are completely out of focus, but they are arranged in-line like a council of elders looking down on me. What are, are pigeons waiting for me to go inside so that they can hit the feeder.

"The scene captures a natural setting, with a focus on a sturdy tree branch. Several birds are perched on this thick arched branch, their silhouettes outlined against the bright blue sky. The foliage surrounding the birds is dense, with an abundance of leaves providing cover and shade.</p><p>Unfortunately, due to the backlighting and the birds’ positioning, it’s challenging to discern specific species or plumage details. However, we can appreciate the collective presence of these avian visitors, showcasing their social behavior and habitat preferences.</p><p>In summary, this image portrays a serene moment in the avian world—a congregation of birds seeking refuge on a sunlit branch, framed by the vibrant sky.
