A wild Rainbow Lorikeet photographed – of all places – at Mordialloc Railway Station in Melbourne, VIC. These loud, occasionally obnoxious birds are frequent visitors to our urban landscapes now. The colours here I have pushed to the max – Rainbow Lorikeets do have brilliant colours and I wanted this image to burst alive – subtle and the Rainbow Lorikeet do not go hand in hand!

Florida banded watersnake. / Nerodia fasciata pictiventris. / Kanapaha Botanical Gardens; / Gainesville, Florida. / 09 September 2006. / Nikon D70s. This is a non-venomous Florida banded watersnake. Bandeds are quite variable in appearance throughout the Floridian peninsula. This individual is one of the rarer of the three dominant variants. Typically, the bandeds are darker, with black, red and orange bands and base colors. The “Caramello” is more of a light orange base color, with traces of murky yellows and reds. It’s just a lovely variant, and one I’ve only seen a few times. Janson, / http://floridana.typepad.com/

Eastern “yellow” rat snake (Elaphe alleghaniensis). / Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge; Deleon Springs, Florida. / 01 March 2007. / Nikon D70s. This lovely individual was skirting near the trail heads at Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge, near Deleon Springs, Florida. The Eastern rat snake is a non-venomous snake. They grow rather large (by North American standards) and are excellent climbers. In Florida, the dominant Eastern rat snake type is the “yellow rat snake”. There is current debate as to how to classify the yellow rat snake, in relation with all the other rat snake varieties in North America. I tend to roll with the CNAH (Center for North American Herpetology), which currently classifies the yellows along with all the other Eastern rat snakes (hence, Elaphe alleghaniensis).

If you remember the fairy tale… I still don’t see how these could be termed “ugly” even by duckling standards…... :o) Mute Swan Cygnets, Abbotsbury Swannery, Dorset, England.

Brown bear aka Grizzly bear (Ursus horribilis), captive zoo animal, digitally accented Wilderness lost The victims of human beings come in all shapes and sizes, from the largest to the small. Gone are the days of grizzlies roaming the prairies of North America for roots and wolf pack leftovers. Everything associated with the prairies is turned to dust, blown to the corners of the globe. One has to travel far to seek out the last truly wild places, those nooks of nature that only the sun and clouds visit with regularity. Someday they too will be but a destination on someone’s itinerary. The wandering, restless soul keeps wild places in their hearts, and when they venture forth into the wood they feel the ripples of time and days gone by flowing like the unstoppable river throughout the hollow skeleton of what once was a place of mystery and passion. The great bears have been pushed to the limit, needing protection even in their remaining strongholds, where man is still a visitor. Golden aspens and billowing birch trees, where the sky is the only rooftop and every direction provides a window. We seek so much to regain the things we destroy, in nature and in love, so why should we weep at the humbleness and sad truth of a mighty creature napping in a concrete jungle? Because one glimpse into its eyes reveals the genes forged from rivers and floods, mountains and valleys, winters of endless desolation and summers of famine and frivolity with cubs. Wilderness was a catch phrase, now it is but a ghost, and time marches on leaving the ramshackled remnants of a once great species. Mighty bear, the hunter, the spirit, symbol of what was and still should be American Wilderness. He, the gentile beast, should spend lazy days napping and berry picking and sratching in thickets of tender alders, pondering as only a wild bear ponders the cottonwood seeds. And yet this is not the way the story goes, this bear goes by the name of Bruce. “The idea of wilderness needs no defense, it only needs defenders.” / -Edward Abbey /

Looks like this little fella has been overindulging on the bird food over the holidays or maybe he’s just fluffed up to keep warm in the freezing temperatures we had a few days ago. European Robin, seen outside my “office” window.

Harris Hawk doing his thing at Liberty’s Raptor and Reptile Centre, Ringwood, Hampshire. Ye gads – snapping birds in flight is a hit or miss art! I just got lucky with this one and got a hit! ;o) Canon EOS 5D Mk II with Canon EOS 70-200mm L IS f/4 lens handheld (if you want to use a tripod for this sort of thing, then I know a good shrink!) ;o) I have never said this before on RB, but viewing the larger image is recommended!

The extremely elegant Demoiselle Crane (anthropoides virgo) has got to be one of the classiest waders in the bird world. I just love the tasteful and understated hairdo that both males and females sport. Don’t be surprised if you find me stalking one in the hope of that lonnnnnnng feather moulting… Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 400mm L f/5.6 handheld
