P.S. The Dodge Power Wagon fire engine is fully operational and is used by a farmer to fight the occasional fires on his farm.

The other day, when it was actually sunny and warm, I heard a load of starlings chattering away, I looked about on the local chimneys & aerials, but I couldn't see a thing, then I looked at the tops of my Leylandii trees, and there they were, in a big group!!! I had to get my camera out for this one!!!

I have noticed a large number of birds these days in Israel whereas 30 years ago there were not many at all as I recall. Presumably as the vegetation increases so do the insects and then the birds Last one is obviously not a bird but a colourful cricket type insect

Lots here I'll pick the best....... well the ones in focus anyhow
I do not know the types of flowers but yes there are olives and pomegranates

Thanks for clearing that up Rolf, they are as different as the difference between a glider and a jumbo jet.

My cousin is a complete outdoor nut, he goes all over GB and Europe bivouacking with his Mrs and the dogs. Last week they called in at the Pen-y Ghent Falconry Center. What a magnificent bird a falcon is, but aren't 2 and 3 an eagle? I'm sure Rolf will answer this

Id say all of them are of eagles

@ Topper, the middle two are of an Eagle (don't know much about them), the two outside ones look more like Harris Hawks.

Nice to know my grey cells can distinguish the difference between the two

These photos were taken out the windows of my workplace this afternoon. Two days of temperatures down at minus 10C but very still conditions have allowed thick hoar frost to build up on the trees

The TV transmitter on the hill in the background of the first pic is the Galashiels tx
