You need to rethink the flash... birders are frowning on that now.... I agree with them.

The owl, on the other hand, gave no fuck. No flash, no pic, with even a fast 2.8 telephoto. Needs must.



I rarely use flash for anything.

^^^^ flowering in my garden at the moment... It's fantastic. I never realized it was going to produce like that. I never knew its name so I researched... It's from the Canary Islands.



This what wiki says of the plant. common name; The pinwheel Plant



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeonium_haworthii">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeonium_haworthii



Aeonium haworthii (Haworth's aeonium, pinwheel) is a species of succulent plant in the genus Aeonium of the family Crassulaceae. It is native to the Canary Islands, but it has been introduced to other areas of similar climate, such as Southern California. It is a sand-dwelling beach plant, a subshrub with rough, woody stems and rosettes of thick, red-edged green leaves which are triangular or diamond- or spade-shaped. It grows to 60 cm, with panicles of cream-colored pointed flowers produced in spring.[2]

A. haworthii is grown as a houseplant in temperate regions. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]

A fairly common bird in Australian. Very pretty and quite comfortable near humans.
