I have a gannet colony 15 min from my home , they are amazing flyers but their landings always amuse me , its a drop in vertically , and wow be tide them if they are an inch out, the others will peck them . I used to fly para gliders amongts them , its pretty awesome.

yeah, way cool, return a damaged potential bomb by US post.
Try buying a lipo or LiFe battery out of Hong kong at the moment , it will only go by courier post now due to fire potential.
I used to buy heaps of lipos from Hobbyking, now its a nightmare ,but the LiFe are safer , and can take a flattened battery in its stride.
I have pulled a few apart to resolder broken tabs , but they are dangerous, for anyone whos not been shown how

Drop it into salted water for a week and then dump it. it will froth at first , but it wont catch fire , and safe to dispose of.

These birds " Rosella" turn up at ths time of year searching for the nice sweet branch on my neighbours tree, he screws himeself into all shapes to get it

Thanks I looked but tea tree flowers are small , and from what I can remember the branches all stem from the ground, this tree has big main trunk and the upper branches spread out quite high up the tree. the flowers on this tree are 5 to 6 inches long.
I dont think the tea tree grows a pod either, the native birds here strip the pod back and have a great feast .
tuis, Rosella, starlings, wax eyes, gold finch seem to be what it attracts here in Auckland.

The time was 8 at night , really dark,but misty high cloud, the lens is a Sigma 150- 500, last nights shot at 400mm and the night before at 500mm, and I looked at the moon through the binocs and thats how it looked .
Weird I didnt known there was a difference, it has to be the angle we look at it from different parts of the world.
Someone else posted a moon pic last night from USA and its not like mine at all.

You got me thinking now
I will go check the moon tonight and see how it is.
Its looking a sort of semi clear evening, we have had nothing but wind and cloud for weeks now.
That shot above was lucky I found a hole clear enough to get it.
