Pierre,
Hello my friend?
HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET IN INTO TN? DID YOU USE THE PROXY???
Great image.
I and a few can not get in.

Lou, Hello,
This is a SUPER image of a scorpion.
These European ones are not as deadly as the ones found in Africa and in Asia ...
Have seen the black ones in India when I was a boy of 12. They are DEADLY!!!
Noted the two in the W/S too.
Great work Lou. Greetings from Mario.
P.S. Am still using the Proxy to get into TN. Mr. Paul O'Brien, the current TN owner, has not yet "fixed" our entry. SOOOOO SAD!!!

oscarromulus (42) [2014-12-04 6:08]
Peter,
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!
8 years a loyal contributor!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Lovely colours, your 400mm paid off, Very sharp and 10/10 focusing.
A great presentation, indeed.
TFS this most lovely species. Detailed notes ... EXCELLENT.
Greetings from Mario who most unfortunately cannot click on "useful" 'cause he is here via a PROXY.

Srikumar,
You must love SOUTH AFRICA.
This place is full of MIST & mysteries.
A beautiful plateau.
LOVELY IMAGE.
Regards from Mario.
P.S. Am still using the PROXY to get in. The current TN owner, Mr. Paul O'Brien is working to "fix" this issue.

Hello Dr. Ori Fragman,
Lovely image of how the birds "adopt" themselves to what is available to procreate. In fact this is a GREAT IMAGE.
P.S. A lot of us, TN members, do not have access to TN.
We have been BLOCKED by some MISCHIEF MAKER.
Mr. Paul O'Brien, the current owner, is trying his best to resolve this "MOST NASTY" situation.
I will upload once more only when he "FIXES" this issue. Am currently using a "PROXY" to get in.
Most kind regards,
Mario.

Dr. Jose Diogo,
We, in Canada, along the west coast, enjoy an abundance of this species throughout the year.
They have been "introduced" into Alberta.
I have uploaded them [here on TN] while nesting very close to our home ... babies and all.
This is a highly IMPRESSIVE register.
Congratulations.

Lou,
How do you find these strange fungi? The ones in the W/S are the same species but all burnt out due to age I suppose.
Lovely Macro with the great light condition.
Greetings from,
Mario.

oscarromulus (42) [2014-11-30 11:31]
Excellent notes Nagesh.
The image too is clear & well focused.
GREAT TIMING!!! Looks like the fish was "spitted" out.
Poor cropping job.
Kind greetings from,
Mario.

oscarromulus (42) [2014-11-28 6:19]
