A row of wooden posts in the water - about 30 of them - and the top of each one a cormorant is perched, some with wings open to dry then.

#SundayPixFeathers My favourite footage of a baby greater crested grebe popping up from a dive, then when mum appears racing over to her. Making a peeping sound. It did this repeatedly. It was so joyous. #SoundOn 🔊

A black and white cat is lying on his side on a green rug with his back to the camera. He is looking over his shoulder to the lens. On the far side of the rug are the remains of a pigeon, as described.
#SundayPixFeathers
The late Arthur-Cat with the remains of one of his victims. In true serial killer style, his MO was a white pigeon victim, with head removed and chest cavity eaten out, on its back with wings outstretched. Angel vibes.
I was very glad when he stopped doing this.

A large brown owl with its head turned fully around to the back. It’s sitting on a green metal perch in a field (at a display). Alongside it is a dirty cream leather glove, for handling it.
The same owl, photographed midway in spinning its head round so fast that all that is visible is a brown blur with ears on top.

Someone stuck this poor owl’s head on backwards ☹️

Framed artwork which was used for the paperback book cover. Showing the outspread black wings of a bird with a skull head eating a rotting apple. In front is a pale faced woman with dark hair smiling a cigarette. In the background is the rear view of a mysterious black-cloaked figure.
The artist’s statement which was presented alongside the picture. Private collection THE LABOURS OF HERCULES 1975 Agatha Christie "They had long curved noses, like birds ... over their shoulders they wore loose cloaks that flapped in the wind like the wings of two big birds." These are two of the characters, but what a horrific image the artist has made of them. Again Adams has succeeded in bringing his own sense of the macabre into an orthodox short detective story.' (Julian Symons) 'Nice chance to play with the classic myth and try to give it a modern twist. The sinister shapes and patterns of feathers and wings have always intrigued me. Also like painting apples - most artists do.' (Tom Adams)

When I was in San Francisco, there was an exhibition in one of the museums of ‘Royal Hawaiian Featherwork’. Wonderful displays of ceremonial and royal feathered capes, headdresses and other items. I wish I’d taken more pictures, but perhaps it wasn’t allowed.

A book cover entitled Tail Feathers From Mother Goose — The Opie Little Rhyme Book. Pictured is an old woman in a voluminous striped dress, seated, writing with a feather quill pen. She has a green note around her neck and a tall blue hat also with a feather in it. A yellow duck sits alongside her, wearing an orange ruffle around its neck.
Rather late to #SundayPixFeathers as I’ve had friends round for the day — but I’ll try to make up for it!

My wedding bouquet. Looking better than I do 24 years later.
The feathers weren't quite so prominent when the flowers were fresh.

a mute swan cygnet. It is sitting on a plank of wood. One dark grey webbed foot is just visible. its body is covered in fluffy grey down, and its chin and black beak is resting on its chest. One bright dark eye is visible. Behind it, out of focus, another cygnet is grooming its chest.

A pied kingfisher. This is a male, you can tell by the solid black band across the breast. Pied kingfishers are about 25cm tall with a white front and barred black and white back. The beak is black and vicious-looking.

The lilac-breasted roller is about the size of a blackbird. it has an olive-green head, a lilac breast, and a turquoise stomach with turquoise wings edged in dark blue. it has long tail streamers in a very dark blue, almost back. This one is perched with its back to the camera and its head turned to the right.

A pigeon appears to be taking off from choppy water, spreading its wings. Photo taken by the lido in a local park.
A maroon flag with a set of white wings around a parachute surmounted by a crown. This is currently flying outside a house in our village. After research it appears to be the flag of the parachute regiment.
