This is Charing Cross Road, St Giles Circus, London, taken by Wolfgang Suschitzky, in 1935.
The Astoria then was a movie theater, later a famous live music venue, torn down in this century (sniffle) in order to enlarge the Underground station.
One or two search results called it an African Bee-Eater. I read as much as I could handle of wordy and almost but not quite identical descriptions of Bee-Eaters…
In another Lewis Carrolian naming convention, the differences lie in tiny patches of color here or there… My eyes were glazing over.
But I do believe the rusty feathers on its head distinguish it from the African, and the lack of blue markings means it’s not a blue Bee-eater, and the Arabian Bee-Eater has… um…. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz….m
…. «pop» ….schnork… um.. uh… where was I?
.. er…
Oh… and I bet that bee(wasp?)’s whole life is flashing before its eyes.
It’s one of the only advantages of being on a tablet instead of a computer.
Yeah, it’s only an 8″ tablet, so the screen is pretty tiny, but at least I can hold it near my eyes, and very easily use two fingers to enlarge the image.
I usually don’t do it for the whoe thing, cos it already fills my screen, so if I enlarge it I have to scroll and scroll…. though if I don’t spot anything, that’s what I do.
More often, I think I see something, and quickly make that area quite big. Fully enlarged, that bucket is maybe ⅕ or ¼ the width of my screen, so the little shovel is apparent.
Elliott Gould, Sally Kellerman, and Donald Sutherland
On the set of:
Robert Altman’s multi Academy Award nominated US American black comedy war film M*A*S*H which premiered 25th of January 1970, at the Baronet Theatre in NYC

Dunno a lot about .rar, but I’m not sure they’re compressed enough.
I hope everyone gets a chance to see this video on youtube –

Thanks, or you’re welcome, or something.

The appropriately named Asian Bee-Eater, AFAIK.

“Look, Mom! I’m a ballerina!”
Yes… I was about to say that this tiny dancer is a 6-week-old baby macaque, or snow monkey, at the Milwaukee Zoo.
This was about 10 years ago… they were very happy because it was the first successful birth of a macaque in their breeding program.

Strange… Not only are bones and eyes repeated, the first bones one is the lower part of the liver entry, above…
When it repeats, that stuff has been removed.
And what medication is that gut hating, and what’s in the little packets?
I have other questions, like why your joints hate sausages, and your eyes hate candy… But that’ll do for now.

Well, they do say opposites attract.

Hah! Maybe Nessie threatened that guy, or paid him to say it was fake.
What with all the new technology, she’s afraid of being discovered, and wanted a distraction.
I believe in you, Nessie!

I love this.
“MY daddy!”
find the bucket and the spade
I don’t think it’s a spoiler to tell you that they apparently mean a shovel, not a ♠.
(I thought those rectangles were playing cards but they’re birdhouses or outhouses or very teeny summer cottages.)
I did find them… you can too.
You don’t need to peek at
Below that, there’s an almost upright door just like it.
The bucket and spade are on the left side of that lower door.
till you’ve tried!
Ye got ta gud eye, there, Susan. I had found the bucket but did not notice the shovelly-spade.

This is why you read to them, from before they’re born till as old as they’ll sit still for it .
A love of books and reading is something to cherish and nurture.

Where’s the Roc? I’ll bet it has a grip of at least 1000 PSI. Just the same, I wouldn’t want any of these guys pictured to grab hold of me! Ouch!
you left out Sharp-shinned Hawk! at least a thousand PSI when it got hold of my thumb!

Mourning Dove.
So sorry for your loss.
I thought it appropriate, given the day and all.
And the same reason I went with the film.
