A rare Valencia sighting

Grampa Don

Yep, that's me
I saw this on my telephone pole this morning.

Probably just passing through on its way south. Lovely plumage.
 

I can see the pictures fine.... tbh, I'm more fascinated with all that complicated tangle of wiring :unsure:
Weird @hollydolly !!! ... Wonder why I can't see the pictures ?!?!?!
Ya know, the other day, you couldn't see a picture that I posted but I could.
Strange days.

Sorry @Grampa Don ... belay my last (but I still don't see pictures. Shoot)

This tract was built in 1954 and that's an original pole. The lowest bunch are the telephone company's. Some of them aren't used anymore. Above them is the cable company, and some of them aren't active either. And, at the very top are the electric power lines. If you could see even higher there are high tension lines at the top. I loved all this when I was doing amateur astronomy. I had to move my scope around to avoid all the wires.

Don't know what's going on. I always post my photos on postimage.org and put the address here for the link to them.
 
I can't see it either. It's one of those gremlins that strike Xenforo from time to time.

Well well, just reopened this thread and the pictures are "gone". Glad I previously got a chance to see them.
On another forum I'm a member of, postimage.org is notorious for glitches/problems linking.
Maybe it does have something to do with forum software 🤷‍♂️

I was an admin on another Xenforo based forum for years. They'd tweak something and break something else quite frequently. But add in the problems postimage.org seems to have and it's can anyone's guess what the problem is.

I can see orange.jpeg, no photo. And that's only in a reply @OneEyedDiva made.
