A TINY WARBLER that is perhaps known for its onomatopoeic song Chiff Chaff- Chiff Chaff. It is a restless feeder, constantly on the move among foliage in search of invertebrates. About now they migrate south to wintering grounds in the Mediterranean, some do overwinter in the South East of the UK.

MY LAST IMAGE, sorry to say, am leaving the cold wet winter days to you hardened photographers, and sadly going to the Gambia for two weeks, heat, mangroves, and so many birds you have the difficult decision of which birds to point your camera at first, am sure you feel sorry for me. But will return in two weeks to show you how I got on.

============================================

Keep safe and well GOD bless you......................Tomx

A FAMILIAR and colorful little bird, always on the move, and entertaining to watch. The JUVENILE is similar to the adult but the colors are subdued, particularly the blue elements of the plumage. An easy bird to observe.

"KEEP a smile on your face , and love in your heart for everyone"!

SUMMER VISITOR, this bird was busy feeding up close to the coast , to make the hop across the Channel and work its way south to warmer climates. I know that I am still fairly new to birding, but it seems like a lot of birds think its Autumn already, and indeed the weather has been a bit autumnal, at times. have you seen any signs ?

Bit of a heavy crop on this, but not a lot to show you.

FORAGING in low scrub, rather warbler like, picking and hovering from the underside of leaves, Was told of this uncommon bird to the Kotu area, and have to admit to spending more time looking or waiting for an appearance, than any other bird on the trip, but it did put an appearance just for a few seconds, would have loved to have got a side image, to show its full beauty.

========================

THANK YOU, for your visit to my Gambian images, hope you are still enjoying them, I love reading your kind comments and doing the same to your latest posting. Enjoy the Lord's day, God bless and keep you safe and well..............Tomx.

Wishing you a joyful Thursday.

This origami Daffodil has almost the same folding sequence as the 'Daffodil Tower' (see first comment box). I don't know which of these two designs was the first one.

Paper:

- For each daffodil I used 6 pieces of 7,5x15cm, double colored yellow kami paper

Final size: diameter 11cm, height 4,5cm

- For the leaves several strokes green copy paper, width 3,75cm, length varies from 20- 30cm.

A bit of sad looking origami cat, as a tribute for one of my two black cats, Dubh, who disappeared about two weeks ago. No sign of him yet, so I think he will never come back. He will be missed.

Folded from three pieces of black kami-paper:

- body 15x15cm

- head 7,5x7,5cm

- eyes 7,5x7,5cm

Final height about 11cm, depends where you glue the head ;-)

Charming and well marked little finch, for some of you, these are fairly common, but a rare sight in Kent, had to travel a long way to see one, a juvenile male I believe ! The siskin is probably easiest to find in the winter months, when it searches for seeds in the outer branches of leafless alder and birch trees at woodlands. On rare times, it will sometimes visit garden feeders, seen here at Millers wood, June 2017.

""A 'Shachihoko' (鯱鉾) or 'Shachi' (鯱) is an animal in Japanese folklore with the head of a tiger and the body of a carp.

It was believed that this animal could cause the rain to fall, and as such, temples and castles were often adorned with roof ornaments (shibi) crafted in the form of a shachihoko, in order to protect them from fire.

When pronounced 'shachi ', 鯱 also means orca."" - WiKi

God loves you! Ask him into your life, you will never regret it.

The 'work' is done!!!!. In the collage above you see the complete model in 3 different angles. (see first comment box for a detail of the 'flower tower').

The 'origami Daffodil Tower' is built with 4 flowers and connecting pieces, which suggest the leaves.

According to the diagrams the petals should stick out more straight, but when adjusting they moved towards each other, so I connected them together. A small variation on the theme.

The diameter is 20cm, height 11cm.

It a nice spring decoration ;-))

Paper:

Each daffodil is composed of 6 elements forming the petals. I used 6 pieces of yellow kami paper, 7,5X15cm for one flower( so totally 12 pieces)

For the 'Leaves': 12 green pieces of green kami paper, also 7,5x15cm.

My camera has had to go to be repaired and could be without it for quite a long time.

"""Good news!!! Santa is on his way!!!

It is a very long journey and although the reindeer have magical supersonic powers to fly in the air, it is still better from a welfare point of view to let the animals rest once in a while. Also for the Santa himself, he is not getting any younger either. So they all are enjoying now a little break on a cloud full with snow!

Please have a closer look at the sled too.

On the back you see a lantern, which works on solar energy and ensures visibility during night flights.

So if you see one or more blue moving dot(s) in the evening or at night next week,..... then you know what it is."""

During the last renovations in and around the house, I folded many elements. They are not difficult to fold and you can put them down and pick them up again at any time.

Last week I put them together and of course took pictures. I took the photos all from the same distance and angle, so that the final size is also visible that way.

Here is an overview of the models that are possible with the element "Diamond Bridge 90".

In the first horizontal row the model that arises with 6 units. I find this one the most interesting, because it has so many different "faces".

In the second row twice the 12units and the 30units version.

They are all connected in the same way.

Paper size one unit 7,5x15cm.

Final size:

6 units: diameter 9cm

12 units: diameter 11cm

30 units: diameter 14cm

""Surprise…surprise…!!!

Some chickens are very curious and want to step right into the big world…. shouting out loud "Here I am….. !!!!""

Neal Elias (1921 -2005), who designed this model, was one of the most important and influential figures of the modern origami.

He has great designs and they are very interesting and also much fun to fold!!

This origami model is a golden oldie, it was created in 1962.

I folded this from one piece of soft, fine-textured paper, 19,5x19,5cm, previously painted one side yellow.

Final size: about 10cm width and 11cm tall

COLOURFUL and familiar little bird, found in the country-side and most gardens, a easy bird to observe in Britain, and very adorable, they tap on our kitchen window. THIS image was taken in March, as most adult birds look tatty and worn out, feeding young, and many will go for a second brood, so not showing a current one.

Perhaps you will think: What?...... even more...?! And then I have to admit: "Yes, i folded even more units .........with a small difference".

Here you see an overview of the origami Diamond Bridge models, the big sister of the "Diamond Bridge 90", which I showed yesterday (see first comment if you missed it).

The difference lies in a few other creases that gives the unit a more pointed shape. If you then join at least 3 units together a point of a star is created. Furthermore, because of this different point shape, it is possible to ensemble more units together.

In the first horizontal row the model that arises with 6 units.

The second row shows two possibilities the 12 units version. The grey ones show two 'faces' of the 3 units connection for the star point and the green one has a 4 units connection.

The third row shows two possibilities the 30 units version. The yellows show the two 'faces' of the 3 units connection for the star point and the orange one has the 5 units connection.

Paper size one unit 7,5x15cm.

Final size:

6 units: diameter 11cm

12 units: diameter 13cm

30 units: diameter 15cm

The Double-barred Finch is never far from water, the Double-barred finch prefers scrubby grassland, long grass, open forests and farmlands.

Found in the Kimberley region through to west of the Gulf of Carpentaria and then from Cape York down the east coast to south-eastern Victoria.

In their native habitat, Double-barred finches feed on seeds off the ground as well as picking them from seed-heads. Insects are also consumed, especially during the breeding season.

~~~ "I agree", says the white owl, "it was tough call to guess that it was my front with feathers from the angle/perspective Marjan had chosen."

"Yeah, maybe", said the little owl, "but you could also have become something completely different at that stage and they were nice suggestions. Dare to be different is my motto too."

"You are quite right, my little friend. So happy we met! Let's enjoy the sun for a little while more." ~~~

This origami owl is also from the same designer (Yoshio Tsuda), as the previous owls that I showed you and here a tessellation technic is used for making the feathers.

The other difference is that this model isn't closed at the back. That has the advantage that light can pass through, which I did with the help of the sun. And that makes the feather pattern more beautiful, at least I think so.

Forgive me the scratches on the table, I did my best to polish them away.....;-))

Paper:

- For the white owl I used a 30x30cm white tissue foil.

Final size: height 11cm, length 7cm, width 5cm

- For the 'golden' owl I used thin brownish wrapping paper 20x20cm.

""Good morning ;-)), I am on my way to my new place, where I will spend the winter.

Marjan asked to tell you that she is also going to move and will therefore be absent for indefinite time. A relocation always involves a lot of work, time and energy, but she will definitely come back, she promised me. And if it is not too busy, with all those other things, she will come to visit us ;-)

SEWERAGE WORKS, a local capture, where there are flies, often many birds are found, and it was good to capture my first Chiffchaff of the year here. A tiny warbler that is perhaps best known for its onomatopoeic song "Chiffchaff, Chiffchaff !" The bill is thin and needle-like while the legs are black, it is mainly a summer visitor to the Southern half of the UK and mainly associated with mature deciduous woodland with a dense understorey of shrubs. Regret to say this bird was a bit over the top of me for a decent image.
