A small gesture to mark my solidarity with the people of Ukraine in these hard times. I folded origami cranes with all of the blue and yellow paper I had in the house. 2 from 11cm kami, 2 from 15cm,. 5 from 5cm and 1 from a scrap at 4cm. I used the paper from the two largest for two of the photos before I folded them.
Designed by Tsuda Yoshio, folded by me
One uncut square of 11cm double tissue paper
Il s'agit d'une créature issue du film d'animation Nausicaa de la Vallée du Vent, de Miyazaki : je ne connaissais pas ces espèces insectoides géantes avant de les plier, mais avec plein de tentacules et de bras partout c'était marrant à essayer en format miniature !
I did not know this character from Miyazaki's anime film Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, but the arms & numerous tentacles meant a fun challenge at miniature scale !
I'm so excited to show my first ever fully handmade roombox to all you guys on flickr! It still requires some improvement, but apart from that it is almost complete and ready to become a cozy home for my Little Dals *^* Hopefully I'll start making photostories soon.
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Mistletoebird
Scientific Name: Dicaeum hirundinaceum
Description: The small Mistletoebird is the only Australian representative of the flowerpecker family, Dicaeidae, and is also known as the Australian Flowerpecker. Males have a glossy blue-black head, wings and upperparts, a bright red throat and chest, a white belly with a central dark streak and a bright red undertail. Females are grey above, white below, with a grey streak on the belly, and a paler red undertail. Young birds resemble females but are paler and have an orange, rather than dark, bill. These birds are swift and erratic fliers, moving singly or in pairs, usually high in or above the canopy.
Similar species: Male Mistletoebirds may superficially resemble Red-headed Honeyeaters or Scarlet Honeyeaters in having a red and black colouring, but these two honeyeaters have red heads, while the Mistletoebird has a black head, lacks their long, curved bills, while also being stockier and smaller overall. Mistletoebirds may also be distinguished from the red robins (Petroica species) by having a much shorter tail, a totally dark head (no contrasting cap or spot) and a red undertail.
Distribution: The Mistletoebird is found throughout mainland Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea and eastern Indonesia.
Habitat: The Mistletoebird is found wherever mistletoe grows and is important in the dispersal of this plant species.
Seasonal movements: Nomadic out of breeding season.
Feeding: The Mistletoebird is highly adapted to its diet of mistletoe berries. It lacks the muscular gizzard (food-grinding organ) of other birds, instead having a simple digestive system through which the berries pass quickly, digesting the fleshy outer parts and excreting the sticky seeds onto branches. The seed can then germinate quickly into a new plant. In this way, the Mistletoebird ensures a constant supply of its main food. It will also catch insects, mainly to provide food for its young.
Breeding: The Mistletoebird builds a silky, pear-shaped nest with a slit-like entrance, made from matted plant down and spider web, which is suspended from a twig in the outer foliage of a tree. The female alone builds the nest and incubates the eggs, while both sexes feed the young.
Calls: Very high-pitched single note; also repeated three-note song, warbles and some mimicry.
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 11cm
Average size: 10cm
Average weight: 9g
Breeding season: September to March
Clutch Size: 3
Nestling Period: 15 days

Silvereye
Scientific Name: Zosterops lateralis
Description: The Silvereye is a small bird with a conspicuous ring of white feathers around the eye, and belongs to a group of birds known as white-eyes. The Silvereye shows interesting plumage variations across its range. The grey back and olive-green head and wings are found in birds through the east, while western birds have a uniformly olive-green back. Breeding birds of the east coast have yellow throats, pale buff flanks (side of the belly) and white on the undertail. Tasmanian birds have grey throats, chestnut flanks and yellow on the undertail. To complicate this, the birds in the east have regular migrations within Australia and may replace each other in their different areas for parts of the year. Birds in Western Australia have yellowish olive, rather than grey, backs.
Similar species: There is only one similar species found on Australia's mainland. The Yellow White-eye, Z. luteus, lives in Australia's north and north-west. It is more brightly coloured above, is lemon yellow below and has a smaller white eye-ring. The ranges of the two species do overlap slightly.
Distribution: Silvereyes are more common in the south-east of Australia, but their range extends from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, through the south and south-west to about Shark Bay, Western Australia. They are also found in Tasmania.
Habitat: Silvereyes may occur in almost any wooded habitat, especially commercial orchards and urban parks and gardens.
Seasonal movements: In the south of their range, Silvereyes move north each autumn, and move back south in late winter to breed. Although one of Australia's smallest birds, the Silvereye is capable of travelling great distances during migration, with Silvereyes from the most southerly regions of Tasmania travelling all the way up to Southern Queensland.
Feeding: Silvereyes feed on insect prey and large amounts of fruit and nectar, making them occasional pests of commercial orchards. Birds are seen alone, in pairs or small flocks during the breeding season, but form large flocks in the winter months.
Breeding: Silvereye pairs actively defend a small territory. The nest is a small, neatly woven cup of grasses, hair, and other fine vegetation, bound with spider web. It is placed in a horizontal tree fork up to 5m above the ground. The nest is constructed by both sexes, who both also incubate the bluish-green eggs. If conditions are suitable two to three clutches will be raised in a season.
Calls: The contact call, a thin "psip", is given persistently.
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 12cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: August to February; later in the north
Clutch Size: 2 to 3, rarely 4

We made this small insulated greenhouse in 2018, because there wasn't anywhere to keep potted plants in the winter. On a sunny winter's day it can reach 70F (20C), in summer it goes up to 120F (50C) so the plants are moved outside. I grow some lemons, limes, figs, bell peppers, aloe, and other miscellaneous items. In this climate with long winters, it helps to get an early start on the growing season.
I've taken a few 35mm shots of it, but they aren't so good for detailed objects. So here it is on the Bessa, focused using the "Human Rangefinder" method where you calibrate a small card using the distance between your eyes and the length of your arms, and find the distance by using your left and right eyes on the card individually. It's not perfect but it works better than guessing.
WELL-MARKED TIT, but tiny, of rather warbler-like proportions and indeed, it often feeds in a similarly energetic and acrobatic manner to this unrelated group of birds. The sexes are similar, resident all year round.,.A woodland bird, but more and more getting frequent visitors to using garden feeders in rural areas.

Red-backed Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus melanocephalus
Description: This is the smallest of the fairy-wrens, with the male in breeding plumage inmistakable; glossy black with a scarlet saddle, black bill and shortish tail with a squared tip. Adult non-breeding males and immature birds are very similar to the females which are plain warm-brown with a pinkish-brown bill, though males have a black bill. The tail of the females is longer and more pointed. These wrens have no blue in their plumage at all. They are usually in small family groups with mainly brownish birds.
Similar species: The breeding male is unmistakable. Eclipse (non-breeding) males and females are a warm brown with pale lores and eye-ring and are smaller than the similar Superb Fairy-wren M. cyaneus, which have orange-red lores. The Variegated Fairy-wren is also bigger with a longer tail. These wrens rarely overlap with the similar White-winged Fairy-wren M leucopterus.
Distribution: Red-backed Wrens are endemic (found only there) to north and east Australia.
Habitat: They are found in dense understorey dominated by tall grasses in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Seasonal movements: Resident and sedentary, and may move locally in the non-breeding season.
Feeding: Red-backed Wrens feed on small insects and arthropods, feeding in small groups among tall grasses and shrubs, sometimes in trees.
Breeding: Little is known about their breeding habits. The small dome-shaped nest is well-hidden and placed close to the ground, often in grass tussocks. The nest is made of grasses, bark strips and spiders web, lined with fine grasses and feathers. The eggs are white, splotched and spotted with red-brown marks. The female mainly incubates and broods the young. Both parents feed the nestlings, sometimes helped by others in the group, and remove the faecal sacs.
This is the smallest of the Fairy-wrens and is sometimes known as the Elfin Wren.
Calls: The call is a weak high-pitched reeling song, soft and unobstrusive, often only heard from quite close.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2-3
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

This leather journal with the medieval binding style has 192 thick blank white pages. The leather wraps around the book and is fitted with a pen holder at the front which serves as closure. (Pen is not contained in the offer.)
Inside is a lining from a white fabric with a black floral pattern - this adds to the style of this book and helps protect the pages inside.
This book has two types of sewing. The decorative stitches that you can see from the outside attach the pages to the cover. But they are held together by another, hidden sewing that is therefore more protected.
This book measure from the outside approximately 5½" x 4½" x1" (14cm x 11cm x 2.5cm).
Palm Spring, Californie
Je vous présente une courte série de prise d'un très petit oiseau de 4.5 pouces ou 11cm, rapide, acrobatique et très ingénieux très commun dans les parcs et villes du désert. Les mâles construisent plusieurs nids et ce sont les femelles qui choisissent le nid qu'elles utiliseront et ça 2 fois par année. Se sont des nids sphériques de la grosseur d'un gros pamplemousse et l'entrée consiste en un petit tunnel dans un angle de 45 degré orienté au nord lors de la pondaison d'été et au sud pour celle d'hiver.
À noter que les mâles n'abandonne pas les nids qui ne sont pas retenues par les femelles mais les conservent pour se servir des matériaux lors de la prochaine saison ou pour en rénover un autre tout simplement.
Palm Spring, California.
I present you a short series of catch of a very small bird, fast, acrobatic and very ingenious, very common in parks and cities of the desert. The male builds several nests and it is the female who chooses the nest that she will use twice a year. They are shy nests about the size of a large grapefruit and the entrance consists of a small tunel at a 45 degree angle oriented north during the summer nesting and south for the winter one.
Note that males do not abandon nests that are retained by females may retain them to use the materials next season or to renovate another simply.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Golden-headed Cisticola
Scientific Name: Cisticola exilis
Description: In breeding season, the male Golden-headed Cisticola has a golden-orange head, which is crested when calling, with a paler chin and throat, and a boldly streaked black to dark grey and golden body. The tail is black, with paler tips, and is shorter during breeding season. Females resemble non-breeding males, with buff-brown upper parts, heavily streaked black and dark brown, with a golden-buff rump and nape of neck. The underparts are cream with buff tints, the wings are black, with each feather edged buff. Young birds resemble the female but are duller.
Similar species: The related Zitting Cisticola, C. juncidis, resembles the Golden-headed Cisticola in size and shape, but lacks the rich golden colouring on the head and rump, tending to be paler underneath, and more heavily streaked on top. The Little Grassbird, Megalurus gramineus, is slightly larger, lacks the golden colouring, has streaked underparts and a longer tail.
Distribution: The Golden-headed Cisticola occurs from Carnarvon in Western Australia, north-east to Darwin, Cape York and down the east coast as far as King Island and Adelaide. It is also found from India and southern China to the Bismarck Archipelago.
Habitat: The Golden-headed Cisticola lives in sub-coastal areas, wetlands, swamp margins, wet grasslands, rivers, and irrigated farmland. It prefers tangled vegetation close to the ground, but breeding males may be seen singing from tall weeds or other shrubs.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: Golden-headed Cisticolas feed quietly and inconspicuously on insects taken from the ground amongst tall grasses. They also feed on the seeds from the grasses among which they live.
Breeding: The Golden-headed Cisticola builds a rounded nest with a side entrance near the top, from fine grasses, plant down and spiders' web. Leaves are usually stitched to the outer surface and the nest is lined with soft plant down. Both the male and female help in nest-building although the female incubates the eggs on her own. The Golden-headed Cisticola sews leaves together to form part of its nest, giving it its other common name: Tailorbird.
Calls: Metallic, fluid buzzing calls, soft peeping and harsh scolding alarm calls. In breeding season calls almost continuously.
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 11cm
Average size: 10cm
Average weight: 10g
Breeding season: September to March
Clutch Size: 3 to 4

Size: 11cm
Habitat: Near swamps or rivers. In tall grass or shrubbery of nearby floodplains.
Distribution: From Northern Queensland southward through the interior of eastern Australia to new South Wales.
Food: In the wild they will feed on seeds found on the ground or close to it. Live food, Greens and a good finch mix will keep the finches happy whilst in the aviary environment.
Nesting: Builds a small dome nest that is slightly taller than it is wide. Made with green grasses and no entrance tunnel, the nest is sometimes lined with feathers. The nest are built low to the ground and usually made in amongst dense shrub an live grass.
Breeding: With clutch sizes between 4-6 eggs, the parents will share incubation responsibilities during the day. The nest is shared by both parents during the night. The young will be fully fledged at about 21 days. Try not to disturb the nest during the breeding period.
Sexing: Males have a dark spot below the beak which is not present on the female.

Essa é uma das maiores espécies de gafanhoto, o indivíduo adulto chega aos 11cm, na foto acima temos um indivíduo ainda jovem.
Metamorfose do gafanhoto:
Ao sair do ovo, a larva já é muito parecida com a forma que terá quando adulta, só que sem asas.
A cor também vai mudar quando crescer, seu tamanho aumentará e o aparelho reprodutor não está todo desenvolvido.
Como está "quase pronta", sua metamorfose não precisará ser completa.
Gafanhotos, libélulas e cigarras são típicos insetos hemimetábolos.
Ao sair do ovo, a larva do gafanhoto chega à superfície do solo, onde procura alimento e abrigo. Durante cinquenta dias sofre mudas de pele. Quando a última muda está para se realizar, o gafanhoto pendura-se num galho pelas pernas traseiras e permanece assim, de cabeça para baixo, durante algum tempo.
Então rompe-se o tegumento na região dorsal anterior de seu corpo e surge um gafanhoto adulto, com asas.

Double-barred Finch (landscape version)
Scientific Name: Taeniopygia bichenovii
Description: The Double-barred Finch is one of the long-tailed grass-finches and is notable for its 'owl-faced' features, having a white face bordered black. It is grey-brown, with white underparts banded black above and below the chest, giving the species its name. The wings are black, spotted white, the tail is black and the bill and legs are blueish-grey. Juveniles are dulller, with indistinct chest bars. These grass-finches usually feed in flocks and have a bouncing, undulating flight pattern.
Similar species: There are two subspecies of Double-barred Finch: the eastern race has a white rump and the western race has a black rump. Otherwise, distinguished form other finches by its 'owl-face'.
Distribution: The Double-barred Finch is found in the Kimberley region through to west of the Gulf of Carpentaria (the western race annulosa), and then from Cape York down the east coast to south-eastern Victoria (the eastern race, bichenovii).
Habitat: The Double-barred Finch prefers dry grassy woodlands and scrublands, open forests and farmlands. It is never far from water.
Seasonal movements: Nomadic; only an occasional visitor to extreme south-eastern part of range.
Feeding: The Double-barred Finch feeds on the ground on seeds. It will also take insects, especially when breeding. It usually feeds in groups or flocks of up to 40 birds.
Breeding: The Double-barred Finch builds a rounded nest, with a side entrance and short tunnel into a inner chamber lined with fine grass, feathers and plant down. The nest is placed between 1 m to 5 m from the ground in pandanus or thick shrubs, or even in the eaves of a building, often close to an active wasps' nest. Both parents incubate and feed the young.
The nestlings of Double-barred Finches beg with their heads down to one side. This is unique to the grass-finch and waxbill family.
Calls: A brassy, drawn-out 'tzeeaat, tzeeaat'; also a low 'tat tat'
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 12cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 10g
Breeding season: After rain in north and inland.
Clutch Size: 4 to 7 eggs
Incubation: 14 days

Chestnut-breasted Mannikin
Scientific Name: Lonchura castaneothorax
Description: The Chestnut-breasted Mannikin is a thick-set brown finch with a grey crown, black face and a heavy grey bill. It has a chestnut brown breast divided from white underparts by a black bar. The rump and tail are golden orange, with a black undertail. Females are paler than males and young birds are uniformly olive-brown above, pale below with a brown-buff chest and no black face or chest bar. Like other finches, this species is a very social bird and is most often seen in flocks.
Similar species: The related Yellow-rumped Mannikin, L. flaviprymna, which lacks the black face and chest bar, can interbreed with the Chestnut-breasted Mannikin and produce intermediate forms.
Distribution: The Chestnut-breasted Mannikin is found across northern and eastern coastal Australia, from the Kimberley region, Northern Territory, to the Shoalhaven River, New South Wales. It is also found in New Guinea.
Habitat: The Chestnut-breasted Mannikin is found in reed beds, long grasses, swamps and mangroves.
Seasonal movements: Locally nomadic, especially in the north. Can form flocks of several hundred birds.
Feeding: The Chestnut-breasted Mannikin feeds on grass seeds, usually on the stalk rather than from the ground. It will also eat winged termites at the beginning of breeding season.
Breeding: The Chestnut-breasted Mannikin nests in colonies, with the nests close together in grass clumps, sugar cane or reeds, less than 2 m from the ground. The rounded nest is made from green or dried grass blades and is lined with fine grasses. It lacks an entrance tunnel but the entrance may have a hood. Both parents build the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young, but only the female stays in the nest overnight.
Calls: Bell-like or drawn-out: 'teet'.
Minimum Size: 10cm
Maximum Size: 12cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 14g
Breeding season: Spring and autumn in south; with rains in north
Clutch Size: 4 to 6 eggs
Incubation: 13 days
