Village Weaver (m)
(Ploceus cucullatus)
The village weaver (Ploceus cucullatus) is a widespread species of weaver found across sub-Saharan Africa. They are notable for their gregarious nature and are often seen in flocks. It is easily recognized by its red eye, and bright yellow and black plumage, which is mostly seen in males. It measures about 15-17 cm (5.9-6.7 in) in length, with the males typically being slightly larger than the females. The breeding males of the more northern subspecies have an all black head with a chestnut nape. As we get further south in its range, the chestnut nape disappears and the amount of black on the head decreases. The southernmost subspecies only have a black face and throat. Outside of breeding season, the male loses its black head and face, which turns yellow to olive. The body becomes mostly grey, with wings remaining yellow and black. The female has a more yellow body plumage than the nonbreeding male (but not as bright yellow as that of a breeding male). Her back is also more streaked than that of the nonbreeding male.
The village weaver is very similar to other species, such as the lesser masked weaver (Ploceus intermedius) and the southern masked weaver (Ploceus velatus). The lesser masked weaver has more black on the front of its head (compared to the subspecies of village weaver it shares range with), and a white eye. The southern masked weaver can be more challenging to separate from the village weaver, as they both have red eyes, but the southern masked weaver has more of an olive-green back, and not a black and yellow back.
The last narrow gauge state railway in the Czech Republic runs from Tremesna to Osoblaha. The latter, by the way, is also a bit famous for his silly sounding German name of Hotzenplotz. I visited the railway in 1996 and made this picture of a "long" train comprising 2 coaches. This was due to pupils returning home from school in the afternoon, eventhough it was during the summer holiday season. The rest of the day only one coach was sufficient. The stream line shaped locomotive is an iconic class TU47 from the 1950s. Today, 2023, the railway is still in use, with the same (70 year old) rolling stock. See my 2023-pictures:

AUF DER SUCHE NACH MÖGLICHKEITEN,
MÖGLICHES FESTZUHALTEN (Heinz Gasper 1980)
Als gebürtiger Düsseldorfer hat es mich schon sehr früh in die Ferne gezogen. Frankfurt, München, Wien, Graz und seit 1999 wohnhaft in Jennersdorf, im wunderschönen Südburgenland.
Im ausgeübten Beruf als Werbegestalter und Grafiker (1966-1992) aber auch in der Selbständigkeit (bis 2012) ist die bildende Kunst immer allgegenwärtig gewesen.
Meine Leidenschaft sind Experimente mit verschiedenen Hilfsmitteln und Materialien wie zum Beispiel:
Kurzfilme mit und ohne Kamera - Kodak-Sofortbilder ganz ohne Kamera - Negativstreifen und Dias anders gesehen - PC-Fehler zur kreativen Weiterverarbeitung verwenden - Digitalfotografie und ihre Möglichkeiten mit einem Apple-Computer kombinieren und verfeinern - und bis heute noch vieles mehr entdecken...

I was amazed to see this, although maybe I shouldn't have been since it's the second one I've seen in Newquay. Registered as an FS Lublina 07 and imported in 2017. 72,000km at the last MOT. I like things like this. Compared to a modern van it has a functional and honest look about it rather than something which is trying to make a fashion statement whilst (according to people I know who own them) being a nightmare of high costs and unreliability. I've no idea how reliable this would be, but I bet it's easy to repair.
ZUK production ran from 1958 to 1998. In latter years the company was owned by Daewoo.
