A lagoon is a body of saline water that is partially separated from the adjacent sea and which keeps a proportion of saltwater at low tide. As well as providing an important habitat for seabirds, waterfowl and marshland birds, lagoons also contain unique invertebrates and specialist plants which make this type of habitat important to the UK’s overall biodiversity.
37 acres of littoral land and saline lagoons was purchased by the Society in 1991, with assistance from English Nature (now Natural England), after almost four years of fundraising and negotiations with the land owner. This area lies immediately south of a 33 acre area, which includes Easington Lagoon, which is owned by the Environment Agency and leased to the Society. A further 22 acres of land to the direct south of the Lagoons was purchased in 2000. This package of land is know as Beacon Lagoons, though has also variously been known as Beacon Ponds, Kilnsea Lagoons and Easington Lagoons. It was initially purchased primarily because of the Society’s interest in the little tern colony situated there.
The BLNR contains a variety of coastal habitats including sand dunes, shingle, salt marsh, saline lagoons and pools. The site is situated on the Holderness coast, 2km north of the Spurn peninsula and south-west of the village of Easington. It holds SSSI designation and is a potential SPA and a proposed Ramsar site because it comprises a variety of important features including:
· Its saline lagoons, which are a UK priority Annex 1 habitat under the EC ‘Habitats Directive’
· Its importance for its colony of over 1% of the British breeding population of little terns on its shingle beach and as a feeding and roosting site for important numbers of migratory birds
· Lagoons are included as a priority feature under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan
· Plants and animals which are either mainly or entirely restricted to a lagoonal habitat. These species include flora and fauna protected under schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).
The SHCS is responsible for the management of the BLNR, with the Spurn Bird Observatory involved in the organisation of the Little Tern Protection Scheme. A Tern warden (kindly funded by BP Exploration) is employed during the breeding season to help protect the birds against predation and from the accidental intrusion of beach users.
The water in the lagoons is strongly saline but not tidal, though storm surges may occasionally temporarily connect the lagoons with the sea. These breaches introduce marine organisms that may survive in the lagoons for several years. There is also an area of non-tidal salt marsh and some low dunes.
The main threat to the flora and fauna of the lagoons is the erosion of the beach by the North Sea and by the rise in sea levels. This ultimately threatens the site with ‘coastal squeeze’ whereby the lagoons will become tidal, eventually eliminating them altogether. It is expected the southern addition will eventually acquire a similar aspect to the present lagoons, which will prolong the life of the habitat and its associated flora and fauna.
Some vulnerable plant species such as Divided Sedge (Carex divisa) and Saltwort (Salsola Kali) occur here, along with Spiral Tasselweed (Ruppia cirrhosa) which is close to qualifying as a threatened species in the near future, and Sea Wormwood (Seriphidium maritimum) which is an Internationally important species.
Invertebrates characteristic of such lagoons as these are found here. Species include the mollusc Ventrosia ventrosa, the crustaceans Palaemonetes varians and Idotea chelipes, and the bryozoans Conopeum seurati. These are just a small example of the many different species in the lagoons.

Built for the Redemption Round of Bio-Cup 2019. Since my theme for this round is Manmade Disasters: Pollution, I decided to build a character loosely themed around radioactive/toxic waste. The large stickered parts, around which this guy is based, are from Ultra Agents set.

Die Karl-Theodor-Brücke, besser bekannt als Alte Brücke, ist eine Brücke über den Neckar in Heidelberg. Sie verbindet die Altstadt mit dem gegenüberliegenden Neckarufer am östlichen Ende des Stadtteils Neuenheim. Die Alte Brücke aus Neckartäler Sandstein wurde 1788 unter Kurfürst Karl Theodor als insgesamt neunte Brücke an dieser Stelle errichtet. Heute gehört sie zu den bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Heidelbergs.

On 27 September 1982 I went to a Neil Young concert at Wembley Arena, taking advantage of a £2.50 "Nightrider" ticket from Northampton. I used this ticket for my only visit to the Croxley Green branch (Croxley Green was closed as from 29 September 2003).
This is Hatch End station, with two trains formed of the Class 501 units that formerly worked on this line passing. I think the train on the left is formed of unit '163 (61163/70163/75163) on a Watford Junction-Euston service.

Mehrere Tausend Anhänger der rechtspopulistischen und rassistischen AfD marschierten heute durch die Berliner Innenstadt um gegen die ihrer Meinung nach verfehlte Asylpolitik und die Regierung im besonderen zu demonstrieren.Es kam am Rande zu mehreren Übergriffen,wobei anwesende AfD-Sympathisanten vermummt und gewalttätig versuchten auf Gegendemonstranten los zu gehen.Anwesende Polizisten unterbanden dies zwar,ahndeten jedoch die mehrfachen Verstöße gegen das Versammlungsgesetz nicht.Im Gegensatz dazu wurden mehrere Gegendemonstranten sehr brutal und schmerzhaft festgenommen und das meist wegen derselben Delikte welche man den Rechtsradikalen und Nazis durchgehen ließ.Naja der NSU scheint bei den Berliner Polizeibeamten noch nicht bekannt zu sein.Bilder unterliegen dem Copyright.

Dublin Bus (Harristown) Volvo B7TL / Alexander ALX400 AV 163 (00-D-70163) on College Green, Dublin 14th April 2005.
Noted in 2016 with the Belfast Bus Company as BGZ 1237.
The gymnasium which was ever used as a sports stadium of the Tokyo Olympics. It is Japanese only public broadcasting, a building of NHK that is seen in the right depths.
A quick Sunday morning alternative build. Made of pieces from the Vehicle in 70163: Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown set only.
Not seen in the picture: Stinger that swings down between engines when lifted into the air.
When placed on a table the stinger pushes the upper wing upwards as designed. I really like this feature, given the part constraints :-)
All feedback is much appreciated! Do you think, the background OK?
Now I'm off to improve it with parts from my entire collection! :-)
