Je pense, quant à moi, que la relation à l'Infini n'est pas un savoir, mais un Désir.
Ethique et Infini - Emmanuel Levinas
The Lammergeier lives for around 30 years.
At 6 years old, its annual mortality rate is approximately 5 %. The adult birds begin breeding only at the age of 8 years, producing on average one fledgling every 3 years. The growth in numbers of the population is therefore extremely slow. Even a slight increase in death rate or disturbance to success in breeding can drastically affect the development of the population.
Unfortunately, there are many risks for the Bearded vulture, associated with its life in the mountains :
collision with overhead cables
poisoning and intoxication by contamination and pollutants which accumulate in the food chain
interference with reproduction from human activities, such as general aviation and free flying, outdoor and mountain sports.
By the beginning of the twentieth century the Bearded Vulture was totally extinct in the Alps. Although there is room for some optimism, it remains one of the most endangered species in Europe. After thirty years of programmes of reintroduction throughout the alpine region, in 2014 only 23 couples reproduced successfully, 9 of them in France. For this reason, the Bearded Vulture is the subject of a National Action Plan (PNA - Plan National d'Actions in France), which guides the restoration and conservation of the species.
*Thank you all so much for your kind comments and Favs. It’s most appreciated!
Its always a good day for me when I bump into a couple of one of my favourite little birds the charismatic Dippers. This pair where busying themselves on the fast flowing river in the centre of Parkend Gloucestershire at the weekend :-)
ippon betekend in 1 keer.
Nou dat ging hier niet helemaal op.
Het idee kwam op, maar toen de uitvoering nog.
Na wat heen een weer draaien met de zoomlens en verschillende belichtingen was dit uiteindelijk een aanvaardbaar resultaat.
Is het nog niet helemaal, maar we zijn op de goede weg.
Wat getracht is op tijdens de opname van 2,5 sec. in eerste instantie niet in te zoomen, maar de belichting/scherpte eerst goed in te laten werken op de sporters en op het laatste moment voor het sluiten van de sluiter (bent u er nog?) een slinger aan de lens te geven.
10 Jaar King Willy vandaag. Speciaal voor de kroning werd VIRM 9520 tot K(r)oningstrein verheven. In een lekker oranjezonnetje zien we dit treinstel op 15 juni 2013 passeren op weg richting Venlo.
