Typically restricted to rocky shores, black guillemots utilize the cliffs, crevices and boulders for their nests, hunting the inshore waters for benthic prey. Compared to other auks they forage fairly close to the colony, in the breeding season mostly in inshore waters more than 50m in depth, farther afield in the winter months.
They dive for food from the surface, swimming underwater. They mainly eat fish and crustaceans, also some mollusks, insects and plant material.
Letztes Jahr, also im Sommer 2022, war die Gäubahn irgendwo zwischen Rottweil und Herrenberg gesperrt. Deswegen fuhr ein Ersatzverkehr Rottweil-Singen(-Konstanz). Der Ersatzverkehr wurde mit drei Umläufen, bestehend aus 101ern mit 4 oder 5 IC-Wagen gefahren. Am 10. August zog es mich dann mit einigen Mitfotografen nach Tuttlingen-Möhringen. Am Morgen genannten Tages fuhr also 101 051 ihren Ersatzzug richtung Rottweil, gegen fünf vor 12 klickte dann der Auslöser bei Möhringen. Im Vordergrund ist die Talstation des Skilift Möhringen zu sehen. 101 051 ist heute in blau unterwegs und gehört nun Train Charter Services (TCS).

On my walk yesterday at The Enchanted Forest I came across this lil guy. Not unusual to see them here, we often get several. What was a lil odd is it is mid December. I guess with the mild temps (today 15c YES) he is hanging around. Lots of open water so...I was practising shooting in Black and white. This GBH was maybe 20' away and wasn't nervous AT ALL (another shocker)
Straight from camera other then a crop. I struggle s shooting in B&W. Happy Day to you all.
Also called the Chestnut-tailed Starling (Sturnia malabarica) is resident of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh,etc.

Honestly .. even if the parking spaces are sometimes scarce .. you can park your car properly .. or !? 😐
Ligustrum vulgare (wild privet, also sometimes known as common privet or European privet) is a species of Ligustrum native to central and southern Europe, north Africa and southwestern Asia, from Ireland and southwestern Sweden south to Morocco, and east to Poland and northwestern Iran.
It is a semi-evergreen or deciduous shrub, growing to 3 m (rarely up to 5 m) tall. The stems are stiff, erect, with grey-brown bark spotted with small brown lenticels. The leaves are borne in decussate opposite pairs, sub-shiny green, narrow oval to lanceolate, 2–6 cm long and 0.5–1.5 cm broad. The flowers are produced in mid-summer in panicles 3–6 cm long, each flower creamy-white, with a tubular base and a four-lobed corolla ('petals') 4–6 mm diameter. The flowers produce a strong, pungent fragrance that many people find unpleasant. The fruit is a small glossy black berry 6–8 mm diameter, containing one to four seeds. The berries are poisonous to humans but readily eaten by thrushes, which disperse the seeds in their droppings.
I always thought it was ironic that the spider has this particular marking. Crosses represent both death and resurrection - in this case the prey only receives the former. I figured this was good for a combo BBBT and Arachtober. Happy Arachtobutt! She really displays the cross well here. It also really reads well in the thumbnail image.

The Beach Lighthouse (also known as the Lower Light) is a 44-foot (13 metre) tall sandstone lighthouse in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England.
The lighthouse was designed in 1839 by Decimus Burton and Capt H.M. Denham. Burton had been commissioned three years previously by Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood as the architect of the new town of Fleetwood. Unusual for a lighthouse, it is in neoclassical style with a square colonnaded base, square tower, and octagonal lantern and gallery.
The Lower Light stands on Fleetwood sea front and was built with its counterpart—the Upper Light, or Pharos Lighthouse—to provide a navigational guide to shipping entering the Wyre estuary. Together the lights provide a leading line when the Pharos Light is directly above that of the Lower Light. Together they provide a range of about 12 nautical miles (22 km). In turn they point to the Wyre Light on the North Wharf Bank, 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) offshore.
Both lighthouses were first illuminated 1 December 1840. Each was run off the town's gas supply, with a single parabolic reflector placed behind the burner; later they were converted to electricity.
The Beach Lighthouse was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 26 April 1950. The lighthouse is managed by the Port of Fleetwood. Wikipedia
The coypu, also known as coypu or, more rarely, coypu, is a species of rodent originating from South America and settled in Central Europe. It is classified either in its own family, Myocastoridae, or as a subfamily Myocastorinae within the spiny rats. According to recent molecular analyses, the genus undoubtedly belongs to the Echimyidae. Here it is the only aquatic representative in a group of otherwise terrestrial genera.
Wikipedia
Die Nutria, auch Biberratte oder seltener Sumpfbiber, Schweifbiber, Schweifratte oder Coypu genannt, ist eine aus Südamerika stammende und in Mitteleuropa angesiedelte Nagetierart. Sie wird entweder in einer eigenen Familie, Myocastoridae, oder als Unterfamilie Myocastorinae innerhalb der Stachelratten eingeordnet. Nach neueren molekularen Analysen gehört die Gattung unzweifelhaft zu den Echimyidae. Sie ist hier der einzige wasserlebende Vertreter in einer Gruppe sonst bodenlebender Gattungen.

"""This Santa is preforming his task by educating the young reindeer how they should run on gras, when there is not snow at all! It happens more and more these days, that they have to travel through areas under different weather conditions.
As you can see, they are good listeners and also eager to start their actually training on the gras. Santa's sleigh with the big bag is already on standby."""
These origami models are all designed by Jo Nakashima, except for the bag, which is a traditional origami Waterbomb. And he has made a video-tutorial for all the models:

Also, call locally Carancho, it is a distinct species from the Northern Crested Caracara we had previously seen in Texas and it is not as common in the Falklands as the Striated Caracara. See previously posted images underneath.
Also named Turdus Migratorius.
The vast majority migrant North from USA in March. Breeds take place throughout Ontario and in winter fly south back USA.
Also, da komme ich her. Man erkennt die Hauptstrasse durch den Ort, die von Bourg-Saint-Maurice hochkommt und dann weiter zum Iseran führt. Im Ort selbst heißt die Route de l'Iseran Avenue Olympique.
Also known as Sideroxylon Rosa, this Australian native tree is indigenous to eastern Australia. It has distinctive, rose blossoms and very dark brown to black coloured bark which is deeply furrowed and does not shed. ... A hardy tree that can grow in areas of very little rainfall but can also tolerate high rainfall.

Mikado, also known as pick-up-sticks or jackstraws, is a game of skill of European origin that, at least according to (German) Wikipedia, was already played in ancient Rome. It is named after the highest scoring stick (blue), the "Mikado", which refers to the Japanese emperor.
This is a slightly different, new type of Mikado, and its rules are simple: clear the game board without tossing the burning candle over or lighting the "active" playing candles in the process, and do it before the red candle burns down (which happens quite fast with these thin candles).
Initially, I wanted to build a much larger Mikado pile with more candles, but they kept rolling away, so I focused on creating a nice-looking pile instead.
Size info: Each candle (except the lit red one, which I cut in half) is 6 cm/2,36 inches long, so together with the negative space (I also slightly cropped the image), the width is about 2,75 inches.

Lysandra coridon has a wingspan of 30–36 millimetres (1.2–1.4 in).[4] These small butterflies present a sexual dimorphism. This species' physical appearance can be described as males having pale silvery-blue upperside of the wings with a submarginal line of grey spots on the hindwings and a thin brown and white chequered fringe. Females have dark brown upperside of wings, with marginal orange spots and also with chequered fringes.[5] The underside of the wings show a light ochre colouration, several dark spots surrounded by white, a submarginal line of black marks, a series of marginal orange spots on the hindwings and a blue dusting near the body.
As with many blue butterflies, separation from similar species in the field is on the underside markings. Aberrations are common.
