La barge hudsonienne est un grand limicole, possédant un long bec légèrement recourbé vers le haut et orné d’une extrémité foncée, avec la base rougeâtre. Il a aussi de longues pattes noirâtres.
L’adulte en été est d’une couleur rousse intense, s’étendant de la poitrine au ventre. La poitrine et les flancs sont densément rayés, alors que l’abdomen est plus finement barré. Les côtés du cou et de la tête sont gris pâle avec des rayures foncées denses, contrastant avec la poitrine rousse. La queue est noire avec une large bande blanche à la base.
L’adulte en hiver a les parties supérieures, la tête, le cou et la poitrine unis gris ardoise, et un sourcil court et clair. Les ailes portent des rayures foncées et une bande blanche plus étroite que chez la barge à queue noire, très distincte en vol.
Le canal de la Martinière a été inauguré en 1892. S’étirant sur 15 km, il fut creusé pour remédier aux difficultés d’accès au port de Nantes depuis l’estuaire de la Loire. Aujourd’hui, il sert d’équipement de régulation hydraulique et s’y croisent promeneurs, pêcheurs, amateurs de loisirs nautiques et observateurs de la faune.
An image taken even later as the sun rises at Hillarys boat harbour. Note, even more colour and the moon has almost set in this image. Picture is taken across the marina where the new moorings are to be.
This is my only picture of a barge - if you look close enough...
I suppose it's not really a picture of a barge after all.
Down near Burlington Iowa on the mighty Mississippi River a barge move down and under the railway lift. Once the barge goes by - they lower the track section back down so trains can cross the river.
I will post a close up this bridge this week.
Once a common boat, used to bring goods into central London from the estuary and beyond, only a few Thames sailing barges have been preserved. The flat bottomed boat could access canals and the hinged mast lowered to go under bridges. In rougher seas the leeboards could be lowered for stability as it had such a shallow keel.
MV Syntan, an ex-working barge previously operated by Richard Hodgson’s Tannery to carry hides and other tanning materials from Hull docks to the Beverley Beck, and then by road to the Tannery which was situated in Flemingate.
Syntan now acts as a museum, heritage centre and community resource for meetings, parties and so on. Seen on the Humber during The Queen Platinum Jubllee Celebrations .
Chaque fois que j'ai vu cet oiseau, il était toujours hors de porté mais cette occasion était la bonne !
