The Barking Owl (Ninox connivens), also known as the winking owl, is a nocturnal species of bird native to mainland Australia and parts of New Guinea and the Moluccas. They are a medium-sized brown owl and have a distinctive voice with calls ranging from a barking dog sound to a high-pitched human-like howl of great intensity. For a short period prior to 2016, the Red List of Threatened Species named this species a "barking boobook". However, this is not used as a common name in this species area in Australia or other English-speaking areas and has now been corrected to barking owl.

Die Belleule (Ninox connivens),auch bekannt als die zwinkernde Eule,ist eine nachtaktive Vogelart, die auf dem australischen Festland und Teilen Neuguineas und der Molukkenbeheimatet ist. Sie sind eine mittelgroße braune Eule und haben eine charakteristische Stimme mit Rufen, die von einem bellenden Hundegeräusch bis zu einem schrillen menschenähnlichen Heulen von großer Intensität reichen.
Für einen kurzen Zeitraum vor 2016 bezeichnete die Rote Liste der bedrohten Arten diese Art als "bellendes Boobook". Dies wird jedoch in Australien oder anderen englischsprachigen Gebieten in diesem Artengebiet nicht als gebräuchlicher Name verwendet und wurde nun auf bellende Eule korrigiert.

I had never seen this ghost like webbing before, but I found it strangely beautiful. A search revealed that it is made by Bark Lice (common name) and serve as protection from the elements for their colonies. They do not harm the trees and are not even really lice, but beneficial insects.

It was really great to find this Barking Owl (Ninox connivens) recently, which was a lifer. I was hoping it'd open its eyes fully for a photo, but it kept them shut for almost the entire time I stayed with it; this was as wide as it opened them.
Unfortunately, I was photographing into a bright overcast sky, which affected the contrast and colours, but I've tried to restore these during editing. Most Barking Owls on Google Images are largely grey, but this one was more rufous-brown.
This is a well-known bird, and I've seen several great images taken by other photographers of it with its eyes open wider.
I pass a row of madrone trees on my daily walk which have really interesting branch structure and bark which peels off in long red papery strips, leaving a yellow-orange trunk exposed. Pacific Madrone is a native food with edible bark and berries. The berries can be eaten fresh off the tree, cooked and added to fruit dishes, simmered into a non-alcoholic cider, or dried and stored for future use. The bark can be used to make a refreshing tea which is believed to have medicinal properties.

Some beautiful bark patterns. Cropped, because the tree was the other side of a main road, I was cold & tired, and forgot I had a zoom lens. Idiot.
The Looking close … on Friday group has chosen Tree bark this week. This palm tree is growing in the grounds of St Mary's Church in Crawley
He posed pretty for several shots, but I always enjoy his barking photos best. Jonah is either asleep or barking so this feels more like him, to me.
I got to photograph part of a herding trial today, which was a first for me. As a result, I rented a 70-200mm last night and Jonah was my test subject as I figured it out. Those things are heavy! How do you guys do it?!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
A first in my garden as I usually just see the Northern Crab Spiders. This is in the Genus Bassaniana. Like all crab spiders, they wait for prey to approach and then quickly grab and subdue their meal. They are known to take prey much larger than themselves. Although they aren't considered significant pollinators, they do collect pollen on their bodies and disperse it as they move around - you can see pollen on this spider's abdomen.
Week 1. "Shades of brown in nature" for "Compositionally Challenged" group.
Close up shot of a tree in the St Peter Mancroft church graveyard in the centre of town. To emphasis the brown of the exposed trunk I have used photoshop to desaturate the majority of the bark which was covered in green algae.
