Much of the head and underparts of the Beryl-spangled Tanager (Tangara nigroviridis) are black, heavily spotted, the spots appearing bluish or greenish. This feature gives them their brightly-colored, "spangled" appearance. Like other Tangara, they are omnivorous, feeding on both fruit and arthropods.

Another great image popped up on Instagram by someone who harvests other’s photos and posts them without attribution or even information about what we’re seeing. So I have no guilt feelings about posting it here with her name restored. Looks like she’s using a 57t chainring on her Ron Kitching.
Small tanager found in Andean subtropical zone from Venezuela to Bolivia. Unmistakable: entire body boldly spotted with bright blue-green, sharply contrasting with black mask and back. No other tanager has such a spangled appearance. Sexes alike. A fairly common member of mixed flocks from around 1,500–2,500 m, within forest and also at edges or in second growth.
This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.

The Beryl-spangled Tanager is found at high elevations in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Much of the head and underparts are black, heavily spotted, the spots appearing bluish or greenish. This feature gives them their brightly-colored, "spangled" appearance.

Nobody messes with feral Beryl the Peril. This is the name that came to mind (borrowed from the Beano comic mag I used to read along with Chaucer and Dickens, as a child). Those feathers strewn around where she lives near Cadnam common, are a sign she's been in action.
Beryl was famous for racing on big gears. This is the 68T chainring that was fitted to the tandem she and daughter Denise (as stoker) used to set tandem competiton records towards the end of their racing careers.
Denise Burton-Cole displays it here at the launch of a new Beryl Burton biography by Jeremy Wilson at Morley library on 27 July 2022.
This was one of the first hot springs I actually got to view when I arrived in Yellowstone National Park, last summer. The parking lot (yeah, that huge parking lot) for Upper Geyser Basin and Old Faithful was totally full, and I couldn't find parking anywhere. So, I decided to drive on into Gardiner and check in to my hotel there. Along the way, I saw a sign for Beryl Spring and the small parking area, plus an empty space. I was pretty excited.
Beryl Spring is so named for the jewel-like color of the water. It's considered one of the hottest hot springs in the park, with a temperature of about 182 degrees Fahrenheit. It also makes a really cool hissing/rushing sound as the steam constantly issues forth.
Capturing this view can be tricky, I discovered, and a vertical wide-angle shot provided the best overall view. That stream of water you see near the bottom of the shot ebbs and flows.

Many drive past this hot spring and fumarole even though they are right beside the road and ample parking is nearby. A turnout allows you to look into the boiling blue waters of Beryl Spring about a mile south of Gibbon Meadows.
T. Scott Bryan says,
"Beryl Spring is superheated, constantly boiling and surging as to perpetually throw water as high as 3 or 4 feet. Beryl has appeared in some lists as a geyser, but there is no evidence it has ever had intermittent activity as a true geyser except perhaps on a few occasions after the 1959 earthquake. The name is an allusion to the pale-blue color of the pool that resembles aquamarine, a gem form of the mineral beryl."

I've a lot of catching up to do, sorry, been under the weather for a couple of weeks together with a problem with Red's tail which required complete rest for a few days followed by a gradual re-introduction to his walks. Both now feeling a lot better thankfully.
