Not forecast but a sharp shower in London today!

 

Thanks for visiting.

 

Take care out there......

I am always attracted to grain bins en masse, even if my husband won't stop the car!

Avis à nos amis francophones ne parlant pas anglais : "bin" signifie "poubelle" et "bizarre" est un peu la version finale du mot "weird", évoluant ensuite en "strange" pour finir en "bizarre" quand vraiment, vraiment... VRAIMENT, c'est... bizarre ! :-))

 

Et quoi de plus bizarre que les attitudes de rues qu'on peut croiser au pif ? :-))

Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca). I hope my identification and classification is right, feel free to correct me.

Adults and juveniles.

This is a corrugated metal grain bin or corn crib. I looked up what the difference is between a silo and a grain bin.

 

“Grain bins and silos do not store the same products.

Grain bins store dry grain that will be used for animal feed, human consumption, or fuel. This includes, but is not limited to: shelled corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.

Silos store silage–typically something like green grass or chopped corn–which is fairly moist and is fed to livestock. The grasses or corn are more or less “pickled” so that they can keep for a long time and feed the livestock during dry seasons or other times when they have no other food to eat.”

This grain bin has not been used in a long time. It is missing the door and has a nice rusty patina on the roof. The top of the roof has holes for aeration of the grain. You will also notice that it is covered in vines, a critical point that I had missed (and it is my Group). Luckily, Vince Montalbano (autofocus) pointed it out to me!

.. mal weg!

Naught to do but go through the catalogue. Not sure what I will be posting in six weeks time with no new content.

The Australian White Ibis (Threskiornis molucca ) is a native bird originally found in freshwater wetlands. Loss of wetland habitat over the last half century or so has seen an influx of these birds to towns and major cities, where they have adapted to urban environments. They have become quite fearless in scavenging food from people, prompting common reference to them as bin chickens. Ballina, NSW North Coast, Australia.

The plastic earth screws were no match for Bruno. We’ve had lots of visits from this bear and/or it’s friends.

Tip turkey, dumpster chook, rubbish raptor – the Australian white ibis goes by many unflattering names. But it is a true urban success story, scavenging to survive in cities across Australia as wetlands have been lost.

 

The Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca) is a wading bird of the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long downcurved bill, and black legs. While it is closely related to the African sacred ibis, the Australian white ibis is a native Australian bird. Contrary to urban myth, it is not a feral species introduced to Australia by people, and it does not come from Egypt.

It is too freekin' hot outside to shoot anything new, so I had to head back into the archives!

Thanks as always for all comments, Awards, Invites, notes and Faves!!
