Grey-crowned Babbler
Scientific Name: Pomatostomus temporalis
Description: The Grey-crowned Babbler is the largest of Australia's four babbler species. It is dark brown-grey above, with a distinctive grey crown stripe and a dark face mask that contrasts with a white eyebrow. The chin and throat are white, running into a pale grey lower breast. It has a long, curved bill, short rounded wings with cinnamon brown wing patches and a long tail tipped white. The eye is pale yellow in adults. There is a darker-coloured subspecies, rubeculus, in north-western Australia (often called the Red-breasted Babbler), that has a rufous lower breast and darker crown stripe. The Grey-crowned Babbler is a noisy and gregarious bird, usually found in small groups of four to twelve, and is often seen on the ground or in low trees. It is sometimes called the Yahoo, after one of its calls.
Similar species: The Grey-crowned Babbler lacks the dark crown of other babblers and has a yellow rather than a dark eye.
Distribution: The Grey-crowned Babbler is widespread throughout north-western, northern, central and eastern Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea.
Habitat: The Grey-crowned Babbler is found in open forests and woodlands, favouring inland plains with an open shrub layer, little ground cover and plenty of fallen timber and leaf litter. May be seen along roadsides and around farms. In south-east Melbourne, small populations survive on golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: Grey-crowned Babblers feed on insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eat seeds. They forage in groups of two to fifteen birds on the ground among leaf litter, around fallen trees and from the bark of shrubs and trees (they tend to use trees more than other babblers).
Breeding: Grey-crowned Babblers live and breed in co-operative territorial groups of two to fifteen birds (usually four to twelve). Groups normally consist of a primary breeding pair along with several non-breeding birds (sometimes groups may contain two breeding pairs or two females that both breed). Most members of the group help to build nests, with the primary female contributing the most effort. Two types of nest are built: roost-nests (usually larger and used by the whole group) and brood-nests (for the breeding females), and often old nest sites are renovated and re-used from year to year. The large domed nests are placed in a tree fork 4 m - 7 m high and are made of thick sticks with projections that make a hood and landing platform for the entrance tunnel. The nest chamber is lined with soft grass, bark, wool and feathers. The brooding female (sometimes more than one) is fed by the other group members and all help to feed the nestlings. Larger groups tend to raise more young, and two broods are usually raised per season.
Calls: Loud scolding and chattering calls: 'wee-oo'. Also distinctive 'ya-hoo' duet by breeding female ('yah') and male ('ahoo') repeated six to eight times.

Descending from Ben MacDui we came acros this nest full of 8 eggs right by the 'path' we were following. They could be Snow Bunting or Red Grouse, but I could be wrong. A quick pic., leave them alone and move on.
Ben Macdui is the UK's 2nd highest peak (second only to Ben Nevis) and stands at 1309m (4294ft). After descending from this Munro we make a climb to the 2nd Munro of the day, Carn a' Mhaim (pronounced Carn-ah-Vame) at 1037m (3402ft).
first shot from last weeks hols ,several hundred shots to plough through and quiet a few goodies among them

Wow. Made me feel like I have thrown out a lot that would have fit with the theme. Somewhere in a box is my slide rule from college, but my dad had a grand old wooden one, long lost in the family. However, I remembered something that I still use and decided it fit the theme. I purchased this manual Boston Champion pencil sharpener when I was in high school. It has traveled with me since, to college, med school, Cuba, San Diego, Virginia, Chicago, Maryland, and finally here in Pasadena. It works fine -- you remember, insert the pencil and let the clutch grip it and then just turn the crank. The sound and feel told you when the pencil was nice and sharp. Anyway, some memories while I did the photography and polished the image -- it seemed fitting to make it black and white, too. Hope you enjoy -- HMM!
Another from Busy Bees. I just found the way the statue was clutching the rose, to be very emotive.

This is a bit different, because I usually like to upload landscpae photos with beautiful light, sunshine, lovely woodland scenes, rivers... this one seems to be a bit eerie... would you please tell me what you think about the processing?

Das ist ein bisschen anderes als meine sonstigen Bilder, gewöhnlich fotografiere ich Lichtstimmungen, Sonnenschein, schöne Waldszenen... das ist fast ein bisschen gruselig... würdet ihr mir sagen, wie ihr die Bearbeitung findet?
