'I'm the mighty one'. The powerful Male Greenfinch in prime breeding plumage, West Yorkshire. So Sad to see the Greenfinch added to our UK RED LIST of our most endangered bird species December 1st 2021.

Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.

Greenfinch Notes:-

The greenfinch is one of Europe’s most widely distributed birds, breeding from the Mediterranean to the arctic, but absent from Iceland.

Since the 1950s it has become increasingly common in towns and villages, nesting in parks and gardens.

It has spread north in Scandinavia in recent years, a move thought to be due to the increasing popularity of garden bird feeding.

Few birds show as much enthusiasm for feeders as this finch, and peanuts, sunflowers and other seeds readily attract it.

Though it generally feeds in groups or small flocks, large autumn gatherings of several hundred birds are not uncommon.

Ringing has shown that individual birds will move 2000km, but British breeding birds seldom move more than 20km from their birthplace.

Ringing has also proved that numbers of greenfinch from the Norwegian population move to British in the winter.

Greenfinches are sociable birds, and often feed in company with other ground-foraging species, including tree sparrows, linnets, yellowhammers and reed buntings.

The song flight of the cock is distinctive: he flies with slow deep wing beats, singing continuously.

British birds generally start breeding in early April, with their first clutches complete by the end of the month.

The clutch consists of four to six eggs, and incubation takes 11-15 days, with fledging taking place 14-18 days later.

Two broods are usually attempted by each pair.

Young greenfinches can be confusing to identify as they lack the distinctive yellow on their primaries and tail that the adults show.

The plumage of adult male greenfinches from northern Europe is olive-green and yellow, and only looks bright in sunlight. Birds from south-eastern Europe tends to be distinctively brighter.

In Victorian times considerable numbers used to be caught for the cage-bird trade by trappers using clap nets, but they were never as popular as goldfinches or linnets.

These finches have been widely introduced to other countries, and today they are well established in south-east Australia, including Tasmania, both the North and South Islands of New Zealand and in Uruguay and Argentina.

There has been a marked decline in the British population since 2006 due to Trichomonosis. This is the name given to a disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas gallinae.

Birds suffering from Trichomonosis appear lethargic and puffed-up and have difficulty swallowing food. Death can take days, but sometimes weeks.

Trichomonosis is spread by birds sharing dirty feeders or drinking water; strict hygiene, including regular cleaning of feeders and disinfecting the ground under feeders, will help prevent outbreaks of the disease.

There are four closely related species of greenfinch found in south-east Asia: the oriental, Himalayan, Vietnamese and black-headed.

Nearly all the local names for the greenfinch refer to its colour. They include green linnet and green grosbeak. Living with birds notes.

Milkweed is the host plant for the Monarch Butterfly. The adult butterflies lay eggs on the milkweed and the caterpillars eat the leaves. This picture was taken in a field full of ripe seed pods releasing their fluffy seed, which disperse by riding the wind. This photo is one of 4 posted.

*Note: this pic was also processed in B&W

This is a mooring post on the Rochdale Canal at Salterhebble Halifax. No one can say those Victorian canal builders didn’t have a sense of humour.

Splendid Fairy-wren

Scientific Name: Malurus splendens

Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.

Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.

Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.

Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.

Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.

Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.

Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.

Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.

Minimum Size: 12cm

Maximum Size: 14cm

Average size: 13cm

Average weight: 9g

Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April

Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3

Incubation: 15 days

Nestling Period: 11 days

كيف لي أن أختلق حيآة لآ يوجد بهآ من ينطُق بإسمك ويُثير آلآف آلحكآيآ بدآخلي ؟

كيف وأنت لم ترضخ للقليل الكثير بـِ دآخلي لتزرع حُب أمك وأخوتك وحتى رفآقك

بِ قلبٍ أبى آن يتنازل عنك ()؟

كثرة حديثنآ سوياً ، كلمآتي التي بأئت مُماثلة لك تماماً كيف لي أن أُبدلهآ ؟

نوع سيارتك التي يُخطف قلبي عند الخروج بها يوماً تلو آلآخر ، كاظم الساهر

ومحمد عبده و أغآنيك المُفضلة تستنزف دموعي و تسلسل عبرآتي عند سمآعهم سهواً ،

عتبة منزلك التي كادت أن تكل مللاً من وجودي بالسابعة صباحاً والواحدة ظُهراً ()؟

بربّك ما الجريمة التي أرتكبت كيّ أُعاقب ببعدك ؟ والألم الذي طالما أهديتني بعد رحيلك ،

والوجع الذي كافح جداً ليتشبث فتاة متضرعة مكسورة ،

فَ لستُ أدري أُهناك متسعٌ للراحة قُربك أم أن الأمل يندثر بعد كُل نداء فاشل ؟

* من لدية نعمة النسيآن فليحمد الله مئات المرات ، فَ والله لمّ يجشع قلبي دماءاً سوى ، التعب و الحنين و الذكريات ()..

بقلمي / دانه الرحيم ..

hello everyone, i'm taking advantage of an unexpected 2 free hours between classes so i could edit this simple portrait .

this seems to be the only way i can do something about editing, flickr and al that. i am hating not having enough time but lets look on the bright side, i'm uploading :)

this is self portrait , as usual haha.

i edited like 5 different versions of this picture but this was the one i think looks better.

so i gotta go! hope everyone is doing fine :)

cheers!

i've been doing lots of homework and projects and i get really bored and want to distract myself from it for a while so i want to answer some questions on FORMSPRING

Thanks so much Bo for allowing me once more to play with your wonderful shot. This time it's Winter Warmer.

I hope this goes some way into warming you up. Living in such cold conditions (-18C) in Warsaw, Poland, you need help. Just hold the orb in your hands. :-)) LOL

Many thanks for your kind comments and favs.

It's a cliche shot I know but I couldn't resist. This cat has thumbs...I don't know if that's normal because I've never really studied cat's paws before...

One of the first shots through the new blad. Stayed at a cottage in Wiltshire with Alex and her parents; the cottage seemed to come with the aforementioned cat.

Also...I like pentagonal bokeh; which is good because this lens stops down to a pentagonal aperture :) View large to view the masses of bokeh type bits...I dunno what you call em.

First roll of 160NC...I quite like it.
