Mute Swan on the lake of Saint-Point, Jura, France.
Swan, largest waterfowl species of the subfamily Anserinae, is generally classified in the genus Cygnus. There are around 7 different species of swan found around the world. The size, colour and behaviour a swan individual is largely dependent on it's species and the area in which it lives.
Today swans are a threatened species of animal mainly due to hunting and habitat loss. Pollution (mainly water pollution) is also a major reason as why the swan populations are declining.
Classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

Bohemian Waxwing - Bombycilla garrulus
The waxwings are passerine birds classified in the genus Bombycilla. They are brown and pale grey with silky plumage, a black and white eyestripe, a crest, a square-cut tail and pointed wings. Some of the wing feathers have red tips, the resemblance of which to sealing wax gives these birds their common name. According to most authorities, this is the only genus placed in the family Bombycillidae, although Phainoptila is sometimes included. There are three species, the Bohemian waxwing (B. garrulus), the Japanese waxwing (B. japonica) and the cedar waxwing (B. cedrorum).
Waxwings are not long-distance migrants, but move nomadically outside the breeding season. Waxwings mostly feed on fruit, but at times of year when fruits are unavailable they feed on sap, buds, flowers and insects. They catch insects by gleaning through foliage or in mid-air. They often nest near water, the female building a loose nest at the fork of a branch, well away from the trunk of the tree. She also incubates the eggs, the male bringing her food to the nest, and both sexes help rear the young.
They are not true long-distance migrants, but wander erratically outside the breeding season and move south from their summer range in winter. In poor berry years huge numbers can erupt well beyond their normal range, often in flocks that on occasion number in the thousands
Kalligrafiepinsel in verschiedenen Stärken!
Ich wünsche Euch einen erfolgreichen Montag und eine gute gesunde Woche, liebe Freunde! Danke für Euren Besuch freut mich das Ihr hier ward!
"Das Ansehen der Kalligrafie ist in der Kulturgeschichte überall dort gegeben, wo das Abschreiben heiliger Texte selbst als sakraler Vorgang eingestuft wird: So etwa traditionell im Christentum bei der Kopie der Bibel oder im Islam, wo die Basmala die häufigste kalligrafische Form ist. Noch heute ist auch für die chinesische und japanische Schriftkultur die Kalligrafie wichtig und inspirierend. Wichtiger als die Leserlichkeit ist dabei die Erzielung perfekter ästhetischer Ausgewogenheit und das Sichtbarmachen von Emotionen." Wikipedia de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalligrafie

Calligraphy brushes in different thicknesses!
I wish you a successful Monday and a good healthy week, dear friends! Thank you for your visit and I am glad you were here!
"The prestige of calligraphy is given in cultural history wherever the copying of sacred texts is itself classified as a sacred process: For example, traditionally in Christianity when copying the Bible or in Islam, where the Basmala is the most common calligraphic form. Even today, calligraphy is still important and inspiring for the Chinese and Japanese writing culture. More important than legibility is the achievement of perfect aesthetic balance and the visualization of emotions". Wikipedia de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalligrafie

Wigeon - Anas Penelope
Length: 43-48cm
Wingspan: 80cm
Weight: 650-800g
Average lifespan: 3 years
Conservation status
Classified in the UK as Amber under the Birds of Conservation Concern 4: the Red List for Birds (2015). Protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
When to see
January to December
A common dabbling duck, the wigeon is a winter visitor that gathers in large numbers, particularly on wet grasslands, floodplain meadows, flooded gravel pits and reservoirs with gently sloping edges where they can easily get out onto the grassy banks. Wigeon can be spotted dabbling in close-knit groups or flying in tight formations over wetlands.
The wigeon is a medium-sized duck with a round head and short bill. Males are grey with a pink breast, orange head, yellow forehead and obvious white wing patches that can be seen when they fly. Females are similar to Mallard females, but with rusty brown plumage and a pointed tail.
Found throughout the country in winter, with large numbers congregating in coastal areas. It breeds in Scotland and Northern England in very small numbers.

Did you know?
The large numbers of wigeon that visit our wetlands in winter help to place this bird on the Amber list of the UK's Red List for Birds - a national measure of the state of, and threats to, our bird populations.
In a corner of Lisbon, in the neighbourhood of Mouraria, you’ll find the escadinhas de São Cristóvão, where an artist collective has created the impressive mural “Fado Vadio”. This inspired and original tribute to fado, Lisbon’s iconic music and classified as intangible cultural heritage, is one of the city’s must-see places. The symbols and figures from the history of fado have been portrayed over various walls. Fernando Maurício and Maria Severa, lyrics, bread and water on the table: these are just a few of the elements decorating this unique corner of Lisbon.

The black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa) is a large, long-legged, long-billed shorebird first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. It is a member of the godwit genus, Limosa. There are four subspecies, all with orange head, neck and chest in breeding plumage and dull grey-brown winter coloration, and distinctive black and white wingbar at all times.
Its breeding range stretches from Iceland through Europe and areas of central Asia. Black-tailed godwits spend (the northern hemisphere) winter in areas as diverse as the Indian subcontinent, Australia, New Zealand, western Europe and west Africa. The species breeds in fens, lake edges, damp meadows, moorlands and bogs and uses estuaries, swamps and floods in (the northern hemisphere) winter; it is more likely to be found inland and on freshwater than the similar bar-tailed godwit. The world population is estimated to be 634,000 to 805,000 birds and is classified as Near Threatened. The black-tailed godwit is the national bird of the Netherlands.

The image below shows a Saddle-billed Stork dipping the chicken into the water.
Saddle-billed Storks are classified as Endangered in South Africa. This huge and strikingly coloured bird habitat; is wetlands, where it feeds on frogs, small birds, fish, and insects. When hunting they will wade slowly through the water until they see potential prey. They will stab at their intended prey with their bills and may toss it into the air before catching and swallowing it.

Killdeer are classified with plovers, "shore birds". Kildeer, however, are not often seen at a shoreline. In fact, most of the Kildeer I have seen have been in grassy fields, and sometimes in parking lots. This one was seen in the mudflats at Lake St Clair Metropark, just where a plover "should be." :-)
No, they don't "kill deer". Like many birds, their name reflects the Killdeer's high-pitched call: "Kide-deer".
Large songbird species in the shrike family (Laniidae) native to North America and Siberia. Long considered a subspecies of the great grey shrike, it was classified as a distinct species in 2017.
Northern Shrike breeds in taiga and tundra and winters in southern Canada and the northern United States. It feeds on small birds, mammals, and insects, sometimes impaling them on spines or barbed wire fences.
An estimated 90% of the North American population of Northern Shrike breeds in the Canadian boreal forest.
This uncommon and localized Australian endemic was the reason for our trip to Deniliquin.
It is very difficult to find in the middle of the grasslands, and to see it at night we need to walk in the dark in the middle of the plains covered with dry grass and with the help of a guide who incredibly discovered it in the middle of nowhere.
Contrary to what is usual, the females of this species are more beautiful and colourful.
It is classified as endangered

Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus and jonquil are used to describe all or some members of the genus. Narcissus has conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup- or trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white or yellow, with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona. Narcissus were well known in ancient civilisation, both medicinally and botanically, but formally described by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum. The genus is generally considered to have about ten sections with approximately 50 species. The number of species has varied, depending on how they are classified, due to similarity between species and hybridisation. The genus arose some time in the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene epochs, in the Iberian peninsula and adjacent areas of southwest Europe. Wikipedia

Netherlands, Den Haag, KunstMuseum, Hall, Vide,
Staircase (uncut)
I visited the KunstMuseum (GemeenteMuseum) for the Base Line - Music Meets Art exhibition. But first an image of the iconic interior of the building.
Shown here are the entrance hall and the staircase. It shows well how beautifully H.P. Berlage detailed the building and its interior. And it’s because of this detailing- the ornamentation, the accentuation of the corners, etc you can see it’s early modern. It didn’t yet attain the clean and sometimes austere quality of the work of next-generation modernists like Rietveld. This generation of the Nieuwe Bouwen classified Berlage as an important “wegbereider” (a trailblazer) of modernism but, not as a true modernist.
A famous example of "Nieuwe Bouwen" is the Rotterdam Van Nelle fabriek: here. This makes the Haags Museum apart from its obvious beauty extra interesting - it exemplifies the history of modernism really well.
This is number 13 of the Kunstmuseum album and 1707 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism.
Very rare and very localized.
It is classified as Critically Endangered...
Ankarafantsika National Park - Madagascar
"Silverbird" a beautiful flycatcher named after its silver head and back, with a contrasting vibrant orange-rufous underpart. Spotted this beauty while on a Game Drive. The daintiness of this little beauty contrasts the harsh thorns of the acacia, especially the huge thorn poking into its chest, which disturbed me while shooting. Interestingly, it is the only species classified in the monotypic genus Empidornis. This often occurs when close relative species go extinct, leaving a lone survivor, or when a species is so genetically distinct that it does not fit near any other living organisms. It has a sweet, thrush-like voice featuring high-pitched squeaks, whistles, and chatty phrases. Wikipedia, eBird
Marsh Tit - Poecile palustris
Globally, the marsh tit is classified as Least Concern, although there is evidence of a decline in numbers (in the UK, numbers have dropped by more than 50% since the 1970s, for example). It can be found throughout temperate Europe and northern Asia and, despite its name, it occurs in a range of habitats including dry woodland. The marsh tit is omnivorous; its food includes caterpillars, spiders and seeds. It nests in tree holes, choosing existing hollows to enlarge, rather than excavating its own. A clutch of 5–9 eggs is laid.
Marsh and willow tits are difficult to identify on appearance alone; the races occurring in the UK and are especially hard to separate. When caught for ringing, the pale 'cutting edge' of the marsh tit's bill is a reliable criterion; otherwise, the best way to tell apart the two species is by voice. Plumage characteristics include the lack of a pale wing panel (formed by pale edges to the secondary feathers in the willow tit), the marsh tit's glossier black cap and smaller black 'bib', although none of these is 'completely reliable'; for example, juvenile marsh tits can show a pale wing panel. The marsh tit has a noticeably smaller and shorter head than the willow tit and overall the markings are crisp and neat, with the head in proportion to the rest of the bird (willow tit gives the impression of being 'bull-necked').
A measure of the difficulty in identification is given by the fact that, in the UK, the willow tit was not identified as distinct from marsh tit until 1897. Two German ornithologists, Ernst Hartert and Otto Kleinschmidt, were studying marsh tit skins at the British Museum and found two wrongly-labelled willow tits amongst them (two willow tit specimens were then collected at Coalfall Wood in Finchley, north London, and that species was added to the British list in 1900).
he hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), or hyacinthine macaw, is a parrot native to central and eastern South America. With a length (from the top of its head to the tip of its long pointed tail) of about one meter it is longer than any other species of parrot. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species.[a] While generally easily recognized, it could be confused with the smaller Lear's macaw. Habitat loss and the trapping of wild birds for the pet trade have taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild, so the species is classified as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List,[1] and it is protected by its listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
This handsome bird, about the size of a European robin, is classified as a member of the flycatcher family. It is the male of the species. With less an of orange chest, the female is duller in appearance.
Found throughout Europe, Asia and North Africa, in the UK where they are summer visitors, they favour habitats with open oak and birch woodland, hedgerows and parkland.
Unfortunately, it is on the decline. During the droughts of the 1960s and 1970s it suffered in its African wintering grounds. Also changes in woodland management and a reduction in mature woodlands in its breeding habitats have reduced the population further.

A stave church is a medieval wooden Christian church building once common in north-western Europe. The name derives from the building's structure of post and lintel construction, a type of timber framing where the load-bearing ore-pine posts are called stafr in Old Norse (stav in modern Norwegian). Originally much more widespread, most of the surviving stave churches are in Norway. (Wikipedia)
Borgund Stave Church (Norwegian: Borgund stavkyrkje in this photo) is a stave church located in the village of Borgund in the municipality of Lærdal in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is classified as a triple nave stave church of the Sogn-type. It was built sometime between 1180 and 1250 AD with later additions and restorations. Its walls are formed by vertical wooden boards, or staves. The four corner posts are connected to one another by ground sills, resting on a stone foundation. The intervening staves rise from the ground sills; each is tongued and grooved, to interlock with its neighbours and form a sturdy wall. No longer regularly used for church functions, it is now a museum run by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments. Three replicas exist in the United States, one at Chapel in the Hills, Rapid City, South Dakota, another in Lyme, Connecticut, and the third on Washington Island, Wisconsin. (Wikipedia)
The Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) is the nearest large galaxy to our own Milky Way and one of the most magnificent objects in the night sky. Visible as a faint small smudge from a dark site on a moonless night, M31 is a gigantic aggregation of hundreds of billions of stars at a distance of about 2.5 million light years.
Once thought to be a nebula inside our own Galaxy, its true nature was discovered by Edwin Hubble in 1925, which measured the distance of this "island universe" by studying a special class of pulsating stars known as Cepheids (his estimated distance was more than half smaller than the present value but still large enough to put it well outside the extent of our own Milky Way Galaxy).
M31 is classified as a spiral galaxy with its galactic plane inclined about 13o to our line of sight, and it is therefore seen nearly edge-on. It has a number of smaller satellite galaxies, the most prominent of which are M32 (the bright, star-like concentration above and to the left of the nucleus) and M110, the more extended bright patch below and to the right of the nucleus). Astronomers have found evidence of a massive black hole at the center of this galaxy (as is the case for our own Milky Way).
They have also calculated that we are in a collision course with our grand neighbor in space - approaching each other at a speed of about 100 Km/sec, the two galaxies will collide in about 3 billion years and maybe merge into a giant elliptical galaxy.
I can’t really know if E.T.’s home was the Andromeda Galaxy, but I can tell you that this galaxy is exceptional, either through a telescope or in deep sky photographs.
I wish you all health, happiness and clear skies!

Dracaena draco, also known as the Dragon Tree, is a truly remarkable plant native to the Canary Islands and nearby regions. With its thick trunk, spiky leaves, and umbrella-like canopy, this tree is easily recognizable. One of its most fascinating features is the red resin it produces, famously referred to as "dragon's blood," which has been valued throughout history for its medicinal properties and use as a dye.
This highly drought-tolerant plant thrives in arid environments and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor settings. Its cultural significance in the Canary Islands cannot be overstated, as it symbolizes longevity and resilience. Some Dragon Trees, such as the renowned Dragon Tree of Icod de los Vinos, are believed to be centuries old.
The Dragon Tree is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, meaning it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild due to habitat loss, over-exploitation, and climate change.

I am only permitted to report that this photo is one of the secret training locations the village botty coughing team use in order to perform new techniques.👀
The venue is being used to practice and perfect one of the most dangerous stunts ever undertaken by a botty coughing display team, yes synchronised botty coughing, timing and delivery are crucial elements of the final outcome and safety of this manoeuvre.🙈⛑
Once this technique has been fully approved by the CAA, it will be used during displays when the ladies are eventually allowed to go out on tour performing to the public. At the time of going to press, Polly Polkinghorne and Bertha Ruthblows were unavailable to comment on how the days testing had gone, brrrrrrp💨💨💨💨
It is very clear by the above footage that during rehearsals the two meter rule was fully complied with, the team are very neat in their performing arts, I repeat arts.👩🎤👨🎨🎨🎭
Oh I must tell you this before I go, Horace was pulled over for speeding on his skateboard travelling to this location, the officer looked at Horace and asked “have you got a police record” Horace responded, Iv’e got ‘Walking on the moon’🚓🐷🌝

Hérons et hiboux gémissent,
Mêlant leur triste chanson ;
On voit de chaque buisson
Surgir d'étranges racines ;
Maigres bras, longues échines ;
Ventres roulants et rampants ;
Parmi les rocs, les ruines,
Fourmillent vers et serpents.
[Gérard de NERVAL] - Sur le pays des chimères
