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.

La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
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.

Calyptorhynchus latirostris
Cacatuidae
The Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo is classified as Endangered. This may surprise some people, as the species occurs over quite a wide area of south-western Western Australia, where they are often rather conspicuous, sometimes congregating into large flocks. They are even considered pests by some farmers when they descend onto crops of almonds and similar foods. However, their population has declined greatly in recent decades, due mostly to the loss and fragmentation of their preferred habitats, and they need the support of conservation programs to ensure their survival.
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

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

"Portrait of a Reddish Egret."
Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

The Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) is a small, elegant white heron with a wide global distribution, known for its distinctive black legs, bright yellow feet, and long plumes during the breeding season. It was once a rare visitor to the UK but is now a common sight in many coastal and wetland areas.
Key Facts and Identification
Appearance:
The adult bird has entirely white plumage, a slender black bill, and long black legs contrasted by striking yellow feet. During the breeding season, it develops dramatic, long, white plumes on its crest, back, and chest.
Size:
It is a relatively small heron, typically measuring 55-65 cm in length with a wingspan of 88-95 cm.
Habitat:
It primarily inhabits various wetland environments, including the shallow margins of lakes, rivers, marshes, estuaries, and coastal mudflats, preferring open areas for hunting.
Diet and Hunting:
Little egrets are opportunistic carnivores, primarily feeding on small fish, crustaceans, amphibians, and insects. They employ diverse hunting techniques, such as patiently standing still to ambush prey or actively stirring the water with their bright yellow feet to flush out hidden food.
Behavior:
They are social birds, often forming flocks and breeding in colonies, sometimes alongside other waterbird species.
Distribution and Conservation
The little egret has a vast range spanning Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, and has recently begun colonizing the New World.
In the UK, it was historically present until the 16th century but then became locally extinct due to over-hunting for its fashionable plumes for the hat trade. After legal protections were introduced in the 20th century, populations recovered and expanded their range northwards, with the first modern UK breeding record occurring in Dorset in 1996. Its population continues to increase, possibly aided by climate change, and it is now a common resident and winter visitor in southern England and Wales.
Globally, the little egret is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as a species of "least concern".
Distributed from India to China and Southeast Asia. National bird of Bengal. Formerly classified as a thrush, now assigned to the Old World flycatcher family.

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!

Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare. After parboiling—which weakens its toxicity and breaks down the mushroom's psychoactive substances—it is eaten in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. Amanita muscaria is noted for its hallucinogenic properties, with its main psychoactive constituents being the compounds ibotenic acid and muscimol. The mushroom was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the peoples of Siberia, and has a religious significance in these cultures. There has been much speculation on possible traditional use of this mushroom as an intoxicant in other places such as the Middle East, Eurasia, North America, and Scandinavia.
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).
The Alexander the third bridge across the River Seine and joins the Champs-Élysées quarter with Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. Named after Tsar Alexander III of Russia, the bridge was opened in 1900 in time for the Exposition Universelle in Paris. It was classified as a French historic monument in 1975.
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.👩🎤👨🎨🎨🎭

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a plant from the flax family (Linaceae).
It is a crop that has been cultivated for a long time. There are blue-flowering and white-flowering varieties. There are also varieties with brown seeds and varieties with yellow seeds. The seeds of flax (linseed) are approximately 5 mm long. The varieties can be classified according to use as follows:
Fiber flax: for linen, cultivated for more than six thousand years
Oil flax: for linseed oil
Oil flax plants are shorter and more branched than those of fiber flax and are grown for the seeds from which oil is extracted (Wikipedia)
Vlas (Linum usitatissimum) is een plant uit de vlasfamilie (Linaceae). Het is een gewas dat al lang verbouwd wordt. Er zijn blauwbloeiende en witbloeiende rassen. Daarnaast zijn er rassen met bruine zaden en rassen met gele zaden. De zaden van het vlas (lijnzaad) zijn ongeveer 5 mm lang. De rassen kunnen naar gebruik als volgt worden ingedeeld:
Vezelvlas: voor linnen, al meer dan zesduizend jaar geteeld
Olievlas: voor lijnzaadolie
Planten van olievlas zijn korter en meer vertakt dan die van vezelvlas en worden verbouwd voor de zaden waar olie uit gewonnen wordt (Wikipedia)

Robin - Erithacus rubecula
Our ever reliable Little Robin...
The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), known simply as the robin or robin redbreast in the British Isles, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classified as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae) but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher.
The robin occurs in Eurasia east to Western Siberia, south to Algeria and on the Atlantic islands as far west as the Azores and Madeira. It is a vagrant in Iceland. In the south-east, it reaches the Caucasus range. Irish and British robins are largely resident but a small minority, usually female, migrate to southern Europe during winter, a few as far as Spain. Scandinavian and Russian robins migrate to Britain and western Europe to escape the harsher winters. These migrants can be recognised by the greyer tone of the upper parts of their bodies and duller orange breast. The European robin prefers spruce woods in northern Europe, contrasting with its preference for parks and gardens in Ireland and Britain.
Attempts to introduce the European robin into Australia and New Zealand in the latter part of the 19th century were unsuccessful. Birds were released around Melbourne, Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Dunedin by various local acclimatisation societies, with none becoming established. There was a similar outcome in North America as birds failed to establish after being released in Long Island, New York in 1852, Oregon in 1889–1892, and the Saanich Peninsula in British Columbia in 1908–1910.
The robin is diurnal, although has been reported to be active hunting insects on moonlit nights or near artificial light at night. Well known to British and Irish gardeners, it is relatively unafraid of people and drawn to human activities involving the digging of soil, in order to look out for earthworms and other food freshly turned up. Indeed, the robin is considered to be a gardener's friend and for various folklore reasons the robin would never be harmed. In continental Europe on the other hand, robins were hunted and killed as with most other small birds, and are more wary.
Robins also approach large wild animals, such as wild boar and other animals which disturb the ground, to look for any food that might be brought to the surface. In autumn and winter, robins will supplement their usual diet of terrestrial invertebrates, such as spiders, worms and insects, with berries and fruit. They will also eat seed mixtures placed on bird-tables.
The robin features prominently in British folklore, and that of northwestern France, but much less so in other parts of Europe. It was held to be a storm-cloud bird and sacred to Thor, the god of thunder, in Norse mythology. Robins feature in the traditional children's tale, Babes in the Wood; the birds cover the dead bodies of the children.
More recently, the robin has become strongly associated with Christmas, taking a starring role on many Christmas cards since the mid 19th century. The robin has appeared on many Christmas postage stamps. An old British folk tale seeks to explain the robin's distinctive breast. Legend has it that when Jesus was dying on the cross, the robin, then simply brown in colour, flew to his side and sang into his ear in order to comfort him in his pain. The blood from his wounds stained the robin's breast, and thereafter all robins got the mark of Christ's blood upon them.
An alternative legend has it that its breast was scorched fetching water for souls in Purgatory.
The association with Christmas more probably arises from the fact that postmen in Victorian Britain wore red jackets and were nicknamed "Robins"; the robin featured on the Christmas card is an emblem of the postman delivering the card.
In the 1960s, in a vote publicised by The Times, the robin was adopted as the unofficial national bird of the UK.
In 2015, the robin was again voted Britain's national bird in a poll organised by birdwatcher David Lindo, taking 34% of the final vote.

The booted eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus, also classified as Aquila pennata) is a medium-sized mostly migratory bird of prey with a wide distribution in the Palearctic and southern Asia, wintering in the tropics of Africa and Asia, with a small, disjunct breeding population in south-western Africa. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.
Booted Eagles prefer forest with open areas like clearances. Can also be found in open areas like desserts or grassland or even on sea cliffs.
In France, Booted Eagles have been observed hunting close to villages and even in cities
In Europe, most Booted Eagles are migratory. Only few spent the winter in southern Europe, for example in southern France or Spain.
Most Booted Eagles leave Europe in the 2nd half of September and early October. They return between the end of February and the beginning of April. The young leave the breeding area before their parents.
The Booted Eagle has a broad diet. From insects up to medium sized birds and mammals, everything is taken. Birds are normally the most important food source. In Spain, large lizards, young rabbits and Red-legged Partridge.
Birds are often taken on the ground. Prey species include larks, pipits, pigeons, starling or thrushes. The Booted Eagle is capable of spectacular stoops.
Important habitat must be protected. Disturbance during the breeding season (recreational activities and forestry work), should be avoided. Illegal hunting must be stopped.
