This piece, made of brass and glass (the red piece in the middle is made to look like a gemstone, but is glass), dates to the 1830s-1840s, and was worn to accentuate to hairstyles of the time - when women always, well almost always at least, kept their hair long and as an adult had it pinned up in intricate fashions. The label in the museum didn't clarify, but I think it is a Swedish piece.

Aka Lotusbird.
With its long legs and oversized feet, at first glance the Comb-crested Jacana appears particularly ungainly. However, anyone who has watched one nimbly picking its way across precarious platforms of floating aquatic vegetation would disagree. Similarly, those strangely elongated appendages would seem to render any attempts at long-distance movements problematical. Again, this is incorrect. They have been occasionally recorded as making very long distance journeys.

or Knob-billed duck ( Sarkidiomis sylvicola ).
I saw this rather unusual duck at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre , Gloucestershire , England. Its normal habitat is in the tropical wetlands of South America . The fleshy appendage (knob) is only on the male bird & can become larger during the mating season !!!!!

The shelling was good over the weekend. I came home with a another bagful myself. Have a great 4th everybody.
Late in the day, from a campsite in Comb Wash, the light was leaving the cottonwoods but highlighted Comb Ridge.

This was one of my target species for eastern Australia. A delightful little wader with enormous long toes and feet to enable it to stand on floating vegetation, hence their nickname, Lily-trotter. Females are the dominant sex in this family and are much larger than the males. The females maintain a territory with 3-4 males and they lay eggs in each male territory for them to bring up. Judging by the size of this bird, it is a male.
Plastic comb-shaped anti-bird device placed on a height restriction bar to an underground carpark. These soft plastic comb-like spikes are much friendlier than the usual more lethal-looking metal ones that are angled in 2 directions in a V arrangement.
The top of Combs Moss on a sunny evening. Been a while since I have been out. The dull and windy weather never ends.
Ever since I was small I loved feeling
somebody comb my hair. It made me
go all sleepy and peaceful.
