Combs

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.

On display at Nordiska museet (the Nordic museum), Stockholm.

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 !!!!!

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.

Today Vaska was complacent and allowed to comb his lion's mane.

Thant you very much for visits, faves and comments!

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.
