White-necked Heron (This one was quite elusive. It took me 5 days to get close enough to shoot it.)
Scientific Name: Ardea pacifica
Description: The White-necked Heron is a large heron with a white head and a long white neck with a double line of black spots running down the front. The upperparts of the body are slate-black, with plum-coloured nuptial plumes on the back and breast during the breeding season. Underparts are grey streaked with white. The bill is black, the naked facial skin is is blue or yellow, the eyes are green, and the legs and feet are black. The White-necked Heron is sometimes known as the Pacific Heron.
Similar species: The Pied Heron, A. picata, is a similar slate-black heron with contrasting white throat and neck, but it is a much smaller (43 cm - 52 cm) bird, with a crested dark cap that extends below the eyes, yellow legs, and a bill that is mostly yellow.
Distribution: The White-necked Heron is distributed throughout mainland Australia, inhabiting mainly fresh water wetlands.
Habitat: Although White-necked Herons are sometimes seen in tidal areas, most are found in shallow fresh waters, including farm dams, flooded pastures, claypans, and even roadside ditches.
Seasonal movements: White-necked Herons have regular winter or spring movements in many areas, but little is known of their patterns of movement.
Feeding: White-necked Herons feed by wading in shallow water or stalking through wet grass looking for fish, amphibians, crustaceans and insects. Like other herons, the White-necked Heron has a special hinge mechanism at the sixth vertebra that allows them to rapidly extend their folded neck and so catch unwary prey.
Breeding: White-necked Herons will breed in any month of the year in response to good rain, but most breeding occurs between September and December. The nest is a loose platform in a living tree such as a river red gum near or over water. The nests may be solitary or in loose colonies. Eggs are incubated by both parents.
Calls: A loud croak is uttered as an alarm call. Other gutteral calls are uttered at the nest.
Minimum Size: 76cm
Maximum Size: 106cm
Average size: 91cm
Average weight: 900g
Breeding season: Mainly September to December.
Clutch Size: Up to six, usually three or four.
Incubation: 30 days
Nestling Period: 45 days

Comment of the sculpteur:
I created this sculpture to honour the courage of these men: sons, husbands and fathers, who endangered and often sacrificed their lives in the hope of freeing the French people.
Les Braves consists of three elements:
The wings of Hope
So that the spirit which carried these men on June 6th, 1944 continues to inspire us, reminding us that together it is always possible to changing the future.
Rise, Freedom!
So that the example of those who rose against barbarity, helps us remain standing strong against all forms of inhumanity.
The Wings of Fraternity
So that this surge of brotherhood always reminds us of our responsibility towards others as well as ourselves.
On June 6th, 1944 these man were more than soldiers, they were our brothers

April was a very packed month socially! The weekend after Newcastle, Gemma was back in Hull again.
Saturday night we packed a lot in, and tried some new places.
We went to Ambiente tapas restaurant for Spanish food and it was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely doing that again, it was a really nice place and the food was great!
After that we went to Humber Street Social which was a venue we had not tried before. And then we went on to a charity night at The Oak Vaults and had a great time in there - even won two raffle prizes each! :-D
Please leave a comment if you fave, it is lovely to hear what you think of my pictures! xx
Only a couple of pictures from the Saturday night. We stayed in the Cosmopolitan all evening.
It seems Saturday night after LFF is becoming quite poular since Gemma and I started it about a year ago. Lots more staying for the weekend now, although it is a much more sedate night than LFF!
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
A couple of non-glam ones, more everyday. One ready to go to clean ovens, the other cosy at home in my warm jumper. :-)

There are magazines and news sources for the general public, and the same has always been true for the people who operate buses. The Museum of Transport Greater Manchester has an extensive archive collection and documents that is used as the source for this Flickr feed, and we have a very large collection of trade magazines and bulletins dating back to the nineteenth century.
These magazines have always been read by owners and managers of truck and bus companies, and therefore they have always included advertisements for complete vehicles, spare parts such as tyres, ancillary equipment such as washing equipment, and parts that one might specify as part of a vehicle order.
This advert dates from the early 1950s and advertises a hard-wearing material for seating. We will note without further comment that the material's brand name is better known today for a very different impermeable product!

See comments for a second shot and puppy pics. couldn't decide which to use.
Nothing says amuuuurica more than a bearded man sitting on his lawn playing with puppies in american flag shorts. It's what this country was founded on.
Met this fine fellow couple days ago at the mushroom festival (see day 253). Asked if he didn't mind getting photographed, and the next day I was at his house for these shots, along with a couple for another project I am working on. He immediately offered me a beer, and brought out 20 little jack russell terriers. (see comments and picture uploaded after this one)
Great guy. great shoot.
