Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers

Buff-banded Rail

Scientific Name: Gallirallus philippensis

Description: The Buff-banded Rail is a medium-sized stout rail with short legs. It has a distinctive grey eyebrow and an orange-brown band on its streaked breast. The lores, cheek and hindneck are rich chestnut. The chin and throat are grey, the upperparts streaked brown and the underparts barred black and white. The eye is red. Young birds are much paler to white underneath, with indistinct bars and only a faint orange-brown tint on the breast. Downy chicks are fluffy black. This rail walks slowly, with tail raised and flicking constantly.

Similar species: The orange-brown breast band distinguishes the Buff-banded Rail from the similar but smaller Lewin's Rail,Dryolimnas pectoralis, which has a rich chestnut crown and nape and a proportionally longer pink bill.

Distribution: The Buff-banded Rail is widespread in mainland Australia, particularly along the eastern coast and islands, and on Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. It is also found in south-east Asia, New Guinea and New Zealand.

Habitat: The Buff-banded Rail is seen singly or in pairs in dense reeds and vegetation bordering many types of wetlands or crops. It makes widespread use of artificial wetlands like sewage ponds and drainage channels.

Seasonal movements: The Buff-banded Rail is resident and possibly locally nomadic, though little is known of these movements.

Feeding: The Buff-banded Rail feeds on crustaceans, molluscs, insects, seeds, fruit, frogs, carrion and refuse. It mostly feeds early in the morning and the evening.

Breeding: Breeding is poorly known, but the Buff-breasted Rail nests in long grass, tussocks, rushes or crops. It makes an unlined cup-shaped nest of grasses or reeds. Both parents incubate and the young will leave the nest within 24 hours. Both parents remain with the young, which usually feed themselves, though the female may feed them as well. Two broods may be raised in some seasons.

Calls: Loud creaky squeak when breeding but usually silent.

Minimum Size: 28cm

Maximum Size: 33cm

Average size: 31cm

Average weight: 130g

Breeding season: September to February

Clutch Size: 5 to 8 eggs

Incubation: 19 days

Nestling Period: 1 days

Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos platyrhynchos) - 20250814-02 by Sue Milks

211 87

Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.

A large duck, generally common and familiar within its extensive range. Males are distinctive with iridescent green head, yellow bill, chestnut breast, and gray body. Females are mottled brown with orange and black splotches on the bill. Found anywhere with water, including city parks, backyard creeks, and various wetland habitats. Often in flocks, and frequently mixes with other duck species. In North America, females can be tricky to distinguish from American Black Duck, Mottled Duck, and Mexican Duck where ranges overlap. Those species are all darker-bodied than Mallard. A good view of the wing can be helpful, too: white wingbars on the leading and trailing edges of the blue wing patch are bolder on Mallard. Frequently hybridizes with those species, which can be even more confusing. Any bird with extensive white in the tail or curled feathers above the tail has some Mallard genes. (eBird)

---------------

Nearly two weeks ago, I tripped and fractured my elbow. After a week in a sling, the surgeon let me ditch the sling and start using my arm cautiously. The arm is painful and stiff and I cannot do anything for very long.

These little mallards, still growing their wing feathers, reminded me of me today. Ready to go but held back by less than useful wings/arms.

Lac de la Bailletta, en mode reflet du ciel. by ViveLaMontagne67

190 36

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.

Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.

France. Alpes. Savoie. Haute Tarentaise. Massif des Alpes Grées. Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour au Lac de la Bailletta, au départ du parking du Saut. Nous avons effectué cette rando en famille, merveilleusement guidés par notre ami de Haute Tarentaise.

Cette photo a été prise en remontant au Col de la Bailletta.

Sur la photo précédente, le lac était d'un vert intense car on était face à la pente herbeuse. Comme annoncé, sur cette photo, il est d'un bleu intense (en son centre), mâtiné de blanc, car cette fois on était sur la pente et en hauteur donc il reflétait le ciel.

Indépendamment du lac, les environs du Col de la Bailletta offrent un très beau panorama vers le sud avec entre autres :

o Le Signal de l'Iseran (3237m) à gauche, particulièrement à son avantage sous ce profil,

o La Pointe de Charbonnel (3752m) au fond au centre, qui est tout simplement le point culminant des Alpes Grées,

o Le Vallon de l'Iseran et la route (D902) qui monte au Col de l'Iseran (plus haut col routier des Alpes), le long de la Crête des Lessières.

Sur la gauche et au centre de la photo, les sommets appartiennent au Massif des Alpes Grées.

Sur la droite de la photo, les sommets appartiennent au Massif de la Vanoise.

Comment or Fave top Photo First - Victorian mansion was built for Carl G. A. Voigt in 1895 - Grand Rapids - Michigan - Painting. by Bill Badzo

118 74

This elegant and perfectly preserved Victorian mansion was built for Carl G. A. Voigt in 1895. Voigt came to Grand Rapids in 1870 and ran a mill and dry goods store with W. G. Herpolsheimer. In 1902, when the partnership ended, Voigt took over the milling works. The house designed by eminent local architect William G. Robinson, was inspired by the chateaux at Chenonceaux, France. The interior is furnished opulently with original possessions of the Voigt Family. In 1972, a year after the death of the last occupant, Ralph Voigt, the house became a public museum. 109

About the only things in my garden which haven't threatened to die in the heat and drought this summer. These Crocosmia have been blooming every year I've lived here, that's more than 40 years. I popped out in the garden the other evening to get a shot, they were so bright !

I hope you like them too my friends.

Thanks so much to all who leave me a comment, a fave or just for looking - I hope you're not too hot !

Niedermorschwihr, lové au milieu des vignes. by ViveLaMontagne67

Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.

Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.

France. Vosges. Alsace. Haut-Rhin. Photo prise lors d'une rando en boucle, effectuée seul, au départ de Katzenthal, en passant par le Neuberg, le Sommerberg, le Galtz et la croix de Meywihr. Comme le lendemain vers l'Ungersberg, j'ai pu y voir une ribambelle de parcelles de vignes teintées de magnifiques couleurs (jaune, vert et rouge).

Merci à tous les viticulteurs alsaciens de régaler nos yeux à chaque automne par leur travail acharné de toute l'année !!! 🙏😉

En 2019, je n'aurai pas réussi à faire de rando dans les vignes alsaciennes pendant le magnifique mois d'octobre. Mais à la place j'ai découvert avec bonheur les environs du Hohneck à cette même période et je n'ai aucun regret d'avoir fait ce choix. Et puis qu'à cela ne tienne, c'est l'occasion d'aller rechercher les photos prises au cours de cette rando le 13 octobre 2017, dans les vignes autour de Niedermorschwihr, Katzenthal et Ammerschwihr.

Cette photo a été prise depuis les vignes du Sommerberg. On y voit le village de Niedermorschwihr en contrebas, qui est à mon sens l'un des villages les plus photogéniques du vignoble alsacien.

Au fond à droite, on voit les sommets situés au sud du début de la Vallée de Munster avec :

- À gauche, le sommet sans nom (645m) sur lequel est perché le Château du Hohlandsbourg. Il est singulier car de loin, on n'aperçoit ni tour ni donjon mais juste son vaste mur d'enceinte carré ...

- À droite, le joli sommet du Stauffen (898m), qui est le point culminant du secteur et que l'on aperçoit très souvent depuis la Vallée de Munster quand on regarde en direction de la plaine d'Alsace.

yet another sacred kingfisher by Chris Burns

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

Sacred Kingfisher

Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus

Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.

Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.

Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.

Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.

Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.

Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.

Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.

Minimum Size: 19cm

Maximum Size: 24cm

Average size: 21cm

Average weight: 45g

Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.

Clutch Size: 3 to 6

Incubation: 18 days

Nestling Period: 26 days
