Ganga ibérica
(Pterocles alchata)
Las gangas son aves propias de desiertos y estepas de África y Asia, que están representadas en la Península Ibérica, de modo marginal, por dos
especies, las cuales aprovechan medios agrícolas de secano tradicionales. La profunda modificación del campo español es responsable del serio declive que padece la población de la ganga ibérica, hoy reducida a solo 8.000- 11.000 individuos.
Descripción y Clasificación
Orden Pteroclidiformes; familia Pteroclidae
Longitud 31-39 cm. Envergadura 55 cm.
Identificación
Ave de hábitos terrestres, compacta, corpulenta y de colores miméticos. El macho exhibe una contrastada cabeza, con cara anaranjada, ojo oscuro rodeado de un anillo azul, y lista ocular y garganta negras. Tiene el cuello y la nuca de color naranja verdoso, y el pecho rojo castaño, enmarcado por dos bandas negras, de las cuales la inferior delimita el vientre, llamativamente blanco. El dorso presenta ocelos dorados que se pierden en invierno, y en las alas plegadas aparecen espejuelos de color verde metálico y con ribetes oscuros. Posee cola muy apuntada, vermiculada por arriba —lo mismo que el obispillo— y blanca con banda subterminal negra por abajo. El pico y las patas —de dedos cortos— son grises, y la parte anterior del tarso está emplumada en blanco. Se diferencia de la ganga ortega por su menor tamaño, su vientre blanco y su cola con plumas centrales muy largas. La hembra es muy parecida, pero menos vistosa. Sus partes inferiores resultan similares a las del macho, pero tiene la garganta blanca y tres bandas negras en el cuello y el pecho. Por su parte, las zonas superiores están más vermiculadas, y los ocelos del dorso muestran además áreas azules. Los jóvenes son una versión más pálida y menos contrastada de los adultos de cada sexo. Esta ave exhibe un vuelo poderoso y rápido, que deja ver sus alas apuntadas, blancas y negras por abajo. De hábitos gregarios, más marcados fuera de la época de cría, suele observarse en grupos, por lo general mayores que en la ganga ortega.
Canto
Su voz, muy distintiva, consiste en un áspero graznido (kataa…, kata… y gaaa…, gaaa…), que puede recordar al reclamo de la grajil

Nave foundation stone (of Kapunda marble) 19 Dec 1883 by Mrs W Crooks, opened 6 Apr 1884 as Wesleyan, architects Bayer & Withall, random coursed stone with rendered quoins, Methodist after Union 1900, transepts & vestries foundation stone 27 Jun 1903 by T J Mitchell, re-opened 6 Dec 1903, Uniting 1977. First services had been in the York Rechabite Hall. When Capt Simpson donated site on Woodville Rd, a wood & iron church opened 9 Dec 1877. It was built from materials salvaged from the “Iron King”, a ship wrecked 1873 on Troubridge Shoal near Edithburgh.
“The want of a Wesleyan Church has been long felt in Woodville, and to remedy this want a Committee in connection with the Port Adelaide Circuit was formed some time back and the result of their labors has been the erection of the present Church. The structure . . . has a very substantial and compact appearance. It is built on Jarrah piles . . . with a corrugated iron roof, the spaces between the lining-boards being filled with seaweed.” [Advertiser 12 Dec 1877]
“Three months ago, for the sake of coolness, the local Institute was rented for the summer months, and the trustees, recognising the demand, determined to at once proceed with the erection of a Church more suited to the requirements and importance of the place. Messrs. Bayer & Withall, architects, prepared plans of an edifice, to be built of Dry Creek stone from the Government quarries, in the Gothic style.” [Register 20 Dec 1883]
“having become too small for the congregation, the trustees decided to enlarge it by the erection of a transept. . . The architect is Mr. F. W. Dancker.” [Advertiser 29 Jun 1903]
“During 1920 the Ladies' Patriotic Circle collected funds and installed two beautiful memorial windows. . . A brass memorial in the church contains the names of 41 men who enlisted during the Great War, seven of whom made the supreme sacrifice.” [Register 16 Aug 1924]

Won't need the baby sling for a couple more months, but it was on sale so I grabbed it. Carries the baby in front or behind you, facing in or out, plus a sling-bed for smaller infants.
no flash was fired.. howevr...a torch was lighted behind this huge tower or cds...
experimenting some macros with slr..
First attempt at water drops on a CD/DVD. Used my extension tubes for some and just dedicated macro for others. The colors you get from a CD and DVD are totally different so try both. Lots of fun on a rainy day. This particular shot reminds me of Jellyfish with bioluminescence.
Got my inspiration from Danny Cowee

Inspired by carlitoscontraptions.com/2007/03/compact-keychain/ I made this for my keys. I still want to do something more useful like www.instructables.com/id/Friendly_Folding_Keychain/ but I haven't found the right multitool to take apart yet.
