A female Anna's Hummingbird is on high alert to defend her Lantana flowers! She started chattering, flared her tail, and flew up to chase off an incoming Hummingbird. She was successful this time!!

Le Cardinal doit son nom à la couleur rouge du plumage du mâle qui rappelle les vêtements rouges des cardinaux. Il fréquente les bois, les jardins et les marais.
Le Cardinal rouge est un oiseau chanteur de taille moyenne avec une huppe caractéristique sur la tête et un masque facial noir chez le mâle et gris chez la femelle. Le mâle est rouge vif tandis que la femelle est d’un brun rougeâtre terne.
Le Cardinal rouge est principalement granivore mais se nourrit également d’insectes et de fruits.
Le mâle est territorial et défend son territoire par le chant.
Pendant la parade nuptiale, le mâle nourrit la femelle bec à bec.
La femelle pond de deux à quatre fois par année et trois à quatre œufs sont pondus par couvée.

I was dressed in my newly delivered R2 fashion cyber suit.With a SAC MP18 in my right hand and a SAC knife in my left,
I jump off my hoverbike,
spinning my body, releasing the bullets and protecting my landing base.
This is only an image of the work. It does not change my concern for the world peace situation. Please do not misunderstand me.

This is the far south-east of Cornwall, near Tregantle Fort which was built in the mid-19th century above the cliffs in Whitsand Bay to help defend Plymouth from attack by sea. Here the countryside is gently rolling rich farmland, with numerous small woods lining the valleys through which flow streams and other small tributaries of the River Lynher. In the far distance the hills are on the outskirts of Bodmin Moor.

This female Rufous Hummingbird worked so hard defending the feeder and grevillea plants in the yard all morning. In the afternoon, the male took over dominance of the yard. They make me tired watching how hard they work.
Auf Youtube gibt es ein Video wie das Foto entstanden ist. Im Videobereich bin ich erst am Anfang aber ich versuche mich auch da zu verbessern. Würde mich freuen wenn ihr vorbeischaut und auch gerne das Video kommentieren würdet.

Splendid Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus splendens
Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.
Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.
Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.
Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.
Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.
Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.
Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.
Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.
Minimum Size: 12cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 13cm
Average weight: 9g
Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April
Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3
Incubation: 15 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

I saw so many seals while kayaking out in the Dungeness Bay yesterday. At one point, I counted 11 watching me from all around.

Hope you Enjoy!
I couldn't figure out whether this guy was there to defend the fort, or if he was just a really scaly tourist. Either way this gguy was oblivious to all of the attention he was receiving. He was basking in the window of the gift shop at Castillo de San Crystobal in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Thanks a lot for your visit, faves and comments. Its truly appreciated!
So much fun and really challenging when they start to roll and maneuver to evade the pursuit. Keeping the camera on the action as they move about the river is very exhilarating too.

Interesting thing about Finland's participation in WWII is it was the only democratic country to be on the side of the Axis powers. As part of Finland's participation in WWII (Continuation war), the Finns during operations Barbarossa retook and captured areas in the Karelia region.
Wanted to try out a bunker as there were many that were along several defensive lines in Finland and the Karelia region. Credit for the trees goes to Thorsten Bonsch.
This chapel was built in or around 1240, but it was decorated completely different. You wouldn't guess it, because it looks rather tasteful, but all the interior decoration except the flags and the windows was made in the 19th century. In 1866 they had a cholera epidemic and the bishop of Amiens thought it would be a good idea to follow the cult of Sacré-Cœur (Sacred Heart). Usually Sacred Heart means that there is a Jesus somewhere who points at his bleeding heart entwined by thorns. Luckily not here. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc painted the decoration of the chapel. Théodore Maillot and Auguste Steinheil painted the saints. Placide Poussielgue-Rusand made the altar and Aimé and Louis Duthoit made the statues. All in the 19th century. The windows were made in 1932-1933 by Jean Gaudin in the 20th century. And the flags are those of the allies that defended Amiens in 1918.

Ich möchte klar stellen das es mir nicht um den Einsatzzweck dieser Maschinen geht, sondern um die Faszination der Technik und des Erlebens der dargestellten Flugfähigkeiten.

I would like to make it clear that I am not concerned with the purpose of these machines, but with the fascination of the technology and the experience of the flight capabilities shown.
