The Brimstone butterfly is pretty generally distributed in southern Britain, becoming rarer to the north. Its distribution pretty much matches that of its larval foodplants; Buckthorn and Alder Buckthorn. It emerges in July then overwinters as an adult butterfly, apparently among ivy leaves, which it certainly resembles, though I have never found one hibernating. It then emerges on the first warm days of spring, and is usually the first butterfly to emerge. Its scientific name is Gonepteryx rhamni. Gonepteryx means angled wing, and Rhamnus is the scientific name for its larval foodplant Buckthorn.
Brimstone has been used as the name for this butterfly since it started appearing in books in the 17th century. The name is also an old-fashioned name for Sulphur (or Sulfur). Both the element Sulphur and the male butterfly are a similar yellow colour. Sulphur is associated with the acrid odour of volcanic activity (the word Brimstone comes from burnt stone) and is frequently used in the Bible to evoke either hell or God's wrath for the unfaithful.
Brimstones and Buckthorns are uncommon where I live in the Pennines of West Yorkshire. I usually see two or three a year but rarely get an opportunity to photograph them. I photographed this female nectaring on Knapweed during my recent visit to Lincolnshire for Brown Hairstreaks.
Cypripedium calceolus (Orchidaceae) 157 24
Cypripedium calceolus (the lady's slipper orchid) is one of the best known and most widely illustrated of all flowering plants.
It is widely distributed, ranging from Spain, the British Isles and Scandinavia in western Europe across to north-eastern China, eastern Siberia and Sakhalin Island. It may also occur on Honshu in Japan. In Europe it is found from sea level in the north up to over 2000 m above sea level in the Alps. It favors limestone and is found in deciduous, mixed deciduous and coniferous woods, growing in light to deep shade.
The lady's slipper orchid is a long-lived herbaceous perennial which produces new growths from a rhizome (swollen underground stem) each season. It grows up to 60 cm tall, and the stems have a covering of glandular hairs. Each stem has three to four leaves, which are strongly pleated and often have up-curved sides. The inflorescence (flower stalk) is one- to two-flowered with leaf-like bracts. The flowers are showy. The sepals and petals are maroon (rarely green) and often spirally twisted. Cypripedium calceolus is quite variable in the wild. Plants may bear up to three flowers on a spike. Flowers can have green or yellow, rather than maroon, sepals and petals and a white, rather than a yellow, lip.
White tailed Sea Eagle - Haliaeetus
Albicilla
Featured on Winterwatch 19/01/2022
Mull
While found across a very wide range, today breeding as far west as Greenland and Iceland across to as far east in Hokkaido, Japan, they are often scarce and very spottily distributed as a nesting species, mainly due to human activities. These have included habitat alterations and destruction of wetlands, about a hundred years of systematic persecution by humans (from the early 1800s to around World War II) followed by inadvertent poisonings and epidemics of nesting failures due to various manmade chemical pesticides and organic compounds, which have threatened eagles since roughly the 1950s and continue to be a potential concern. Due to this, the white-tailed eagle was considered endangered or extinct in several countries. However, some populations have recovered well due to some governmental protections and dedicated conservationists and naturalists protecting habitats and nesting sites and partially regulating poaching and pesticide usage, as well as careful reintroductions into parts of their former range. White-tailed eagles usually live most of the year near large bodies of open water, including both coastal saltwater areas and inland freshwater, and require an abundant food supply and old-growth trees or ample sea cliffs for nesting. They are considered a close cousin of the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), which occupies a similar niche in North America.
White-tailed eagles are of all ages typically perch in quite upright positions on exposed branch, rock or other vantage point, but tend to sit more horizontally on the ground or other level surfaces. They have an ample bill with a relatively high culmen, helping impart a relatively narrow and high crowned facial look, especially compared to Aquila eagles.
This eagle breeds in northern Europe and northern Asia. Their European range extends to as far west as southeastern Greenland, northern and eastern Iceland, and the reintroduced populations in some areas of Ireland and Scotland, particularly conserved coastal spots. In mainland Europe, often isolated outposts remain in coastal and western Norway (broadly), northern and southwestern Finland, eastern Sweden, southern Denmark (and some spots in the north),
islands of the Baltic Sea, western Austria, northeastern Germany, northern and eastern Poland, the Czech Republic, much of the east Baltic countries, the non-montane areas of the Ukraine, eastern Slovenia, central and southern Hungary (and adjacent northeastern Croatia),
White-tailed eagles may be found in varied habitat but usually are closely associated with water and generally occurs in lowland areas. Although mainly a lowland species, the species is known to live at elevations of 1,500 to 2,300 m (4,900 to 7,500 ft) so long as there is water access in some parts of Central Asia and Siberia. In coastal areas, the species may range from high sea cliffs down to low-lying islands and archipelagos. Especially in winter, many white-tailed eagles often frequent low coastal spots, estuaries and coastal marshes. Several studies have supported that coastal areas are preferred when available during winter. In many areas, white-tailed eagles can seem to switch freely between usually cliff habitat and wooded spots for nesting sites and the center of their home range habitat.
White-tailed eagles spend much of their day perched on trees or crags, and may often not move for hours. Perhaps up to 90% of a day may spend perched, especially if weather is poor. Also, they will alternate periods of soaring with perching, especially flying over water or well-watered areas, but do considerably less soaring on average than do golden eagles. Pairs regularly roost together, often near to their nest, either on a crag or tree or crevices, overhung ledges or small isolated trees on a crag.
Many studies have reflected that the primary foods of white-tailed eagles are fish and water birds.
In Britain, the opinion towards white-tailed eagles became negative in sync with the creation of farmland and commercial fishing, as it was quickly perceived that they were competitors for resources and could deplete the livelihood of flocks for shepherds (despite this being largely untrue) and game animals for gamekeepers. Therefore, laws were passed to facilitate their destruction. Already by the end of the 18th century, down from breeding in all appropriate habitat, the English population was down to only localized breeding, namely in the Isle of Wight, Lundy, Isle of Man and (probably) near Plymouth; within a couple decades the species only remained in the Lake District. Before the advent of firearms, few people in England and Scotland were highly motivated to kill eagles since this could be time-consuming and hazardous process, therefore the British government rose the bounty on eagles to a very high 5 shillings a head by the turn of the 18th century. Unfortunately, eyries in many coastal sites were found to be easily accessible so that destroying or selling eggs was common. Subsequent to systematic persecution, in Greenland 62% of eyries found to be "easily accessible" and only 13% foiled all attempts to reach them. Similar findings were found in sea cliff nests in Iceland, Norway and Scotland. White-tailed eagles are more vulnerable to direct persecution than golden eagles since most nests are highly accessible for white-tailed eagle but not for golden eagles which usually nest in mountainous, precipitously rocky terrain, in contrast to sea cliff nests of which 67-87% were found to be accessible. Before firearms were widely available in Scotland and Norway automatic traps were utilized wherein carrion was laid out to entice an eagle with a person hiding in a near subterranean trap waited until the eagle was distracted, at that point grabbing the eagle by the leg. Petrified by the darkness once drug below, white-tailed eagles apparently offer no resistance once caught. However, habitat had to be favorable and even when conditions were correct, success at capture as such was low. The main driver of declines before firearms and industrialized poisons was habitat alterations. After about the 1840s, firearms became available and declines accelerated considerably, by 1916 the last nesting pair in all of Britain attempted to raise a brood on the isle of Skye. While other ecological factors have been considered in this decline, stringent research has shown the extirpation here was fully correlated to intentional, rapacious predation by man. Many gamekeepers poisoned and shot eagles and destroyed nearly any nest they encountered. A few more enlightened landowners forbade the killing of eagles but there's evidence that the gamekeepers sometimes chose to destroy eagles regardless of the rule of law. On deer forest, eagles were tolerated later than in other British areas, but destructions accelerated there by the late 1800s. Also many white-tailed eagles were poisoned by shepherds who considered it enemy of the flock. Elsewhere in Europe, persecution rates in the 19th and 20th century were just as drastic. In Romania, more than 400 white-tailed eagles were killed in 2 decades by a single hunter. In Norway between 1959 and 1968, an average of 169 eagles were killed annually; with a maximum of 221 in 1961. Around the year 1860, an author estimated that about 400 were being killed annually throughout Germany. Between 1946 and 1972 in eastern Germany, a total of 194 dead white-tailed eagles were found, about half of them shot, after governmental protection of the species had been instituted there.
The first attempts at reintroduction in Scotland were in 1959 in Glen Etive, Argyll abortively and then a better informed but also ultimately unsuccessful attempt on Fair Isle in 1968. The isle of Rùm in the inner Hebrides was chosen for the first Scottish reintroduction because of its large size (10,600 ha (26,000 acres)) with access to the isle of Skye (where last native pair known in Britain last bred in 1916) and it is only 24 km (15 mi) from the mainland. Also Rùm hosts large seabird colonies that make for viable prey, including eider, shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis), auks and gulls; as well as one of the few in Britain of manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus). Furthermore, mainly as a source of carrion, were a population of around 1500 red deer and 200 feral goats; otters and gulls were also numerous and available to kleptoparasitize. The birds to be used for reintroduction were gathered as nestlings from western Norway, as this is the nearest native breeding population. The young eagles were either kept in high grade fowl cages or tethered all within reach of an artificial eyrie, cover and feeding stations. Direct human contact, which the naturally wild young eagles tended to shun anyway, is minimal short of veterinary care. Releases were carried by taking bird out tethered, wearing a leather hood to prevent imprinting and then releasing with a radio-monitor. Most of the eagles, despite no direct parenting, turned out to be competent hunters within a couple of weeks or do well at stealing meals, including from other released eagles. Despite some dying before release due to illness and some found dead subsequent to release, most survived. A total of 95 birds were received for the Rùm reintroductions and 82 were successfully released between 1975 and 1987. The white-tailed eagle now breeds throughout the Western Isles and the mainland coast of Wester Ross. However, a low reproductive output of reintroduced Scottish eagles was recorded in 1996, and it was advocated that additional releases were needed. In August 2008, an additional fifteen chicks raised in Norway were released at a secret location in Fife, in expectation of reintroducing the species to the east coast of Scotland as well. Breeding success of reintroduced birds in Scotland (from 1975-1985 & 1993-1998) is moderate compared overall in species, in 1982-1992: productivity was 0.38, with a mean fledgling number 1.61. In comparison, for the years 1993-2000, productivity was 0.61 and fledgling number was 1.48, while in 2000-2007, productivity was 0.7 and mean fledgling number 1.44. Overall in Britain, there are estimated 36 breeding pairs in 2006 and 40 in 2008. Juvenile survival rates are somewhat low overall compared to other areas. Reintroduction efforts succeeded in the Bohemia area of the Czech Republic as well, where the biologists similarly followed the guidelines of guarding of occupied eyries and provision of safe foods.
The white-tailed eagle is also being reintroduced to Ireland, where its Irish name of Iolar Mara (sea eagle) reflects its historic association with the island's long coast. The Irish program was begun in the summer of 2007. Fifteen to twenty young eagles from Norway are being released each spring into the Killarney National Park in the south-west of Ireland. This comprehensive project will last a number of years, with many more eagles being released.
Densities of white-tailed eagles have greatly increased in some parts of the range due to conservation efforts. Some threats still remain, notably illegal persecution by gamebird shooting and egg thieves in Scotland.

Gasteracantha cancriformis (spinybacked orbweaver) is a species of orb-weaver spider (family Araneidae). It is widely distributed in the New World.
The genus name Gasteracantha derives from the Greek words γαστήρ (gaster, "belly") and ἄκανθα (acantha, "thorn"), while the specific epithet cancriformis derives from the Latin words cancer ("crab") and forma ("shape, form, appearance").
Females are 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) long and 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in) wide. The six abdominal spine-like projections on the abdomen are characteristic. The carapace, legs, and underside are black with white spots under the abdomen. Variations occur in the colour of the upperside of the abdomen - a white or yellow colour with both featuring black spots. A white upper side can have either red or black spines while a yellow upperside can only have black ones. Like with many other spiders, males are much smaller (2 to 3 mm long) and longer than wide. All morphs have six abdominal spines. They are similar to the females in colour, but have a gray abdomen with white spots and the spines are reduced to four or five stubby projections.
This species of spider does not live very long. In fact, the lifespan lasts only until reproduction, which usually takes place in the spring following the winter when they hatched. Females die after producing an egg mass, and males die six days after a complete cycle of sperm induction to the female.

Heading south from Trenton Nebraska down to Atwood Kansas via Hwy 25....
Was simply a white knuckle drive. Nothing but straight line winds and big hail. Couldn't see anything in front of us. 10 feet was the maximum visibility. Hydroplaning due to the amount of water on the road we had to slow way down to stay safe. It was the last of the day for core punching. It takes some nerves of steel to do what I did that day.
Though I remained calm during this part of the trip the rewards for the final jaunt to get back in front of these emerging storm cells was worth the trip.
Localized flooding and several trees down in Atwood Kansas. The main part of this cell was due east about 10 miles. We didn't take long to get to our destination on beautiful plains of Kansas. One more chance for some incredible structure before we called it a day of storm chasing...

On the open plains of Nebraska...
August was a GEM month for severe storm structure. Folks... I didn't miss a beat.
Pure Eye Candy this one is. Open air supercells developing right as the dry line passed over us in South Central Nebraska.
I wasn't going to get underneath this one though it was close. I could have chased it, but I wanted to get the structure that day. Oh I got what I came for!
I had planned accordingly. Knowing that the storm was going to pass as it rapidly developed to the due east. I waited for bit under the hail core before I got into position to capture this storm.
Building Billowing Beautiful updrafts on the back side of this storm were memorizing. Perfect Supercell structure.

Distributed from western Venezuela to northwest Peru, the Bronze-winged Parrot is mainly found in humid forested areas below 2800 m, and seems to be partially nomadic in parts of its range, for example in parts of Colombia.
It is a rather distinctive bird, given that the only similar species is the Dusky Parrot (Pionus fuscus) of the geographically far-removed Guianan Shield. The Bronze-winged Parrot is mainly bronze-brown to very dark blue, with an obvious pale orbital ring, a yellow-colored bill, white-flecked chin, and deep red ventral underparts. Its ecology and behavior have not been subject to intensive study, but the species remains at least locally common, especially in southwest Colombia and parts of western Ecuador.

"Colombia is the number one country in the world to have the largest varieties of birds, having about 1,876 species and almost 70 kinds that belong specially to Colombia. AVIARIO NACIONAL DE COLOMBIA has done an amazing job to show that. You see some of birds free and others in beautiful habitats. Peacocks, Toucans, Pink Flamingos, Crane Corona, Guacamayas, Pelicanos, Ducks, all types of little colorful birds Colombia is most famous for it, every imaginable birds are here.
This place is so well design, and so well taking care of, that you think some times you are in paradise!"

Corvus is a widely distributed genus of medium-sized to large birds in the family Corvidae. The genus includes species commonly known as crows, ravens and rooks; there is no consistent distinction between "crows" and "ravens", and these appellations have been assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size, crows generally being smaller than ravens.
The 45 or so members of this genus occur on all temperate continents except South America, and several islands. The crow genus makes up a third of the species in the family Corvidae. The members appear to have evolved in Asia from the corvid stock, which had evolved in Australia. The collective name for a group of crows is a "flock" or a "murder".[1] The genus name is Latin for "raven".[2]
Recent research has found some crow species capable of not only tool use, but also tool construction.[3] Crows are now considered to be among the world's most intelligent animals[4] with an encephalization quotient equal to that of many non-human primates.[5]

This storm was picking up speed, and I had to stay in front of the development. Picked up the gear and headed north to I-80 then West to the I-80 Darr Nebraska Exit.
Stopped for just a few minutes to get my bearings on this storm. She was in reorganizing and rebuilding as it was almost moving due north now.
Some nice new structure was developing, and I was in the perfect place to watch it develop... oh yeah, and to take a few snaps....

September 29, 2021 - Kearney Nebraska US
Late September....
Very late in the Storm Season
Apparently I didn't go through all my images thoroughly!
Enjoy these GEMs of some of night photography in 2021. Outflow dominate till it reached Kearney Nebraska. Then this storm got its severe thunderstorm warning and we actually have a small cuplet (small but you can see in this set of images. It only lasted for about 2 mins it lasted and it was night so there were not that many pics @15 intervals)
Thought it was going to produce a brief nader but it didn't. Nice structure for this late in the year and I waited til the last second to leave to get under the belly of the beast!
There might be more but likely this will be my last batch of 2021.
Enjoy!

I was loosing light fast as the sun was just about to set. I had to deiced to either move southeast via Hwy 2 or Hwy 183 due south. It was a guess, since I was simply to close for radar to help.
Hwy 183 has been good to me this year, so I went south. It was a good decision as the storm was now almost on a due south course.

The Red-breasted Merganser is broadly distributed throughout Canada, and is known to breed at latitudes up to 75o N. It is thought to be one of the least abundant sea ducks in Canada. The national population is thought to be increasing. However, its population status and numbers are difficult to accurately determine or estimate since aerial surveys do not always distinguish between the three species of mergansers. The secretive nature of the Red-breasted Merganser, the remoteness of some of its breeding range, and tree cavity-nesting habits also complicate the monitoring of this species. This species has been identified as a priority for conservation and/or stewardship in one or more Bird Conservation Region Strategies in Canada.

The Old Gunpowder works on the Afon Mellte River, Brecon Beacons
An engineering marvel in its heyday!
Nestled in the heart of this valley, 100 years ago, was a thriving Gunpowder works. It was the first explosives factory in Wales and well placed to become a major player in the lucrative, and nationally important, blasting powder market for mines and quarries.
Today, the factory buildings are crumbling and the leats and tramways have all but vanished. The stories of the men and women that spent their working day here, the friendships forged and families sustained will soon will be lost from living memory.

Strong cells will billowing past the cap and towers were forming to our south and to our west. Out of nowhere, things went severe fast as I got lucky to be in the right place at the right time.
Now officially there was no warning from the NWS but these pics tell the tail. We would eventually be under the rotation of the first developing cells of the day.
This particular cell had all the right conditions to form a tornado, but the storm didn't tighten and she never did produce a funnel.

Phoenicopterus ruber
(American flamingo / Flamenco del Caribe)
The American Flamingo is the only flamingo distributed through the Caribbean Sea, the northern coasts of South America, and on the Galapagos. It was formerly considered conspecific with the Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) of the Old World.
Like other flamingos, it feeds in saline and brackish lagoons by straining water through the lamellae on its unique bill and swallowing the invertebrate organisms trapped inside. The American tends to feed somewhat deeper than other flamingos, with the head and often much of the neck submerged.
