This room is part of the Old Royal Palace at Prague Castle and is known as the Diet Hall. It was built in the late Gothic style and used for meetings of the Bohemian Estates. The hall is notable for its impressive ribbed vaulting and the royal throne placed beneath a canopy decorated with the emblem of Bohemia. Here, important political and judicial sessions were held, along with ceremonial events.
Someone has dropped a chunk of watermelon on my nature strip. I took it to the garden to watch, which birds would fancy it. At lunchtime it provided a welcome variety in the diet of two visiting Pied Currawongs.

The White-faced Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna viduata) is a highly social and vocal waterfowl species easily recognized by its striking black-and-white head pattern. Unlike many other ducks, it has long legs and a long neck, giving it an upright, almost goose-like silhouette.
Physical Appearance
Head:
A bright white face and crown contrast sharply with a black rear head and nape.
Body:
Features a rich chestnut or rufous breast, dark brown to black wings and back, and distinctive fine white barring on its black flanks.
Legs and Bill:
It has long, bluish-grey legs and a long, dark grey bill.
Similar Sexes:
Males and females are virtually identical in plumage, though juveniles have less contrasted head patterns.
Behavior and Communication
Whistling Call:
They are named for their clear, high-pitched, three-note whistling call (swee-swee-sweeoo), which they use frequently in flight and while feeding to maintain group cohesion.
Social Structure:
They are extremely gregarious, often gathering in dense flocks of hundreds or even thousands.
Bonding:
Mating pairs are monogamous for life and strengthen their bonds through frequent mutual preening (allopreening).
Activity:
They are largely nocturnal, flying to foraging areas at night and resting in large flocks on banks during the day.
Diet and Habitat
Diet:
Primarily vegetarian, they eat seeds, grasses, grains (like rice), and aquatic plants. They also supplement their diet with mollusks, crustaceans, and insects by diving or dabbling in shallow water.
Habitat:
They inhabit a wide range of freshwater environments, including lakes, swamps, marshes, floodplains, and artificial sites like rice paddies and sewage works.
Distribution:
They have a unique "disjunctive" distribution, being native to both sub-Saharan Africa and South America, though they do not migrate between these continents.
The tide was receding leaving an amazing assembly of worm casts and tiny depressed feeding pits. They are made by lugworms who have U shaped burrows beneath the sand and seabed. They eat microorganisms and organic debris. They are eaten by curlews, oystercatchers and godwits – plus crabs and fish! Some escape and live for several years.

Touched by sunlight as he struggles to get back into shape by doing some jumping jacks, this loon has dyslexia and mistook Oreo for Keto for his spring diet.
Common mistake.

Part of a flock of about a dozen Bearded Tits collecting grit from the path to help digest their winter seed diet. I could hear all the pinging but was looking at the reed tops rather than the path. Unfortunately not much detail in this shot, but it gives a better idea of the behaviour than my other closer shots.
for #FlickrFriday theme #Balance
A balanced diet is one that gives the body the nutrition it needs to function properly. In order to get a truly balanced diet, one must have a literal interpretation of this concept.
I really have two selves...my music self and my street life self...but when they collide, it is to try to capture the energy in life, the joie de vivre in each moment. And, sometimes concert photography is fun and easy when it's an indie band you like who doesn't have the crazy rights grab photo contract and who actually might appreciate the fact that you enjoyed their set. The industry can be a real joy kill but there are still some great moments to be had.
There are some of you who only love my concert work and others of you who only love my street/protest work...but there are two selves that have to meet and reconcile as one. It's a struggle every day but these moments make it all worthwhile.
