Introduction
Living up to its name, this butterfly is the commonest blue found in the British Isles. While the male has bright blue uppersides, the female is primarily brown, with a highly variable amount of blue. This is the most widespread Lycaenid found in the British Isles and can be found almost anywhere, including Orkney. It is absent, however, from Shetland and the mountainous areas of Wales and Scotland. This butterfly forms reasonably discrete colonies measured in tens or hundreds, with individuals occasionally wandering some distance.
Subspecies: Polyommatus icarus icarus
The nominate subspecies was first defined in Rottemburg (1775) as shown here (type locality: Germany). In the British Isles it is found throughout England, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. It may also be found in some parts Ireland, although there is some confusion regarding its status, as discussed under the subspecies mariscolore.
Subspecies: Polyommatus icarus mariscolore
This subspecies was first defined in Kane (1893) as shown here (type locality: Ireland). The distribution of the subspecies mariscolore is a confusing one. Nash (2012) suggests that both mariscolore and icarus are found in Ireland, Riley (2007) suggests that mariscolore is the only subspecies found in Ireland and Thomas & Lewington (2010) suggests that mariscolore is found both in Ireland and in north-western Scotland. It is certainly true that not all Irish Common Blues conform to the description of mariscolore. Specifically, mariscolore is characterised by the amount of blue in the female, but many female Irish Common Blues are brown with a variable amount of blue. The subspecies mariscolore differs from the subspecies icarus as follows:
1. Generally larger in size, especially the female.
2. The upperside of the female has extensive patches of blue, with large and bright orange marginal spots.
Polyommatus icarus mariscolore (Kane, 1893)
The Irish butterfly usually considerably exceeds in size that of England, varying from about 1 inch 2 lines to 1.5 inches in the June emergence; but the individuals of the second emergence are much smaller, and generally conform much more nearly to the usual English type in both sexes. Mr. South notes that the Irish and Scotch icarus are similarly characterised by their large size, and the brilliant blue of the female bordered with bright orange marginal ocelli.
The female offers the most conspicuous divergence from the normal English and Continental type, in which the basal half only is dusted with blue scales, the brown of the upper side being widely replaced by a violet or occasionally wholly by the bright blue of L. bellargus. These forms are not uncommon in Ireland, in Galway, Sligo, Donegal, Antrim, Down, Westmeath, Waterford, &c., and are accompanied by a series (often almost confluent) of very bright orange peacock-eye markings on the outer margins of all wings, so that some specimens (if not too brilliant) would pass muster as the var. ceronus of L. bellargus (fig. 12); another most interesting testimony to the genetic affinities of this species.
It may be that the acquisition of more brilliant colours in the female may be of advantage under less sunny skies, where the sun-loving Rhopalocera have less opportunities of selecting their mates, and cannot afford to indulge in long engagements.
Phenology
This species has 2 broods in the southern counties of England, and 1 brood further north. There may be a 3rd brood in favourable years. Time of emergence is highly variable. In good years, adults may be seen as early as the middle of May on more southerly sites. These peak at the end of May, giving rise to a second generation that emerges in the second half of July, peaking in the middle of August. Colonies in northern England and Scotland typically have a single brood that emerges in June, reaching a peak in July.
Habitat
This species is found in a wide variety of habitats, including unimproved grassland such as roadside verges and waste ground, downland, woodland clearings, heathland and even sand dunes.
Larval Foodplants
The primary larval foodplant is Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus). Black Medick (Medicago lupulina), Common Restharrow (Ononis repens), Greater Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus), Lesser Trefoil (Trifolium dubium) and White Clover (Trifolium repens) are also used.
Nectar Sources
Adults feed primarily on Bird's-foot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), Bugle (Ajuga reptans), Carline Thistle (Carlina vulgaris), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Knapweeds (Centaurea spp.), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.), Thyme (Thymus polytrichus), Vetches (Vicia spp.) and White Clover (Trifolium repens).
Imago
This species is most active in sunshine and is a frequent visitor to flowers. Males are the more active of the two sexes and set up territories which they patrol in search of females. The female is less conspicuous, spending most of her time nectaring, resting and egg-laying. When egg-laying, the female makes slow flights, low over the ground, searching out suitable foodplants on which to lay. When a suitable plant is located, a single egg is laid on the upperside of a young leaf.
In dull weather this species roosts head down on a grass stem. As for similar species, such as the Brown Argus, this species roosts communally at night, with several individuals occasionally found roosting on the same grass stem.
Larva
The larva emerges after a week or two. On emerging from the egg the larva moves to the underside of the leaf, where it feeds, by day, on the lower surface without breaking through the upper leaf surface. This leaves characteristic blotches on the foodplant that can give away the presence of a larva. More mature larvae feed more extensively on the leaves. Those larvae that overwinter do so in leaf litter at the base of the foodplant, changing from green to olive, resuming their green colouring in the spring.
Like many other species of blue, the larva is attractive to ants, although only in its last instar. There are 4 moults in total. If the larva does not overwinter, then this stage lasts around 6 weeks.
Pupa
The pupa is formed on the ground or, occasionally, at the base of the foodplant, under a few silk strands. The pupa is attractive to ants which may bury it in earth. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

The Andean Solitaire has a gorgeous song, often heard in Andean montane forests, but the bird itself is very difficult to spot, as he remains motionless for long periods while singing, often from a discrete perch.

Iguazu Falls stretches along 2.7 kilometers of the river and consists of 275 discrete waterfalls. Taller than Niagara Falls and twice as wide, Iguazu Falls are the result of a volcanic eruption which left a large crack in the earth. During the rainy season of November – March, the rate of flow of water going over the falls may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second.
Tell Tale Travel
A discrete location on Tasmania's North West Coast finds 1,400 million year old proterozoic rocks ripped apart by 8-12 million year old intrusive basalt.
These older, heavily metamorphosed rocks can also be found on the floor of the Grand Canyon in the US.
The sea here - Bass Strait - can get fairly excited so the exposed stone and fractured fractured pebbles become well rounded.
The larger basalt rocks may be from eroded dikes or have tumbled off the steep cliffs behind the camera.
One of my favourite places on the island. I have one pebble from here that shows the effects of four separate metamorphic events and subsequent quaternary weathering. I like to hold it when I feel overly important and consider my place in 1,400 million years...

Dans les monts argentés, les marmottes discrètes,
Veillent sur leurs royaumes, entre roches et fougères,
Leur chant doux résonne, un écho de tendresse.
In the silvered peaks, the quiet marmots dwell,
Guarding their realms, among rocks and ferns,
Their gentle song echoes, a whisper of tenderness.

American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Bartolomeo Schedoni (Modena, January 1578 - Parma, December 23, 1615) - The Maries at the sepulcher (1613-1614 approx.) oil on canvas 200 x 281 cm. - from the Capuchin church of Fontevivo - Galleria Nazionale Parma
Il dipinto era collocato in un alloggiamento a destra dell’altar maggiore di fronte alla Deposizione, anche se le loro misure presentano un discreto scarto dimensionale. Di fatto però questa scena rappresenta la continuità di quella precedente e l’ulteriore prova di una maestria esecutiva che Schedoni raggiunge, come apice della sua carriera, proprio in questa unitaria impresa per i cappuccini di Fontevivo, voluta da Ranuccio I Farnese.
The painting was placed in a compartment to the right of the high altar in front of the Deposition, even if their measurements show a discrete dimensional difference. In fact, however, this scene represents the continuity of the previous one and further proof of the executive mastery that Schedoni achieved, as the apex of his career, in this unitary undertaking for the Capuchins of Fontevivo, commissioned by Ranuccio I Farnese.
Crazy Tuesday
Birds
A gregarious species, the Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is often seen in large flocks, though it also occurs in pairs and trios. It is an active, noisy and conspicuous species which is mainly arboreal, spending much of the day feeding, sometimes in a loose association with Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos. At sunset, flocks of this species are often seen flying high, returning from feeding areas to roosts in large trees along the banks of rivers or streams. They may be less wary while feeding than at other times, and generally do not allow a close approach by an observer, readily taking flight and screeching loudly.
Endemic to mainland Australia, Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos are found in all mainland states, with five distinct subspecies occurring in eight discrete populations across the continent.

Lake Salagou, August 7, 2014. We are a Thursday. End of day.
With a strong desire to refresh with a dip in the lake Salagou
to end the day on the roads of pupils of high Languedoc.
Almost lunar landscape at this time

Taxco (Mexique) - La photo a été prise discrètement sur le marché permanent de la ville. Il a la particularité d’être implanté à flanc de montagne, comme toute la ville.
Pour visiter Taxco à pied, il est nécessaire d’avoir de bons mollets car les rues qui montent sont plutôt raides. Quand je je me rendais dans le coeur historique en passant par le marché en empruntant les escaliers, j’avais parfois le sentiment de faire un trek au Népal.
J’ai eu la mauvaise idée de trouver un hôtel d’un excellent rapport qualité-prix au pied de la ville et j’ai passé mon temps à monter. Monter encore et toujours. Côté positif, pour revenir, ça descend.
The perched market
Taxco (Mexico) - The photo was taken discreetly in the city's permanent market. It has the particularity of being located on the mountainside, like the whole city.
To visit Taxco on foot, it is necessary to have good calves because the streets are steep. When I went to the historic heart, I sometimes had the feeling of trekking in Nepal. The intensity of the effort is the same.
I had the bad idea to find a great value hotel on the edge of town and spent my time going up. going up, going up… On the positive side, to come back, it goes down.
It was during a hike on the customs path at Cap Fréhel that I was struck by this explosion of colors. The heather blooms were at their peak, transforming the coastal moors into a purple carpet undulating in the sea breeze. I was specifically looking for this time of year when Breton nature reveals this particular palette.
In composing this panoramic image, I wanted to create a dialogue between three elements: the heather in the foreground, whose vibrant hues seem almost unreal; the blue immensity of the sea stretching in the middle; and the iconic Fort la Latte outlined in the distance, a discrete testimony to human history in this landscape dominated by natural forces.
The light was perfect that day, with clouds filtering the sun intermittently, creating variations of luminosity on the water and cliffs. I deliberately framed wide to capture the magnitude of this landscape and that sensation of space that overwhelms you when facing the sea from these vertiginous heights.
What particularly touches me about this place is the perfect harmony between the harshness of the elements - the steep cliffs, the constant marine winds - and the delicacy of these small flowers that manage to transform the entire landscape through their collective presence. It's this wild and flowering Brittany, between land and sea, that I wanted to immortalize.
🇫🇷 Des touches d'azur sur les feuilles mortes : quoi de mieux pour annoncer un printemps ? Mais il faut se baisser bien bas pour capturer cette fleur en image : non seulement elle fait la discrète tout près du sol, mais elle se fait souvent voler la vedette par les narcisses qui l'entourent d'un jaune flamboyant.
La scille à deux feuilles, l'étoile bleue des sous-bois frais des 🌳chênaies à charmes🌳, se plait en petites colonies sous les arbres encore sans feuilles. C'est une éphémère de printemps : vite elle doit fleurir avant que les arbres ne lui fassent de l'ombre.

🇺🇸 ️Touches of azure on dead leaves: what better way to announce a spring? But you have to stoop low to capture this flower in pictures: not only does it keep a low profile close to the ground, but it often gets stolen by the daffodils that surround it in flaming yellow.
The two-leaved squill, the blue star of the cool undergrowth of 🌳hornbeam forests🌳, thrives in small colonies under the still leafless trees. It is a spring ephemeral: quickly it must bloom before the trees shade it.

This is the entrance area of the Bentley London Hotel. It is a 5 star Hotel around the corner from Gloucester Road Tube Station. My wife and I have just had a rather quintessentially British afternoon tea here. It was a Christmas present from our boys. Having discretely taken pictures of cucumber sandwiches and scones, I needed to try and find a shot I could post on Flickr as a memory of our day..... As we were leaving I was aware I was lacking an image......The toilets were very posh but not really appropriate so I took this as we were walking out the hotel. Hopefully there’s enough interest????
Just checked....The cheapest room they have available tonight is £349.
Thanks for visiting.
You have a good weekend......
Not much of a slide on this one - subtle at most - but a fair bit of distortion correction. (Photography prohibited so I had to be discrete.)

🇫🇷 Les petites étoiles d'un bleu azur
Dans les 🌳chênaies à charme🌳fraiches, des fleurs égaient le premier printemps. Discrètes, les scilles à deux feuilles n'attirent pas l'œil comme le font les narcisses jaunes que l'on peut trouver aux alentours. Mais quelle autre perspective lorsque l'on se penche tout près du sol pour se mettre à leur hauteur : ces minuscules fleurs d'un bleu azur nous remplissent les yeux à quelques centimètres du sol, comme le ferait un grand ciel bleu entrouvert entre des nuages tourmentés.

In the 🌳hornbeam forests🌳, flowers brighten up the first spring. Discreet, two-leaf squills don't catch the eye like the yellow daffodils that can be found nearby. But what a different perspective when you bend close to the ground to get right up to them: these tiny azure-blue flowers fill your eyes just a few centimetres above the ground, like a big blue sky half-open between tormented clouds.

A gangly raptor with long wings and tail; local in marshes and wetlands with extensive reed beds. Mainly seen in flight, quartering fairly low over marshes, with wings raised in shallow V. Commonest plumage dark brown overall with variable creamy cap, throat, and narrow leading edge to wing. Brightest adult males have tri-colored upper-wings, greyish tail, pale head and breast contrasting with rusty-brown belly. Extremely similar to closely related Eastern Marsh-Harrier; males of that species are darker-headed and browner-chested, and females are warmer brown and streakier on the chest, without Eurasian's discrete white 'cap' and dark line through the eye.
I tried to discretely take a photo of this duck while she was napping but I guess the sound of the camera woke her up. Another reason to get a mirrorless camera I guess. This photo was taken at Bombay Hook NWR.
Large Skipper - Ochlodes sylvanus. Seen in The New Forest, Hampshire.
Info from UK Butterflies.
This is one of the largest of our "golden" skippers and, like these other skippers, the male has a distinctive sex brand on its forewings containing specialised scent scales. Although this species forms discrete colonies, it is widespread and can be found in England and Wales as far north as Ayrshire in the west and North Northumberland in the east. This species is not found in Ireland or the Isle of Man, and is restricted to Jersey in the Channel Islands.

Small Copper / lycaena phlaeas. Dunwich Forest, Suffolk. 23/07/20.
'SUMMER DAY COPPER, A TREASURE INDEED.'
There were a few Small Coppers favouring a section of track in Dunwich Forest. Males spent most of their time patrolling above the Bell Heather, seeing off any type of flying insect, whilst actively seeking out females. They did occasionally take time out to bask on the stony track itself.
I think this particular individual is lycaena phlaeas ssp. eleus and an aberration called caeruleopunctata.
Caeruleopunctata refers specifically to the row of small blue spots just above the orange hindwing margin.
Apparently the aberration varies from having 1-2 faint blue spots through to 5 clearly defined ones. My image gives a glimpse of only some that were present on this butterfly.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
This tornado warned storm (May 29th, 2018, Enid, Oklahoma) was fighting its outflow at this stage. It wanted to stay discrete, but it had that outflow look to it. It had immense amounts of lightning and up to baseball sized hail. I'm going to miss seeing sights like this in 2020.

A Bromélia Neoregelia
Esse gênero é nativo do Brasil, e se caracteriza por não apresentar caule e ser uma planta rizomatosa, isto é, possui rizomas que são uma espécie de caule subterrâneo que tem como função armazenar nutrientes para o sustento e desenvolvimento da espécie vegetal embaixo do solo. As Bromélias que fazem parte do gênero Neoregelia possuem rosetas bem abertas, que apresentam até 40 (quarenta) centímetros de diâmetro. As folhas das espécies vegetais que pertencem a este gênero, podem ser largas e estreitas, mudando de acordo com a espécie de Bromélia. As folhas das Bromélias do gênero Neoregelia são duras e possuem aspecto coriáceo (lembram o couro), e apresentam espinhos em suas margens. As folhas podem ser encontradas na coloração verde. As inflorescências deste gênero de Bromélia são representadas pela mudança das folhas que ficam dentro da roseta, as chamadas brácteas, e de uma maneira geral apresentam coloração vermelha, com o objetivo de proteger as discretas flores brancas que são formadas. Essa combinação acaba compondo um conjunto bastante decorativo e ornamental, o que acaba ajudando o uso ornamental dessa espécie vegetal.

The Neoregelia Bromeliad
This genus is native to Brazil and is characterized by not having a stem and being a rhizomatous plant, that is, it has rhizomes that are a subterranean stem species whose function is to store nutrients for the sustenance and development of the plant species under the soil. Bromeliads that are part of the genus Neoregelia have very open rosettes, which are up to 40 (forty) centimeters in diameter. The leaves of the plant species that belong to this genus, can be wide and narrow, changing according to the species of Bromélia. The leaves of the Bromeliads of the genus Neoregelia are hard and have a leathery appearance (they resemble the leather), and present thorns in its margins. The leaves can be found in green coloration. The inflorescences of this genus of Bromelia are represented by the change of the leaves that remain inside the rosette, the so-called bracts, and in general have red coloration, in order to protect the discrete white flowers that are formed. This combination ends up composing a very decorative and ornamental set, which ends up helping the ornamental use of this plant species.
