They are most likely to be seen in this part of Virginia in late summer, but are uncommon. I have seen single individuals on a couple of days and my high daily count has been three. They are evidently much more common in the deep South.

A finger post in the village of Bickington the post retains a distinctive finial but the arms are of a more recent era. The directions to Haytor and Ilsington refer to the old road that once passed up besides the old Toby Jug Inn a road that is no more closed off in the mid 1970s when the dual carriageway was built. The directions to Newton Abbot are via old roads but essentially can be followed out from here until reaching the main A383 between the town and Ashburton.
Puri has a very wide and distinctive selection of handicrafts. Best known is probably the applique work of Pipili. Pipili is on the way from Puri to Bhubaneswar. It is 40 kilometres from Puri, at the junction where the Konark road branches from the Bhubaneswar to Puri road. It is a small village. On the main road at Pipili there are many shops selling Appliquework products, tourist visiting Puri buy these products from Pipili. It is famous in Orissa as well as in India for it's applique craft. Each and every family of the village engaged themeselves in this applique craft. Applique, a French term, is a technique by which various cutting pieces of coloured fabrics are applied to the surface of another foundation fabric. Applique works of Pipili is also known as patching cloth design and in local language this handicraft is known as 'Chandua'.
Samiana(Canopies) and chhatris(umbrellas) that bear magnificent appliques and designs of great artistic skill are manufactured at pipili and puri. It is a hereditary craft. Brightly coloured patches of fabric, cut into animal and flower shapes, are sewn onto bed covers, cushions, wall hangings etc. The art form typically depended on four basis colours, red, white, black and yellow to produce a striking effect.
Any type of worship is incomplete without pipili chandua. Canopies, chhatries and tarasas made in applique process are increasingly finding place in festivities. In every religious geity be it the car festival or the minor event of festive, shamiana or the canopies are displayed significantly. Wide scale use of shamiana are seen in the various festival of Lord Jagannath. Since the Lord's rituals are more of the nature ofthe daily routine of human being, fan, umbrella of applique work are in rampant use to save the deity from the scorching heat of Sun or the rough weather. In chandan yatra the entire procession is taken out displaying and covering the deities with chattris of applique work. Further, the chandua another marvel of applique work has become a household commodity in almost every religious work.
Besides used in the religious function, with the touch of a little modernity, garments of varied designs are also made with it.
The village of Pipili derived its name from Pirs, holy Muslim saints who lived in this area. But, their craft was used in Hindu temples, especially the Puri Jagannath temple. Be it the Car Festival, Snana Jatra (annual ritual of bathing festival), Chaitra festival or the Darji Seva, these Chandua artisans weaved their creative magic almost everywhere. And it was for these very temple rituals and festivals that the then Kalinga Emperor awarded a piece of land at todayās Pipili to these artisans so that they could flourish their art and craft here.

Distinctive looking paropsine larvae showing their usual behaviour - Paropsis aegrota elliotti (note that subspecies elliotti applies to the Tasmanian population whereas those occurring on the mainland are P. aegrota aegrota). The lavae gather only in small groupings (usually 3 to 4), resting together in tight lines facing into a leaf axil.
The larvae in the top picture are in a slight alarm position - if they were fully at rest the abdomen of the middle one would be resting on top of the thorax of the one tucked close behind it. The larvae below was munching away until I got in it's face and it immediately assumed full alarm position.
The two more horizontal larvae above and the one in the pics below are final (4th) instar larvae - having a fair amount of orange colouring and with swollen abdominal turbicles. I'm assuming the other larvae above is a third instar as it clearly hasn't got swollen turbicles like the other two. First and second instars are black.
Photographed mid-summer, foothills of Mt Wellington, Hobart.

The piwakawaka is one of New Zealandās best known birds, with its distinctive fanned tail and loud song, and particularly because it often approaches within a metre or two of people. Its wide distribution and habitat preferences, including frequenting well-treed urban parks and gardens, means that most people encounter fantails occasionally. They can be quite confiding, continuing to nest build or visit their nestlings with food when people watch quietly. There are two colour forms or āmorphsā of fantail, with the more common pied morph occurring throughout its range, and the black morph comprising up to 5% of the South Island population, and occasionally occurring in the North Island.
The New Zealand fantail occurs in two colour morphs: pied and black. The adult pied fantail has a greyish head, prominent white eyebrows, brown back and rump, cinnamon breast and belly, white and black bands across the upper breast, and a long black and white tail. Juvenile pied fantails are of mainly brown tones over the head and body, and lack the striking eyebrows and chest bands. Black fantails are mainly black, with black-brown over the rump, belly and flight feathers, and occasionally have a white spot over each ear. Juvenile black fantails tend to be more dark brown than black. Black fantails are rare in the North Island, and make up less than 5% of individuals across the South Island. Main difference between the subspecies is the amount of white in the tail. Fantails are occasionally seen without tails!
Voice: fantails are quite vocal, except when it is particularly cold. They regularly give ācheepā calls in a number of situations, such as when foraging or alarmed. The speciesā distinctive song has been described as āa chattering tweeta-tweeta-tweetaā¦. of regular rhythmā, and of high pitch. It can be heard throughout the year, particularly during the breeding season (August-March), but least of all during cold, wet days of winter - www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz
Kereru - New Zealand pigeon - Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae
This large and distinctively-coloured pigeon is a familiar sight to many New Zealanders. This is because the New Zealand pigeon (or kereru) has a widespread distribution through the country, being present in extensive tracts of native forest, and rural and urban habitats, including most cities. As well as allowing close approach, it often roosts conspicuously, such as on powerlines or on the tops of trees. The distinctive sound of its wing beats in flight also draws attention. Kereru also frequently feature on works of art, such as paintings and sculptures. However, even though it is widespread, like many forest birds its abundance is severely compromised by introduced mammals, particularly possums, stoats and ship rats. Only where these pests are not present (predator-free islands) or are controlled to low levels do kereru populations thrive - www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz
Mid morning hunt
Red Kites are distinctive because of their forked tail and striking colour - predominantly chestnut red with white patches under the wings and a pale grey head.
They have a wingspan of nearly two metres (about five-and-a-half-feet), but a relatively small body weight of 2 - 3 Ibs.
This means the bird is incredibly agile, and can stay in the air for many hours with hardly a beat of its wings
