Wikipedia: The oriental dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a pocket-sized bird in the family Alcedinidae. This tropical kingfisher is a partial migrant that is endemic across much of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It resides in lowland forests, typically near streams or ponds, where it feeds upon insects, spiders, worms, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards. This small bird is easily distinguishable from other birds in its range due to its red bill, yellow-orange underparts, lilac-rufous upperparts, and blue-black back.
The oriental dwarf kingfisher is a forest and wetland-dwelling species that is endemic across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Populations have been found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

The legend of wroclaw dwarfs
Story says that the gnomes have lived in Wrocław since the beginning,
and their history is passed down from generation to generation.
The first gnome to appear in the settlement was the well-known Papa Dwarf.
He, along with his fellows, helped the first Wroclaw residents in their daily activities.
The gnomes repaired everyday objects, worked in the fields, patched holes in people’s clothes,
and helped raise children. In return, they received safety and shelter.
Since then, they are considered as the town’s protective spirits.
In the legends, it is said that where the gnomes live, prosperity
and order reign. The symbiosis of people and Wrocław gnomes coexist to this day,
and the little statues scattered throughout the city are here to remind you of it.

If you look closely you will see two humans in the horizon. A cool effect of using a wide-angle lens.

Dwarf mistletoes are small parasitic plants that require a living host to survive. In this case the host is Douglas Fir.
I received a parcel at the end of last year, a box full of bulbs, I don't know where they came from but as no one has claimed them I decided to plant them in. There are these lovely dwarf Irises, purple crocus and one more that hasn't come out yet.
