La freesia alba es una planta herbácea de la familia de las iridáceas con un olor dulce e intenso a azucena que se cría con facilidad y se expande rápidamente.
Esta planta procede de Sudáfrica y suele florecer en verano y en otoño, siendo su reproducción por división de bulbos o mediante semillas.
At one time confined to Wales as a result of persecution, a reintroduction scheme has brought red kites back to many parts of England and Scotland. Central Wales, central England - especially the Chilterns, central Scotland - at Argaty and along the Galloway Kite Trail are the best areas to find them.
In 1989, six Swedish birds were released at a site in north Scotland and four Swedish and one Welsh bird in Buckinghamshire. Altogether, 93 birds of Swedish and Spanish origin were released at each of the sites, with the last birds released in 1993 in Scotland and 1994 in England.
The first successful breeding was recorded at both sites in 1992, and two years later kites reared in the wild themselves reared young for the first time. Successful breeding populations have become established in both locations.
These early successes justified the next stages of the programme with the aim to produce five self-sustaining breeding populations of red kites in Britain by year 2000. The eventual aim is to ensure that the red kite breeding population expands to colonise all suitable habitat throughout the UK.

Little Egret - Egretta garzetta
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. The genus name comes from the Provençal French Aigrette, egret a diminutive of Aigron, heron. The species epithet garzetta is from the Italian name for this bird, garzetta or sgarzetta.
It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.
It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. It has also begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of least concern..
Macro Mondays - Tape
Happy Macro Monday everyone.
Dolly was a bit miffed she'd put on a few pounds over Christmas. And that tape measure she'd got out of the Christmas cracker, was proof she wasn't going to fit into her Summer dresses.
PS ... for us mere mortals, the tape measure is tiny and totally useless for us.

I was litteraly eaten alive by mosquitos so I hope you like this picture :)
L'aigrette garzette mesure entre 55 et 65 cm avec une envergure de 85 à 95 cm. Elle pèse 500 g en moyenne. Il n'y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel. Elle est entièrement blanche avec un bec noir légèrement gris bleuté à la base et ses pattes sont noires avec des doigts jaunes. En période nuptiale, elle porte sur la nuque deux longues plumes fines de 20 cm environ appelées les aigrettes
Elle est présente en Europe du Sud, sur tout le pourtour méditerranéen jusqu'en Afrique subsaharienne.
L'Aigrette garzette se rencontre dans toutes les zones humides aux eaux peu profondes, lagunes, claires à huîtres, avec une prédilection pour les eaux saumâtres. Elle est aussi fréquente le long des cours d'eau que dans les marais dans certaines régions. Souvent observée en compagnie d'autres ardéidés.

I'm not sure why these are called Inca Doves. Reportedly, they've never inhabited the Andes Mountains of Peru where the Inca Empire thrived. They do live in Mexico and southern US states, however. And apparently they're expanding northward. Look out Colorado, they're coming. These are very small doves, just a little bigger than a sparrow.

The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.
The Scrub Tanager is identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

I just like this old barn. The more beat up and rustic it gets the more of it's character I enjoy.
It has not escaped my attention that half of this year’s pictures have been buildings . I guess admitting I have a problem is the first step.

Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), also known as the Northern Barred Owl, Striped Owl or, more informally, Hoot Owl, is a North American large species of owl. A member of the true owl family, Strigidae, they belong to the genus Strix, which is also the origin of the family's name under Linnaean taxonomy. Barred owls are largely native to eastern North America but have expanded their range to the west coast of North America where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they can also acclimate to various gradients of open woodlands. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but this species is an opportunistic predator and is known to prey upon other small vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as a variety of invertebrates.

Este monasterio se conoce su existencia desde 1137. Los modestos edificios iniciales fueron ampliándose gracias a las donaciones y las adquisiciones de la comunidad monástica. La sala Capitular, posteriormente utilizada como sacristía es conocida popularmente como "sala de las palmeras", data de finales del siglo xv y está sustentada por cuatro columnas centrales de fustes torsos rematando en una original bóveda

Winter silhouette at Silverdale beach, looking south across Morecambe Bay, with the tide ebbing and Heysham in the distance. Just in Lancashire, on the Cumbria border, it's designated an AONB (now, National Landscape) and an SSSI.
Morecambe Bay is a large estuary in northwest England, just to the south of the Lake District National Park. It is the largest expanse of intertidal mudflats and sand in the UK, covering 310 square kilometres. It's also an important wildlife site, with abundant birdlife and varied marine habitats.
The extensive sandflats are the remains of a vast outwash plain established by glacial meltwaters as the last ice age waned 11,000 years ago.
