Toy Project Day 2550
Enkele keren per week rijdt RTB Cargo Hödlmayr autotreinen tussen Esztergom (H) en Zeebrugge. Op woensdag 24 maart werd deze autotrein die beladen is met Suzuki’s gesleept door de RTB Evolution Vectron, helaas zou hij het volledige traject in België tijdens de nacht gaan afleggen…
Door de vertraging die de trein opliep in Duitsland was het plots toch mogelijk om hem bij daglicht te zien! Als klap op de vuurpijl moest de trein ook nog eens gaan driehoeken op bundel Zwankendamme (omdat de auto’s in de verkeerde richting stonden voor ontlading) en zo kon er toch nog een foto gemaakt worden met een goede zonnestand.
Terwijl de rest van het land nog kon genieten van een prachtige blauwe lucht, was het aan de kust alweer een gevecht met sluierwolken… Maar desondanks toch tevreden met het resultaat :-)

It’s not hard for the snail kite to plan its daily menu. The endangered raptor eats only one food: apple snails, and a lot of them—10,000 a year per bird. Catching the freshwater snails is a laborsome venture that involves waiting until the snail comes to the surface to breathe and—at the exact right moment—swooping down to grab it. Employing its perfectly adapted curved beak, the kite then extracts its escargot and repeats the process 27 more times, every day.
This specialist bird has been hit hard by habitat declines and other changes in the Florida wetlands it calls home. From 2000 to 2007, scientists noticed a steep decline in the number of snail kites, owing in part to two major droughts that left their wetlands parched. The decline was also affected by the rarity of the apple snail, which lives in a very particular habitat and has a relatively short lifespan. Without its snails, the snail kite's chances of survival were looking poor—until an unlikely invader found its way to Florida.
It turns out there is more than one variety of apple snail. The non-native South American apple snail likely made its way to the Sunshine State via the pet trade, possibly when a rash aquarium owner released the species into the wild. The South American snail, which can grow to nearly the size of a tennis ball, quickly outpaced its native cousin, which is only the size of a ping-pong ball. It lays more eggs, lives longer, and can adapt to more diverse habitats than the native variety, and so spread widely all over the Florida wetlands.
You may sense where this story is going. A recent study in Nature Ecology & Evolution found that the snail kite has rapidly evolved so as to be able to forage on this new, larger prey. The bills of the raptor, says Robert Fletcher, coauthor of the study and associate professor in the department of wildlife ecology and conservation at the University of Florida, have increased in size since the invasion of the South American snail.
“Bill size and shape are heritable, meaning that birds with larger bills pass the trait onto their offspring, and larger-billed birds have a higher survival rate,” says Fletcher. Parent kites that are able to handle the larger apple snail bring it back to their young, who are more likely to grow stronger, survive, and breed in turn. The first couple months of life are the most dangerous for young snail kites, who are just learning how to forage on their own and aren’t yet skilled at it. “Bigger-bill snail kites seem to survive much better during this time,” says Fletcher. The result: Numbers of large-bill snail kites have tripled in the past decade.
I found this Female at Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, Prairie Division, in Osceola County, Florida.
So how did we get here? Well that's a bit of a story that starts long ago and seems to have gotten way off track. There's something to be said about being a time traveller, and the timeline is getting fuzzier by the day.
