Wood Warbler - Phylloscopus sibilatrix

 

The wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe, and just into the extreme west of Asia in the southern Ural Mountains.

This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in tropical Africa.

 

It is a summer visitor to the United Kingdom, seen from April until August. It has declined there in recent years. It is now very rare in Ireland, where only one or two pairs are recorded breeding in most years, usually in County Wicklow.

 

Various factors associated with forest structure, including slope, forest cover, proportion of broad-leaf forest, canopy height and forest edge length, all influenced the occupancy rates of this declining forest species. Conservation measures are therefore required that provide and maintain the wood warblers preferred forest structure. There is also a preference for forest in the non-breeding season, however this habitat is declining in wintering areas such as Ghana. Despite the decline in forest habitats, there has been no change in number of wood warblers as it appears that this species can use degraded habitats, such as well-wooded farms. However, further loss of trees will likely have a negative impact on this species in the future

Care for me, care for me

You said you'd care for me

There for me, there for me

Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me

You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me

Why won't you live for me?

Just the wishful thinking is not enough … but it needs just some positive actions and – who knows – the world could be at our feet …

Wishing you a perfect week-end and that all your dreams come true!!!

Window light plus reflector. I have got proper portrait lenses, but this pancake lens does astonishingly acceptable, often even interesting portrait shots. Perhaps it simply shows that the lens, important as it is, is only one factor in producing the image.

I was trying to take picture for my blog for SHEY and I was lagging really badly, unbeknown to me, my friend Steve managed to grab this remarkable shot. Given he's new to PS and that and only had it for a week - I was blown away :) Thank you Stevie xox

 

"Only large-diameter trees have enough girth to contain the nest and roost cavities of this species, so there is concern for populations of this woodpecker where late-successional forests are being converted to younger stands. Availability of suitable habitat is apparently the factor limiting most populations." Birds of the World

Fresh cornflowers opening now and looking good!

There are so many factors that contribute to the colors of the sunset over the ocean. My preference is the ones that are softer, in more pastel shades. This moment was captured seconds after the sun no longer was visible using a long exposure with movement. The flocks of birds are a common sight at this glorious hour. It's as if they were gone for the day and now at sunset know it's time to head home. I never tire of this experience, and it's the perfect ending to any day.

Flat surfaces not always are boring :)

As they say the limiting factor is not the gear or subject, it is imagination of the photographer.

This friendly young guy gives us a demonstration on one of the flutes he made.

Abstract Reality

  

…… 💙🌠 HMM 🌠💙

Staldzene – an old fishing village with some homesteads surviving from the 19th century, lies to the North of Ventspils on the way to the Kolka point. Here fishermen can still be seen going out to sea, and on calm evenings the scent of dry-cured Baltic plaice wafts through the air.

 

Staldzene is popular with both townsfolk and tourists alike for its walking paths, swimming beach and its dramatic steep coastline. Staldzene steep coast is the highest in Latvia.

 

It is a typical abrasive-type coastline 4 to 8 m high, where deposits of various stages of the Baltic Sea development are exposed for approximately 400 m.

 

As a result of the erosion of the sea, the steep coast is washed away. Based on marine coastline monitoring data, the annual deviation of the coast is estimated at 1 m, because of which the area of the natural monument is reduced and is currently about 6 ha. Therefore, this outcrop has a limited lifetime, reports the information source of the Specially protected nature territory of Ventspils City. Its height has also decreased in the last decade. In the 70s of the last century, the height of the steep coast reached 12 m. Washing away of the steep coast is determined by the combination of several factors, including specific meteorological conditions – wind speed and direction, air temperature, sea level height, currents, waves, ice formation, etc. The Ventspils Port Piers and the deep fairway channel still have a significant impact, which completely stops the natural movement of sediments past the port to the north.

 

Staldzene steep coastline contains protected habitats of European and Latvian importance: wooded seaside dunes, boreal forests, calcareous sand meadows and gray dunes covered with herbaceous plants. There are also 8 specially protected plant species in the territory of the nature monument. Some plants are found only in Ventspils and Pape area in Latvia.

A stunning flower both yellow and orange, a glorious mixture.

Everyday I have the pleasure and privilege of working with beauty.

It is a voyage of discovery, working forensically on flowers, new things every day.

Nature at its very best.

I love Ranunculus, densely layered, and this bloom opened beautifully, not always evident, their stems are extremely delicate and do tend to just collapse before the bud can open into a gorgeous voluptuous bloom...

 

With love to you and thanK you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

The first photographs I saw of Iceland was Vik church in the mist. That image has stayed with me ever since and became symbolic of my love for Iceland. Last year was my first trip and the impact of seeing Vik church was exhilarating, if not overwhelming. I had been dreaming of coming to Iceland for so long.

 

Unfortunately, last year at that time it was an unusually sunny day. Whilst I took literally hundreds of Vik church, they never really captured for me the feeling evoked by that first photograph. Today, on my second trip I was rewarded (if that is the right expression) with an approaching storm. I was going to get my image of Vik church in the mist after all.

 

However, what I did not factor in was the row of cars parked along the front. It has been a labour of love to remove them one by one from the photograph. But for me, it was a labour of love. Hopefully, the image is not too bad either.
