Grimpereau des bois (Certhia familiaris), Neuchâtel, Suisse.
Le Grimpereau des bois a le dessus brun strié de fines touches de blanc et de jaune, de roux et de sépia, dessinant un superbe motif dans le plumage. Il a le dessous blanchâtre, le croupion brun-roux et la queue un peu roussâtre. Il porte un large sourcil. Il est doté d’un long et fin bec arqué, ainsi que d'une longue queue rigide sur laquelle il peut s’appuyer comme le pic épeiche. Ce petit oiseau ausculte les troncs à la recherche d’insectes et d’araignées dans les fissures de l’écorce. Arrivé au sommet d’un arbre, il plonge au pied de l'arbre suivant pour recommencer son exploration toujours à la quête de sa nourriture. Il se rencontre dans les bois et forêts de feuillus, de conifères ou mixte Il est présent plus rarement dans les parcs et les jardins peuplés plutôt par son cousin, le Grimpereau des jardins. Le Grimpereau des bois a une prédilection pour les forêts de conifères situées en montagne. Il Niche en Eurasie, de l'Irlande au Japon, toutefois il est absent d’une grande partie de la péninsule Ibérique, d'une bonne partie de la France, du Benelux et de l'Italie. En Europe il habite principalement dans les Ardennes en Belgique, dans le Jura et les Alpes en Suisse, en Corse, en Normandie et quelques autres endroits dispersées en France.
Off the water and back to the woods to soak up some of the remaining color which is holding fairly well, especially given the strong winds we've had the last few days. I went out specifically to take a bunch of photos to upload into my "new friend," with the single and not unrealistic (I thought) hope of being able to find them...which I did, but not until after numerous wrong guesses as to where I thought they seemingly should be...like "Pictures."
By the way, I appreciate your support and tips re: my new desk top (not a laptop as some seem to have guessed), and it progresses slowly. I really don't use a computer for much other than my photos so I haven't even begun to tap the capabilities of this one...and am uncertain as to whether I will even try or not. What I would like to find is the 90% of my photos which did not appear with the others when I transferred them from the flash drive to the new computer. 10% are in fancy new folders...the rest unpleasantly invisible. Everything sees very hit and miss...mostly miss for now causing me to simply walk away from the computer and find other occupations. My learning curve and patience have both suffered with old age.

Thank you for taking a peek.....🎄
I had always loved seeing a photo of this tree in many of my contacts photostreams. I had never known where it was until James and I were wondering around Steptoe one night. I was so happy when I saw it even though I knew I couldn't do it justice. So here is my first attempt, and I am looking forward to photographing this tree next spring.
I recently bought this for the garden and learned they can grow into shrubs here in the tropics. Hopefully this one will thrive and make lots of flowers.
Take a good look at this photograph. Do you feel you recognise it? From this angle I was struck immediately by how strangely familiar it was. Now look at this painting: artsandculture.google.com/asset/the-church-in-auvers-sur-...
It doesn't have the twisted "aliveness" or colour of Vincent's great work (one of the last he produced), but the basic shape is there. I deliberately chose monochrome here, because frankly, how can anyone compete with Vincent's colour sense?

Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel
Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]
In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.
Beschreibung
Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.
Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.
Eurasian curlew
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew
The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.
This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.
The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.
The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".
The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.

Thank you so much for all the support and be well! 😊
We've all seen this motif several times before but I never tire of this place and I hope you don't either!.
Before anybody suggests it - I would have liked to have cropped some from the left and the top but I wanted to keep the clouds so I didn't!
And everyone has to have a silhouette of a boat against a brilliant sunset, amiright?

It’s always nice to take a photo of a song sparrow. These birds are everywhere and each one is just a little bit different. A rich, russet-and-gray bird with bold streaks down its white chest, the Song Sparrow is one of the most familiar North American sparrows. Yet every time we see one it is a treat.

With all the excitement of the new spring birds arriving, it is easy to take the familiar faces for granted. I truly enjoy watching the Cardinal couple in our backyard. Although I have not put a feeder out this spring, they still come to nibble on my suet that I had left over and they bathe in the bird bath under the budding Lilac tree. They whiz through the yard with such expertise. When they fly in, they fly low and barely skim the hedge. My husband wondered if they stay low because of their bright color. It may make them less visible to predators and give them quick access to cover if they need it. I just get ready to duck out of the way when they come.
Familiar is a track by Agnes Obel, and this is a familiar scene. Go down to the beach, slow down and watch the sky perform. It usually does. This strange curl of cloud was in a line and came straight towards me up the channel. The only problem with changing skies is that if they're good, you can take so many shots , saying that , it's a nice problem to have.
A common garden bird throughout much of Asia, found in open forests, fields, and parks; introduced to several regions around the world. Often tame and approachable. Brown overall with a rosy breast and a unique white-spotted black nape patch. Plumage shows slight regional variation: western birds have dark centers to wing feathers, lacking in eastern birds. Turtle-doves are larger, have black centers to wing feathers and stripes rather than spots on the neck. Coos loudly and often: “coo-a-roooo”. (eBird)

A familiar bird to us but welcome nevertheless. We saw or heard this pretty dove most days during our time in Singapore, usually deep in the trees or on the ground.
