Black-footed Albatross (Phoebastria nigripes) is one of few albatrosses with all dark plumage, although it is named only for the colour of its feet. All plumages are dark, but adults acquire white around the bill base and they breed, every two years, once they are seven years old. They are also unusual in being one of just three (Pacific) Northern Hemisphere breeding albatrosses with 97% of the global population breeding in Hawaii. The Atlantic doesn't have any Northern Hemisphere breeding albatrosses though occasional "lost" individuals stray here, like the famous Bempton Black-browed Albatross. Like many albatross species Black-footed has suffered heavy losses and it is classified by IUCN as near-threatened. Its scientific name Phoebastria is named after an Ancient Greek prophetess or soothsayer, while nigripes means black-footed. About 400 pairs breed on Guadalupe Island in Mexico and I photographed this adult about 200km from there, off the coast of Baja. But they weren't common. We had just three sightings, all on the same morning, so may have been just one bird returning.

The Pink-footed Shearwater (Ardenna creatopus) breeds on islands off the coast of Chile but after breeding they move north and are seen off the west coast of North America. They rather remind me of Cory's Shearwater in size, shape and plumage. Most books list it as separate from the darker Flesh-footed Shearwater (A. carneipes) but a recent study published in 2021 showed there were negligible genetic differences between them and they are better considered as different colour morphs of the same species. Interestingly the scientific names of Pink-footed and Flesh-footed Shearwaters (creatopus and carneipes) both translate as "flesh-footed". I did not see many off Baja but thankfully I did manage to photograph one of the few I did see, and you can just make out its pink feet.

Taken in my local park a few weeks ago.

I couldn't resist the chance to see this first summer falcon as it was only a few miles from home, particularly as I'd never seen one before.

 

It was great to watch it hawking for insects high up on the thermals this morning. The only problem was it didn't come down low enough for a really decent shot. Sometimes though just being there is what it's all about.

In what has become a signature shot on the Freeport McMoRan Industries operation between Morenci and Clifton, AZ, the first of three uphill trains lifts cars interchanged with the Arizona Eastern to the mine. The operator, who has ridden the steps from the curve in the right distance to this point, jumps off and runs ahead of the train and under the Shannon Road overpass, presumably to open, close, or perform some other operation on the switch to the spur. I really have no idea.

Fishing vessels along the pier at the capital of the island, Zakynthos Town. The capital is built in the eastern part of the island, at the foot of the hill Bochali. The port connects Zakynthos with the Peloponnese, and there are daily departures around the island to visit Navagio Beach (Shipwreck), the Blue Caves, and Marathonissi.

The black-footed cat is the smallest cat in the world. They are even smaller than the domestic cat. One of their preferred food items are spiders. In the Afrikaan dialect they are called miershooptier or "anthill tiger". They have this name because they will often sleep inside of hollowed out termite mounds, which are known as ant hills in African countries.

Foot bridges like this one make it easy to negotiate those really wet areas on the trail.

Theridiidae Checklist: Comb-Footed Spiders

 

Comb-footed spiders from the family Theridiidae Sundevall, 1833 are small spiders, but it is one of the largest family of spiders living in tree canopies. The “comb”, or serrated bristles on tarsi IV gives the spiders in this family its common name. While some theridiids construct three-dimensional webs or cob webs, several genera do not build webs at all.

CN 3210 leads a lengthy stack train out of Big Foot siding at Hauer, Wisconsin southeast of Stone Lake. A northbound frac sand train passed clearing the route along the Superior Subdivision.

Ce tunnel long d'environ 370 mètres relie les 2 rives de la Tamise, à un endroit où il n'y a pas de pont.

Il faut descendre de 15 m, par un ascenseur (ou un escalier). Il date du tout début du XXè siècle.

Normalement dédié aux piétons il est aussi emprunté par des vélos qui roulent assez vite (au lieu de poser pied au sol comme cela est demandé, sur cette photo on peut deviner l'inscription au sol "no cycling")

 

This tunnel, approximately 370 meters long, connects the two banks of the Thames, in a place where there is no bridge.

We have to go down 15 m, by an elevator (or a staircase). It was built at the very beginning of the 20th century.

Normally dedicated to pedestrians, it is also used by bicycles which travel quite quickly (instead of putting their foot on the ground as is requested, in this photo we can guess the inscription on the ground "no cycling")

There are no cars or trucks in Itilleq, Greenland, and it's easy to get around on foot.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.

Sometimes you just need a change in perspective.

I recently read that Australia's Sulphur Crested Cockatoos are left footed (as in right handed). I also saw a very cute Instagram video of a number of them visiting people in a unit block in Sydney and noted a lovely meeting between a resident and her toes and one of the cockies reaching out and grabbing said toes with its left foot. I threw my mind back to our thirteen years with our beautiful boy Clarry and realised he also used his left foot to grab things, always.

 

And here is proof taken today in Brisbane. I watched two cockatoos scrounging around in detritus under a big tree, grabbing and eating things, all with their left feet.

So many of our Chaffinches show this condition, Scaly Leg, Tassel Foot, or more properly called Fringilla coelebs papillomavirus.

One of Australia's most spectacular insects, the Black-footed Katydid is found throughout southern Australia in eucalyptus woodland.

Happy Halloween!

I felt like I have to post some bloody Halloween stuff!

So I post a lifesize model of a foot.

Whilst down for the Scot on the CME, we stopped at Beck Foot for 4S43 and I'm happy how it came out. The vegetation hides the fence very well. 08/08/20
