En febrero las avocetas ( Recurvirostra avosetta) aún no presentan su precioso plumaje de cría. Los negros son menos intensos y el píleo, que más tarde será negro brillante, muestra zonas blancas en la frente.

In February, avocets (Recurvirostra avosetta) have not yet displayed their beautiful breeding plumage. The blacks are less intense, and the crown, which will later become glossy black, shows white areas on the forehead.

This adult Jay reveals the white forehead marking that identifies it as belonging to the interior population of this species. West coast populations and juvenile birds do not have these marks. This species is a regular forested mountain dweller in NM. This guy was cautiously surveying the ground where I had scattered some seed... they are extremely wary up here... totally unlike those in the nearby Sandia Mountains picnic areas.

A bindi is traditionally applied to the Hindu forehead to symbolise the third eye. Bharti uses bindis to transform objects and surfaces allowing the viewer to look at them anew.

Barn Swallow / hirundo rustica. Bawdsey, Suffolk. 27/04/23.

 

'HOMEMAKER.'

 

No prizes for guessing what this beauty had been doing!

 

By late April the first Swallows were back at their traditional nesting site on the Suffolk coast. When I visited, the area was charged with activity - agile flybys, rapid chases, mating attempts and exuberant chattering songs.

 

Some birds had wasted no time in preparing/repairing nests for the breeding season and this bird pictured was one of them. Here it is taking a little time out from gathering wet mud from the edges of puddles. I love the thin streaks of mud on its forehead and chin, not quite a mud pack, but getting there!

 

BEST VIEWED LARGE.

Sunday morning in the Mundari tribe, South Sudan. In a little church made of four adobe walls and a metallic roof, a nun. After 3 hours of christian mass the heat was unbearable, and many people were trying to leave the celebration, but this woman was standing in the entrance and was sending them back on the benches made with trees branches. The scarifications she has on the forehead are a beauty sign. Before they were making it to children but under pressure of the clergy, they tend to it to the young adults now. She was kind enough to allow me to take a breath outside!

Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.

 

They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.

 

They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida.

This elderly gentleman with the blossoms over his earwas the attendant at a ruined Buddhist temple nearby the Elephant Cave, in a light rain. He has ritual wet rice grain attached to the middle of his forehead. Rice is applied between the eyebrows, a place where Buddhism believes all our energy is concentrated, and it is one of the 'chakras' in our body called agni chakra, the center of spirituality. It is the spot to connect to our inner self.

20/05/2017

Quite a long time ago - almost two and a half years in fact, I felt unwell. The tissues and the linctus were dragged from the cupboards along with the extra strong Lemsip and the cheap whisky (I refuse to waste the single malt on maladies). I spent the entire May afternoon lying on the sofa with the back of my hand over my forehead feeling sorry for myself.

 

In one sense I'd picked a good day to be ill. Manchester City rewarded me for being poorly by matching the long standing record score for an FA Cup Final and beating an unfortunate Watford team by six goals to nil. Later on I could enjoy the crazy annual political manoeuvring that is the Eurovision Song Contest - again Britain finished last and barely managed a single point, while our Dutch friends romped away with the title. At least I felt I'd been entertained during my convalescence. Meanwhile the following day's appointment festered inside my brain, playing mind games. I'd already cancelled my stay with Colin in Saltash before heading over the bridge the next morning to take part in the annual half marathon in Plymouth, or Britain's Ocean City as it styles itself for these events. I'd told my friends I wasn't going. For the second year in three I'd developed a serious case of man flu twenty-four hours before the race. The previous time I'd succumbed I still ran, despite eating completely the wrong type of food (erm fish and chips actually) the night beforehand. It went badly and the picture of the red faced sweaty man hiding behind his mirrored running glasses and heading to his slowest ever finish time on the final strait tells the tale on its own. I wasn't going to put myself through that again.

 

So it will come as no surprise at all for you to read that at 5am the following morning I was in my car, readying myself for the sixty mile drive to Britain's Ocean City, for the frankly unreasonable 8:30am Sunday start. Quite what I was thinking of I'll never really know, but I have an unhealthy obsession with adding medals to the collection - I'd paid the entry fee and I wanted the bling, the goody bag and the finisher's shirt so that I could add them to the pile. I was armed with a bag of dates, which I'd recently discovered to be a magic ingredient. "What could go wrong?" I reasoned. Well frankly a lot could have gone wrong, but bizarrely the opposite happened and I knocked more than three minutes off my previous personal best - even more bizarrely on a hilly course where I'd never dreamed I could run such a time. I still can't explain what went right that day, but I'd never felt so strong, all the more odd after the previous day's indolence on the sofa. I think it was the dates; either that or there was an unknown ingredient in the Lemsip that would have a vastly more capable runner ejected from the Olympic Games.

 

Buoyed by my success I duly signed up for a fourth consecutive year despite the 8:30am start in a city 90 minutes drive away. This was some time in the back half of 2019, before the word "Covid" entered unpopular parlance; before the world stopped and everything you'd booked and paid for months in advance was cancelled. As I write I'm still waiting for three concerts and a holiday, all of which are now re-scheduled for the first half of 2022; all of which were supposed to happen in the first half of 2020. But you know that because you've got your own collection of postponements to attend at some point in the future,

 

Apart from the concerts and the holiday I'd also had to wait for the races I'd entered to take place twelve, eighteen or twenty-four months later, including Britain's Ocean City Half Marathon. But in the meantime my fitness had suffered without the benefit of regular exercise, and I'd got to the point where I wasn't sure that I could run thirteen miles at all, let alone in a time I'd be happy with. So when the event finally came and went on 5 September, I excused myself from the proceedings in favour of a lie in. Money down the drain, but at least I'd still be walking the following day.

 

And then I received an email, inviting me to run, jog or walk the distance at a more convenient time, with an end of October deadline. All I'd have to do is register, pay a delivery charge, submit the evidence that I'd actually done the distance in one go and I'd get the bling sent to me in the post. I couldn't resist. Today Ali and I put on our walking boots and pounded the thirteen and a bit miles along the local bike trail. She deserves a medal for putting up with me most of the time so I'll share this one with her.

 

And while I was at it, I thought I'd try out the new toy, the one they gave me when I retired last month - the Olympus underwater camera, that's likely to remain dry until next summer. It's even got RAW format files among the options. It's a while since I've used a point and shoot camera - remember when you used to get your fingers into the frame all the time? Yes I did that a lot - I'll learn hopefully.

 

I hope you all have a good weekend - I've got another postponed event tomorrow - a five mile obstacle course involving mud, mud and more mud - apart from the bit where we have to wade chest deep through a river and the bit where we have to crawl through a swamp under barbed wire that is. On Sunday I'm going to lie in a darkened room with the rest of that bottle of whisky.

 

Hymn To Life

 

The hair falling on your forehead

suddenly lifted.

Suddenly something stirred on the ground.

The trees are whispering

in the dark.

Your bare arms will be cold.

 

Far off

where we can't see,

the moon must be rising.

It hasn't reached us yet,

slipping through the leaves

to light up your shoulder.

But I know

a wind comes up with the moon.

The trees are whispering.

Your bare arms will be cold.

 

From above,

from the branches lost in the dark,

something dropped at your feet.

You moved closer to me.

Under my hand your bare flesh is like the fuzzy skin of a fruit.

Neither a song of the heart nor "common sense"--

before the trees, birds, and insects,

my hand on my wife's flesh

is thinking.

Tonight my hand

can't read or write.

Neither loving nor unloving...

It's the tongue of a leopard at a spring,

a grape leaf,

a wolf's paw.

To move, breathe, eat, drink.

My hand is like a seed

splitting open underground.

Neither a song of the heart nor "common sense,"

neither loving nor unloving.

My hand thinking on my wife's flesh

is the hand of the first man.

Like a root that finds water underground,

it says to me:

"To eat, drink, cold, hot, struggle, smell, color--

not to live in order to die

but to die to live..."

 

And now

as red female hair blows across my face,

as something stirs on the ground,

as the trees whisper in the dark,

and as the moon rises far off

where we can't see,

my hand on my wife's flesh

before the trees, birds, and insects,

I want the right of life,

of the leopard at the spring, of the seed splitting open--

I want the right of the first man.

Australian Spotted Crake

Scientific Name: Porzana fluminea

Description: The adult Australian Spotted Crake is dark grey on its face, forehead, throat and chest. The crown of its head, the back of its neck and its upper parts are brownish olive, streaked black and finely spotted with white. Its lower flanks are black barred white, and the underside of its tail is white. It has an olive-green bill with an orange-red area at the bill's base. Its legs and feet are green to olive yellow. The female is similar to the male but duller with less contrast in its plumage colours. This bird is also known as the Australian, Spotted or Water Crake. The Australian Spotted Crake was first scientifically described by John Gould in 1843. The first part of its Latin name, Porzana, is a local (Venetian) name for the smaller crakes. Fluminea just means 'frequenting rivers'.

Similar species: Baillon's Crake, Porzana pusilla, is smaller but generally paler, with richer cinnamon-brown upper parts and a pale grey underbody. The underside of its tail is barred not white and it's call is quite different to that of the Australian Spotted Crake. The Spotless Crake, Porzana tabuensis, is also similar but it is darker and more uniform than the Australian Spotted Crake. The Spotless Crake also has barring on the underside of its tail and has pinkish or reddish legs. Again its call is quite different to the Australian Spotted Crake's. Lewin's Rail, Rallus pectoralis, can be distinguished from the Australian Spotted Crake by its reddish forehead and neck and its long, slender pinkish bill.

Distribution: The Australian Spotted Crake is mainly found in the south-east and the south-west of Australia. It is rare in Queensland. It is widespread in much of New South Wales away from the coast, in much of Victoria and in north-eastern South Australia. It is uncommon in Tasmania. In Western Australia it is found in the south-west and also in the Kimberleys. It is sparse or not found elsewhere in W.A. It is now probably common around Alice Springs also.

Habitat: The Australian Spotted Crake is found in the well-vegetated edges of wetlands, whether permanent or temporary, fresh or saltwater. It is usually found among dense growths of plants such as saltbush, reeds, rushes, mangroves, thick grass, or dense shrubs such as Bottle-brush (Callistemon) or Tea-tree (Melaleuca).

Seasonal movements: The Australian Spotted Crake does not appear to be a migratory species. They do appear in unusually large numbers at times, suddenly appearing and then departing. They can be abundant after heavy rains and floods.

Feeding: Australian Spotted Crakes eat seeds, molluscs, insects, crustaceans and spiders. They usually feed early or late in the day, on the ground. They forage on mudflats, and in reed beds. They will also wade in shallow water or swim probing underwater, oftening submerging their heads while doing this.

Breeding: Australian Spotted Crakes nest in swamps or lakes in a variety of vegetation types, such as rushes, grass, low shrubs and water-lilies. They may also nest on overhanging tree branches or on the ground. Nests are often in the centre of a clump of rushes. Some nests have a stage or track leading to them. Nests can vary from a flat, flimsy structure to a cup of fine, woven material, sometimes with a dome or with rushes interlaced over the nest. Nests are made of rushes or grass and lined with soft grass.

Calls: The Australian Spotted Crake most common call is a sharp, metallic double-note call. Other calls are a single-note call, descibed as querulous and given when the bird is disturbed from its nest; a chattering; and a prolonged wheezing note.

Minimum Size: 19cm

Maximum Size: 23cm

Average size: 21cm

Average weight: 60g

Breeding season: August - January, but late April recorded

Clutch Size: 3 - 6, usually 4 - 5

I've noticed that there is a lot of self portraits floating around here. 454 including this one...oh my gawd that's a lot. Even without doing the 365 thingy it would still be 119. I see you're impressed with my subracting skills. I didn't even need to use my toes to count.

 

Sorry I got distracted by Scrubs on telly. Now where was I? Oh yeah too many selfies.

 

Yeah there probably is. But then again I'm the only one around when I have a photo idea and it's much easier to tell myself what to do, it's almost like I know what I'm thinking :oP

 

Oh and yes I did have a shave and a hair cut :o)

Small, streaky antpitta found only in a small area of the eastern Andes in northern Peru. Note the strongly marked underparts and the white mustache. Male has a chestnut face and forehead; female lacks this and has a much thicker eye-ring. Inhabits the understory of epiphyte-laden cloud forest. Unlike most larger antpittas, it is usually seen on a low perch and only occasionally comes down to the ground.

A small duck with steep forehead, rounded head, and stubby bill. Male's colorful plumage appears dark from a distance. Female has three white spots on each side of head; belly is pale. Locally common along rocky coasts; moves inland along swift streams for nesting. Male's call is high-pitched nasal.

 

It was a pleasure to co-shoot with my friend and fellow photographer Rob Melone.

 

Nikon 500 mm f/4e lens, f/8, 1/1600s, ISO 640.

 

Thanks to all of you who fave or comment on the photograph!

Are you smacking your forehead for missing out on these truly spectacular roads by Luca Python of Blue Sky for FLF last week? Well, they are full price now at 990L.: but they are well worth it. As with everything he does, Luca has worked hard to give an impeccably textured and designed product for us to enjoy. Shown here are the cobblestone version of his roads (also available for 990L)_ Keep an eye out for more texture packs in the future, too! In the mean time, do yourself (and your sim) a favor and go pick these up!! ♥
