Le Martin-pêcheur d'Europe (Alcedo atthis) (Kingfisher) est une espèce d'oiseau, espèce type de la famille des Alcedinidae.
Cet oiseau est un bon indicateur naturel de la qualité d'un milieu aquatique.
C'est un oiseau qui se nourrit de petits poissons et de petits animaux aquatiques. C'est pourquoi il vit à proximité des étendues d'eau, où il peut se nourrir en abondance. Sa proie repérée, généralement depuis un perchoir, il plonge en percutant violemment la surface de l'eau, l'attrape, puis l'avale tête la première dans le sens des écailles.
L'oiseau, très vivace, parcourt un circuit sur son territoire en se posant sur des perchoirs qu'il connaît, bien disposés pour guetter ses proies.
Si sa position est assez haute, il plonge en flèche directement.

The kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) is a species of bird, a type species of the family Alcedinidae.
This bird is a good natural indicator of the quality of an aquatic environment.
It is a bird that feeds on small fish and small aquatic animals. This is why he lives near bodies of water, where he can eat in abundance. His prey spotted, usually from a perch, he dives violently striking the surface of the water, catches it, then swallows head first in the direction of the scales.
The bird, very vivacious, runs a circuit on its territory by landing on perches he knows, well prepared to watch his prey.
If his position is high enough, he dive directly.
Wikipedia: The red-wattled lapwing (Vanellus indicus) is an Asian lapwing or large plover, a wader in the family Charadriidae. Like other lapwings they are ground birds that are incapable of perching. Their characteristic loud alarm calls are indicators of human or animal movements and the sounds have been variously rendered as did he do it or pity to do it leading to the colloquial name of did-he-do-it bird. Usually seen in pairs or small groups and usually not far from water they sometimes form large aggregations in the non-breeding season (winter). They nest in a ground scrape laying three to four camouflaged eggs. Adults near the nest fly around, diving at potential predators while calling noisily. The cryptically patterned chicks hatch and immediately follow their parents to feed, hiding by lying low on the ground or in the grass when threatened.

It needs only a few days of warm and sunny weather and another one of my favourite flowers is popp(y)ing up!

Have a happy weekend!
For Macro Mondays theme 'Planes,Trains and Automobiles' The indicator has 'flashed' and the bulb filament is fading, ready for the next 'flash'.

Georges Pond is part of Demarest Lloyd state park in South Dartmouth, an area of MA that gets little traffic. But the nature here is quite breathtaking. This panoramic was captured with my phone because my Canon 24-70mm F2.8 lens started to malfunction (Err 01, an indicator of expensive repair, unfortunately).
Utah Transit Authority installed GCI signals for train operators in quiet zones. The signal flashes on and off as the gates are dropping or rising, and display a solid lunar indication when they have dropped and the crossing is secure.
Union Pacific did not install them, but UTA's GCIs are activated in locations where UP's Provo, Lynndyl, and Salt Lake subdivisions parallel the UTA's commuter rail track. Here a Grand Junction to Salt Lake City OCS crosses 7th West in Provo, Utah on August 28, 2025.

Today a pole established our region of Otago as one of the most friendly places on Earth from visitor ratings. Perth in Scotland was number 1 and Taiwan, Brazil, USA and others also featured.
So I'm hoping for more comments than I can poke a stick at :)
Wandering in the streams of information and time, you always need to remember the main thing, about orientation. And light has always been and remains the main indicator for orientation. So be it, I'll do without quotes today :))) An excellent pack of Bromexpress-1 paper (1989) caused immersion in a dark room. Partial tinting with thiourea. Have a good mood and correct orientation for everyone :)))
The Alligator Song
Everybody's getting cancer
At a geometrical rate
Maybe it's something you drank or breathed
Maybe it's something you ate
Perhaps this doesn't concern you
Hey, we've all gotta go sometime
But maybe I can tell you something
To make you change your mind
(Chorus)
The alligator dicks are shriveling up
Soon they'll all be through
Yeah, the alligator dicks are shrinking fast
And it will happen to you
It will happen to you, boys
the alligator dicks are shriveling up
and it will happen to you
They're an indicator species
Like canaries in the mine
They're the first to kick the bucket
When things might otherwise seem fine
So let's be frank and honest
As the situation begs
Boys, what are you gonna do
About that thing between your legs
(Chorus)
I'm not beating around the bush
I'm making you a promise
Say goodbye to Long Dong Silver
Hello to Tiny Thomas
You can forget about Viagra
Boys, what I mean is
It's all a matter of minutiae
When you've got a half-inch penis
(Chorus)
PCBs in the water
Pesticides in the ground
Radiation in the wind
There's poison all around
So if you care about your love life
And that good old whoop-dee-doo
We've got to stop pollution, boys
That's what i'm telling you
(Chorus)

30 December 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Fewer people are testing positive for the coronavirus, while hospitalisations and deaths too are down. In the week to 26 December on average 1,801 people a day tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The figure is down 28% on the week. The reproduction rate, is now 0.92. Virologists, however, are warning that any impact from family gatherings and vacationers will only be seen in the figures in January. Especially the latter is a cause for concern. To avoid that we are reliving the situation we experienced in March when Belgians came back infected from their vacations, which accelerated the spread of the virus in our country, virologists are arguing for additional measures for travelers and tighter checks at airports, train stations and on the roads. I still don’t understand why people want to travel abroad whilst Belgium has one of the lowest infection rates in Europe. Today’s picture is a proof that during this festive period there is a lot to explore in our own country – Castle of the Counts, Ghent, Belgium.
