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
Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

Snow Bunting - Plectrophenax Nivalis
Snow buntings are large buntings, with striking 'snowy' plumages. Males in summer have all white heads and underparts contrasting with a black mantle and wing tips. Females are a more mottled above. In autumn and winter birds develop a sandy/buff wash to their plumage and males have more mottled upperparts.
Globally, they breed around the arctic from Scandinavia to Alaska, Canada and Greenland and migrate south in winter. They are a scarce breeding species in the UK, in Scotland, making them an Amber List species. They are more widespread in winter in the north and east when residents are joined by continental birds.
They are listed under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act.
The snow bunting lives in very high latitudes in the Arctic tundra. There is no apparent limit to its northern range, while the southern range is limited by the duration of daylight, which influences their reproductive activity. This species is found in the high Arctic tundra of North America, Ellesmere Island, Iceland, higher mountains of Scotland, Norway, Russia, North Greenland, Siberia, Novaya Zemlya, and Franz Josef Land. During the winter, this bird migrates to the circumglobal northern temperate zone including the south of Canada, north of the United States, north of Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and east to central Asia. During the last ice age, the snow bunting was widespread throughout continental Europe.
During the breeding period the snow bunting looks for rocky habitats in the Arctic Since the vegetation in the tundra is low growing, this bird and its nestlings are exposed to predators, and in order to ensure the survival of its offspring, the snow bunting nests in cavities in order to protect the nestlings from any threat. During this period, buntings also look for a habitat rich in vegetation such as wet sedge meadows and areas rich in dryas and lichens. In the winter, they look for open habitats such as farms and fields where they feed on seeds in the ground.
Population:
UK breeding:
60 pairs
UK wintering:
10,000-15,000 birds
Captured here is the walkway that separates the old part of Tursi called the La Rabatana from the newer lower part and what needed to be surmounted before I could have the best wood fired pizza in the city. I truthfully thought about secondary plans after I spent some time taking pictures in the area staring up the steep incline but after I snapped this a 90 year old Nonna stepped on to the stairs and began her climb slow steady up to the top with her pull behind cart trailing her.
La Rabatana is a impressive jumble of houses built with stones and bricks with an Arabic influence an inheritance of the Saracens who settled there in 850 BC and the first populated area of what is now known as Tursi. Surrounding the Rabatana are deep ravines cut from clay making its defensive position a hard one to crack but the Byzantines did so in 890 AD ending the Saracen presence in the area but not their influences on local language, food and culture.
Tursi is the city of Albino Pierro, the most famous son of Tursi a poet repeatedly nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature for his poems written in native Lucanian dialect and subject of a literary park set in his homestead. "That of Tursi, my town in the province of Matera, / was one of the many talks destined to disappear. / I had to look for the way to fix the sounds of my people on paper".
I took this on Oct 3rd, 2018 with my D750 and Nikon 16-35mm f4.0 Lens at 35mm 1.6s f`16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO

So I've seen and purchased Arcback Jeans at a couple of events. I think they were at TMD each time, I'm not sure. However, I have to tell you. I am hooked on them. I'm not an advertising blogger, not yet anway, so you know this comes directly from me without influence. This last round at TMD I bought the fatpack.

46115 'Scots Guardsman' crosses the river Tweed heading the 1Z18 06:00 York to Edinburgh Railway Touring Company charter on Saturday 10th December 2022. The presence of scaffolding on both sides of the Grade I-listed Royal Border Bridge bridge influenced my decision to head for the 'dark side' alongside the frosty bank of the river.

Nuuk has a maritime-influenced tundra climate (Köppen ET) with cold, long, snowy winters and cool, short summers. Although the winters in Nuuk are relatively cold, they are milder compared to other tundra climates, such as in Alaska in the United States or parts of Eastern Siberia. On 21 December, the shortest day and longest night of the year, the sun rises at 10:30 am and sets at 2:20 pm. By contrast, on the longest day and shortest night of the year, 21 June, the sun rises at 2:54 am and does not set until 12:04 am, giving a quasi-Midnight Sun
"Color is a power which directly influences the soul."
"Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."

Day 20 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes.
Behind the Sun - Chicane
Usually, we hear music in the operating room during surgery. It has been proved that music at the optimal volume can enhance performance during surgery.
When I was a resident (early 2000) I remember that I listened for the first time the chill-out music subgenre. It was so cool. One day I was listening to a Ministry of Sound chill out compilation and a particular song stood out, it was No Ordinary Morning by an until then unknown artist, Chicane. I love the mood, the rhythm, the music. After that, I looked up for his music, and I wasn't disappointed, Their first two albums were amazing, a combination of electronic beats, combined with ambient and trance, some with beautiful voices. I recommend you that you listen some of his music.
