The intermediate egret, median egret, smaller egret, or yellow-billed egret is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia.

There were plans to connect Kayseri directly to the SE via Kahramanmaraş. In 1948 a short part was realized from Köprüağzı, a station on the mainline Malatya - Adana.

This was the only place to find TCDD class 34.06. The design is based on the German BR24.

Quit a long train for such a branch line, with no intermediate stations! The trains connected to the mainline schedules, in theory. In the seventies Schürzewagen and Hechtwagen were still common on all kinds of passenger trains.

Flight series - a bit of fun.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

....from a visit to Buckley's Hole. Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.

Coal Empties for Martin make their journey down the Big Sandy, splitting the 7.5 intermediates before approaching WD Cabin

This is the first build I've posted, inspired by the wonderful MOCs of Aleksander Stein, Corvin Stichert, Simon T. James, and too many others to count. Thanks for any comments.

Similar in appearance to the Rheinmetall Defence Wiesel 1 & Wiesel 2, and intermediate in size between the two, the Wiesel III is in fact an all-new vehicle. Developed for the forces of the "Union" states of the rump United States of America, which kept their military resources under federal control following the secession of the California Republic in 2018, the Wiesel III features a more powerful engine and enhanced survivability (including extensive use of AMAP modular armor), but remains internally transportable by larger transport helicopters. Pictured is a baseline Wiesel in a reconnaissance configuration, armed only with a pintle-mounted MG3 machine gun (a non-standard weapon for Union forces, but being trialed on these vehicles).

Second-largest of the egrets, working the edge of a lagoon in the Minnippi Wetland. I had originally ID'd as Great, but I think I can see breast plumes as well as those on the back.

Widespread resident. Smaller than the Great Egret, with shorter bill and neck. Black gape line does not extend beyond eye as in the Great. Bill is black and lores yellow green during courtship. (Bill black-tipped yellow and lores yellow in non-breeding adult). Usually in small flocks, but separate while foraging. Hunts chiefly by slow stalking.

Compare with the Cattle Egret, which is a little smaller than this egret.

Our final project in Intermediate Photography was to alter the print. The idea behind this is that images can just be shared online, but an altered print really has to be experienced in person. Naturally, I chose to go nuts with the LEGO stuff again. My idea was to go for some illusions after the print had been altered.
