So lovely to see and hear Cranes on the Somerset Levels during the summer months. I normally stay well away from any potential breeding areas but I saw these two recently in a public area and there is no sign of a young one so tonight I thought that I would sit and watch them for a while. It was lovely to watch them picking off insects and calling to other Cranes nearby.
Both these cranes were born in 2013

High-Level Conference European Platform on Combatting Homelessness. One of the main priorities of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU is to strengthen the social component of the European Union, aiming at a Union of Equality. For this purpose, it is essential to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, which includes the launching of the European Platform on Combatting Homelessness. This Platform aims to promote a political dialogue on combating homelessness in order to establish common understanding, commitment and concrete progress in Member States on fighting homelessness.

Let's send out our thanks to all the corporate liability attorneys we meet for keeping us safe with warnings like these. The German company that made my pacemaker didn't even bother to mention the potential danger from bubble levels.

Comment: Botrychium virginianum is a widely distributed fern. It is most common in North America and much rarer in Europe and Asia, where it appears only in scattered, small disjunct regions. In the Alps it is present only in their eastern part. In Slovenia it is a rare plant. Its taxonomy is still 'under construction'. Some experts distinguish two taxa: Botrychium virginianum var. virginianum growing in America and Botrychium virginianum var. (or ssp.) europaeum growing in Europe. Based on DNA research some claim it is a monophyletic species belonging to separate genus Botrypus. Actually it differs from other members of the genus Botrychium in several traits including number of chromosomes. Be it as it may, the plant is very old (more than 100 million years), existing even before other ferns had develop their spore producing organs (sporangia that are usually clustered to form sori) on the underside of their leaves (sporophyll fronds). Botrychium virginianum has its sporangia on separate vertical 'leaf', which is much different than its sterile leaf. Spores are distributed by the wind, so no insects are needed for proliferation. Hence the plant is green, displaying no vivid colors to attract them and us. Hence it is hard to find.
Nevertheless, it is always a happy experience to come across this plant, partly because it is rare and partly because it usually grows in dark, secluded, mysterious thickets on rarely accessed places. Eight plants have been found this time, two of them were sterile.
Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "R" representing a rare species.

Having just crossed over the Hereward Trail, Adtranz 'Turbostar' unit 170 203 takes the switchback route across the 'Bedford Level' and on towards Manea and Peterborough on Saturday 26th January 2013. Two swans, rather conveniently, fly across towards the River Ouse.
