not sure who took this photo - we've been swapping cameras a lot that day :)
REDSHANKS favor areas of undisturbed damp grassland, moors, and the margins of marshes. Utters a yelping tiu-uu alarm call, the song is musical and yodeling. Always a pure delight to capture these.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, do so hope you are all well, enjoy the weekend, even if it's gone back a bit wintery again in Kent UK, God bless...............................................Tomx
A large bristly fly that can be brown or black with orange that can often be found in woodland margins and meadows and can be seen on the wing from May to September. These flies will lay their eggs on or near their host which is normally a moth and when the eggs hatch the larvae will then penetrate into the host in which to feed. Common over much of Britain and Ireland.
Norfolk Hawker - Anaciaeschna isoceles (M)
Habitat
The optimum conditions for breeding appear to be unspoilt grazing marsh dyke systems with clean, non-saline water, rushy margins, preferably with an abundance of water soldier as well as other aquatic plants.
Threats
Conversion of grazing marsh to arable farming.
Inappropriate ditch management.
Nutrients enrichment.
Pollution.
The impact of global climate change and fluctuations in water levels.
Status & Distribution
The Norfolk Hawker is currently restricted to the fens and grazing marshes that are relatively isolated from polluted water in the Broadlands of Norfolk and Northeast Suffolk. A Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) for the Norfolk Hawker has been drafted for Norfolk.
Similar Species

Brown wings.
Blue-brown eyes.
Blue and yellow markings.
Management
Norfolk Hawker Management Profile
General management principles include maintaining grazing marshes, controlling saline intrusion, controlling nutrient enrichment. There are also best practice guidelines for managing inhabited sites, particularly the dyke vegetation and the surrounding terrestrial habitats.
Case Study
Work is underway to restore habitats for this species in Norfolk.
Il cardo zampa d'orso è un'alta erba nitrofile che si osserva nelle radure e ai margini delle peccete e delle faggete del Piano montano. Una sua caratteristica morfologica è quella di avere i capolini fiorali rivolti verso il basso e questa stessa sembra essere assai gradita dai bombi che ne sono pronubi. Ecco la ragione di questa singolare incurvatura dello stelo che regge il fiore e di questa elegante simmetria ..... ..
Passeggiando ai margini del bosco nelle ore del pomeriggio dei primi giorni di novembre, si può cogliere la scenografia creata dalla luce radente. Il sole si inabissa all'orizzonte di ponente verso la metà del pomeriggio e la luce filtra attraverso gli alberi di margine, creando scie di luce del tutto speciali. Momenti magici, che sono uno dei tanti doni dell'autunno ..... ..
All'inizio dell'inverno certi scenari della laguna di margine sembrano incolori. Sembra quasi che la luce solare, di cui sono orfani, si sia eclissata rubando i colori che rendono viva e traboccante di vita la stessa laguna. Osservando bene, tuttavia, si colgono in queste situazioni di paesaggio seducenti sfumature. Aliti lievi di grigio, di bruno e d'azzurro, coniugati a formare tavolozze di struggente fascino ..... ..

Al margine del bosco le fioriture erbacee sono abbondanti anche nel cuore siccitoso dell'estate. E' pertanto qui che si danno convegno i pronubi con intensità maggiore. Tra questi numerose piccole farfalle, tra cui questa graziosa licenide, il cui nome scientifico è Polyommatus thersites. Una farfalla, piccola e delicata, ma tenacemente impegnata ad interpretare il proprio, prezioso ruolo ecologico di pronubo ..... ..

I can't add much to the title -- an orange rose with pink edges on the petals.
Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
Hopefully I have identified this correctly - butterflies are not my specialty but when I was researching it, that one looked the closest.
I took this photo on my hike at Granite Creek last weekend. The butterfly was very kind to pose on the fern long enough for me to get my camera out since I was standing on a rock in the middle of a stream crossing!

Saw these bunch of guys crouching at the very edge of the breakwater base, frantically trying to beat darkness and catch some fish in the murky waters of Manila Bay. Food on the table for that evening, perhaps? Talk about being at the very margin of survival. At this point, I thought of how lucky we were. I will count my blessings..
Feeling a bit better. Thanks for your understanding. Wish you all well. - Mario

Il margine del bosco è un habitat speciale. E' la periferia del consorzio forestale, dove la luce accende la competizione tra le piante e dove si affollano a decine e decine gli organismi legati ai fiori e agli arbusti che fioriscono e fruttificano proprio grazie alla carezza della luce. Persino l'autunno rifulge con colori diversi e più smaglianti, sul margine del bosco. Perché l'autunno è, appunto, una festa di luce ..... ..
On winter’s margin, see the small birds now with half-forged memories come flocking home to gardens famous for their charity.
The green globe’s broken; vines like tangled veins hang at the entrance to the silent wood.
With half a loaf, I am the prince of crumbs;
By snow’s down, the birds amassed will sing like children for their sire to walk abroad!
But what I love, is the gray stubborn hawk who floats alone beyond the frozen vines;
And what I dream of are the patient deer who stand on legs like reeds and drink that wind; -
They are what saves the world: who choose to grow thin to a starting point beyond this squalor. - Mary Oliver

This margined calligrapher is a miniature fly, feeding here on the pollen from a bloodroot blossom. Those delightful decorations on its abdomen look like they've been drawn on by a calligrapher. That black spot at the back is diagnostic for this species. Females have a space between their eyes at the top - males eyes would touch. Their larvae eat harmful plant pests like aphids and thrips.
Al margine del centro storico del piccolo comune di Galatina si trova la Basilica di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. L'edificio ha un valore inestimabile dal punto di vista pittorico e architettonico e viene addirittura soprannominata la "Cappella Sistina del Salento".
On the edge of the historic center of the small town of Galatina is the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. The building has an invaluable value from a pictorial and architectural point of view and is even nicknamed the "Sistine Chapel of Salento".

The rusty-margined flycatcher (Myiozetetes cayanensis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers.
It is found in northern and central South America in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela; also eastern Panama. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest. The Rusty-margined Flycatcher is found at forest edge and in woody second growth.
The Rusty-margined Flycatcher is found at the forest edge and in woody second growth. The bird is considered IUCN Least Concern.
More retiring and less vocal than the Social Flycatcher, the Rusty-margined Flycatcher often perches in open areas hawking insects or sallying to the ground to forage. The seasonal movements of the Rusty-margined Flycatcher are not well known, but some relative abundance of some in northern Sound America is reported to fluctuate seasonally. - from Wikipedia.
A few days ago I posted a black blister beetle photo, and that species was solid black. This margined blister beetle has a light gray margin around its elytra. Both blister beetle species lay their eggs near grasshopper egg pods and the larvae eat the grasshopper eggs upon hatching. Margined blister beetle larvae spend the winter frozen in the soil before thawing out in springtime when they pupate and then emerge as adults now when grasshopper eggs are abundant in the soil. This margined blister beetle would be bad news to bother and pick up as your skin would quickly be burned by a potent fluid filled with chemicals that cause blisters. This hungry adult is likely hoping to finds some virgin's bower flowers to feed on.
