Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus

Norfolk

Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.

The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.

Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Thanks you very much for your visit, comments and faves. Cheers.

* I made my annual pilgrimage to RSPB Bempton on Wednesday evening . It was unusual weather on the cliffs, warm and still instead of the usual chilly East wind . It obviously effected the birds the Gannets in particularly were flying much lower down the cliffs instead of being at eye level. It made flight shots much more difficult . I have to say I was not too concerned about getting too many images . I still have a lot of photos from Bempton in the archives from 2018, 2019 and 2020

This is one of the few I did take as I was using a long lens 500 mm I could not get it wide enough to catch all the Gannets wing . Stepping back to get a wider view would have been difficult Still I am quite happy with the result.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

Hi friends,

thanks so much for your kind visit and support!

I'm very involved in private life actually, that's the reason why I'm not very present here on flickr, at the same time I have a big lack of inspiration because my head is too full with other things...

I continue to admire your beautiful photos whenever I have a little moment, but sorry that I don't have enough time to comment as I would like to do...

Hope you all are doing well, in any case take care and stay safe please!!

😘😘😘

MY STYLE CARD

Hoy hace tres años que falleció mi padre.

Desde entonces muchos de mis amigos de flickr han tenido que sufrir ese insoportable dolor que produce el perder a un ser querido. Ellos me apoyaron en su momento y yo solo puedo dar las gracias porque jamás pensé que un portal diseñado para compartir fotografías me fuera a generar tan buenas amistades.

Mayo maldito y cruel que se lleva con el cambio de estación a los más débiles, ofreciéndonos sin embargo un estallido de color y vida en nuestro entorno. Sirva mi propia experiencia para arropar a los que tenéis tan reciente esa pena, ya que la esperanza de que están en un sitio mejor te reconforta.

Con esta imagen quiero hoy recordar a todos los que nos dejaron. Con ella conseguí un premio, así que de alguna manera les brindo lo mejor que tengo. Cuando se la enseñe privadamente a un pequeño grupo de amigos, Jose Francisco Girona. me dijo: "Esas historias ... unas que empiezan y otras que acaban", y tenia razón.

Recordemos a los que nos dejaron por todo el cariño que fueron capaces de darnos mientras nos acompañaban en el transcurso de nuestra vida, agradezcamos los valores rectos y honestos que nos enseñaron, y por favor!! no les decepcionemos por no intentar hacer lo mismo con aquellos que nos siguen en la fila...

Un beso papá

I don't see these as much as I use to

Found predominantly in the tropics and subtropics stick insects thrive in forests and grasslands, where they feed on leaves. Mainly nocturnal creatures, they spend much of their day motionless, hidden under plants.

Many stick insects feign death to thwart predators, and some will shed the occasional limb to escape an enemy’s grasp. Others swipe at predators with their spine-covered legs, while one North American species, Anisomorpha buprestoides, emits a putrid-smelling fluid.

Little is known about stick insects, making it difficult to declare the vulnerability of their status in the wild. The pet trade presents a potential threat, along with the popular practice of framing their carcasses, like butterflies.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

So much space, mile after mile after mile, of fields and skies and crops. Where you can go for miles and not see another vehicle. This is South Dakota, but it's not the only state that is so wide open.

Due to personal misalignments I wasn't and will still not be able to be here much in the next weeks/months.I have no intention to completely give up on Flickr but I expect my presence here to be very intermittent so I will totally understand if you will choose to be less active on my account. Still hope you will keep me in your contacts as I will eventually be back in a more sustainable manner.

For now all I can do is say thank you so much for your friendship and support that mean a lot to me and wish you a wonderful Summer!

Muchos y variados fueron

estos dioses mitológicos,

mitad marinos, mitad terrestres,

que con cabeza de perro

y cuerpo de reptil

eran expertos demonios

que pacientemente esperan

destruir a cualquier incauto

que a su lado se acerca.

¡Y qué hacen, pues, aquí

en una playa tranquila,

descansando y vigilantes,

y escondiendo en su barriga

multitud de cavidades!

Tal vez ahí ellos guarden

sus malas artes y hechizos,

mas Zeus como castigo

rocas les hizo ser.

Claude Debussy - La siesta del fauno (Nijinsky).

Thank you for viewing and commenting, very much appreciated.

Ama. Si no puedes amar mucho, no enseñes a niños.

2. Simplifica. Saber es simplificar sin quitar esencia.

3. Insiste. Repite como la naturaleza repite las especies hasta alcanzar la perfección.

4. Enseña con intención de hermosura, porque la hermosura es madre.

5. Maestro, sé fervoroso. Para encender lámparas basta llevar fuego en el corazón.

6. Vivifica tu clase. Cada lección ha de ser viva como un ser.

7. Acuérdate de que tu oficio no es mercancía sino oficio divino.

8. Acuérdate. Para dar hay que tener mucho.

9. Antes de dictar tu lección cotidiana mira a tu corazón y ve si está puro.

10. Piensa en que Dios se ha puesto a crear el mundo de mañana.

Even though it was overcast and dark it came out okay.
