Scotch Argus Butterfly:
Despite its name, the Scotch Argus is not only found in Scotland; it is also found at two sites in the north of England. A freshly emerged Scotch Argus is a sight to behold; the dark brown velvety upper sides making the butterfly appear almost jet black from a distance. The butterfly is unmistakable when seen basking with its wings open, when orange bands containing distinctive spots are revealed. This butterfly lives in well-defined colonies that are often very large.
Like the Mountain Ringlet, the ability of this butterfly to survive cool temperatures means that it was probably one of the first species to recolonise the British Isles after the last ice age, over 10,000 years ago. The English colonies, Arnside Knott and Smardale Gill, are both found in Westmorland. Colonies are much more numerous in Scotland, where this butterfly can be found in most of northern, western and southwest Scotland. This butterfly is absent from the lowlands of central Scotland, many of the western isles (including the Outer Hebrides), Orkney and Shetland.

In the name of accountability, I feel I ought to reveal what I ate yesterday. Ready?
2 slices of cold pizza (chicken, mushrooms, olives and garlic butter) at the top of Tom Heights (recce)
Part of a Gregg's Cheese and Onion Bake (binned, vile)
1 packet of Doritos Cool Original
1 Peanut Chunky Kitkat
That saw me through to about 12 when I'd finished photographing Mary's Shell. Hmm, I can't really turn up to my sister's hungry...
1 quarterpounder with cheese
3 mozzarella bites
Sister's house:
Toffee Crisp
Then managed to make it all the way through to 5pm:
3 slices of garlic bread (goats cheese and caramelised onion 😍)
Chicken with a Diane sauce (the 80s called and want their sauce back)
Chocolate icecream rolled in meringue and hazelnuts.
-- The end --
This is what eating carbs does to me, I turn into a voracious bottomless pit 😂
I blame the Met Office.
Frostwick and Ill Bell from a bloody lovely Kentmere Round on Saturday!
A medium sized woodpecker named after its rufous color and found much across the country in deciduous forests. The birds apparently have a strong preference for Bamboo forests and the place I visited last week has plenty of them.
I had sighted this bird several times before in previous trips when it was hunting insects on the trees. They prefer termites and particularly Arboreal ants and larvae. The birds forage in pairs and are often seen together. One interesting thing is that the birds nest within the nests of Arboreal / Tree ants. We had seen so many of these arboreal nests in the forests - large brown muddy bulbous things on tree tops. I wasn't aware that these woodpeckers nest within them. I guess they have a ready supply of food for their chicks.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback - much appreciated.
The name Piz Gloria originated in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963), wherein the hideout of the villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, is a mountain-top building containing an allergies investigation clinic.

Named for because I've had George Harrison's song "Wah Wah" running through my head for days.....hahaha!!
It's my second given name, and I use it while travelling because everybody can pronounce it well.
It seems to be an very old name. According to the Christian Bible, the personal name Adam derives from the Hebrew noun adamah meaning "the ground" or "earth"
Scientific Name
Amaryllis belladonna
Type of plant
Bulbs or Corms
This South African bulb was originally introduced as a garden plant but has now escaped to bushland especially around older settlements in the South West Region. It was cultivated for its large fragrant pink flower held on tall stalks which shoot from the bare bulb in autumn. The leaves appear after the flowering has finished and the plant dies back in summer.
Named in honour of Lawrence’s book, this large rock formation, with seven fluted turrets, is easy to see from the road near the Wadi Rum visitor centre. If you fancy a closer look, a rewarding hike circumnavigates the mountain via Makharas Canyon.
Wadi Rum, a desert valley in Jordan, has played the part of Mars and distant planets in countless movies, including "The Martian," "Star Wars: Rogue One," "Prometheus," and Red Planet."
Name Anupama means beautiful; unique, unparalleled; without equal.

Pencarrow, whose name in Cornish means “head of the valley” or “high fort”, lies at the foot of a sweeping valley between Bodmin and Wadebridge in Cornwall. The largely Georgian mansion is still owned and occupied by descendants of the family who settled there in the 1500s.
Pencarrow’s gardens are a combination of formal landscaping and woodland walks. The gardens were designed and laid out between 1831-55 by Sir William Molesworth, together with his head gardener, Thomas Corbett. Much of their collection came from botanical explorers.
After the Snowdrop Sundays in February, Pencarrow’s floral season begins in March with a dazzling display of camellias and rhododendrons (more than 600 varieties in total) which bloom through the spring. Bluebells and Wild Garlic carpet the woods in May/June; the Memorial Garden provides a summer display, followed by hydrangeas and fuchsias into the autumn.
Named after the rich cinnamon color of the body, this is a resident bird in India, but migratory for short distances within the country though. They are also found outside of India.
The female is more shy of the pair and they are less seen compared to the males. The area has several males and females - the males are seen flying a lot, but the female tends to stay with the nest. I am sure there is a nest nearby - but since the reeds are pretty tall, its hard to get a sight of the chick. This is also one of the few shots I have of the female in flight.
Its preferred habitat is reed beds on the edges of shallow lakes, wet rice / paddy fields, swamps and marshy areas surrounded by reeds.
Thank you so much for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
I was bewitched by the friendly relationship between these two foals; in the next autumn they will be tamed and started their sporting profession. Only then will it be given a name,
by the Stud or from those who will buy them directly or at auctions.
Sono rimasto stregato dalla relazione amichevole tra questi due puledri; nel prossimo autunno saranno domati ed avviati alla loro professione sportiva. Solo allora gli sarà dato un nome dall'allevatore o da coloro che li acquisteranno direttamente o alle aste.

View from my street on the Ottawa River.
Vu de ma rue sur la Rivière des Outaouais.
Her name was Lottie. She just loved to be the first up to the top of the hill in the morning, out of the dark, to see the sunrise. Even if it meant standing around, waiting patiently, in the cloud or mist. Whilst the others slumbered or started to graze down below she would be waiting for the first hints of pink or orange to pierce the grey of dawn and warm her heart!.
Each time she left the warmth of where she had bedded for the night she would try to shake out her mane but the tangle was steadfast, irritating her. Even as she climbed the slopes she would try to tease it out on the spikey gorse and whin bushes or shake it out in the wind. But annoyingly it would not go. Just a few greying strands pulled out. Some little bird would find it in a month or two to line its nest with. Would the knot stay with her forever she wondered as she stood expectantly on her spot? Hmmm

Garden visitor.
Famed for their cunning and stealth, these orangey-red dogs with their bushy tails can be seen in towns and the countryside. They come out mostly at night but can also be seen during the day if you’re lucky! Info: Wildlife Trusts.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
Scientific name: Gallinago gallinago.
Snipe are medium sized, skulking wading birds with short legs and long straight bills. Both sexes are mottled brown above, with paler buff stripes on the back, dark streaks on the chest and pale under parts. They are widespread as a breeding species in the UK, with particularly high densities on northern uplands but lower numbers in southern lowlands (especially south west England). In winter, birds from northern Europe join resident birds.
The UK population of snipe has undergone moderate declines overall in the past twenty-five years, with particularly steep declines in lowland wet grassland, making it an Amber List species. Info: RSPB.

Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Grey-crowned Babbler
Scientific Name: Pomatostomus temporalis
Description: The Grey-crowned Babbler is the largest of Australia's four babbler species. It is dark brown-grey above, with a distinctive grey crown stripe and a dark face mask that contrasts with a white eyebrow. The chin and throat are white, running into a pale grey lower breast. It has a long, curved bill, short rounded wings with cinnamon brown wing patches and a long tail tipped white. The eye is pale yellow in adults. There is a darker-coloured subspecies, rubeculus, in north-western Australia (often called the Red-breasted Babbler), that has a rufous lower breast and darker crown stripe. The Grey-crowned Babbler is a noisy and gregarious bird, usually found in small groups of four to twelve, and is often seen on the ground or in low trees. It is sometimes called the Yahoo, after one of its calls.
Similar species: The Grey-crowned Babbler lacks the dark crown of other babblers and has a yellow rather than a dark eye.
Distribution: The Grey-crowned Babbler is widespread throughout north-western, northern, central and eastern Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea.
Habitat: The Grey-crowned Babbler is found in open forests and woodlands, favouring inland plains with an open shrub layer, little ground cover and plenty of fallen timber and leaf litter. May be seen along roadsides and around farms. In south-east Melbourne, small populations survive on golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: Grey-crowned Babblers feed on insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eat seeds. They forage in groups of two to fifteen birds on the ground among leaf litter, around fallen trees and from the bark of shrubs and trees (they tend to use trees more than other babblers).
Breeding: Grey-crowned Babblers live and breed in co-operative territorial groups of two to fifteen birds (usually four to twelve). Groups normally consist of a primary breeding pair along with several non-breeding birds (sometimes groups may contain two breeding pairs or two females that both breed). Most members of the group help to build nests, with the primary female contributing the most effort. Two types of nest are built: roost-nests (usually larger and used by the whole group) and brood-nests (for the breeding females), and often old nest sites are renovated and re-used from year to year. The large domed nests are placed in a tree fork 4 m - 7 m high and are made of thick sticks with projections that make a hood and landing platform for the entrance tunnel. The nest chamber is lined with soft grass, bark, wool and feathers. The brooding female (sometimes more than one) is fed by the other group members and all help to feed the nestlings. Larger groups tend to raise more young, and two broods are usually raised per season.
Calls: Loud scolding and chattering calls: 'wee-oo'. Also distinctive 'ya-hoo' duet by breeding female ('yah') and male ('ahoo') repeated six to eight times.
Minimum Size: 25cm
Maximum Size: 29cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 81g
Breeding season: July to February
Clutch Size: Usually two to three, up to five if more than one female.
Incubation: 23 days
Nestling Period: 23 days

"Tremella mesenterica (common names include yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, yellow trembler, and witches' butter) is a common jelly fungus in the Tremellaceae family of the Agaricomycotina. It is most frequently found on dead but attached and on recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus Peniophora. The gelatinous, orange-yellow fruit body of the fungus, which can grow up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) diameter, has a convoluted or lobed surface that is greasy or slimy when damp. It grows in crevices in bark, appearing during rainy weather. Within a few days after rain it dries into a thin film or shriveled mass capable of reviving after subsequent rain. This fungus occurs widely in deciduous and mixed forests and is widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions that include Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. Although considered bland and flavorless, the fungus is edible. Tremella mesenterica produces carbohydrates that are attracting research interest because of their various biological activities.
The fruit body has an irregular shape, and usually breaks through the bark of dead branches. It is up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) broad and 2.5 to 5.0 cm (1.0 to 2.0 in) high, rounded to variously lobed or brain-like in appearance. The fruit body is gelatin-like but tough when wet, and hard when dry. The surface is usually smooth, the lobes translucent, deep yellow or bright yellow-orange, fading to pale yellow, rarely unpigmented and white or colorless. The fruit bodies dry to a dark reddish or orange. The spores, viewed in mass, are whitish or pale yellow." - WiKi
"De gele trilzwam (Tremella mesenterica) is een trilzwam uit de familie Tremellaceae.
De gele trilzwam is het gehele jaar door, maar vooral in voorjaar en late herfst, te vinden op takken van loofbomen en struiken. De soort is algemeen in België en Nederland.
Het vruchtlichaam heeft een doorsnede van 1 tot 5 cm en is onregelmatig hersenachtig geplooid. Het komt tevoorschijn uit spleten in boomschors en is eerst geel en later bleekgeel gekleurd. In droge toestand verandert de substantie van geleiachtig tot kraakbeenachtig taai en ook donkerder van kleur." - WiKi
