Pärnu (Pernau) was founded by the Livonian Order, which began building an Ordensburg nearby in 1265. The latter town was a member of the Hanseatic League and an important ice-free harbour for Livonia. It had been in Swedish possession since the Livonian War in 1561 and experienced a period of cultural and economic prosperity.
Sweden lost Livonia to the Russian Empire in 1710 following the Great Northern War. It belonged to the Imperial Russian Governorate of Livonia until 1917 when it was transferred to the short-lived Autonomous Governorate of Estonia. The town became part of independent Estonia in 1918 following WWI and the Estonian War of Independence.
The city was occupied by the Soviet Red Army along with the rest of Estonia in 1940 during WW II. Pärnu continued as being part of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic from 1944 to 1991 when Estonia restored its independence.
In 1838, the first bathing establishment opened its doors in Pärnu. In the following decades, a green belt with numerous parks was created on the site of the former fortress ring. Little by little, the town developed into a health resort.
Villa Ammende is an example of early Art Nouveau. The building was designed and built by the architects F. Mieritz and J. Gerassimov from St. Petersburg. It was commissioned by the Ammende merchant family. The large villa was completed in 1905.
After WW I, the family went bankrupt and the villa was sold to the town of Pärnu. Over the years, the house has been home to a sanatorium, a casino and a club.
Today, the villa houses a luxurious hotel and restaurant. Too expensive for my budget.

These little buggers have been visiting my feeder regularly for the past couple weeks. They fly in from somewhere way in the distance and usually land directly on the feeder, grab a seed, and fly off somewhere far away. The only time they perch nearby is when there is a crowd of other birds at the feeder. They land for a few seconds to find an opening.

Physical characteristics
Unmistakable, mainly white with black forehead, crown to below eyes, nape and upper hindneck. At rest, shows three distinctive black bands on mantle and scapulars, lesser and median upperwing coverts, and outer 6 primaries, bill black and strongly upcurved, long legs, blue grey. Female tends to have shorter, more strongly curved bill. No seasonal variation. Juvenile similar to adult.
Habitat
Breeds in flat, open areas typically at shallow saline lades, lagoon, pools, and estuaries with sparse vegetation. Outside breeding season also frequents muddy tidal flats, infrequently found on fres hwater lakes and even rivers.
Other details
Recurvirostra avosetta is a widespread but patchily distributed breeder across much of Europe (except the far north), which accounts for less than half of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is relatively small (<57,000 pairs), but increased substantially between 1970-1990. Although several populations declined during 1990-2000, most key ones increased or were stable, and the species was stable overall. Improved knowledge of its winter distribution has shown that it no longer qualifies as Localised, and consequently it is now evaluated as Secure.
This wader inhabits sandy or muddy beaches bordering stretches of shallow water, either brackish or salt. It has a fragmented distribution in Eurasia, from the Iberian Peninsula, England and the southern parts of the Baltic Sea to Pakistan and China. It breeds also in northern, eastern and southern Africa. The birds of Western Europe are wintering along the Atlantic coast, from the British Isles to Ghana. Eastern populations winter in eastern Africa, from Egypt to South Africa. The population of the European Union is estimated at 23700 breeding pairs, which represents about 80% of the total European Population. Notwithstanding this species has considerably increased in some regions, including the Netherlands, it is adversely affected by habitat loss, tourism and pollution
Feeding
Carnivorous, taking great variety of mainly aquatic invertebrates, particularly aquatic insects, crustaceans, and worms, rarely fish and plant material. Most often feeds by picking or by tactile scything of bill through water or mud, sometimes feeds communally.
Breeding
Breeding in April to August in Eurasia. Nests in large colonies, but sometimnes in small numbers or even solitary. Nest is typically a grass lined scrape in open ground or amongst short vegetation. 3-4 eggs are laid incubated for 23-25 days, by both sexes. Downy young silver grey above grading to buff on sides of head, wing and sides of back, with small black spots on crown, two lines of larger parallel spots on back and spots on thighs. Age of first breeding 2-3 years.
Migration
Migratory in northern parts of breeding range, grading to dispersive in south; significantly larger numbers remain in North Sea countries in mild winters. Winters locally in Britain and in Netherlands; more typically from Mediterranean basin to southern Caspian, and south to African Sahel, Arabia, and India. Dispersal from breeding grounds begins second half July, and in August-September Swedish, Danish, German, and Dutch birds concentrate around Heligoland Bight and in Dutch delta region to moult. In most years, numbers decline sharply in October, due to emigration, though can still be several thousand present into November. Those wintering Britain and Ireland largely British-bred. Spring passage begins early, with departures from winter quarters from late February or early March. Return to breeding areas to some extent dependent on weather: in western Europe, vanguard may appear early to mid-March, with major return of adults in April.

Physical characteristics
Large, bold, long-tailed, often noisy thrush, with rather rakish form both on ground and in the air. Plumage more boldly variegated and richly colored than any other west Palearctic thrush, with blue-grey head, vinous-chestnut back, grey rump, and almost black tail obvious on ground, and heavily speckled breast and flanks, white vent, and black undertail obvious from below. Combination of grey rump, black tail, and white underwing diagnostic. Flight characteristically leisurely. Commonest call diagnostic. Sexes closely similar, little seasonal variation.
Habitat
Breeds in middle and higher latitudes of west Palearctic, in subarctic, boreal, and temperate zones, in woods of birch, pine, spruce, alder, and mixed species, usually in open growth or on fringes of moist areas with grass cover. Often along rivers or in groups of trees in fens or bogs, in sheltered but cool and humid situations.
Other details
Turdus pilaris is a widespread breeder in central and northern Europe, but winters across much of the continent, which constitutes >75% of its global wintering range. Insufficient information was available to assess the species's status using wintering population data, but its European breeding population is extremely large (>14,000,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970-1990. Breeding populations in most countries (including Russia) were stable or increased during 1990-2000, and the species probably remained stable overall.
This thrush inhabits a major part of Eurasia, from central Europe and Scandinavia to eastern Siberia. It is a species of the taiga, which has considerably extended its breeding area to the west, and colonised Iceland and Greenland. Inside the European Union it has colonised Belgium, the Netherlands and eastern France. Most birds are migratory and winter in western and southern Eur
Feeding
Wide range of invertebrates, also fruits from late summer to early winter. Feeds on ground and in trees and bushes. When collecting food for young, adult usually eats small items itself, will collect items in a pile before carrying them off.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km². It has a large global population, including an estimated 28,000,000-48,000,000 individuals in Europe (BirdLife International in prep.). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Breeds late Apr to late June in Scandinavia, May-June in Lapland. Nest site is in tree, placed in crotch of branch against trunk, or on side branch, exceptionally on ground or in depression anmong rock. Nest, bulky though compact structure with outer parts of grass reinforced with twigs, roots, etc, lined with thick layer of mud, and inner lining of fine grasses and a few roots. 5-6 eggs, incubation 10-13 days, by female only.
Migration
Migratory, though in some years of winter abundance of food some resident or move only short distances. Winters mainly in western, central, and southern Europe, Turkey, and Iran, also south to Canary Islands and Persian Gulf states. Usually reaches southernmost parts of Europe only in bad winters and rarely occurs on North African coast in good numbers. Birds flock prior to departure, becoming increasingly restless and making local movements. Spring passage generally more visible than in autumn with some impressive continual movements of birds often totalling several thousand passing along lines of hills or valleys in a matter of hours. Sudden movements of large numbers as a consequence of severe weather are commonplace across the entire wintering range. Individuals do not necessarily return to same area in successive winters with some subsequently recovered in winter up to 1600 km distant. Southward migration begins late September or early October and continues into November. Return often begins early, birds wintering in south-central Europe making partial return movements in February. Main arrivals in Norway from mid-April and in Sweden and Finland from late April.
Saint Dominic stands wearing a monk's robe and short haircut, holding an open book of scriptures with his proper left hand. His proper right arm is raised with index finger pointing to the sky. A dog lays at his feet on the proper right side. The sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base. The sculpture is situated on a circular path of small white pebbles in a grove setting.
The sculpture was installed at some point after the Order of the Dominican Sisters was founded in 1881 and before Caldwell College was founded in 1939. The dog at St. Dominic's feet symbolizes the preaching of the gospel throughout the world. The sculpture is power washed yearly.

This is a photograph from the 5th annual Clongowes 5KM road race and fun run which was held at Clongowes Wood College, Clane, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 20th March 2016 at 11:00. The race is held annually as a fundraiser in aid of Clane Athletic Club and the Order of Malta International Camp and Lourdes fund. The weather was very good for road running. A cold dry crisp spring morning with clear skies and little wind. The race starts within the grounds of Clongowes Wood College at the Gold Course Side. The race proceeds out the golf course exit onto the Clane Kilcock road (the R407) and heads towards Kilcock. At the next junction (Borehole Cross) the course then takes a left and heads towards Prosperous village on the R408 known locally as 'the straight road'. About 1KM after the turn the course turns left in Ballynaboley and makes its way along a small boreen road which brings runners to join up again with the Clane Kilcock road. The race then runs right towards Clane and soon the runners see the famous landmark of the gates of the entrance to Clongowes Wood College. There is about a 400m straight stretch down the avenue to the finish as runners look down the straight avenue to the finish and the backdrop of the historic college buildings. Overall the course is flat and fast with a small incline over the first 2KM before the race turns off the Clane-Kilcock road.
The race is supported by Clane Athletic Club which is one of Ireland's newest athletic clubs. The club was reformed in 2012 with the principal aim of promoting athletics for all ages in the village of Clane and surrounding areas.
The grounds of the college provide a historically significant backdrop to the race. The school can trace its history back to a large estate owned by a local family in the 1400s. The estate became a school in the 1800s. While Clongowes is well known in the educational domain it is also well known for its strong history in schools rugby union. Today Clongowes Wood college is a voluntary secondary boarding school for boys.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
