This old window was shot at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, USA. Pip is my grand dog and was added later. I love this old window and have used my cat ET at this window in the past.
Très proche parent des Pipit maritime et farlousane, ces trois espèces étaient encore récemment considérées comme une seule et même espèce.
En hiver, le Pipit spioncelle a le dessus uniformément brun et le dessous toujours blanc avec des marques noires sur les flancs et la poitrine. Sa gorge est blanche. Ses sourcils blanchâtres et ses pattes noires permettent son identification. Il ressemble au Pipit farlouse, mais s'en distingue par ses pattes noires et son plumage plus sombre. Il se différencie du Pipit maritime par ses rectrices externes blanches et non grises.
Dès le mois de mars, il commence à arborer son plumage nuptial caractéristique. En été, le Pipit spioncelle diffère des autres pipits par le dessus gris-brun et le dessous rosé clair à peu près sans taches. Il porte seulement des rayures sur les flancs. Sa tête et sa nuque gris cendré contrastent avec son dos brun. Il présente un net sourcil blanc, ainsi que des barres alaires blanchâtres.
En été le Pipit spioncelle se rencontre en montagne dans les alpages, au-dessus de la limite supérieure des arbres, jusque vers 2500-2700 mètres dans les Alpes. Il hiverne dans les terrains découverts à une altitude inférieure. On le rencontre alors dans les basses terres près des fleuves, rivières, ruisseaux, lacs, marais, étangs et prairies inondées, riches en végétation.
They are all looking thru the window like there is a pip show in there:-)
When the Starlings come they have big feast,
Monday was freezing here and the house from being soaking wet from all that rain it froze solid.
Thank you so much Tina for Pip's new wig <3
It's PERFECT! I've fallen in love with her all over again! (Not that I ever fell out of love with her).
I am so happy!!
Thank you very much for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Splendid Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus splendens
Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.
Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.
Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.
Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.
Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.
Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.
Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.
Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.
Minimum Size: 12cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 13cm
Average weight: 9g
Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April
Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3
Incubation: 15 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

I'm not sure if he scores a lot of points in originality, but I think he just looks really cool with the glowing orange and his goggles.

"Be alert. We need more lerts."
Sydney graffiti from decades ago.
Was in bright sun, so I can't see her eyes in this one but I still liked it.
Anyhoo, I'm just posting a couple tonight as I haven't been on for a few days.
If I'm behind in visits or returning visits to you, I'm sorry.
I'm on a self-retrieval mission lately.
I will catch up, soon as.
Fish dinner tonight - Enjoy your weekend :)
Pipit spioncelle (Anthus spinoletta)
Après avoir pris sont bain !
3 clichés à voir !
Le pipit spioncelle mesure environ 17 centimètres et a une envergure de 23 à 28 centimètres pour un poids d'environ 23 g. Il a un corps gris-brun avec des pattes noires. Il a le sourcil blanc ainsi que les rectrices externes. En période nuptiale, il a la poitrine légèrement rosé. Les deux sexes sont identiques. Les jeunes sont plus tachetés que les adultes.
En hiver, avec sa poitrine rayée, le pipit spioncelle ressemble au pipit farlouse mais il s'en distingue par les cris.
À la belle saison, il vit en altitude et à l'automne, il redescend en plaine au bord des lacs, étangs, marais et autres cours d'eau, ce qui lui donne son nom de Water Pipit chez nos amis Anglais !
