A long distance migratory bird species from Europe / Parts of Asia and some of them winter in South East Asia / Parts of Australia. They are migrants in our region and seen in good numbers around March / April and when they are making their journey to their destinations.
The past couple of years we are not seeing them much, but the last winter maybe around 20 of them were seen in a lake just 20 mins from my place. During last winter there were huge flocks of other waders birds still around and the place is perfect for photography with the light exactly behind the photographer in the mornings. Another a couple of weeks almost all those waders disappeared - now there are only Stilts and cormorants in that place.
Thanks in advance for your views, likes and feedback - much appreciated.
Not often you see a Herring Gull getting the better of a Great Black-backed Gull. The GBBG had already pinched this off a Shag

Sometimes rustic and wonderful...
And just a note: I have been absent a lot. Sorry about that. Doesn´t mean that I don´t LOVE what you post...and your visits and words every now and then. That´s why I am here for...over almost 20 years. Yes, I know, it´s unbelievable. I am sure that some of you have been here even longer?
After the power went out I walked the neighborhood looking for the tree responsible. Don't know what I would have done... shake my fist at it? Branches were down everywhere! Mother nature is powerful.

De Place Masséna is een bouwproject uit de jaren 1830, toen Nizza niet tot Frankrijk behoorde. Bij de komst van de tram in 2007 is het plein geheel opnieuw ingericht. De menselijke figuren in boeddhahouding op hun hoge masten, 's avonds van binnenuit verlicht, zijn een werk van de Barcelonese kunstenaar Jaume Plensa.
De Place Masséna was het centrale knooppunt van het vroegere tramnet in Nice dat bestond tussen 1878 en 1953. De elektrische trams betrokken hun spanning in het centrum van ondergrondse stroomrails, opdat het jaarlijkse carnaval ongehinderd kon passeren. L'histoire se répète: ook de tegenwoordige trams doen het hier zonder bovenleiding. Zij overbruggen dit traject met behulp van accu's
Place Masséna is a building project from the 1830s, when Nizza was not part of France. The place was thoroughly renovated when the new tram line was built, opened in 2007. The buddha-esque human figures on their high poles, lit from inside at night, are a work of the Barcelonese artist Jaume Plensa.
Place Masséna was the central hub in Nice's former tramway network, existing from 1878 to 1953. Power supply for the electric trams was in the centre by conduit instead of overhead wires, to allow enough space to the yearly carnival parade. History repeats itself: contemporary trams also do without overhead wires at this place. Now they run on batteries here

Have a great Wednesday...and thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!
This year's Christmas lights in and around Wallingford's Market Place are entirely white, which I must say is rather disappointing. Thus, a black & white photograph seemed most appropriate especially as the colour version was almost identical.
Another angle from this special day long ago.
The Alaska Railroad "snow fleet" work train is arriving at Spencer with a Jordan Spreader, two geeps, and the ARR's sole depressed center flat car carrying a big Caterpillar excavator. Spencer is not accessible by road so all the ARR's heavy equipment must be transported in by company work train. Here the train is crossing over the glacier fed Placer River at MP 54 in the heart of the Chugach National Forrest. From John Comb's Alaskarails.org site:
Spreader 7 is known as the "winter spreader" and was built in the early 70s to replace spreader #5. Number 7 has a full length house along deck which makes it top heavy, so it rocks and rolls at critical speeds. After a roll-over derailment with the 3008 and the 1805 at MP 139 around 1994, it was rebuilt with four window cab sides from a GP40 and a propane heater replacing the oil fired stove which requires four tanks to be mounted on the sides.
The work train crew is heading south up toward the site of the massive slide near MP49 in the famous "loop district" that buried a northbound freight out of Seward nearly a week prior. The excavator with the custom designed snow bucket is on its way to continue the arduous task of extracting flat cars from a tomb of snow.
