to a New Year! Wishing everyone a Peaceful and Blessed New Year. I'll be away for a while.

 

Rose-faced parrot - Pyrilia pulchra - This species is endemic to the Chocó bioregion of western Colombia and western Ecuador, where it is an inhabitant of reasonably tall forest, plantations, and second growth, usually below 1200 m, although it ranges higher locally. The Rose-faced Parrot was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Brown-hooded Parrot (Pyrilia haematotis), from which the present species differs most clearly in the large pinky-red facial patch, outlined with darker feathers, and the lack of red feathering on the flanks and axillaries. Although considered to be generally uncommon, the species is capable of adapting to some degree of habitat modification. Like all of the genus Pyrilia, this species was until recently placed in the genus Pionopsitta.

 

One of the most beautiful birds of Ecuador. Wishing everyone a Peaceful bokeh Wednesday!

The new Professor found her barings and settled into School nicely. There were a few things still left to do before the term started officially next week, and many things to consider as she settled into her new role. For now, she pulled out a book - there was material to review.

Dentdale, which I think is one of the prettiest of the dales, is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Prior to the boundary changes of 1974 it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Now it is within the administrative boundaries of Cumbria. The dale is named after its main settlement - the village of Dent - rather than the river (the River Dee) than runs through it. Dentdale is at the western end of the National Park. The dale's steep-sided valley contrasts beautiful flower-filled meadows and lush riverside pastures with the sparser grassy upland of the fells.

   

‘Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You’re most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper’s Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds).’

Happy Caturday :-)

Shot with a Steinheil "V-Cassarit 50 mm F 3.5" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.

White-crowned sparrow ponders taking off, checking landing gear one at a time.

This belted kingfisher had almost reached its destination branch and was applying the air brakes.

Looking out our sunroom window I was hoping to catch one of the Bluebirds perched in this tree, which is more and more becoming a familiar sight.

 

The other day I saw the female bringing back several earthworms to her hungry babies and thought that was simply amazing to see. I never expected to catch her bringing home this feast!

 

Took about a dozen pics and this was one the best because you can actually see what this is. A cicada!

Time to take off! Thanks for the visit and your comments!

 

There are not many groups that I have found to display Wombo works, so I have created one. Please be patient with me, as I have never done this before. Please check it out!

The Northern Gannets are brave and build their nest on the edge of the cliffs. This gives them easy access to the sea and the food supply for their young . The cliffs are very high and one wrong move and it would be all over. It was thrilling to watch and one of the people who monitor the nests told us the the eggs are a triangular round which means that they will role in a circle thus preventing the eggs from rolling out of the nest . Natures is for ever amazing and so much to learn

 

Wishing you a lovely and blessed evening !!
