Is this reservoir half empty, or...
Ladybower Reservoir summer 2018. I had planned to photograph the sink holes but after such a long dry summer they were standing a metre or so above the water level, I had to be content with some general views...no wind at all also meant an LE wouldn't do too much...ah well...
You may think the Red Pin is Larger, Truth is they are the same size...............Perspective has created this illusion.
Dipper - Cinclus Cinclus
aka Water Ouzel
Double Click to view
Dippers are members of the genus Cinclus in the bird family Cinclidae, named for their bobbing or dipping movements. They are unique among passerines for their ability to dive and swim underwater.
They have a characteristic bobbing motion when perched beside the water, giving them their name. While under water, they are covered by a thin, silvery film of air, due to small bubbles being trapped on the surface of the plumage.
Dippers are found in suitable freshwater habitats in the highlands of the Americas, Europe and Asia. In Africa they are only found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They inhabit the banks of fast-moving upland rivers with cold, clear waters, though, outside the breeding season, they may visit lake shores and sea coasts.
The high haemoglobin concentration in their blood gives them a capacity to store oxygen greater than that of other birds, allowing them to remain underwater for thirty seconds or more, whilst their basal metabolic rate is approximately one-third slower than typical terrestrial passerines of similar mass. One small population wintering at a hot spring in Suntar-Khayata Mountains of Siberia feeds underwater when air temperatures drop below −55 °C (−67 °F).
Dippers are completely dependent on fast-flowing rivers with clear water, accessible food and secure nest-sites. They may be threatened by anything that affects these needs such as water pollution, acidification and turbidity caused by erosion. River regulation through the creation of dams and reservoirs, as well as channelization, can degrade and destroy dipper habitat.
Dippers are also sometimes hunted or otherwise persecuted by humans for various reasons. The Cyprus race of the white-throated dipper is extinct. In the Atlas Mountains dippers are claimed to have aphrodisiacal properties. In parts of Scotland and Germany, until the beginning of the 20th century, bounties were paid for killing dippers because of a misguided perception that they were detrimental to fish stocks through predation on the eggs and fry of salmonids.

Created for Mel/Lauraxfire who is doing the hard yards at the moment and to whose connection here on flickr has been my privilege.
Always wonderfully generous with a keen sense of humour,Mel's art which is always inspirational takes you on journeys never envisaged and is just an amazing experience to view ..!
This piece is inspired by the following quotation found on Mel's profile page...
(When the doors of perception are cleansed, man will see all things as they truly are, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern...William Blake 1793)

Depth perception is the ability to see the world in three dimensions and to perceive distance. Although this ability may seem simple, depth perception is remarkable when you consider that the images projected on each retina are two-dimensional.
