(Poecile palustris - Marsh Tit)
La plus aimable avec les autres oiseaux et spécialement
avec les autres mésanges,/
The friendliest with other birds and especially
with the other tits,/
Les chevreuils sont de plus en plus présents chez nous, on les aperçoit régulièrement mais de loin. Celui-ci remontait le chemin qu'on descendait et de toute évidence notre présence le contrariait dans ses projets. Mais comme il avait très chaud il n'avait vraiment pas envie de dévier sa route pour passer dans le champ. Il a hésité longuement et a fini par sauter dans le champ à côté où il s'est juste tapi le temps de nous laisser passer. Une rencontre étonnante, j'allais à la chasse aux coquelicots et heureusement j'avais pris mon objectif 100-400 "au cas où"....

When out for a bike ride last week I was delighted to see that a local farmer had planted a wildflower mix in the set-aside adjacent to his wheat crop.
Actually it was double delight since the only poppies that I had seen up to this point were some mega-sized cultivated ones in the sand dunes at Alnmouth which don't count as wildflowers in my book!

Le plus grand des grèbes. Facile à reconnaître à sa huppe noirâtre et double, et, au printemps, à la collerette de plumes rousses et noires ornant les côtés de la tête. Cou mince, joues blanches. Patte palmée, mais chaque doigt reste indépendant (palmure lobée). Bec assez long, pointu, droit, rosé et noir
Ce château renaissance de L' Islette à quelques kms d' Azay le Rideau fut achevé vers 1530 .
Enserré dans les bras de L ' Indre , dans un cadre romantique , ce château a abrité les amours tumultueuses de Camille Claudel et de Rodin vers 1890 .
Ils y exercèrent leur art et travaillèrent à certaines de leurs oeuvres les plus célèbres comme "la Petite Châtelaine " et " les Causeuses" de Camille et "Balzac" de Rodin ...
1979, double exposition totalement involontaire. Quarante-trois ans plus tard, le résultat me plaît... ce n'était certainement pas le cas à l'époque.

After Europes largest land animal, let's get back into my garden to the other extreme, the Goldcrest, which is one of Europes smallest birds.
I found this little guy almost accidentally when I saw an unusual movement in a conifer, where he was looking for insects. Due to his behavior of feeding from the underside of the conifers, I had a tough task getting to a half decent shot in the short timeframe he was around. Eventually I got this one, showing him in his natural habitat, framed by the conifer branches.
Thanks for watching and have a great day.

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design.
Design
The development of the Plus 8 was led by Maurice Owen, an engineer taken on specifically for the role. The Plus 8 prototype was based on a modified chassis from the Plus 4, altered to accept the Rover alloy block 215 cu in (3.5 L) V8, purchased from GM-Buick in 1967. Plus 4's Moss gearbox was carried over and the Salisbury 7HA axle was uprated with a limited-slip differential. The chassis was developed in stages to accommodate gearbox changes in 1973 and 1976, 1995 the body widened in 1976 to accommodate the widened chassis and the wings widened to accommodate larger tires to handle the increasing power and trend for lower profile and wider tires. The original 1968 Plus 8 was 57 inches (1,400 mm) wide and the last was 64 inches (1,600 mm) (with an optional "widebody" at 67 inches (1,700 mm)) From the 1960s and (according to all auto magazines) through the 1980s for acceleration between 20-80mph, the Plus Eight was the fastest-accelerating UK production car. To this day, early Plus 8s are frequently the winners in the 1960-1970 class in the UK.
In 2002, Morgan created a "LeMans Edition" with similar exterior feature to the 1960s Plus 4 LeMans winner. In 2003, Morgan created a 35th year "Anniversary Edition" of the Plus 8. The 35th Anniversary model was built in 100 examples and has a walnut dashboard, mesh behind the grille bars, a "LeMans style" gear knob, and a badge on the rear panel. The original brochure also referenced the fact that the Plus 8 was to be discontinued the following year.
Following the discontinuation of the Rover V8, production of Plus 8 ended in 2004. A revised Aero, powered by a 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine, was placed on an Aero chassis, with Aero 8 suspension, axles, brakes, steering, gearbox, and altered wings was introduced in 2012, They also called this model "Plus 8" and it was sold concurrently with the Aero 8 from that date until the elimination of the Aero line-up in 2020.
In 2014, Morgan created another edition called the Plus 8 'Speedster' models based on the later Aero configuration noted above. It began as a limited edition, but production was not limited to the originally advertised 60 examples. This limited run forwent the traditional roof in favor of a small fly screen and hidden roll bars behind the front seats. Pitched as an entry-level Plus 8 model, they went on sale for £69,999.
