Back to work after a long weekend I took the evening hours for a ride with the scooter of my son to take some shots. My tour went into the countryside of the Melle-Area in Lower Saxony. Enjoying the warm evening I read that this May is the warmest ever in recorded meteorological history. At least in Northwest Germany. Day temperatures in the mid-twenties and 10+ hours of sunshine are a pleasure for all of us. To be continued...

- but for the record the onions are very well hidden...

We put an electric heater and a water bowl on our patio. I keep warm water in the bowl and the birds are sure enjoying it. Not a very good picture through the class and a screen.

Our area is not prepared for the weather we are having.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines.

Miles away, at Catcott lows.

Records show that pilchards were exported to France as early as 1302, and in the late 18th century there were five seines and 55 boats based in the harbour. In the 1880s there was still a drift pilchard fishery and in the autumn around sixty boats fished in the North Sea.

“Record Store UK” was a nationwide event that was scheduled for the 18th April but obviously didn’t go ahead.

 

There is great interest nowadays in vinyl records, cassette tapes and other means of recording music that had been thought of as being largely defunct and this has spawned a wealth of smaller, independent retailers dealing in them.

 

Vinyl Attraction in Newark had not been opened long and suddenly had to close again due to the lockdown. The window is always very interesting, with many discs and memorabilia featuring many groups and names from my youth, even some records that I actually owned.

 

The event is put back to June and, as yet, no news as to if it will actually happen.

 

Happy Window Wednesday!

So... My plan was to do badgers on the Mendips tonight, but they didn't show for what ever reason. Then I remembered the Nightjars were only a fifteen-minute drive away, so off I poodled.

I'd heard one out on the ridge the last time I was there, so I thought I better head in that direction. As I neared the top one flew right past me, I knew then I was in the right place. I stood and waited, but by then the cloud was coming over, and it was getting really dark really quickly, so I thought I'd bang it on the head, pick a better night and try again...

As I walked back to the fence line I could see a tiny blob about the size of a blackbird sat on a post, I couldn't quite make out what it was, so I put the pop-up flash on and hit the shutter button. 1/15 of a second was not ideal... had I thought about it, I could have changed the settings, walked up to the little fella (might even be a female as no obvious white on wing or tail outers) and got a better shot, but I was only thinking bird in flight captures... Anyway, I've now hatched a better plan... :@)

Well chuffed to see this 'unringed' bird fishing along the Cripps River as I was driving home this evening, especially after telling people for days, we'll have an osprey here by the end of the week and then not seeing one... Good job I wasn't looking the other way as I crossed the bridge, or I would have missed it.

Taking a detour on the back roads through Sharpham and Ashcott I came across a large flock of Cattle Egret on the move. By the time I found a gate to swing in to this was about the only one still to take off. I still had my setting from the previous day so ISO maybe too high. Great to see though

Shot through the reeds at Westhay. Nice to get one on the deck for a change :@)

Sonoma County, CA, 2023

Bit of a surprise to see this splendid otter pop up in front of the hide at Catcott lows today.

Last Monday we had a break in the weather so I had a walk at Cors Caron. On one of the baord walks that heads out into the bog I saw this shortie perched up in a tree that was right next to the path. I had no option but to keep walking nearer and nearer and I was lucky to get relatively close. It didn't turn it's head until the last minute and then it was off however it must have been aware of me as it's 'ears' are up. Hopefully it's the first of a few more for me this year.

A shot of the stylus in action as the turntable spun.

En record a les barquetes que feian companyia els remers en els seus entrenaments diaris.

Tan debó ben aviat poguem gaudir de nou de la seva presència !

The male I believe... A marked improvement on my last go at this.

Think I might have to work on the quality a tad.

This guy was over the Mendip hills, I spent a couple of hours looking for Ring Ouzels and Wheatears on Crook peak but blanked...

The Hobbies should be about now... thought I saw one last week out at Westhay. Can't wait to spend some time with them. Top sport. :@)

The first recorded mention of Nikozi occurs in a c. 800 chronicle of Juansher, who attributes the founding of the church there and the appointment of a bishop to the 5th-century king Vakhtang Gorgasali: „he built the church of Nikozi at the hearth of a fire(-temple), and installed a bishop where was buried the body of St. Ražden, who had been martyred by the Persians in the war with Vaxt'ang“. This account is reiterated by the historian Prince Vakhushti, writing c. 1745, who adds that a bishop still resided at Nikozi in his day, being "a pastor to the Caucasians, the Dvals, and what is now known as Ossetia, as well as Glola-Ghebi". St. Ražden's martyrium is also mentioned by the anonymous 13th-century Georgian chronicle Histories and Eulogies of the Sovereigns, which relates that one of the sons of "the kings of Ossetians", a disillusioned claimant to the hand of Queen Tamar (1184–1213), died in Nikozi and was buried in its church of St. Ražden.

 

The Nikozi cathedral and its complex was constructed over a several-century span. The extant church building dates mostly to the 14th–16th century, a bell-tower is a 16th–17th-century structure and an episcopal palace was built in the 9th–11th century. Several other buildings such as a bishop's residence, cells, a refectory, and various accessory structures were constructed in the 19th and 20th centuries.

 

During the August 2008 Russo-Georgian War, Zemo Nikozi was a scene of heavy fighting between the Georgian and Russian forces and Russian air attacks on 10 August 2008, which damaged the Nikozi complex, especially the recently repaired episcopal palace. Its renovated roof, floor, and balconies were burned down, and the original south floor stones cracked due to fire. Monastic cells, a bishop's dwelling, and the refectory were completely destroyed.

 

After the war, following an action initiated by the Council of Europe, a project was implemented for emergency stabilization works to the Nikozi complex, including preliminary onsite works, a new roof, consolidation and stabilization of the structure, and archaeological works, setting grounds for further rehabilitation works.
