THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Lijsterbes (Sorbus)
Deze bessen niet rauw eten, eerst koken. Ze zijn eetbaar maar zuur en bitter, na bevriezing zijn ze beter van smaak. Zaadjes verwijderen, die geven darmproblemen.

Rowan (Sorbus)
Do not eat these berries raw, cook them first. They are edible but sour and bitter, they taste better after freezing. Remove seeds, which cause intestinal problems.

Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).

It must have been a good dream, it looks as though this fox is smiling as it wakes up from a nap.
It is amazing that a fox can sleep comfortably in temperatures well below freezing.It's common to see a fox sound asleep on top of the snow, especially on sunny spring days.
Chances are, there is a den nearby and this fox's mate was attending the kits.

Melanerpes rubricapillus rubricapillus
(Red-crowned woodpecker / Carpintero habado)
The red-crowned woodpecker (Melanerpes rubricapillus) is a resident breeding bird from southwestern Costa Rica south to Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas and Tobago.
The male has a red crown patch and nape. The female has a buff crown and duller nape. Immature birds are duller, particularly in the red areas of the head and neck.
This woodpecker occurs in forests and semi-open woodland and cultivation. Red-crowned woodpeckers feed on insects, but will take fruit.
It is the start of the tulip season here in Holland. Each season the fields are different in terms of location and type of flowers. So it takes some exploding to find the right spot. In this field the tulips are not yet fully in bloom, however I actually like that because it gives some extra dynamic to the shot.
Hope you have a great Easter holiday.
Many thanks for your comments and favs :-)

How's about a great big red HMM kiss. The lip colour is Loreal True Red. Used the reversed mount ring method with my 50 mm lens.

Squirrels in the UK
There are two species of squirrel in the UK; red squirrels and grey squirrels. Populations are currently estimated at approximately 140,000 red squirrels and 2.5 million grey squirrels. Red squirrels are our native species and have lived in the UK for around 10,000 years, Grey squirrels were introduced to the UK from North America by the Victorians in the 1800s, the first record of them escaping and establishing a wild population is 1876.
The father of the family is a picture in front of this.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.
Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
A bird that generated quite a bit of special interest with at least one member of our group during our visit to the Pantanal was the Red-crested Cardinal. Early in our visit I had a piece of dumb luck and this beauty flew up and landed right in front of me offering a fantastic chance to get some shots. I felt a little guilty since I wasn’t the one who was really itching for this species but thankfully everyone eventually did manage satisfying shots though it took them a few more days. It sure is nice to have some luck once in a while!
