Purple Sandpiper - Calidris Maritima

  

In Britain, these birds occur in winter in good numbers principally along the east and south coasts, where they favour rocky shorelines adjacent to the sea.

 

It is much rarer as a breeding bird, found only in a localised area of the Cairngorms National Park, where 1–3 pairs have bred since the 1970s. Records of breeding by this species in the UK are monitored and archived by the Rare Breeding Birds Panel.

 

They are late migrants and move to rocky ice-free Atlantic coasts in winter. most go no further south than North Carolina and northern Portugal. They are fairly gregarious, forming small flocks, often with ruddy turnstones. This species is tame and approachable.

 

Their breeding habitat is the northern tundra on Arctic islands in Canada and coastal areas in Greenland and northwestern Europe. They nest on the ground either elevated on rocks or in lower damp location. The males makes several scrapes; the female chooses one and lays 3 or 4 eggs. The male takes the major responsibility for incubation and tends the chicks. The young feed themselves.

 

An apparent case of hybridization between this species and the dunlin has been reported from England.

 

A couple of pairs nest in Scotland, but this species is mainly a winter visitor to almost any rocky coast in the UK. Most are found in Orkney, Shetland and along the east coast of Scotland and northern England - it is scarce south of Yorkshire, other than Devon and Cornwall. The breeding areas in Scotland are kept secret to protect the birds from egg thieves and disturbance.

 

It is listed on Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.

Great Spotted Woodpecker - Dendrocopus Major

  

The great spotted woodpecker occurs in all types of woodlands and is catholic in its diet, being capable of extracting seeds from pine cones, insect larvae from inside trees or eggs and chicks of other birds from their nests. It breeds in holes excavated in living or dead trees, unlined apart from wood chips. The typical clutch is four to six glossy white eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs, feed the chicks and keep the nest clean. When the young fledge they are fed by the adults for about ten days, each parent taking responsibility for feeding part of the brood.

 

The great spotted woodpecker occurs in Eurasia from the British Isles to Japan, and in North Africa from Morocco to Tunisia, and it is absent only from those areas too cold or dry to have suitable woodland habitat. It is found in a wide variety of woodlands, broadleaf, coniferous or mixed, and in modified habitats like parks, gardens and olive groves. It occurs from sea-level to the tree line, up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft) in Europe, 2,200 m (7,200 ft) in Morocco and 2,500 m (8,200 ft) in Central Asia.

 

The great spotted woodpecker became extinct in the island of Ireland in the seventeenth century, due to deforestation, but the island was naturally recolonised by this species, with the first proven nesting in County Down in 2007. Its expansion in range is continuing, with breeding proven or suspected in at least 10 counties by 2013, with the main concentration in Down and County Wicklow. Genetic evidence shows the birds to be of British, rather than Scandinavian, ancestry, with the populations in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic having separate origins. The great spotted woodpecker was also found to have been nesting in the Isle of Man from 2009.

Took this one also at the Oklahoma City Bombing memorial. This tree is the only thing that withstood the blast zone. Strong and stubborn enough not to fall. I suppose that's how we should all live our lives.

 

Have a wonderful Friday my friends.

We need to remember we are not the center of the universe, nor of our planet .

Our most important task and responsibility is to protect the intricate ecosystem of which we are just a small part.

The natural world is breathtakingly beautiful but also dreadfully fragile and endangered.

Taking responsibility does not mean accepting the consequences.

To bear responsibility means to be self-aware of one's own inner echo. Our own echo that is sent back into the world.

 

I need to ground myself and listen to my own echo ♥

In this family Fynn is responsible for the well-being of the tomatoes which means that he spends a lot of time with them, watches over them and I suppose he talks to them too. He does that every year and is quite successful. Last year we had a fantastic tomato harvest.

I add another capture in the comments.

The Party´s over!

Das alte Jahr ist Vergangenheit, 2020 ist da. Alles bleibt gut, der Rest wird besser. Neue Ziele werden gesteckt, die eigenen Skills geschärft. Wer weiß das schon!?! Jeder hat seinen eigenen Kopf. Sein eigenes Herz. In diesem Sinne: "Frohes Neues".

Vorig jaar stond ik een aantal kaar in Bornheim op de Linker Rheinstrecke. Dat gaat dit jaar niet snel gebeuren omdat ze daar een lange tijd bezig zijn met werkzaamheden aan onder andere de bovenleiding. Hierdoor is er vaak verminderd treinverkeer mogelijk en worden er veel goederentreinen omgeleid over de Rechter Rheinstrecke. Deze omgeleide treinen betreffen vaak intermodale treinen van verschillende privaten afkomstig uit Köln Eifeltor, België of Nederland.

 

Eerder de dag toen we onderweg waren richting Köln Gremberg zagen we op Köln Eifeltor een groene AlphaTrains 193 staan van TXL. TXL heeft in totaal 9 vectrons gehuurd van AlphaTrains welke allemaal een mooie bestickering hebben gekregen. De hoop was dat deze met een omgeleide trein zou passeren. We vermoedden dat de trein snel na onze aankomst zou passeren, aangezien de trein vertrekgereed leek te staan. Helaas kwam de trein maar niet langs en waren we hem eigenlijk al vergeten toen opeens midden op de middag het sein groen toonde richting Troisdorf. Na ongeveer 2 minuten kwam er wat groens door de bocht en werden we alsnog flink verrast.

 

Te Köln Gremberg komt de TXL 193 553 "Responsibility Driven" voorbij de verraste spotters. Aan de haak heeft ze een omgeleide intermodale trein waarmee ze zojuist is vertrokken uit Köln Eifeltor. De trein is onderweg via de Rechter Rheinstrecke richting Italië!

Do you know me?

Really know me?

You have opinions about my opinions

About my music

About my clothes

About my body

Some people hate what I wear

Some people praise it

Some people use it to shame others

Some people use it to shame me

 

If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman

If I shed the layers, I'm a slut

Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it

And judge me for it

Why?

We make assumptions about people based on their size

We decide who they are

We decide what they're worth

If I wear more, if I wear less

Who decides what that makes me?

Is my value based only on your perception?

Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?

Up with the larks this morning as it was my responsibility to deliver some cards and parcels around Faversham. So any task can be made into a glorious walk, from my last drop off it was up to Judds Folly and onto our friends woodlands at Syndale Bottom, along Telegraph Hill to Ospringe Downs then over to Lorenden and home for breakfast, hot freshly brewed coffee, toast and homemade marmalade, yummy!

 

The rest of the day was taken up with three tasks. Firstly making the tarka dhal and puttanesca sauce for next week, secondly looking at the OS maps and working out the route between Woodchurch and Littlesone-on-Sea for Thursdays big walk and lastly sorting out restaurants and hotel rooms and Paddington 3 tickets for all of us up in town as it is Phoebe's Birthday treat! So it will be the Victoria Plaza, Ognisko's on Friday and Sicilian on Saturday and Paddington Three at the Curzon St Jame's Park, which is nice!

Quality is everyone's responsibility.

Responsibility on the Shoulder

Free people of a free country!

The 19th day of our resistance is over. Historical war. Another difficult day, which is still approaching our victory. Approaching peace for Ukraine.

As before, the enemy is confused. They did not expect such resistance. They believed in their propaganda, which has been lying about us for decades.They still can't recollect themselves. But they have already begun to understand that they will not achieve anything by war.

Their soldiers know this. Their officers are aware of this. They flee the battlefield. They abandon equipment.

We take trophies and use them to protect Ukraine. Today, Russian troops are, in fact, one of the suppliers of equipment to our army. They could not imagine such a thing in a nightmare.

And I want to tell the Russian soldiers. Those who have already entered our land. And who are just about to be sent to fight against us.

Russian conscripts! Listen to me very carefully. Russian officers! You’ve already understood everything. You will not take anything from Ukraine. You will take lives. There are a lot of you. But your life will also be taken.

But why should you die? What for? I know that you want to survive. We hear your conversations in the intercepts, we hear what you really think about this senseless war, about this disgrace and about your state. Your conversations with each other. Your calls home to your family. We hear it all. We draw conclusions. We know who you are.

Therefore, I offer you a choice. On behalf of the Ukrainian people, I give you a chance. Chance to survive. If you surrender to our forces, we will treat you the way people are supposed to be treated. As people, decently. In a way you were not treated in your army. And in a way your army does not treat ours. Choose!

Our brave defenders continue to inflict devastating losses on Russian troops.

Soon the number of downed helicopters of Russia will reach hundreds of units. They have already lost 80 warplanes. Hundreds of tanks and thousands of other units of equipment.

In 19 days, the Russian army has lost more in Ukraine than in two bloody and years-long wars in Chechnya. For what?

I am grateful to those Russians who do not stop trying to convey the truth. To those who fight disinformation and tell the truth, real facts to their friends and loved ones. And personally to the woman who entered the studio of Channel One with a poster against the war. To those who are not afraid to protest. As long as your country has not completely closed itself off from the whole world, turning into a very large North Korea, you must fight. You must not lose your chance.

The European Union has approved the fourth package of sanctions against Russia. The fourth - and I'm sure not the last.

We are working with partners on new restrictions that will be applied against the Russian state. Everyone who is responsible for the war. Everyone who is responsible for the destruction of democracy. Everyone who is responsible for repression against people. Everyone will get an answer. The answer of the world. And this is just the beginning.

Responsibility for war crimes of the Russian military is inevitable. Responsibility for a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian cities is inevitable. The whole world sees what is happening in Mariupol. Kharkiv. Chernihiv. Sumy. Okhtyrka. Hostomel. Irpin. In all our cities.

All our partners are informed of the crimes of the invaders against civilians and local self-government in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. In the temporarily occupied areas. There will be an answer for that. Necessarily. For the disrupted humanitarian corridors. Necessarily.

During the day of March 14, 3,806 Ukrainians were evacuated from the cities and towns of the Kyiv and Luhansk regions.

Our convoy with one hundred tons of what is most necessary for Mariupol is still kept in Berdyansk. For three days already. But we will try. We will do everything to ensure that Mariupol residents receive food, water and medicine.

I provided full information about the actions of the invaders on the Ukrainian land in conversations with friends and partners of our state. Every aggressive action of the invaders only pushes the world to new sanctions.

I spoke with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. With President of Poland Andrzej Duda. Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel. We have 100% mutual understanding.

The conversation with Prime Minister of Israel Bennett was also important. As part of a negotiation effort to end this war as soon as possible. With a fair peace.

Our delegation also worked on this in negotiations with the Russian party. Pretty good, as I was told. But let's see. They will continue tomorrow.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has agreed on a package of decisions to support our economy.

So that business works. So that people have jobs. Where security allows. Where people are ready for it.

First, we are starting tax reform. Instead of VAT and income tax we give a rate of 2 percent of turnover and simplified accounting. For small businesses - this is the first and second group of sole proprietors - we set a voluntary payment of a single tax. That is, if you can - pay. You can't - no questions asked.

The second is maximum business deregulation. We cancel all inspections for all businesses. So that everyone works normally. So that the cities come to life. So that life continues wherever there is no hostilities.

The only condition is that you ensure the normal operation of your business in the framework of Ukrainian law.

These are just the first two steps of our tax reform. To be continued.

And finally.

I have just signed a decree on awarding state awards of Ukraine to 234 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who showed personal courage and heroism in the fight for our land. For our independence. 59 of them posthumously.

May the memory of everyone who gave life for our state live forever!

Eternal gratitude to all our heroes!

Glory to Ukraine!

Atlas once tried to trick Heracles into standing in for him to hold up the Celestial orb from crushing the earth; however, when his trickery failed Atlas again continued his cursed duty.

 

Atlas never shrugged.

 

One wonders why. Was it a failure of story-telling imagination? Was the Titan controlled like a puppet and had no free will in the matter? Or was it the strong drive of obligation, of duty, that drove him not to shrug the burden off his shoulders? Someone had to prevent the world from being crushed. The lot had fallen on Atlas–forced on him when he lost to Zeus–unless Atlas could get someone to succeed him.

 

In contrast, modern novelist Ayn Rand argues in her book Atlas Shrugged that industrial titans dump their curse. Screw it. Flee from government oversight to the freedom in the gulch of their fellow Titans. Let the world be crushed. In that way, the gods and man will eventually appreciate how much they needed the Titan.

 

That is not the path that Atlas took.
