Living pretty much throughout all of North America, the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) is the bird that comes to most American's minds when they think of owls. It should come as no surprise, since these robust predators live in nearly every one of our habitats and are a sight to behold, or a night sound to ... behear? Amazingly, they are the most adventurous of predatory eaters. They will feast on large rabbits and skunk and ducks, as well as small mice and coots and frogs. In parts of their range, they will even dine greedily on crabs and insects...and crows. There's a good reason mobs of crows can often be found harassing great horned owls in the daytime...they are scared witless of them!

Little robust rainbow skink captured at White Rock, Queensland in full jpeg glory. Was one of at least five individuals all clamouring over a rocky outcrop in a seemingly co-operative fashion. Two in the leaf litter at the bottom of the rock face and two making their way down from the top. This little guy (approx 15cm tip to tail) looked like he was on sentry duty who would frequently wave his tail back and forth as though communicating my presence to the others or to serve as a warning to me. More than likely though it is no more than a distraction… to keep my eye on the tail, that they can so easily drop, in order to make a hasty get away.

Hábitat compartido con L. sponsa (muy pocos) barbarus y virens, un paraíso Léstido!
A ROBUST and familiar seabird, best known for its large and densely packed breeding colonies. Seen on Skokholm island on a tall cliff ledge, exercising its wings in a whirring movement, before diving into the sea to catch small fish and sand eels.

These robust green wild leek leaves are reaching skyward for the scant sunshine as they hope to photosynthesize and power the growth of their amazing underground bulbs. Out east in the Appalachian Mountains these plants are called ramps and residents there hold festivals to celebrate the flavor of those edible bulbs. Don't pick them here at the State Preserve but if you have wild leeks growing on your property you can dig up a few bulbs and savor their delicious woodsy onion flavor. Wild leeks do flower, but not until July when these large distinctive leaves are long gone.
The old robust lock gates and the friendly lock keeper's houses offer a beautiful view of the Volkerak and the nature reserves outside the dike, Slikken van de Heen and Dintelse Gorzen. The Slikken van de Heen on the Brabant side is not accessible to visitors. However, the Dintelse Gorzen can be visited by hikers. Natuurmonumenten has set out a walking route here that makes it possible to experience this beautiful and unique nature up close.
Next to the lock is an old bunker from the Second World War. This was built by the Germans at the time as part of the so-called 'Atlantic Wall' and served as a defence against possible attacks from the current Volkerak. Nowadays, the Information Centre for the West Brabant Waterline is located here.
Nature port Benedensas is the starting point for a beautiful walk, canoe, sloop or bike ride through the water-rich edge of the Brabantse Wal. Stroll along paths through the bird paradise of Dintelse Gorzen or experience the serene tranquility of the Steenbergsche Vliet by canoe. There is also plenty to discover at Benedensas itself. Take a tour of the historic lock complex,
ROBUST AND PUGNACIOUS LITTLE WADER. The Turnstone has a short, stout and triangular bill that is used to turn stones and tideline debris in search of seashore invertebrates. All birds have reddish-orange legs, and show a striking black an white pattern in flight. Sexes are similar.

A mating pair form a shape known as a "heart" or "wheel", the male clasping the female at the back of the head, the female curling her abdomen down to pick up sperm from secondary genitalia at the base of the male's abdomen. The pair often remain together with the male still clasping the female while she lays eggs within the tissue of plants in or near water using a robust ovipositor.
Robust, gregarious, and black-trimmed large white pigeon. Inhabits coastal forests on small offshore islands, only making occasional forays to mainland areas to forage and to roost. Often perches high on the bare branches of trees or on power/telephone lines; often found in flocks of ten or more. Song is very low in pitch and includes “woo-oo-woooo,” with the last syllable drawn out; loud at first and then trailing off. Compare with Silver-tipped and Torresian Imperial-Pigeons where overlap exists; no similar species in introduced range in the Caribbean. (eBird)
--------------
We saw these pretty pigeons only a couple of times during our time in Singapore. Always high up in a tree, in small groups. We'd seen the Torresian Imperial-Pigeon in Australia, and honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two.

Huîtrier pie est un oiseau de rivage. Ce robuste échassier assez trapu est entièrement noir et blanc : tête, cou, haut de poitrine et dos noirs ; ailes et queue noir et blanc. Le bec, long et rectiligne, est rouge orangé. Les pattes sont roses. Il n'y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel, mâles et femelles sont absolument identiques.
L'Huîtrier pie montre un fort attachement aux côtes soumises à l'influence des marées pour des raisons alimentaires. Il préfère donc les côtes maritimes peu profondes et les îles, les embouchures de fleuves et de rivières. Les parties du littoral utilisées pendant la période de reproduction doivent présenter un substrat permettant de gratter la cuvette du nid. Il niche entre autres sur les plages de rochers, de galets et de sable ainsi que dans les dunes primaires et secondaires.
Jahrelang waren die beiden direkt von der CFR übernommenen 628 die einzigen Vertreter ihrer Art in Rumänien, mittlerweile haben sie ihre Alleinstellung allerdings verloren, denn auch bei rumänischen Privatbahnen erfreuen sich die robusten Triebwagen seit einigen Jahren zunehmender Beliebtheit. Im Spätsommer 2016 war der als 92 0102 bezeichnete Triebwagen jedoch noch ein echter Exot auf rumänischen Schienen, als er als R 4084 von Satu Mare nach Jibou in den Bahnhof General Gheorghe Avramescu bremste. Während die verkehrsroten 628 zwischenzeitlich in nennenswerter Stückzahl in Rumänien unterwegs sind, hat die CFR ihre beiden Triebwagen meines Wissens abgestellt.
Der Yak ist ein robustes Rind aus dem Hochland Zentralasiens, insbesondere Tibet, Nepal und der Mongolei. Seine dichte, lange Behaarung schützt ihn vor extremer Kälte in Höhenlagen von über 4.000 Metern. Yaks sind Herdentiere und leben in kleinen Gruppen. Der Yakbulle (männlich) kann über 1.000 kg wiegen. Yaks werden vom Menschen seit Jahrhunderten als Lasttiere, Fleisch- und Milchlieferanten sowie für Wolle genutzt. Ihr tiefes, grunzendes Brummen hat ihnen den wissenschaftlichen Namen "Bos grunniens" eingebracht – „grunzendes Rind“.
------------------------------------------
The yak is a hardy type of cattle native to the highlands of Central Asia, especially Tibet, Nepal, and Mongolia. Its thick, long hair provides insulation against extreme cold at altitudes above 4,000 meters. Yaks are herd animals that live in small groups. A yak bull (male) can weigh over 1,000 kg. For centuries, yaks have been used by humans as pack animals and as sources of meat, milk, and wool. Their deep, grunting sounds gave rise to their scientific name Bos grunniens – the “grunting ox.” (Quelle/source: Internet)
Au 14 °S , le café est surtout une plante cultivée en Ethiopie , puis au Yemen .
Des Hollandais importeront des graines , en Inde , à Ceylan et dans l'ile de Java.
Ce sont des plants d' Arabica...... qui vont se développer, également dans les iles avoisinantes.
Au 19° s , une épidémie de rouille dévaste la majeure partie des plantations.
L'indonésie introduit alors le café Robusta ,plus résistant à cette maladie.
Depuis l'indépendance, les plantations de café sont gérées comme des plantions publiques d'Etat , et on introduit de nouvelles variétés d'Arabica....
Désormais, 90% des plantations fournissent du Robusta et les autres plantations de l'Arabica .
L’arabica est cultivé dans les fincas (fermes) entre 750 et 1400 m d'altitude sur les flancs du volcans de Bandung et dans l'Est de java sur le Plateau d' Ijen.
In the fall of 2021, the bighorn sheep in Badlands National Park suffered from a highly contagious bacteria that caused pneumonia and wiped out about 50% of the ewes. Previously there were about 300 animals in the Park.. I only photographed 3 lambs in spring of 2022 and I am told that not all of those survived.
This photo shows some robust activity during the Fall 2022 rut. Hopefully 2023 will reflect a rebound in offspring from the remaining animals.
SMALL (20cm) ROBUST WADER, feeds along the edges of breaking waves, running at great speed. Used to see flocks up to a hundred or so around Thanet, now all you seem to see is in ones or twos if your lucky! SEEN AT HAMPTON, Nr HERNE BAY, KENT U.K.........................Best viewed large.

Portrait of an adult Eastern Robust Slider (Lerista punctatovittata) from a remnant and degraded patch of mallee woodland near Sea Lake in NW Victoria.
A DUMPY AND ROBUST WADER, both legs and bill are relatively short and stout. Can be found in the Kent coasts between Sept to April, and it breeds in the high Arctic.
At last things are starting to look up, as there has been not much birdlife about for quite a while. Have seen Groups of redshanks, a few sanderlings and dunlin, and my first pair of brent geese at Sea Salter, today. Also the largest flock of Goldfinches and Linnet's I have ever seen, but all looking very scruffy

Es una hierba robusta perenne, más o menos pubescente, que puede alcanzar un metro de altura. De profunda raíz única, cónica, gruesa y pivotante. Muestra numerosas ramificaciones; las hojas basales son espatuladas, semicarnosas, suavemente dentadas, y las ubicadas en la parte superior del tallo se encuentran reducidas a brácteas. La floración, entre julio y septiembre, da lugar a inflorescencias liguladas de color azul-lila más o menos intenso e incluso rosa o blanco, sostenidas por un pedúnculo largo, rígido y estriado longitudinalmente; la flor tiene la particularidad de no abrirse más que a pleno sol, y seguir la trayectoria de éste al igual que los girasoles. Son hermafroditas, de reproducción autógama la mayoría de las veces. El fruto es un aquenio poligonal, con una corona (vilano) muy corta de diminutas escamas. FUENTE: es.wikipedia.org/

Haithabu / Schleswig-Holstein / Germany
Haithabu (Hedeby) was an important Viking city in the Middle Ages (8th to the 11th centuries) and now an UNESCO World Heritage Site with open-air museum. Before and after this time, it was just a beautiful piece of land.

Testing the robustness of my A99. It still works - the moisture in the damp grass didn't affect it at all.
Deeply romantic yet squat and robust, Wells Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Andrew the Apostle, is mostly in Early English style. Construction was started in 1175 by Bishop Reginald FitzJocelyn on the site of a Saxon abbey built by St Aldhelm in 705; it replaced Sherborne as the seat of an episcopal see in 909, and it was removed again to Bath after the Norman Conquest in 1090. The new building begun by FitzJocelyn was intended from its inception to facilitate a return of the episcopal seat to Wells. The bulk of the work was finished by 1326.
The magnificent West Front, with 300 sculpted figures, followed in the years after 1365 under master mason William Wynford.
The Cathedral fell into disrepair under Oliver Cromwell, and after a happy interlude during the Restoration was again damaged by Puritan soldiers during the Monmouth Rebellion, who damaged the West Front and stabled their horses in the nave.
Wells Cathedral is the seat of the Bishops of Bath and Wells.
Liane robuste endémique à la Nouvelle-Calédonie, pouvant atteindre 25 m, commune en forêt dense humide sur la Grande Terre.
Hace semanas que no salgo al campo, pero hoy puedo subir unas cuantas fotillos, jeje, ahi unos Lestes dryas del mes pasado en Madrid, muchos ejemplares parasitados por ácaros rojos, como este, también sobre los Sympetrum sanguineum y presumiblemente sobre su huésped favorito, S. meridionale, aunque cuando fueron tomadas estas fotos estos aún no habían emergido.
Entre estos Lestes dryas se encontraba también algún L. sponsa, aunque yo no logré fotografiar ninguno.
Oiseau fin au plumage brun, légèrement plus grand que le rouge-gorge mais pas aussi droit. Sa queue est d'un roux chaud. Ses pattes sont longues et robustes, et qu'est-ce qu'il chante bien.....

A tree in the park that completely overwhelmed me when I walked up on it. This park was situated in between little shops in the Carmel by the Sea area and I was completely floored taking it in. I'm not quite sure that this photo does it justice but I hope you can appreciate the scope of it through my lens.
If you ever get the chance to stop in this part of the country please do so. There are around 100+ little shops that are so enticing. There are all situated on a slight hill with the path leading down to the Pacific Ocean. This park was about half way down.
Thanks for the continued viewership, comments, and faves.

The Harpy Eagle is a massive raptor of lowland forests of Central and South America. It has a strong bill and particularly robust tarsi and toes, which coupled with its large body size position the Harpy Eagle as the world's most formidable eagle (Brown and Amadon 1968). Although it can capture a variety of prey, Harpy Eagles are notable for hunting primarily medium sized mammals, such as sloths and small monkeys. It already has been extirpated from many areas where it formerly was found, especially in northern Central America, and despite its wide distribution the species as a whole is regarded as Near-Threatened by BirdLife International and it is in the red list as Vulnerable by the IUCN 2023.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Das Konik (aus dem Polnischen: Pferdchen, kleines Pferd) ist eine Ponyrasse aus dem mittel- und osteuropäischen Raum. Die Ponys sind sehr robust und finden Verwendung sowohl in der Landwirtschaft als auch bei der Erhaltung von zahlreichen Naturschutzgebieten wie Geltinger Birk (Ostsee), Schmidtenhöhe (Koblenz) oder dem Brönnhof bei Schweinfurt und im polnischen Białowieża-Nationalpark, wo sie in extensiver Landwirtschaft gehalten werden. Die größte Population lebt in Oostvaardersplassen in den Niederlanden unter nahezu wilden Bedingungen.
The Konik (from Polish: horse, small horse) is a pony breed from Central and Eastern Europe. The ponies are very robust and are used both in agriculture and in the preservation of numerous nature reserves such as Geltinger Birk (Baltic Sea), Schmidtenhöhe (Koblenz) or the Brönnhof near Schweinfurt and in the Polish Białowieża National Park, where they are kept in extensive agriculture . The largest population lives in Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands in almost wild conditions.

Robust warbler found near the ground in thick vegetation. Yellow below with blue-gray head and olive back. Adult males show black chest patch. Females are paler gray on the head; immatures are more olive-toned with a yellowish throat. Breeds in brushy, weedy clearings within mixed or coniferous forest. Often favors raspberry thickets. Tends to stay hidden in low vegetation, so can be difficult to see. Listen for its rolling song, “churry churry churry chew.” Most similar to MacGillivray’s Warbler, but little range overlap, and Mourning has somewhat shorter tail and lacks bold white eye-arcs. Also frequently confused with Common Yellowthroat, especially in fall, but Mourning is larger, with heftier pinkish bill, and brighter yellow underparts. (eBird)
You almost never see a Mourning Warbler high in a tree, so seeing this male out in the open, singing his heart out to potential mates, was very exciting. Previously, I had had only a quick glimpse of a face deep in the shrubs.

The Toucan Barbet (Semnornis ramphastinus) is a barbet native to the humid montane forests of western Ecuador and Colombia. It is medium-sized, 19 to 21 cm (7.5-8.3 in) long, barbet with a colorful plumage and a robust bill. The Toucan Barbet is native to the humid forests of the western Andes, from the Pacific Andean slopes of northwest Ecuador to southwest Colombia, at altitudes of 1,200-2,400 m (4,000-7,900 ft).
