Reconnaître un grimpereau des jardins ou des bois à sa morphologie
Il est possible également de distinguer un grimpereau en se référant à son plumage. Les deux espèces présentes des apparences différentes, qui peuvent toutefois se révéler plus trompeuses que prévu. Il se peut, en effet, que l’identification visuelle d’un seul critère soit suffisamment proche de l’autre espèce pour porter à confusion. Vous devrez alors être en mesure de retrouver au moins trois critères parmi les listes suivantes pour justifier votre observation.
Le bas-ventre est-il brun sale ? Il s’agit du grimpereau des jardins. Le bas-ventre est-il d’une nuance allant du blanc immaculé au léger brun ? C’est un grimpereau des bois – vous reconnaîtrez surtout son apparence bien propre.
Identifiez la barre alaire et les motifs. S’agit-il de gradins sombres, en escalier inégaux ? C’est un grimpereau des bois. Le grimpereau des jardins, lui, a un motif clair et régulier.
L’oiseau a-t-il un sourcil blanc marqué, qui tire vers la nuque ? C’est un critère qui identifie un grimpereau des bois.
Observez les pointes des rémiges. S’il y a de nettes tâches blanches, il s’agit d’un grimpereau des jardins. Autrement, les tâches confuses, sales, rappellent davantage un grimpereau des bois.
L’alula est-elle blanche ? Pensez grimpereau des jardins. Si elle est noire, ou seulement avec quelques traces de blanc, c’est un grimpereau des bois.
Enfin, c’est le bec qui pourra vous aider à finaliser votre observation. S’il est long, avec des griffes courtes, vous observez sûrement un grimpereau des jardins. L’autre espèce aura un bec court avec des griffes plus longues.
Être attentif à l’environnement de l’espèce : jardins ou bois ?
Il peut sembler évident, à la lecture des noms des deux espèces, de savoir comment les différencier. Bien sûr, c’est par l’environnement de l’oiseau que vous saurez, en premier lieu, s’il s’agit davantage d’un grimpereau des jardins ou des bois. Pour autant, ce n’est pas aussi évident que cela. Si les ornithologues ont mis du temps à distinguer deux espèces, c’est avant tout parce que des zones de sympatrie existent. Dans ces régions, les deux espèces se voient alors cohabiter. Cela ne se fait pas toujours dans la bonne entente : elles peuvent se montrer agressives l’une envers l’autre.
Toutefois, dans la majorité des cas, c’est bien le milieu qui vous permettra de distinguer un grimpereau des jardins à celui des bois. Dans le premier cas, il se trouvera généralement dans des boisements de petites tailles. Il apprécie les parcs, les vergers, les bosquets. Vous le trouverez facilement dans des lieux où les hommes vivent et sont en contact fréquent, étant de nature anthropophile. Il se trouvera plutôt dans les plaines et les vallées du territoire européen, ne grimpant pas au-delà des 1500 mètres d’altitude.
C’est tout le contraire du grimpereau des bois qui s’épanouira davantage dans les hauteurs. Il apprécie les environnements montagneux et, surtout, les forêts de conifères. Vous le trouverez sans doute dissimulé sur l’écorce d’épicéas, de mélèzes, de sapins ou encore de pins. Puisqu’il apprécie être seul, caché au possible, il se sent le plus à l’aise au sein de forêts denses. Des randonnées en montagne jusqu’à 2200 mètres, alpines par exemple, vous permettront sans doute de le croiser.
Le chant, meilleur moyen d’identifier un grimpereau
C’est, pour les véritables amateurs parmi vous, la méthode d’identification d’un grimpereau la plus efficace. Plusieurs autres facteurs permettent, en effet, de différencier un grimpereau des jardins d’un grimpereau des bois, mais le plus évident sera son chant. Surtout si vous êtes déjà sur le terrain, car il n’y aura alors qu’à tendre l’oreille pour distinguer l’un de l’autre. La diversité acoustique de la famille des Certhiidés, en effet, permet d’explorer largement votre potentiel en ornithologie acoustique.
Just spent a few days over in Keswick, what a beautiful location. My good friend Ray McBride had suggested a trip to Castlerigg Stone Circle, so we rose early 4.45am and set off. Arriving in pitch darkness we located the stones and I set up the camera waiting for sunrise.
The mist in the lower valley could be seen even in darkness but as the sun rose, the mist began to reveal what it had hidden. After changing my lens I managed to capture this closer image. It was a wonderful sight to see and one that will stay in my mind for years to come.

Senter Falls in Lyndeborough, New Hampshire.
Flickr staff sent me an email saying, among other things: "Your account was brought to our attention and upon review, we determined that your content and/or behavior was in violation of the Guidelines and Terms of Service. Specifically, the following photo was found to be in violation: www.flickr.com/photos/145003604@N02/51902747612/ Please be aware that any subsequent violation of the Flickr Community Guidelines or Terms could result in termination of your account without further notice. Regards, Flickr Staff"
The photo that was specifically "found to be in violation" is the one preceding this one with the title "Solidarity with Ukraine! Down with the criminal state of Russia!"
I sent the flickr staff the following reply: "I wonder very much what is wrong with the photo complained about. Is it forbidden in this community to express solidarity with Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in a way that is illegal under international law, i.e. criminal?" I have not yet received an answer.
This war of aggression was a crime committed by the Russian state from the very beginning, not to mention war crimes such as the deliberate murders of fleeing civilians or the Bucha massacre. Also the latest news testify to the criminal character of the Russian state: www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/10/world/russia-ukraine-war-...
As the flickr staff hasn't replied yet, I don't know who brought my account to their attention. But I can imagine what kind of person this was: either a brainwashed person who believes Putin's propaganda to the letter, or the kind of Russian diplomat who in all seriousness calls a red paint bag attack on the entrance of the Russian Embassy in Vienna in protest against this war a "barbaric act" (as happened on March 6).
But what I don't understand at all and find extremely disappointing and disconcerting: that the flickr staff falls for this game and now threatens me.

Nice flow yesterday at Senter Falls in Lyndeborough, NH. There were storms passing all around us and the water was surprisingly warm from the summer weather.
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

Get you off my mind now
I can't get you off my mind now
I can't get you off my mind now
I can't get you off my mind now (mmh, mmh)
I can't get you off my mind now
I can't get you off my mind now
I can't get you off my mind now
I can't get you off my mind now (mmh, mmh)
desisto
After a long hiatus with photography due to health issues. I finally got a little break. My neighbours got a little adorale black lab puppy, named Milo.
So Naturally I took this chance (because he's so close to me) to do a little shoot with him.
And what a little bundle of energy he is. Absolutely adorable but no quite used to the camera just yet. (that will chancge fast I suspect ;-)
So I made a little setup in my front yard and off we go with a puppy shoot. I hope you guys like it... I'm little rusty a the moment.
On a personal note.... Sorry for not posting too many new photos this past few months. Or for not being on flickr daily as I used to be.
I am dealing with uncurable neurological disease that has hit me hard with pain.
And has taken my ability to walk for hours away. And to say that I have no energy these past few months, is an understatement.
But I'm fighting hard to get stronger again and hopefully find a way to get half my life back. They got doing an IVIG treament now, so hopefully this will ease the severity of my issues. (fingers cross) Because the only joy I ever had was going out to take photos. And it's extremely hard on me not to be able to do so anymore.
Unfortunately my photography will suffer since everywhere I go to do my shoots is further then where I live. And out of reach at the moment due to my lack of strength to get there. So I stuck trying to find photo opportunaties close to home. Which lacks a little excitement and diversity for me.
SO other then getting lucky like I did with my gorgeous new friend here, Milo... It may take a few visits at the local parc to find something of interest to capture.
Thankfully I have so many unpublished photos from previous years that I haven't shared yet. So I will through in special surprise from the my better days of photography, once and I while.
And Hopefully I can get back out there from time to time and capture the beauty of nature and the animal kingdome.
*** Apologies for such a long message, and I THANK YOU so much for having read it. And even more so for all your support of my photography over the years.
All of you guys here on Flickr have been a tremedous joy to follow and to get to know over the years. I'm looking forward to continuing following all your amazing talents in photography.
Keep on "clicking" my friends

Sento la terra piangere sotto l'asfalto nero
la madre lo guardava gli diceva ....non è vero
♫ "Sole " ♫
Cosi dicono i procidani "Sancio Cattolico"e sembra un francesismo.
La chiesa di S.Maria della Pietà si riflette sul mare in bonaccia.
Labile autunno: la foglia sospesa
al ramo nudo, mortalmente pallida;
la nuvola distesa,
bianca sopra l’azzurro; i fiori gialli…
Appena mosso, il vento è come voce
d’acqua che lenta vada alla perduta
sua foce.
Labile autunno: la foglia è caduta.

Lago Garda, ITALY
Garda was the only one of the Italian Lakes I had not visited before and I almost took it off my itinerary for this trip. Fortunately one afternoon I made the 45 minute drive from my base of Trento and witnessed some of the most amazing crepuscular rays of my life. Seems that my timing coincided with a time where the sun sets in a particular position behind the alps to produce this fine display. This is from the second evening session here, both produced almost identical phenomena. The haze, so often the enemy in bright conditions, gave definition to the rays as well as holding the colour for a long time. The water in the lake while never still was not doing anything exciting and it took some time waiting around to get the right amount of drama into the wave motion.

Senti il profumo delle rose. Ascolta la loro bellezza, il loro linguaggio silenzioso.
Guarda la dolcezza e lasciati penetrare dal tepore degli ultimi raggi del sole di primavera.
Ascolta come parla il silenzio.
Sii anche tu silenzio e ascolta il tuo cuore
Listen, it's nearly evening
