Whinchat - Saxicola Rubetra (M)

The whinchat is a solitary species, favouring open grassy country with rough vegetation and scattered small shrubs. It perches in elevated locations ready to pounce on the insects and other small invertebrates that form its diet. The nest is built by the female on the ground in coarse vegetation, with a clutch of four to seven eggs being laid. The hen incubates the eggs for about thirteen days and then both parents feed the nestlings. Fledging takes place about eighteen days after hatching and the parents continue to feed the young for another fortnight. Moulting takes place in late summer before the migration southwards, and again on the wintering grounds in Africa before the migration northwards in spring. The whinchat is a common species with a wide range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified it as being of least concern.

Fairly common but local summer migrant from winter grounds in Africa. Found in open country on heathland, moorland, rough grassland, often with bracken. Perches atop bushes and on fences, dropping to the ground to feed, where usually hops briefly before flying back up to a perch. Male distinctive, with bold white eyebrow, dark cheeks, and peachy-orange breast. Female duller but with ghosting of male pattern, especially pale eyebrow. In flight shows distinctive white bases to sides of tail.

It is a perennial shrub or tree, very popular in tropical landscaping, which has a woody, erect, branched and thorny stem.

The inflorescences are composed of red, orange-red, pinkish-red or yellow flowers, depending on the variety, all characterized by long stamens. Flowering occurs in spring and summer.

The fruits are of the vegetable type and appear in Autumn.

It should be grown in full sun or partial shade, but is tolerant of light cold, in subtropical or Mediterranean climates, becoming deciduous (loses its leaves in Winter). It is multiplied by seeds.

Some peoples use the plant as a medicinal plant, with anti-inflammatory properties, but care must be taken as it is a toxic plant, including abortifacient.

originally from China. very invasive because birds eat and spread the berries!

Nerium oleander is a shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium. It is most commonly known as nerium or oleander, from its superficial resemblance to the unrelated olive Olea. It is so widely cultivated that no precise region of origin has been identified, though southwest Asia has been suggested. Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants. Oleander grows to 2–6 m tall, with erect stems that splay outward as they mature; first-year stems have a glaucous bloom, while mature stems have a grayish bark. The flowers grow in clusters at the end of each branch; they are white, pink to red. 33119

Ceanothus are arguably the best blue-flowered hardy shrubs in the UK. The evergreen types provide fantastically dark-green glossy leaves throughout the year and blue flowers are produced in profusion in spring or summer., They are also known as "Californian Lilac"

"White Ibises gather in groups in shallow wetlands and estuaries in the southeastern United States. At each step, their bright red legs move through the water and their curved red bill probes the muddy surface below. As adults, these striking wading birds are all white save for their black wingtips, but watch out for young birds that are brown above and white below. White Ibises nest in colonies in trees and shrubs along the water's edge, changing locations nearly every year."

On the cliff walk at Stackpole the sheep roam about and, inevitably, their fleece gets caught on the bushes. There were no clouds to define the sky just milky sheet cloud unfortunately hence the white out sky. Hey Ho, you can't win the all.

I was unfamiliar with this plant until last spring. A beautiful one flowers at the Lawrence Hall of Science.

"Cistus (from the Greek kistos) is a genus of flowering plants in the rockrose family Cistaceae, containing about 20 species (Ellul et al. 2002). They are perennial shrubs found on dry or rocky soils throughout the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal through to the Middle East, and also on the Canary Islands.

Cistus, with its many hybrids and cultivars, is commonly encountered as a garden flower."--Wikipedia.

An unknown shrub. . . Doubtless something Mediterranean and/or tropical. Landscaping in the Bay Area.

It's PHOTINIA. Thanks to Alexandra and Liliane, see below, for this ID!

The expression from the Atlantic puffin, because of how the eye looks, reminds me of the guilty look a child might give when caught doing something they feel they really shouldn't be.

And, this is another example of a puffing trying to bite off something that would be challenging for a human to break. Junipers are tough! The bird did give up.
