L'avocette élégante vit dans une grande partie de l'Europe, son territoire se poursuit dans l'ouest et le centre de l'Asie jusqu'au sud-est de la Sibérie ainsi que jusqu'en Mandchourie, dans le nord-est de la Chine.
Elle consomme surtout des insectes aquatiques, des vers et des petits crustacés vivant en eau saumâtre. L'avocette recherche sa nourriture dans l'eau, à l'aide de son bec incurvé et très sensible. Sa méthode est originale : elle entrouvre le bec et écume l'eau en surface. Pour cela, elle manœuvre le bec dans dans un va-et-vient latéral tout en filtrant les aliments. L'avocette peut aussi basculer comme un canard pour chercher sa nourriture en eau plus profonde. Jusqu'à ce que son bec soit nettement retroussé, le jeune se contente de picorer.
L'espèce est menacée principalement par la destruction des habitats d'alimentation, de nidification et d'hivernage due à l'assèchement et à la transformation des lagunes saumâtres et des salines, les dérangements sur les lieux de nidification et le braconnage.
Les zones humides sont détériorées par l'usage des insecticides ; heureusement cette espèce est capable de s'adapter à des habitats ayant subi une baisse de qualité raisonnable. Comme 90% des migrateurs européens sont concentrés sur moins de 10 sites, une protection efficace de ces endroits est absolument essentielle.
Taille : 45 cm
Envergure : 77 à 80 cm.
Poids : 250 à 400 g

The elegant avocet lives in a large part of Europe, its territory continues in the west and the center of Asia to the south-east of Siberia as well as to Manchuria, in the northeast from China.
It consumes mainly aquatic insects, worms and small crustaceans living in brackish water. The avocet searches for food in the water with its curved, very sensitive beak. His method is original: it opens the beak and scums the water surface. For this, it maneuvers the beak in a back and forth side while filtering food. The avocet may also tip over like a duck to forage in deeper water. Until his bill is clearly rolled up, the young is content to peck.
The species is threatened mainly by the destruction of feeding, nesting and overwintering habitats due to the drying up and transformation of brackish lagoons and salt marshes, disturbance of nesting sites and poaching.
Wetlands are deteriorated by the use of insecticides; Fortunately this species is able to adapt to habitats that have suffered a reasonable drop in quality. As 90% of European migrants are concentrated in less than 10 sites, effective protection of these places is absolutely essential.

Mkinvarstveri is the peak, which attracts attention among every kind of persons. You don’t need to be a mountaineer, or climber, to stand your foot on that majestic peak. Everyone can conquer Mkinvarstveri, if there are enough desire, effort, right time and essential equipment, and of course, experienced team.
Let’s start with the technical details: Mkinvartsveri is situated on the border of Kazbegi municipality, in Khokh Range. According to many different sources, it is 5033 meters in the sea level. Supposedly, in Winter as the snow covers the mountain, it “becomes” higher. From Mkinvartsveri descends several glaciers: Suatisi, Mna, Ortsveri, Devdaraki and others. From here outflows the river Tergi. Mkinvartsveri is the third highest glacier in Georgia, it is just 150 meters lower, than the highest point- Shkhara in the nation of Georgia.
The summit is covered with snow constantly, does not matter, if it’s Summer or Winter. Here you will come across boundless crevasses, which, unfortunately, absorbed lives of many people. You can get there at any time, but in Winter and Spring it is an extremely dangereuses zone, as there are many avalanches here. Also, in Winter the temperature is sharply low, and one needs special preparation and equipment. For those, who can’t dare to come against such complexity, should get there in the half of Summer, till the last days of September. This is the best time for Mkinvartsveri. During this period the sun shines constantly on those cold slopes of Mkinvartsveri. It is the reason, why snow melts down, so it’s easier to walk and also, it becomes less risky. In the first half of September, the snow reaches the lowest stage, and the risk of falling in crevice is minimal, as the main problem- snow covered crevices are rare at this time. Also, the rain and windstorm “visits” the bride of the ravine more seldom. So, most of the tourists prefer to get there during this period- the beginning of September.
But, reaching for the peak of Mkinvartsveri is not easy at all. You should be really very serious. It’s a sad story, but I have to remind you, that many people, inexperienced, as well as experienced ones, left their lives here, on its white slopes. The biggest enemy here is holes/crevasses, which you can’t notice while walking on the snow, and you never know, when it opens the doors of his heart and cuddle you forever. To avoid such things, hikers use special ropes, where is tied every person of the team. They are walking some distance away from each other, as if one of them falls through the hole, others will be able to rescue the unlucky one. During that dangerous journey you will meet many signs, which warns you not to walk alone, as the Mkinvartsveri “does not like” alone souls, and advise us to walk with our team, roped (!). Another very serious hazard thing is the thunder! Can you believe it? Well, here many lives have been vanished because of thunder. During bad weather, the heavenly powers send affluent energies to the Bride the range. So, if you see, that there are clouds gathering, or it’s about to start raining soon, don’t take a step forward and just go back, somewhere in a safe place. Don’t hurry up! The Bride of the ravine is not going elsewhere. So, just wait for the spectacular, perfect time, chose the best weather, the group, its members and try to avoid the bad things, which you can.
As for the equipment, to walk there, you must have: warm and waterproof jacket, trousers, gloves, special, mountain shoes, mountain-climbers girdle, crampon (climbing iron to ice), adze (walking stick with sharp steel tip for ice-picking), rope and carbine. These equipment one can hire in Kazbegi, or at Meteo Station.

One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

The source of Aoös river lies in lovely Epirus, Greece, at an altitude (elevation) of 4,430 ft (1,350 m), where a reservoir was made. During the golden hour, a photographer there is blessed with all sorts of autumnal colors, co-existing with the surrounding fir trees' green, too.
The Aoös river (aka Aōos) is 169 miles long (272 km). It rises in the Pindus mountains' range (where a hydroelectric dam was constructed in 1987), then flows through the Vikos-Aoös canyon or gorge. It finally enters Albania (where it is called Vjosë) and continues for 119 miles (192 km) before joining the Adriatic sea.
Epirus is the north-westernmost region of Greece. The scenery is breathtaking, a unique combination of picturesque mountains, valleys and lakes or rivers.
La source de la Loue est une des plus forte résurgence et une des plus célèbre de France.
Elle est nichée dans un magnifique hémicycle creusée par la rivière dans les strates calcaire du jurassique supérieur. Au pied de la falaise, haute de 104m, s'ouvre une grotte dont le porche, large de 60m et haut de 32m, laisse passer la rivière.
Anecdote
QUAND LA LOUE PREND LE GOÛT DE L'ABSINTHE
Août 1901, Pontarlier, l'usine Pernot a pris feu ! Et que produit-elle cette usine ?
De l'absinthe ! L'alcool est deversé en catastrophe par centaine de litres dans le Doubs pour éviter l'explosion des cuves !
Deux jours plus tard, la Loue a pris une drôle de couleur verte ainsi qu'une odeur et un goût anisés… Le lien est très vite établi et permet de découvrir que la Loue est en fait une résurgence du Doubs. En effet, peu après Pontarlier, une partie des eaux du Doubs s’engouffre dans une faille, et ressort à des kilomètres de là, sous le nom de Loue.

Introduction
Almighty God says, "God made all things interconnected, mutually intertwined, and interdependent. He used this method and these rules to maintain the survival and existence of all things and in this way mankind has lived quietly and peacefully and has grown and multiplied from one generation to the next in this living environment up to the present day. God balances the natural environment to ensure mankind's survival. If God's regulation and control were not in place, no man could maintain and balance the environment, even if it was created by God in the first place—this still can't ensure mankind's survival. So you can see that God handles it all perfectly!" (The Word Appears in the Flesh).

Yellow-rumped warbler, May 6, 2020, Rondeau Provincial Park
.
Setophaga coronata.
Yellow-rumped Warblers are perhaps the most versatile foragers of all warblers. They're the warbler you're most likely to see fluttering out from a tree to catch a flying insect, and they're also quick to switch over to eating berries in fall. Other places Yellow-rumped Warblers have been spotted foraging include picking at insects on washed-up seaweed at the beach, skimming insects from the surface of rivers and the ocean, picking them out of spiderwebs, and grabbing them off piles of manure.

Conocybe rugosa is a common species of mushroom that is widely distributed and especially common in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It grows in woodchips, flowerbeds and compost.[2][3] It has been found in Europe, Asia and North America.[2][3] It contains the same mycotoxins as the death cap mushroom. Conocybe rugosa was originally described in the genus Pholiotina, and its morphology and a 2013 molecular phylogenetics study supported its continued classification there.[4]
Description
Conocybe rugosa has a conical cap that expands to flat, usually with an umbo. It is less than 3 cm across, has a smooth brown top, and the margin is often striate. The gills are rusty brown, close, and adnexed. The stalk is 2 mm thick and 1 to 6 cm long, smooth, and brown, with a prominent and movable ring. The spores are rusty brown, and it may be difficult to identify the species without a microscope.[5]
Toxicity
This species is deadly poisonous.[6] They produce alpha-amanitin, a cyclic peptide that is highly toxic to the liver and is responsible for many deaths by poisoning from mushrooms in the genera Amanita and Lepiota. They are sometimes mistaken for species of the genus Psilocybe due to their similar looking cap.
