Status
Resident at wetlands throughout Ireland.
Identification
A secretive and skulking species which is more often heard than seen. Can sometimes be seen when it emerges from dense wetland vegetation briefly before disappearing again. A small bird with a rounded rear to its body, which is slender and laterally compressed in order to help it slip through dense vegetation such as reeds. Has a long bill which is red on the adult bird. Legs are long with very long toes which help spread its weight on wet ground. The upperparts are dark brown with black spotting. In the adult the body and 'face' are blue-grey, the flanks and belly are barred black and white and the under-tail coverts (which are easy to see on the cocked tail) are whitish. The juvenile bird is similar to the adult but is whitish underneath (not grey), has a pale bill and a stronger patterning on the head. Has short rounded wings and when flying into cover dangles its legs.
Voice
A distinctive call like a pig squealing coming from dense vegetation is a sure sign that a Water Rail is close by.
Diet
Eats both plant and animal matter. Feeds on land or in shallow water, will some times swim and will even, though rarely, dive. Food includes fish, insects, frogs, seeds and roots.
Breeding
Breeds in emergent vegetation such as marshes and reed beds. Most nesting territories recorded in Britain have a number of common elements:- static or slow moving fresh water, often open mud and invariably tall, emergent vegetation. The vegetation is often tall reeds, sedges, reedmace or rush, but they can also be found in damp field corners. Nest is built close to the ground, near or on water, usually in thick vegetation. Widespread in both inland and coastal areas. Ireland has a great abundance of Water Rail, which is no doubt due to our great number of wetlands.
Wintering
Widespread

Tricky photo to catch with the branch bouncing up and down in the strong wind. I think this bird was trying to stare down the sparrowhawk instead of diving for cover. Eventually the sparrowhawk moved on to hunt somewhere else.

On the morning of July 10, the animal care team released 14 live bass into the polar bear's main pool and a bear party followed. All three were in the wagter and all were successful in making multiple catches.
This was the final release of fish (6 of 6) funded by the 2018 Ocelots Grants Program Awards. It's been fabulous enrichments for the bears and for those of us who enjoy watching them.

Male lion (Panthera leo) waking in early evening
Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya, Africa.
Given the amount of time lions spend sleeping (males ~18-20hrs and females ~15-18hrs), it was not surprising that the majority of lions we encountered were either going to sleep, sleeping, or waking up.
I mostly passed on the sleeping lions shots and looked for those waking up and starting to think about their next meal. The first three shots were captured after their early morning nap and the later two from late afternoon-early evening.

Dé foto van de vakantie in Pont-de-Vaux maakte ik op 31 juli 2018. Enkele dagen daarvoor had ik bij deze fotostek: www.flickr.com/photos/61190890@N06/29609397407/in/photost... gezien dat aan de andere kant van het spoor ook een weggetje loopt. Ik wilde daar eens gaan kijken, alhoewel de kans op een fatsoenlijke fotostek me vrij klein leek vanwege de hoge bomen die daar ook redelijk dicht op het spoor staan en bij de juiste zonstand voor behoorlijk veel schaduw zouden gaan zorgen. Toen ik met de fiets langs de Saône reed zag ik dat er wel wat sluierbewolking aan het ontstaan was, maar in de hoop dat dit naar het zuiden weg zou trekken, reed ik verder noordwaarts tot ik bij de potentiële fotostek aangekomen was. Waar ik al bang voor was, bleek ook zo te zijn. De schaduw van de bomen zorgden voor veel te veel donkere vlekken op de voorgrond van de foto. Nadat ik het weggetje helemaal uitgereden was en niets fatsoenlijks had kunnen vinden, reed ik nog even verder door het dorpje Le Villars om te kijken of er aan de andere kant van het plaatsje wellicht nog een fotostekje was. Dat zou dan wel voor een andere keer zijn, want inmiddels was de sluierbewolking met een genadeloze hoeveelheid voor de zon geschoven en zag het er niet naar uit dat de zon zich weer snel zou laten zien. Aan de noordkant van Le Villars liep een weggetje naar een onderstation. Ook al was deze locatie geen landschappelijk hoogstandje, vanaf het bordes van het onderstation had je wel een leuk zicht op de boog in het spoor. Terwijl ik op dat bordes wat heen en weer liep om het beste standpunt voor een mogelijke foto uit te zoeken, hoorde ik ineens het aanzwellende gebrul van dieselmotoren. Ik baalde er behoorlijk van dat de zon zich niet meer liet zien, want wat mij betreft gaat er toch niets boven dieseltractie. Het balen werd alleen maar erger toen de paarse neus van een En Voyage BB 67400 achter de bomen tevoorschijn kwam! Ik werd helemaal chagrijnig toen ik zag wat er achter de diesellocs hingen, maar deze chagrijnigheid maakte 2 seconden voor het afdrukken plaats voor complete gekte toen de zon ineens de hele omgeving voor hoogop een minuutje volledig verlichtte! Zodoende kon ik toch nog deze foto maken en kon mijn vakantie niet meer stuk!!!
Op de foto zien we de BB 67613 + BB 67614 van SNCF CMR die met de voor sloop bestemde BB 8252, BB 8240, BB 8122 en BB 8194 en zes Corailrijtuigen -naar later bleek- onderweg waren vanuit Villeneuve-Saint-Georges naar Culoz. De locomotieven van de serie BB 8100 (BB 8101 – BB 8271) zijn gebouwd tussen 1948 en 1955 en waren bedoeld voor het rijden van zowel reizigers- als goederentreinen. Deze locomotieven waren een doorontwikkeling van het prototype BB 8001 en de locomotiefserie BB 300 en kent grote gelijkenissen met de NS serie 1100. Door de komst van de locseries BB 9200 en BB 9300, werden de BB 8100'n vanaf 1960 voornamelijk voor de goederendienst gebruikt en in de jaren ’70 geschikt gemaakt om in multitractie te kunnen rijden, zodat zij ook de zwaardere goederentreinen konden rijden. In 2003 zijn de meeste BB 8100’n buitendienst gesteld. De laatste exemplaren hebben het tot 2011 volgehouden. De BB 8122, BB 8194 en BB 8240 zijn na hun buitendienststelling geconserveerd weggezet bij l'atelier de Vitry-sur-Seine met de bedoeling om in ieder geval één van de machines later een museale status te geven. Uiteindelijk zijn de locs samen met de BB 8252 op het opstelterrein van Villeneuve-Saint-Georges terecht gekomen waar vandalisme en weersinvloeden de locomotieven geen goed hebben gedaan. Hierdoor is hun uiteindelijke lot minder rooskleurig dan de bedoeling was en reden de machines op 31 juli 2018 hun laatste kilometers over het Franse spoor. In Culoz zijn de locs namelijk letterlijk op het zijspoor gezet en zullen ze uiteindelijk aldaar gesloopt worden….
Le Villars, 31 juli 2018
Here is the continuation of my large summer-2018 project.
I had imaged this region for about 13 nights altogether between July and October 2018. You can call me crazy, using so many nights for just one object, in a region where clear nights are rare :) But I really wanted to see if I could catch this beautiful Supernova remnant, and I'm glad it succeeded :)
Recently Pixinsight was supplied with the new Starnet++ module, which you can use to completely separate the stars from the background. I used this software to enhance the very weak nebulosity and was astonished to see how much more could be drawn from the background compared to the processing I did last year. All other processing was performed using Astropixelprocessor and photoshop.
Supernova remnants (SNR) are formed when a large star ends its life in a supernova explosion. About 300 of these remnants are currently known in our galaxy. One of the most famous remnants, the Veil Nebula, is located in the constellation of Cygnus. Although this is the most famous one in this constellation, it’s not the only SNR. Cygnus contains several obscure SNR’s, among which SNR 65.3+5.7 (also known as SNR 65.2+5.7).
SNR G65.3+5.7 was discovered by Gull et al. (1977) during an OIII survey of the Milky Way. Some parts of this SNR were already catalogued by Stewart Sharpless in his SH2 catalog as SH2-91, SH2-94 and SH2-96, but they were not recognized as being part of a bigger structure at that time. The idea that they could be part of a larger SNR was postulated by Sidney van den Bergh in 1960, but it took until 1977 for this to be confirmed.
This is one of the larger SNR in the sky spanning a region of roughly 4.0x3.3 degrees. Mavromatakis et al. (2002) determined the age of the SNR to be 20.000-25.000 years and the distance about 2.600 – 3.200 lightyears. The shell has a diameter of roughly 230 lightyears! This SNR is a predominantly OIII shell with also some H-alpha signal.
This supernova shell is quite weak and there are hardly any high-resolution images of this region. In the internet maybe 5-10 deep images of this shell can be found and, in most cases, they don’t cover the entire shell or the resolution is quite low because it was done by using photo lenses at short focal lengths. That’s why I decided to see if I could try to image the entire shell using my equipment, a TMB92 refractor in combination with a QSI583ws ccd camera. Because of its large size I needed to make a 3x3 mosaic to cover the whole region.
As so many nights were already necessary to cover the region in OIII I didn’t succeed in grabbing the H-alpha data, but on the internet I found the MDWsurvey (mdwskysurvey.org) initiated by David Mittelman (†), Dennis di Cicco, and Sean Walker (MDW). This is a marvelous project with the goal to image the entire northern sky in H-alpha at a resolution of 3.17”/pixel. I contacted them and told them of my effort to grab imagery of this SNR and they were very kind to provide me with the H-alpha imagery of this region, so that the entire SNR could be brought into view in reasonable high resolution.
This bicolor image shows a combination of about 53h of OIII data (made by myself) and 20 hours of Ha-data (made by the MDW survey) in a single image. In this way the full span of the shell can be seen in all its glory.

YO TAMBIEN QUIERO SER GUÍA PARA FOTOGRAFIA DE AVES Y CUENTO CON FOTOGRAFOS COMO USTEDES APRECIADOS AMIGOS. DIFUNDAN ESTE VIDEO, HAY GRANDES AMIGOS IMPLICADOS EN ESTA HERMOSA LABOR DE MOSTRARNOS SUS TESOROS ENDEMICOS COMO OCURRIO CON JOSE E. LUNA SOLARTE Y JUAN JOSE ARANGO UN DIA EN FELIDIA!
Cuando veo en el mundo a muchachos de origen humilde como ese maravilloso guía que conocí en Cali junto a mi gran amigo Juan Jose Arango, Muchachos que nacieron y crecieron con la tierra entre las uñas producto del encuentro de sus manos con lo que fuese su primera labor, es decir trabajar la tierra junto a sus padres.
Verlos luego salir triunfantes ante la vida desde lugares remotos en las montañas de Felidia, sacrificarse dando viajes, estudiar ingles, hacerse un experto y aprender a distinguir los diferentes cantos de aquellos protagonistas que lo vieron nacer y crecer es para mi motivo de orgullo, pues pienso en mi infancia turbulenta y con un pobre futuro.
Así como nuestro amigo JOSE E. LUNA SOLARTE hay decenas de jovenes en Cali Colombia y en todo el mundo que han abrazado como oficio el estudio de las aves aprendiendo a imitar sus cantos, conocer su hábitat y lugares donde se encuentran para luego poder guiar a fotógrafos locales y extranjeros a conocer y fotografiar estas especies.
Este Video es para mi enriquecedor y más que nada aleccionador de lo que podría representar una manera noble de ganarse la vida para muchos campesinos de regiones remotas en Colombia, cuando retorne por completo la paz en este hermoso país.
Los que andamos por los montes de Dios sabemos de muchos testimonios de campesinos que primero fueron cazadores y que hicieron daño a la fáuna ( Yo en mi infancia no fuí la excepción). Luego se dieron cuenta que era mejor ser amigo y aliado de la naturaleza para sacarle partido y ganancias en vez de hacerle daño a las aves.
Lo acabo de vivir con un Campesino en Costa Rica que la vida y la naturaleza lo premiaron con la existencia de dos matas de "AGUACATILLOS" la fruta gourmet de los Quetzales y el sabe que si hay aguacatillos hay Quetzales, por lo tanto el tiene la gallina de los huevos de oro , un binomio perfecto, la fruta y ave que come esas frutas, así que mientras los servicios turísticos de los hoteles cobran U.S 40 para ver un Quetzal,este campesino cobra dos dolares y la fila es tan grande que aquello parece una procesión religiosa !
Y así me lo dijo un campesino... Yo cobro algo simbólico y cuido estas frutas y amo estos pájaros pues vivo de ellos. Si no hay aguatillos no hay Quetzales y si no hay Quetzales no hay entradas económicas.
Pero pongámonos a pensar el futuro incierto de nuestros jovenes que viven en campos remotos. Es migrar o hacer algo para vivir y que mejor que aprender a vivir de los que nos rodea como es el caso de estos jovenes que han estudiado las aves, manejan mas de un idioma y ya hasta piensan como pájaros para hacernos felices a nosotros mostrándonos una especie ENDEMICA como esta Piranga Hormiguera o Habia copetona de las altas montañas de Felidia en Cali, Colombia y que ese experto GUÍA FOTOGRAFICO de Jose E. Luna con su pericia y gran experiencia pusiera delante de nuestros telefotos.
Así interpreté yo desde mi humilde visión, este hermoso video sobre esta labor maravillosa de los que miran hacia el cielo por y para nosotros.
Un gran abrazo y disfruten de estos muchachos que son nuestros principales aliados en los montes de Dios.
Gracias a Juan Jose Arango por enviarme este maravilloso trabajo e intentar una vez de ayudar a su fáuna, enaltecer a Colombia y ayudar a los que nos ayudan.Mi respeto y admiración para todos los guías del mundo.

A familiar sight in (most) neighborhoods, the roti man has practically achieved mainstay status in the Malaysian cultural landscape. Delivering dangling bunches of roti krim and butter cakes to Malaysian homes throughout the years on their spruced-up bikes, we would say they have definitely earned a soft spot in our hearts. Anyone who brings locally-produced bread to us just as it's time for tea gets a few extra points in our books.

Ceský Krumlov es una pequeña ciudad ubicada en la Región de Bohemia Meridional, en la República Checa. El centro histórico de Ceský Krumlov, incluyendo su castillo, integra el listado del Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco desde 1992. La población de la ciudad en 2005 era de 13 942 habitantes, y su área de unos 22 km².
Es la antigua capital de la región de la rosa de cinco pétalos de los Rosenberg, la nobleza más rica e influyente del país. Después les sucede Julio de Austria, de la dinastía Habsburgo, los Eggenberg y por último los Schwarzenberg. La construcción de la ciudad y su castillo comenzaron en el siglo XIII, a ambas orillas del río Moldava, entre algunos de sus numerosos meandros flanqueados por abundante vegetación.
El asteroide (2747) Ceský Krumlov está nombrado en honor a esta ciudad.

Ceský Krumlov, translated sometimes to Czech Crumlaw, is a small city in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic where Ceský Krumlov Castle is located. Old Ceský Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was given this status along with the historic Prague castle district.
The city is named Ceský Krumlov ("Bohemian Crumlaw") to differentiate it from Moravský Krumlov in South Moravia.
Construction of the town and castle began around 1240 by the Vítkovci at a ford in the Vltava River, at an important trade route in Bohemia. It was first mentioned in 1253 as Chrumbenowe. A legend says that the name derives from the German "Krumme Aue" which can be translated as "crooked meadow".
In 1302 the town and castle were acquired by the House of Rosenberg. The majority of inhabitants were German at that time. For 1336 it can be expected that Czechs were only a small minority, who had their own priest.
In late 15th century, when gold was found next to the town, German miners came to settle, which shifted the ethnic balance even more. In the parochial church the sermons were preached in Czech until 1788, when St. Jošt Church was abolished.

This is a detail from Cederblad 214 which is a bright nebula and star-forming region in the wider SH2-171 area in Cepheus. It contains the star cluster Berkeley 59 (right of centre in this image). The complex is believed to be some 800–1000 parsecs distant, with the younger components aged no more than a few million years.
Within Cederblad 214 is one of the hottest known stars in our stellar neighborhood. With a temperature of almost 45,000 degrees Kelvin, BD+66 1673 is over 100,000 times more luminous than our own Sun. It is fairly unremarkable in this image though, it's at the bottom, just right of centre with a little bit of illuminated shockwave next to it.
Also contained within Cederblad 214 are numerous Bok globules - areas of of condensing gas from which young protostars are created.

Tintagel Castle (Cornish: Dintagel, meaning "fort of the constriction") is a medieval fortification located on the peninsula of Tintagel Island, adjacent to the village of Tintagel in Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. The site was possibly occupied in the Romano-British period, as an array of artefacts dating to this period have been found on the peninsula, but as yet no Roman era structure has been proven to have existed there. It subsequently saw settlement during the Early Medieval period, when it was probably one of the seasonal residences of the regional king of Dumnonia. A castle was built on the site by Richard, Earl of Cornwall in the 13th century, during the Later Medieval period, after Cornwall had been subsumed into the kingdom of England. It later fell into disrepair and ruin. Archaeological investigation into the site began in the 19th century as it became a tourist attraction, with visitors coming to see the ruins of Richard's castle. In the 1930s, excavations revealed significant traces of a much earlier high status settlement, which had trading links with the Mediterranean during the Late Roman period.
The rare and elusive Gurney's Pitta (Pitta gurneyi) is regarded as one of the world's most endangered birds. Until recently this species was known from less than 20 individuals all occurring in a single reserve in southern Thailand. Following the discovery of additional populations in southern Myanmar in 2003, the status Gurney's Pitta was downgraded from Critically Endangered to Endangered. This species occurs only in flat lowland rainforest, a rapidly disappearing habitat in this region due to logging and oil-palm plantations. The adult male bird pictured here sports a leg band from a recent population survey. Krabi, Thailand.
