Almost all electric kettles work the same way: there's a steam tube running down from the water compartment to a bimetallic thermostat at the bottom that clicks the heating element off when the water boils. The idea was developed by English inventor John Taylor and commercialized by his company Strix, which has sold an estimated one billion thermostats of this kind!
This photo shows a closeup of one form of Strix thermostat and switching unit mounted in the base of the kettle. That's slightly different from kettles where the thermostat is fitted in the side of the handle (as shown in our other photo.

In my yard. Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
This is another shot from the morning I discovered one of the owls perched directly above me as I waited in a lawn chair for a pileated woodpecker nest exchange. The owl was so unconcerned about my presence that it alternately gawked around, slept and preened. Here it is shaking its feathers a bit after preening for a while.
Shot with Canon EOS 700D using Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM lens @ 300mm.

Im Stadtwald von Hannover habe ich diesen Sommer 6 Bruten feststellen können. Es gab also reichlich Nachwuchs bei den Waldkäuzen. Mittlerweile kehren die Elterntiere zu ihren ursprünglichen Tageseinständen zurück. In dieser Baumhöhle kann man manchmal das Paar beobachten. An diesem Tag leider nicht. Eines der ersten Fotos, die ich mit der neuen Nikon gemacht habe.

Crosspool, Sheffield
On a visit to a local garden centre for bird feeders to replace those vandalised by squirrels we had occasion to drive through Crosspool where this Tawny Owl has become something of a celebrity, frequently being seen roosting in this roadside tree.
The tree is hard to miss, just opposite the primary school, and the trunk has been decorated with knitted owls, suggesting the presence of the real thing just above in the tree.
Nice to see even on such a grey day as today, but I'd like to see him (her?) in better light.
Spotted Wood Owl (Strix seloputo)

Large ear-less owl.
Different from Brown Wood Owl by lack of blackish borders and the presence of white spots on upper parts and the lack of blackish borders on facial discs, dark eye-shadows and brown on breast.
