Pied Flycatcher (f) - Ficedula hypoleuca
The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.
It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.
It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.
The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.
The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.
Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

Supertrees are the 18 tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens' landscape with heights that range between 25 metres (82 ft) and 50 metres (160 ft). They were conceived and designed by Grant Associates, with the imaginative engineering of Atelier One and Atelier Ten. They are vertical gardens that perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens.[15]
Supertree Grove, Singapore
A night view of the Supertrees
The Supertrees are home to enclaves of unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and also a vast collection of bromeliads such as Tillandsia, amongst other plants. They are fitted with environmental technologies that mimic the ecological function of trees: photovoltaic cells that harness solar energy which can be used for some of the functions of the Supertrees (such as lighting), similar to how trees photosynthesize, and collection of rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain displays, similar to how trees absorb rainwater for growth. The Supertrees also serve air intake and exhaust functions as part of the conservatories' cooling systems.
There is an elevated walkway, the OCBC Skyway, between two of the larger Supertrees for visitors to enjoy a panoramic aerial view of the Gardens.
An anti-lock braking system, is a safety system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking.
A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking, by preventing a locked wheel or skid, and allowing the wheel to continue to forward roll and create lateral control, as directed by driver steering inputs. Disadvantages of the system include increased braking distances under some limited circumstances (ice, snow, gravel, steel bridges, anything other than dry tarmac) and the creation of a "false sense of security" among drivers who do not understand the operation, and limitations of ABS.
A few weeks ago my husband said "every good
bar needs a good HIFI system" and he showed
me a picture of a radio from the 90's.
When I called it radio, my husband told me:
"honey, it's not just a RADIO, it's a high-end HIFI
system that used to be very popular".
Now it's finished, my husband is happy with
how it looks, it wasn't easy, i installed
some functions so that you can use it on
the parcel as a "radio" 😂. It can store
7 stream channels, you can turn it on and off.
Its possible to take a first look in my shop inworld 👍 .
This HIFI system will be released on November 10th @ Equal10.

Hoping to see the creature that made this amazing web system in our garden overnight. And, how 'bout that gigantic slug! 😮 Gardens do interesting things this time of year.

reach for the sky in a building of steel and glass
feel the greatness of their size and mass
filled with people and energy
who are all full of gas
so lets not pass up a chance to rely
on hopes and dreams in that great big sky
a self contained package of windows and frames
full of bodies who usually are just playing games!!!!!
CSX 1982, the Seaboard System Heritage Unit, is in charge of a big I031 at Fleet, beginning their journey through Virginia on the RF&P sub. This is definitely my favorite of the ones they've released so far, and I was super happy with how this turned out. I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing and photographing more of these, and very much hoping for an RF&P unit to shoot on the RF&P. Thanks to everyone who tracked this, our railfan community down here is pretty awesome.
The Seaboard System’s only two A units make a reverse move to run around their train at Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Trundling along between Croydon and Blackbull, RM93 crosses another trestle bridge on its weekly West bound journey back from Croydon to Normanton.
RM93 was built at the Ipswich Railway Museum in 1950 and arrived at Normanton in 1982, where it has remained ever since.
The Normanton to Croydon rail line was built between 1888 and 1891, utilising an innovative system of submersible track with patented steel sleepers, designed to combat not only flooding water but termites that plagued the line originally.

The Normanton to Croydon rail line was built between 1888 and 1891, utilising an innovative system of submersible track with patented steel sleepers, designed to combat not only flooding water but termites that plagued the line originally.
The line initially was planned to be a transcontinental link between western Queensland and the Gulf of Carpentaria. In 1886, the link was approved for construction between Cloncurry (on the now Mount Isa line) and Normanton, however, the discovery of gold in Croydon distracted these plans. The line was then constructed (and detoured) to Croydon with the full ambition to continue it onto Cloncurry. However, the gold mine at Croydon did not maintain the anticipated success and by the early 1900s was closed and the line's fate sealed.
Today this line remains as Queensland Rail's only isolated railway, with the nearest link some 190km away from Croydon at Forsayth.
