Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
For weeks the weather had been terrible hot, and now the pinnacle presented itself as if the earth was about to scorch.
Suddenly there was no wind and only a few slow waves brought any movement to the boat.
It was as if clouds of steam were being chased towards the sea, and they had a menacing appearance like the steam of a runaway gigantic steam locomotive.
From far you could hear the roar of thunder in the lonely mountains........
A beautiful ominous natural spectacle that makes the hair stand on end.
It didn't bode well........

The first autumn storm "Odette" arrives on the Dutch south-west coast, one week ago and has wreaked havoc here....

Grizzly moms are experts at detecting and neutralizing possible threats to their cubs.
You can see in the upper right a lone bear. He is why mom led her cubs to the other side of the river.
Notice how she swims while keeping an eye on the other bear, making sure he's not following them and the cubs keep their eyes on mom.

This farm at Starzelalpe in Austria is situated "far from the madding crowd": it is high up (1678m) at the end of the Duratal, where there are no roads - just trails - to cross the mountains.
We reached the farm on a hike from the Schwarzwassertal, over the ridge and then steeply down to this farm. I'll be posting more photos of this walk later on.
The Starzelalpe farm is really secluded, more than an hour's walk from the nearest village, Baad, at the end of the Kleinwalsertal. The triangular wall at the end of the farm that faces the steep slope behind it is a local way of protecting farms from the threat of avalanches. [Explored on 23/02/2022, #94]
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.

Unspoilt places still exist, but for how much longer?
One of Québec’s last great rivers, the Magpie is under imminent threat from mega damming and hydroelectric development.
Still relatively intact (in 2008 a controversial dam was constructed at the river mouth), it is considered to be among the top ten rivers in the world for white water recreational tourism according to National Geographic.

English Ivy can be found everywhere in my neighborhood. The roots are tenacious, attaching to anything and allowing the plant to grow up and around trees, houses and other structures. In the state of Oregon, this plant is now considered invasive and it is illegal to sell it. This doesn't stop me from admiring each stage of its growth...at least in the photographic sense. Of course, if I find some in my garden, I'll be the first to hastily remove it.

This is the 'Full Sail' hybrid tea rose. A fragrant rose, first cultivated in Auckland, New Zealand, by Sam McGredy.
The McGredy family are world famous rose growers who came to New Zealand, from Ireland, in 1974, to escape death threats from the IRA (Irish Republican Army) during a time of terrible violence in Ireland.
One of Sam McGredy's most well known roses, developed in Auckland, New Zealand, is 'Full Sail'. Three other of his world renowned roses include 'Sexy Rexy', 'Olympiad' and 'Handel'.
To read more about this legendary rose grower, see:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_McGredy
'Full Sail' is a popular hybrid tea-rose because of its perfectly formed, pure white blooms on long, strong stems with a most sweet honeysuckle and lemon fragrance.
Photographed this evening, Monday 8th March 2021.

Robbins can be surprisingly aggressive.The red breast plays an important part in the threat display and is held so that an intruding Robin sees as much of the territory holders's breast as possible. If the display song and posturing fail to drive an intruding Robin away then the territory holder may resort an all-out attack and such attack can sometimes result in the death of one individual.
Been watching two male Robins showing off. It was amazing.
Unfortunately I couldn't get both on
Both adults reacted to any airborne raptor, other Eagles, Vultures or Ravens. The screaming even rattled me a little it was so intense at times, it seemed to be effective the flyovers were gone in a hurry.
