The Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis) is a small passerine bird which breeds in much of the northern half of Europe and also northwestern Asia, from southeastern Greenland and Iceland east to just east of the Ural Mountains in Russia, and south to central France and Romania; there is also an isolated population in the Caucasus Mountains. It is migratory over most of its range, wintering in southern Europe, north Africa and southwestern Asia, but is resident in Ireland, Great Britain, and neighbouring areas of western Europe. However, even here, many birds move to the coast or lowlands in winter. This is a widespread and often abundant small pipit. It is an undistinguished looking species on the ground, mainly brown above and buff below, with darker streaking on most of its plumage; the tail is brown, with narrow white side edges. It has a thin bill and pale pinkish-yellow legs; the hind claw is notably long, longer than the rest of the hind toe. The call is a weak tsi-tsi. The simple repetitive song is given in a short song flight. Birds breeding in Ireland and western Scotland are slightly darker coloured than those in other areas, and are often distinguished as the subspecies Anthus pratensis whistleri, though it intergrades clinally with nominate Anthus pratensis pratensis found in the rest of the species' range.
The generic name 'pipit', first documented by Thomas Pennant in 1768, is onomatopoeic, from the call note of this species. In colloquial use by birders in Ireland, the name Meadow Pipit is often abbreviated to "mippit". Old folk names, no longer used, include "chit lark", "peet lark", "tit lark" and "titling"; these refer to its small size and superficial similarity to a lark. (wikipedia)
This adult bird was alighting on a tree before flying in to feed hungry fledglings along the Irish east coast.

The snow is low on the mountain behind my house (which is behind this building). Snow is forecast for early next week: A joy for some but a looming threat for me. :)
U14 crawls through track 8 in Williamson's East Yard, with 3 special painted units, NS 8103 the Norfolk & Western heritage, NS 4000, in the special AC44C6M commemorative scheme, and NS 1071, the Jersey Central heritage unit.
B digs up an old Bobby Sherman record. Wow, more Bobby than we ever hoped for. I can't remember which unlikely cover track spurred our putting this on. B also did some DJ-type scratching and speed-changing, to amusing effect.
When you missunderstand the halloween concept and dressed up as a skelleton, try to hand out bricks to candyseeking kids while you scare them .

Taken 27 January 1995 Rainford Lancashire. Olympus OM2N camera Tamron SP 70-210mm F22 60th I Braun 800 flash , Kodachrome 64 colour slide. The keeper and I were walking through reeds looking for a place to film Teal on the pond beyond, when we came upon this bird who seemed to assume a threat posture. before it sneaked away.

After a gruesome battle against the Veil of Fright, Malda and Nelde managed to localize the weak point of the monster allowing Mari to finally defeat it, with the creature exploding in a enormeous pile of Doll parts. Unfortunately, the defeat of the creature wasn't the end of the threat: its essence suddenly infected Mari and Remi, seeing in them the biggest threat, and turning them into abominations Remi took away Seri from Aigara leaving the three girls defenseless.
That's right The X-Men/Mutantkind has a new foe threatening their freedom and very existence! Mutants must band together to defeat an army of genocidal robots known as Sentinels, as they are now 100% complete and ready for action...
Haha, I know I uploaded a similar picture, I just wanted to show that my sentinel is now 100% complete and also wanted to test out the camera on my new phone =)
Apocalypse coming soon.... Followed by Galactus... Stay tuned!
It's a little unusual to see an eagle perched on a rock on the ground; generally they prefer to sit high enough to assess the landscape for potential food and for threats. It may simply be near a carcass that its intending to feed on. Is that a teeny bit of bloody pink on its throat beneath its beak? In any case, the bird sat calmly while photographers clicked away. Of course everyone was considerably farther than I appear to be in this photo, thanks to good telephoto lenses and the miracle of cropping.
Seen in Little America, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA

Just over four years ago, the residents of Swarkestone in South Derbyshire had some serious worries about flooding as the River Trent rose above its banks. This has become an increasingly familiar story as time goes on as flood events in the UK become more frequent and I cannot remember a winter that has been as wet as the one that we have just had.
So I bought these 3 beauties today. Well bought the 2 style dolls from wilkinsons for £12 each and the fashionista came from eBay
TRIPLE THREAT.

Make you rock until you drop..
What was supposed to be a quick piece before getting on the plane, this 4 hour joint turned out Fresh..
Respect to Beps/Paze and Rebel (who supplied some of the tins)
My third and final Vic Viper for Novvember. Went with a super aggressive star-fighter style for this one, and really enjoyed putting it together. The side pods are mounted on click hinges so you could adjust their placement if you like, and the stand also has several options to allow display at different angles. It’s all quite solid and very swooshable!

White-breasted nuthatch, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, June 14, 2019.
When a nuthatch is confronted with an enemy, including a rival nuthatch the bird points its bill upward and spreads its tail and wings partially.
In more intense display, it opens its wings and tail fully, exposing the black-and-white pattern on each feather, flicks, flashes, or beats the wings, and sways excitedly.
Sitta carolinensis
The Kinloka is a small peaceful rodent which wanders from place to place without a care in the world. Its tail has a mind of its own however, and will use its nasty rasping teeth to devour anything remotely edible it can reach. While the tail is highly aggressive, Kinloka pose little threat to other Rahi, as the tail has no control over where the Kinloka goes. They are considerably more troublesome to civilized races, as they are known to wander into buildings and wreak havoc.
