Chiffchaff - Phylloscopus collybita
The common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita), or simply the chiffchaff, is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds in open woodlands throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.
It is a migratory passerine which winters in southern and western Europe, southern Asia and north Africa. Greenish-brown above and off-white below, it is named onomatopoeically for its simple chiff-chaff song. It has a number of subspecies, some of which are now treated as full species.
This warbler gets its name from its simple distinctive song, a repetitive cheerful chiff-chaff. This song is one of the first avian signs that spring has returned. Its call is a hweet, less disyllabic than the hooeet of the willow warbler or hu-it of the western Bonelli's warbler.
The common chiffchaff breeds across Europe and Asia east to eastern Siberia and north to about 70°N, with isolated populations in northwest Africa, northern and western Turkey and northwestern Iran. It is migratory, but it is one of the first passerine birds to return to its breeding areas in the spring and among the last to leave in late autumn. When breeding, it is a bird of open woodlands with some taller trees and ground cover for nesting purposes. These trees are typically at least 5 metres (16 ft) high, with undergrowth that is an open, poor to medium mix of grasses, bracken, nettles or similar plants. Its breeding habitat is quite specific, and even near relatives do not share it; for example, the willow warbler (P. trochilus) prefers younger trees, while the wood warbler (P. sibilatrix) prefers less undergrowth. In winter, the common chiffchaff uses a wider range of habitats including scrub, and is not so dependent on trees. It is often found near water, unlike the willow warbler which tolerates drier habitats. There is an increasing tendency to winter in western Europe well north of the traditional areas, especially in coastal southern England and the mild urban microclimate of London. These overwintering common chiffchaffs include some visitors of the eastern subspecies abietinus and tristis, so they are certainly not all birds which have bred locally, although some undoubtedly are.
Population:
UK breeding:
1,200,000 territories
UK wintering:

Using the freshest seafood from the loch of the same name (the longest sea loch in Scotland), Loch Fyne restaurants serve a variety of shellfish and smoked fish - all of which are complimented by an extensive wine list. Non-seafood dishes are also available
I can recommend Loch Fyne Kipper's for me they are the best you will have.

Song: Mercy, Mercy, Me (The Ecology)
Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east
Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

I think most of you know of my forays into the neighbors' yards to shoot their flowers. Well, today I wanted dandelion seedheads, so, with bucket in hand, I walked for several blocks, and picked off the seedheads off the dandelions from peoples' yards. I'm sure they would be happy about that, right?
Then you can imagine how long it took me to stuff them into six bottles. All for a shot :)
Shot in my lightbox.

cherry blossoms silhoette by Dawn Grace. Please do not steal my photos. These pictures are here to represent my work as a professional tattoo artist, and most of these designs were drawn specifically for each client.
That said, i cannot email you pictures of my clients' custom work so that you can take it to another artist to have it done. It's not fair to the people who pay to get tattooed by me.
Tattooing is a personal decision, and should you decide to get tattooed, put thought into what you want and find an artist who is willing and able to draw and tattoo exactly what you desire.
Do not leave comments about my clients' bodies ("she's sexy" or "damn, she's fat ",or choice of subject matter. )
Such comments are annoying and will be deleted immediately.

Snowflake used to love to sit in the window and watch the snowflakes falling. I made this creation for my grand daughter Lydia that adored her and when Snowflake went to kitty heaven I got a silver frame and put this picture in it for her to remember her by.
Thank you all for the visit, kind remarks and invites, they are very much appreciated! 💝 I may reply to only a few comments due to my restricted time spent at the computer.

Example of use of TOPAZ AI SHARPEN
A Chiffchaff taking off
Un pouillot veloce qui s'envole
It's impossible to recover a movement blur with a sharpening filter : a sharpening filter will only add noise in this case but it will never recover details.
TOPAZ AI SHARPEN includes a new function called STABILIZE that is different from a simple sharpening filter. It tries to find a movement on the photo and to cancel it. That's why sometimes there are small artifacts on the opposite side of the movement, but it is really easy to deal with them with GIMP or photoshop.
To conclude : this tool deserves a try as it is free for 30 days.
It is very usefull for animals in movement (birds in flight, animals running ...), but it can manage movement of the photographer too.

Tomb from the church of Näshult, which predates the current church (the church is from 1735 - the burial from 1572). And the photo lies a bit - the stone is placed in the floor, not standing up, but I liked the effect from this angle.
The man buried here is Nils Persson from Holma, of the noble Silfversparre family (Silfversparre is a description of the coat of arms which later was used as a family name, so if you look at the stone you can see that coat of arms, but the name Silfversparre isn't actually mentioned). Nils Persson was first mentioned in 1529 and had several important functions in the higher echelons of society - though they are hard to translate to English so I won't try. He died October 19 1572, at six in the afternoon (according to the stone). Nils Persson had acquired a lot of land in his life-time and he seems to have been rather ruthless - and he had actually killed a man in 1551. He had at least three children, including a daughter - who was also accused of murder. She was later executed, but not for that, but for treachery towards the king. You can't help but get the feeling that if you were important enough, back in the day, you really could get away with murder...

We used today to dive into the history of the Danish West Coast visiting the Tirpitz Museum in Blavand as well as the open air museum of Nymindegab. I can highly recommend both locations for people who love to learn more about the life of our ancestors in previous centuries. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark

This 18th century fort is located on the Manoel island. That is not what has given the fort its name, though - it is the other way around. Before the building of the fort, the island was known as l'Isola del Vescovo (in Italian, or il-Gżira tal-Isqof in Maltese - that is, the Bishop's island). Or just L'Isolotto (the Little Island).
The fort was built 1723-1733, in limestone, by the Order of St John, when António Manoel de Vilhena was Grand Master of the order (guess where the fort got its name from, then). It was actually in use up until 1964 - and was severely damaged by bombings during the Second World War. During the period 1970-2008 the fort was used by the Royal Malta Yacht Club. 2001-2009 saw the first phase of a renovation program for the fort, and the second one was begun in 2012.
