In Remembrance
Captured in May 2019 at the "Daks over Prestwick" event where 11 DC-3 Dakota and C-47 aircraft stopped over at Prestwick International Airport, Scotland, on their way to the D-Day 75th anniversary event in Normandy, France.
A few re-enactors were wandering around the event and I asked this fine fellow in US 82nd Airborne Division uniform to pose for a few shots in front of one of the beautiful Daks.
Remembering those that gave their lives to save us from tyranny and fascism in Europe and across the globe during two world wars.
Through memory, re-enactment and remembrance, we will never forget. They live on in us.
Lest we forget.
Something caught my eye as I walked alongside the lake.
It was one of those half-cloudy days where the sun was desperate to break through the cover. Just as it did, a slowly spinning leaf, suspended only by a fine line of spider's web, connected with its warm ray. All of those elements - the leaf, the spider's web, the sun, the timing - coming together were the enablers of my unique view that afternoon. I captured it in pixels as quickly as I could.
If you look very closely at the uppermost tip of the leaf, you can see a small thread of webbing. I liked how it was relatively well-lit when compared to it's grey-scale background, the lightly mottled and watercolour-like bokeh of the lake behind and then most of all the vast array of colours making up the composition of the leaf itself.
Sometimes it's the little things that make the difference.

Posed portrait of Stranger 75 in my 100 Strangers project, Kevin, who was providing a thematic presence at the "Daks over Normandy" ground display on their stop-over at Prestwick International Airport, Scotland.
A tinted black and white edit of my original portrait shot and Kevin was proud to receive the shots I took for him. I can feel a hint of 'nervousness' in this smile as if he were there, with the 82nd Airborne, about to embark upon the unknown on foreign soil. He is posing beside 'D-Day Doll', an aircraft that was a veteran of D-Day, Operation Market Garden, Bastogne and, post war, the Berlin Airlift.
Originally captured and edited in May 2019.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Polypedates otilophus (also known as the file-eared tree frog, Borneo eared frog, or bony-headed flying frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Borneo where it is widespread and found in Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia, typically in the lowlands but sometimes as high as 1,100 m (3,600 ft) above sea level. This species has prominent, sharp ridges behind the eye, above the ear, referred to in its names.
Description
Males measure up to 80 mm (3.1 in) and females up to 100 mm (3.9 in) in snout–vent length. The body is robust and dorsally lemon yellow in color, with many thin, black stripes; also the thighs have many black bars. The tympanum is conspicuous, with a serrated bony crest above it (the "ear"). Fingertips are expanded into large discs; those on the toes are smaller. The fingers have only rudimentary webbing whereas the toes are moderately webbed. The tadpoles are yellowish green above and white below, acquiring the stripes seen in adults well before metamorphosis. The largest tadpoles are 60 mm (2.4 in) in total length.
Habitat and conservation
Polypedates otilophus typically occurs in secondary habitats, at the edges of primary forest, and also in villages. They are most easily spotted at suitable breeding ponds where adults perch on vegetation 1–4 m above the ground. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
Location: Terengganu, Malaysia.

Synonym : Rhacophorus robinsonii
Malay name: Katak Terbang Robinson
Also known as Robinson's Tree Frog or Robinson's Treefrog
Found it a few days ago while taking a group of beginners out on a herping trip, I was pretty stoke to see this species.
Habitat: Subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and intermittent freshwater marshes.
Distribution: Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand.
Description: Leptomantis harrissoni is of medium size, with the female (up to 70 mm) larger than the male (> 50 mm). It inhabits lowland rainforests. It is a brown, rather unspectacular frog with fully developed dark hand webbing. The snout is angular and pointed. There are normally a few white dots on its snout and cheek.
Like all Rhacophorus family members, little is known about them, probably because it spends most of its life high up in the trees canopy. But occasionally it will descend lower to about 1-2 m (in this current sighting was about 2m) from ground level.
Reproduction: Eggs are deposited in a foam nest that is attached to the bark above a tree hole.
Threat: Habitat loss.

WHISTLING TREE FROG
Portrait of a magnificent male Australian Whistling Tree Frog (Litoria verreauxii) that I initially heard calling sporadically at dusk. The call was emanating from some sedges lining the driveway as I was walking the bins out to the front the other night. I went back inside and grabbed a torch. When I spotted him and saw his vivid colours and bold markings, I just couldn't resist a quick photo sesh with him in that light.

Particularités morphologiques:
Les yeux sont légèrement tournés vers l'avant et vers le bas, ce qui leur procure une large vision binoculaire sans désaxer la tête. Lors des plongées, les membranes nictitantes couvrent les yeux. Le bec conique est long et fort, pointu et sans crochet. Il est dépourvu de narines externes. Comme chez tous les oiseaux marins, il existe des glandes à sel pour évacuer le sel en excès dans l'organisme, ici par le bec.
Leurs pattes sont totipalmées, c'est à dire que la palmure englobe les 4 doigts. Elles sont souvent vivement colorées.
Ils peuvent plonger d'une grande hauteur (jusqu'à 40m) et pénétrer le milieu marin en profondeur (en moyenne 10-15 m, max. mesuré 35). La durée moyenne d'immersion est 5 à 10 secondes. Au moment de l'impact avec l'eau, les ailes sont complètement rabattues et tendues vers l'arrière dans l'axe du corps pour faciliter la pénétration en minimisant le choc.
Adaptation morphologique, des sacs aériens disposés en protection de la tête et de la poitrine amortissent aussi le choc avec l'eau et facilitent ensuite la remontée vers la surface.
Morphological characteristics:
The eyes are slightly turned forward and downward, which gives them a wide binocular vision without misaligning the head. When diving, the nictitating membranes cover the eyes. The conical beak is long and strong, pointed and without hook. It has no external nostrils. As in all seabirds, there are salt glands to evacuate excess salt in the body, here through the beak. Their legs are totipalmate, that is to say that the webbing includes the 4 fingers. They are often brightly colored.
They can dive from a great height (up to 40m) and penetrate the marine environment in depth (on average 10-15 m, max. measured 35). The average immersion time is 5 to 10 seconds. At the moment of impact with the water, the wings are completely folded and stretched backwards in line with the body to facilitate penetration by minimizing the shock.
Morphological adaptation, air sacs arranged to protect the head and chest also absorb the shock with the water and then facilitate the ascent to the surface.

(Ants) Rangrang or buffer (Oecophylla) is a rather large-sized ant that is known to have a high ability in forming webbing for its nest. In English he is called weaver ant or "weaver ant". Rangrang as many other ants are social insects and form colonies. Rangular colonies can be very high in population.

For those who must know (and you know who you are) this is a macro shot through the webbing on Rosa's greenhouse after a light rainfall (but I'm quite sure that doesn't really matter).
The fishing cat’s paws have webbing between the toes to help it swim and walk in muddy wetlands without sinking.
The little penguin (Eudyptula minor) is the smallest species of penguin. It grows to an average of 33 cm in height and 43 cm in length, though specific measurements vary by subspecies. It is found on the coastlines of southern Australia and New Zealand, with possible records from Chile. In Australia, they are often called fairy penguins because of their small size. Like those of all penguins, the little penguin's wings have developed into flippers used for swimming. The little penguin typically grows to between 30 and 33 cm tall and usually weighs about 1.5 kg on average. The head and upper parts are blue in colour, with slate-grey ear coverts fading to white underneath, from the chin to the belly. Their flippers are blue in colour. The dark grey-black beak is 3–4 cm long, the irises pale silvery- or bluish-grey or hazel, and the feet pink above with black soles and webbing. An immature individual will have a shorter bill and lighter upperparts. Like most seabirds, they have a long lifespan. The average for the species is 6.5 years, but flipper ringing experiments show in very exceptional cases up to 25 years in captivity. 32540
The greater racket-tailed drongo is a medium-sized Asian bird which is distinctive in having elongated outer tail feathers with webbing restricted to the tips. They are placed along with other drongos in the family Dicruridae.
Scientific name: Dicrurus paradiseus

Inside the tray, monarch caterpillars eat milkweed plant tops and leaves. The plant tops and leaves are placed in condiment cups that have holes punched in the lids so that the food stays fresh. I also use filtered water in the cups. Not that it lasts very long they caterpillars are hungry and get fresh food as needed throughout the day.
Although, the amount of caterpillars per tray can vary, I prefer to keep a limit of six per tray when the caterpillars are larger. The trays are cleaned as needed. They are certainly a mess first thing in the morning.
The trays can hold three cups comfortably but normally I only have two cups in a tray, that's usually enough to hold plenty of food for six cats.
The holes in the cups are punched from the top so if there are any sharp parts the cats don't have to deal with that.
Note: This method works very well for monarchs and queens but not so much for other types of caterpillars. Others simply don't have the amazing grip or webbing that monarchs and queens have. Although, some have successfully pupated on the tops of the tray lids, most are not able to do so. Therefore, I have other tricks for other types when raised in trays.
The cups are bleached, rinsed and dry completely after a the occupants have finished their journey before they are used again.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

Returning from fishing, a manu o ku serves up a breakfast of colorful, translucent larval fish to its nestling. The manu o Kū, bird of the war god Kū, catches fish and squid, often alternating heads and tails after multiple sequential captures. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching the bare branch.

We noticed lots of patches of webbing in the bushes at Hamworthy Beach , then saw warning signs on posts, lamposts, you name it. We also spoke with a number of passers - by who were local to the area. Apparently there's been an infestation of these in the area which was unheard of before. . Read more about them here...
Scenic pond in spring and customers. The Eurasian coot (Fulica atra), also known as the common coot, or Australian coot, is a member of the rail and crake bird family, the Rallidae. It is found in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. The Eurasian coot is 32–42 cm long and weighs 585–1,100 g, and is largely black except for the white frontal shield (which gave rise to the phrase as bald as a coot, in use as early as 1430). As a swimming species, the coot has partial webbing on its long strong toes. The juvenile is paler than the adult, has a whitish breast, and lacks the facial shield; the adult black plumage develops when about 3–4 months old, but the white shield is only fully developed at about one year old. This is a noisy bird with a wide repertoire of crackling, explosive, or trumpeting calls, often given at night. The coot breeds across much of the Old World on freshwater lakes and ponds. It occurs and breeds in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The species has recently expanded its range into New Zealand. It is resident in the milder parts of its range, but migrates further south and west from much of Asia in winter as the waters freeze. The Eurasian coot is much less secretive than most of the rail family, and can be seen swimming on open water or walking across waterside grasslands. It is an aggressive species, and strongly territorial during the breeding season, and both parents are involved in territorial defence. During the non-breeding season they may form large flocks, possibly related to predator avoidance.

Raindrops rest on a spider's web in a bush, forming an interesting pattern of drops, webbing, and leaves
This distinctive bird with its elongated outer tail feathers with webbing, cannot be mistaken for anything else. The tail with twirled rackets is distinctive in flight as well and it can appear as if two butterflies were chasing it. The nominate form is found in southern India, mainly in forested areas of the Western Ghats and the adjoining hill forests of peninsular India.
White naped Mangabey
Witkruinmangabey
Cercocebus lunulatus
This now distinct species is considered to have a geographic range east of the Sassandra River to the west of the Volta River in Ghana; Cercocebus lunulatus is also recorded as inhabiting forests in southwestern Burkina Faso and northeastern Ivory Coast. Cercocebus lunulatus is considered Endangered by the IUCN.
Mangabeys are some of the most rare and endangered monkeys on Earth. These large forest dwellers are found only in Africa. They look somewhat like guenons but are bigger. Local people call some of them "the ones with the thin waist" or "four-eyed monkeys," because some kinds of mangabeys have bright white eyelids.
All mangabeys have a tail that is longer than their body, providing balance for them as they scamper through the rain forest canopy.
Mangabeys can be golden brown, gray, dark brown, or soft black, depending on the species or subspecies, usually with a lighter color on the underbelly.
Mangabeys have some interesting ways of communicating with each other. It's often hard to see one another in the dense forest canopy, so sound is very important. In fact, mangabeys can be very noisy!
White is an important color when you need to get your point across. White-collared mangabeys use movements of their white-tipped tails to express themselves. White hair on the underside of the chin helps make other facial gestures more noticeable. For white-eyelid mangabeys, batting their eyelids and raising their eyebrows can have a whole range of meanings. Making these facial expressions and flashing their white eyelids against their darker fur help get the message across. Flashing eyelids can mean "warning—watch your step!"
Like most monkeys, mangabeys are very much at home in trees, spending most of their time there. However, white-eyelid mangabeys are also comfortable on the ground, traveling on their hands and feet between patches of forest or to forage in the leaf litter for tasty food items. In some areas of the forest, the ground is swampy, but that’s not a problem for mangabeys. Webbing between their fingers and toes helps these amazing monkeys swim!
All mangabeys are excellent jumpers, and gray-cheeked mangabeys and white-collared mangabeys have a tail that is strong enough to hook onto branches as they leap about the forest canopy.
Mangabeys are mainly fruit eaters, although they can also eat leaves, nuts, seeds, insects, and spiders. Powerful teeth and jaws help them crack hard nut shells or bite into thick-skinned fruits. Mangabeys also tear bark from trees using their teeth and hands to find bugs and spiders hiding underneath. Large cheek pouches act like a shopping cart: mangabeys fill their pouches with food until full! The biggest meal of the day for mangabeys is breakfast, and they start foraging for food in the early morning, often before the sun comes up.
Like many monkeys, mangabeys lick nectar from flowers, moving from tree to tree for this sweet feast, earning them status as pollinators as well as seed dispersers.
Mangabeys live in groups, called troops, of about 10 to 40 individuals, depending on the species and the availability of food and habitat. There is usually one adult male that acts as leader and the troop's defender, but sometimes larger troops have two or three adult males that split off with their own family units to forage for food. When there is plenty of food available, mangabey troops often gather together for a while and even exchange troop members.
Much like baboons, a female mangabey's buttocks swell when she is ready to breed. This is her visual signal to the adult males.
“As translucent as the webbing
of a duck's foot, just so,
the dragonfly altar-piece,
a membrane, illumined
by elsewhere's glow
that brims and glares,
is only fit to lid by vining,
and so embraces.
This ornament is an abrasion
encircling flares of lit hatching
that once again traverse it
like a fisher's net through water.
What of this weedy emanation
that adorns itself with braided stems,
viridescent now in summer
as its mossy gems glisten
with otherworldly gloss and shimmer.
This kneeling place is wet
with the possibility of immersion.
Like lines of rust upon the air,
their bodies emphatically
hyphenate the world, hovering
to describe arcs that enclose attention,
greening-in the supplicant to slip
further beneath the surface line.”

The ghostly webs covering specific trees in Orwell Country Park alerted me to the presence of these Small Ermine Moth caterpillars!
The webs hide hundreds and sometimes tens of thousands of caterpillars of the Small Ermine moths. In the UK there are eight species of Small Ermine Moths, but only the Orchard Ermine (Yponomeuta padella), Spindle Ermine (Y. cagnagella) and Bird-cherry Ermine (Y. evonymella) tend to produce such extensive webbing, the former mainly on blackthorn and hawthorn, the others on spindle and bird-cherry respectively.
The Bird-cherry Ermine tends to have a more northern distribution compared to the other two and occasionally whole trees can be covered by their webs, the leaves stripped bare giving the tree an eerie appearance. Sometimes these webs are so extensive that they can cover nearby objects such as benches, bicycles and gravestones.
This plastic quick release buckle is from my camera bag, when closed it is 1 inch long. I thought it would be more interesting if there was some contrast shown in the male part of the buckle itself.
