Hommel in actie op passiebloem
Het verhaal gaat dat de passiebloem zich op Golgotha om het kruis van Christus heeft gewonden. Maar dat is praktisch onmogelijk, omdat passiebloemen pas in de zestiende eeuw in Zuid-Amerika zijn ontdekt. De legende is hoogstwaarschijnlijk verzonnen door Spaanse missionarissen, die de vreemde vormen in de forse bloemen dankbaar hebben aangegrepen om er het kruisigingsverhaal van Jezus Christus mee te illustreren.

Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel
Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]
In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.
Beschreibung
Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.
Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.
Eurasian curlew
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew
The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.
This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.
The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.
The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".
The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.
the osprey are nesting in the same nest again now so I'm excited. I will go back periodically and check on them and take photos. And thankfully now, I won't be lugging a toddler size lens and a tripod. Yah!!! I love this much smaller size and lighter weight equipment!
I go see my ortho doc this morning and hopefully won't have to wear my cast anymore. Things are healing well. Let's hope that's what the ex-ray will show. I'll catch up with you all later! ❤️
The word sail, a monument to poetry, is the name of a steel sculpture by Heinrich Popp.
The sculpture stands on an open field northwest of Sotzweiler, the birthplace of the sculptor and today a district of the Saarland municipality of Tholey in the district of St. Wendel. On an elevation of about 338 metres above NHN, the sculpture represents a landmark visible from afar.
The word sail consists of two sail-shaped triangles, one of which stands on the top and which are twisted against each other. The two halves of the sail, made of stainless steel, are welded together at their highest point. At the same time, the empty space between the two steel plates also has a sail-like shape, depending on the point of view.
The monument, a gift from Heinrich Popp to his home community, was erected in 2005 after several years of planning and execution. The two steel plates were cast in the Dillinger Hütte and rolled to a thickness of 3 cm. The sculpture has a height of 13 meters and a total weight of approx. 30 tons.
The term word sail is also the name of a writing and poetry competition initiated by the artist at participating schools in Saarland.

Das Wortsegel, ein Denkmal für Poesie, ist der Name einer Stahlplastik von Heinrich Popp.
Die Skulptur steht auf offenem Feld nordwestlich von Sotzweiler, dem Geburtsort des Bildhauers und heute ein Ortsteil der saarländischen Gemeinde Tholey im Landkreis St. Wendel. Auf einer Anhöhe von etwa 338 Metern über NHN stellt die Plastik eine weithin sichtbare Landmarke dar.
Das Wortsegel besteht aus zwei jeweils segelförmigen Dreiecken, von denen eins auf der Spitze steht und die gegeneinander verdreht/verspiegelt aufgestellt sind. An ihrer obersten Stelle sind die beiden aus rostendem Stahl erschaffenen Segelhälften miteinander verschweißt. Gleichzeitig besitzt auch der sich zwischen den beiden Stahlplatten befindende leere Raum abhängig vom Betrachtungsstandpunkt ebenfalls eine segelähnliche Form.
Das Denkmal, ein Geschenk von Heinrich Popp an seine Heimatgemeinde, wurde nach mehrjähriger Planungs- und Ausführungsphase 2005 errichtet. Die beiden Stahlplatten wurden in der Dillinger Hütte gegossen und bis auf eine Stärke von 3 cm gewalzt. Die Skulptur hat eine Höhe von 13 Metern und besitzt ein Gesamtgewicht von ca. 30 Tonnen
Der Begriff Wortsegel ist gleichzeitig der Name eines von dem Künstler ins Leben gerufenen Schreib- und Lyrikwettbewerbs an teilnehmenden Schulen im Saarland.

The 2020 Ferrari 812 Superfast is an example of what happens when an automaker commits to crafting a vehicle that offers the best performance money can buy. With almost 800 horses under the hood, this coupe provides brutish power, facilitating a zero-to-60-mph sprint that clocks in at less than three seconds. Fuel economy is poor, and the 812 Superfast's $330,000-plus price makes it accessible only to the very privileged few. Still, if you have deep pockets and a thirst for spectacular handling, this skilled Ferrari won't disappoint.
Ferrari's 812 Superfast gets its muscle from a 6.5-liter V-12 powerplant, and this engine delivers a bracing 788 horsepower and 529 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. The 812 Superfast holds a place among the quickest of the quick. In our track tests, it sprinted from zero to 60 mph in a scant 2.8 seconds. That's a dazzling performance, but it trails that of the McLaren 720S. That car made the run in just 2.7 seconds. Handling is nimble, especially when you consider this Ferrari's relatively hefty curb weight. The engine note is mellifluous, and the car's brakes are potent enough to bring this beast to a quick and decisive standstill.
Thanks to Car And Driver for the above.

Splendid Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus splendens
Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.
Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.
Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.
Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.
Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.
Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.
Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.
Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.
Minimum Size: 12cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 13cm
Average weight: 9g
Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April
Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3
Incubation: 15 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

The mountain gorilla is the largest of the primates, with an average weight of 140-180 kg for males and 100-130 kg for females. They have a characteristic stripe of thick, dense black hair on the head, neck and torso, where it is longest and looks like a coat or spots that can be silvery.
Always very grateful for your visits, comments and favorites.
Formidable apex aerial predators and winter migrants to South Asia. These are large birds of prey with a range much of Europe and Asia. Almost 70 cm in height and around 2-2.5 kgs in weight, this is a large eagle. Like every other large eagles, this too is a sluggish hunter that tries to conserve its energy while hunting.
Shot this in the Nilgiri's forest (on a 4 day trip) - a large Mega reserve of Tigers, Elephants, Bears, Leopards, Hyenas and other animals. Its a thick forest and one that has plenty of reports of human / animal conflict. Walking around for birds is a scary challenge. We shot this bird near a dumpyard where there were several species of Eagles - around 20-25 of them and another 10-20 Kites. The light was great and the setting beautiful. But our guide was nervous about straying far away from the vehicle since it is a tiger area and tigers are frequently sighted there.
There were about 8-10 of these GSE's perched on trees for a long time in the morning fog before we saw some action. And they continued to sit still after this brief action. As the day became too hot and light was harsh, we moved on.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback. Very much appreciated.
Only one picture captured from my camera, I do not do several clicks.
The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.
Males are 38 to 58 cm (15 to 23 in) long and weigh on average 550 g (1.21 lb). Females are slightly larger at 47 to 61 cm (19 to 24 in) in length and a mean weight of 700 g (1.5 lb). The wingspan can range from 90 to 127 cm (35 to 50 in). Adult birds can vary in mass from 460 to 930 g (1.01 to 2.05 lb). Among standard measurements, the wing bone is 28–35 cm (11–14 in) long, the tail is 16–24 cm (6.3–9.4 in) long and the tarsus is 7.5–9 cm (3.0–3.5 in).[6] Adults have brownish heads, reddish chests, and pale bellies with reddish bars. Their tails, which are quite long by Buteo standards, are marked with narrow white bars. Red "shoulders" are visible when the birds are perched. These hawks' upper parts are dark with pale spots and they have long yellow legs. Western birds may appear more red, while Florida birds are generally paler. The wings of adults are more heavily barred on the upper side. Juvenile red-shouldered hawks are most likely to be confused with juvenile broad-winged hawks, but can be distinguished by their long tails, crescent-like wing markings, and a more flapping, Accipiter-like flight style. In direct comparison, it is typically larger and longer proportioned than the Broad-wing, though is slightly smaller and more slender than most other common North American Buteos. This bird is sometimes also confused with the widespread red-tailed hawk. That species is larger and bulkier, with more even-sized, broad wings and is paler underneath, with a reddish tail often apparent. The Red-tail is also more likely to soar steadily, with wings in a slight dihedral.

With this colorful photo, which was deliberately taken with this motion blur, I wish you all a wonderful Poppy-Monday and of course the rest of the week.
We can see a lot of ourselves by looking at the poppy flowers and grasses moving back and forth in the summer wind.
As a rule, we too are firmly anchored to the earth, even if only because of our personal values. Each of us has something within us that is immovable. No matter what is happening around and no matter how much the wind of life pulls and shakes us. We shape these values ourselves. Based on the experiences we have in our lives. The strongest of them usually come from our childhood.
Most of the time, these roots serve our protection and stability. With them we are able to withstand even the harshest storms, to stand against the wind or, if necessary, to bend to it at times. Thanks to the anchor, we always stay where and who we are despite everything and are able to pick ourselves up again and again.
But sometimes we realize that our values, or rather the way we weight them, prevent us from developing ourselves. That we are trying to bloom in the wrong place, so to speak. Then it is up to us (because no one else can do this for us) to change our anchor point.
The key is always to be aware or make ourselves aware of what makes us flourish and what makes us wither.
And so I wish you all a stable and at the same time dynamic week. With lots of sun and fresh wind.
Mit diesem farbenfrohen Foto, welches bewusst mit dieser Bewegungsunschärfe fotografiert wurde, wünsche ich Euch allen einen wunderschönen Mo(h)ntag und natürlich auch eine ebensolche Restwoche.
Durch den Anblick die Mohnblüten und Gräser, die sich im Sommerwind hin und her bewegen, können wir viel von uns selbst erkennen.
Auch wir stehen, in der Regel, fest verankert auf der Erde und sei es auch nur auf Grund unserer persönlichen Werte. Jeder von uns trägt etwas in sich, was unverrrückbar ist. Ganz gleich was um und herum geschieht und ganz gleich wie sehr der Wind des Lebens an uns zieht und rüttelt. Diese Werte prägen wir selbst. Und zwar auf Grund der Erfahrungen, die wir in unserem Leben machen. Wobei die stärksten davon meist aus unserer Kindheit stammen.
Meist dienen diese Wurzeln unserem Schutz und unserer Stabilität. Mit Ihnen sind wir in der Lage auch härtesten Stürmen zu trotzden, uns dem Wind entgegen zu stellen oder uns ihm, wenn erforderlich, auch zeitweise beugen. Durch den Anker bleiben wir trotz Allem immer wo und wer wir sind und sind in der Lage uns immer wieder aufzurichten.
Doch manchmal stellen wir fest, das unsere Werte oder besser gesagt die Art, wie wir sie gewichten, uns an der eigenen Entfaltung hindern. Das wir sozusagen am falschen Ort versuchen zu blühen. Dann liegt es an uns (denn kein anderer kann dies für uns tun) unseren Ankerpunkt zu verändern.
Das Entscheidende dabei ist immer, sich bewusst zu sein oder sich bewusst zu machen, was uns blühen und was uns welken lässt.
Und so wünsche ich Euch allen eine stabile und gleichzeitig dynamische Woche. Mit viel Sonne und frischen Wind.

Sacred Kingfisher
Scientific Name: Todiramphus sanctus
Description: The Sacred Kingfisher is a medium sized kingfisher. It has a turquoise back, turquoise blue rump and tail, buff-white underparts and a broad cream collar. There is a broad black eye stripe extending from bill to nape of neck. Both sexes are similar, although the female is generally lighter with duller upper parts. Young birds are similar to the female, but have varying amounts of rusty-brown edging to feathers on the collar and underparts, and buff edges on the wing coverts.
Distribution: The Sacred Kingfisher is common and familiar throughout the coastal regions of mainland Australia and less common throughout Tasmania. The species is also found on islands from Australasia to Indonesia and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Sacred Kingfisher inhabits woodlands, mangroves and paperbark forests, tall open eucalypt forest and melaleuca forest.
Seasonal movements: In Australia, Sacred Kingfishers spend the winter in the north of their range and return south in the spring to breed.
Feeding: Sacred Kingfishers forage mainly on the land, only occasionally capturing prey in the water. They feed on crustaceans, reptiles, insects and their larvae and, infrequently, fish. The birds perch on low exposed branch on the lookout for prey. Once prey is located, the Sacred Kingfisher swoops down and grasps it in its bill, returning to the perch to eat it.
Breeding: For most of the year Sacred Kingfishers are mainly solitary, pairing only for the breeding season. Usually two clutches are laid in a season. Both sexes excavate the nest, which is normally a burrow in a termite mound, hollow branch or river bank. The nest chamber is unlined and can be up to 20m above the ground. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young.
Calls: The voice of the Sacred Kingfisher is a loud "ek ek ek ek" repeated continuously throughout breeding season. Birds also give a "kee kee kee" in excitement and a series of chirring, scolding notes when alarmed.
Minimum Size: 19cm
Maximum Size: 24cm
Average size: 21cm
Average weight: 45g
Breeding season: September to December; occasionally extended to March, if conditions are favourable.
Clutch Size: 3 to 6
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Macro Mondays: Photographic equipment
My husband has recently started to work on his old HO train set ... new figures, lights, etc. including this tiny tripod ... couldn't resist putting it on top of mine for this challenge ... 'tho it meant I couldn't use my tripod :))
It's another changeable day today, we're hoping to do some butterfly transects this afternoon but we need a bit of sun . We'll see. I had a lovely meal last night with June, and had some orchids potted by her, so my collection is growing. Weights and measures is by Dry The River.

Accepted 2019 APS National Exhibition Nature Birds in Action Section
White-bellied Sea-Eagle
Scientific Name: Haliaeetus leucogaster
Description: The White-bellied Sea-Eagle has white on the head, rump and underparts and dark grey on the back and wings. In flight the black flight feathers on the wings are easily seen when the bird is viewed from below. The large, hooked bill is grey with a darker tip, and the eye is dark brown. The legs and feet are cream-white, with long black talons (claws). The sexes are similar. As in other raptors (birds of prey), Males (2.5 kg - 3.7 kg) are slightly smaller than females (2.8 kg - 4.2 kg).The wingspan is about 1.8 m - 2 m. Young Sea-Eagles are brown as juveniles than slowly become to resemble adults in a patchwork manner, acquiring the complete adult plumage by their fourth year.
Similar species: The White-bellied Sea-Eagle is the second largest raptor (bird of prey) found in Australia. The largest is the Wedge-tailed Eagle, Aquila audax, which stands up to 1 m tall. The Wedge-tailed Eagle is mostly brown, with a wedge-shaped tail. Young Sea-Eagles may be confused with the Wedge-tailed Eagle, but differ in having a paler head and tail and more steeply upswept wings when soaring.
Distribution: White-bellied Sea-Eagles are a common sight in coastal and near coastal areas of Australia. In addition to Australia, the species is found in New Guinea, Indonesia, China, south-east Asia and India
Habitat: White-bellied Sea-Eagles are normally seen perched high in a tree, or soaring over waterways and adjacent land. Birds form permanent pairs that inhabit territories throughout the year.
Feeding: The White-bellied Sea-Eagle feeds mainly off aquatic animals, such as fish, turtles and sea snakes, but it takes birds and mammals as well. It is a skilled hunter, and will attack prey up to the size of a swan. Sea-Eagles also feed on carrion (dead prey) such as sheep and fish along the waterline. They harass smaller birds, forcing them to drop any food that they are carrying. Sea-Eagles feed alone, in pairs or in family groups.
Breeding: White-bellied Sea-Eagles build a large stick nest, which is used for many seasons in succession. The nest can be located in a tree up to 30m above the ground, but may also be placed on the ground or on rocks, where there are no suitable trees. At the start of the breeding season, the nest is lined with fresh green leaves and twigs. The female carries out most of the incubation of the white eggs, but the male performs this duty from time to time.
Calls: Distinctive loud "goose-like" honking call, which is heard particularly during the breeding season.
Minimum Size: 75cm
Maximum Size: 85cm
Average size: 80cm
Average weight: 2 630g
Breeding season: May to October
Clutch Size: Two.

The female on the left is probably wondering what is going on as the one vertical twig is almost horizontal under the weight of Bearded Tits. Shortly after this shot the male on the far right took off and the twig then rebounded (slowly) dislodging the rest of the group.
Have never seen this activity before and was made up for the rest of the morning as a result.
I saw this male bear several times while staying in Finland last summer, and every time he made a big impression, especially when appearing from behind a tree; I was extremely glad to be in a secure hide. The guides reckoned he was approximately 450kg, which is 5 times my weight. Individuals have been recorded at a whopping 650kg; the mind boggles. He was a relatively recent visitor to the area, and they thought he was fairly relaxed, but they did not want to meet him in the forest on foot!

11. My dad killed himself by hanging when I was 25 years old. My families were really broken heart, especially my mom was filled with hurt feelings because she found him. Fortunately, I had my hubby and many many good friends. They picked up the pieces of my broken heart.
12. I moved to Tokyo in 2000 because my hubby had lived in there for work. It was painful choice to me. Because my hubby has already kept waiting for me for even 3 and a half years. But one thing I'm always worried about is my mom. However fortunately, I have sister and brother. So I moved to Tokyo, anyway.
Also my most favorite band named Blankey Jet City has dissolved in 2000. I've never loved any band like them before, and I guess I will never love any bands like them in the future. I still miss them so much.
13. As you can see, I've been crazy about music since I was a child. The music changed my life. The music of Japanese idol, Pops, Rock'n Roll, etc... And I met a lot of good friends, especially when I was in my late teens to my early twenties, and they still keep friends with me.
14. I got some jobs in Tokyo. The desk work in music office, waitress in cafe etc. Sometimes, I had tried to make both ends meet by working two jobs. Yes, Tokyo is too hard to live. And then, I got a desk work in software company. I worked for 6 years and half. Now, I'm looking for a job. Suitable job? Stimulating work? Job suitable to my ability? I still don't know what I can do though, what I want to do.....
15. I met with Blythe in 2006. I had known Blythe since before though it was the first time to know they were able to custom. I saw "Hedwig Blythe" on TIB, and then I thought "Ohhhh!!! We can custom them??? I want to try it!!!". My first Blythe were Samedi Marche Encore and Excellent Hollywood. Of course, my first custom was Hedwig.
16. I joined to MySpace in 2007. Because I wanted to find some doll friends in overseas, Japanese doll circles were looks oversaturated, segmentalized, too much mature. So I wanted to find some overseas friends. Unfortunately, I can't login to MySpace now because I forgot password and which email address I added it..... LOL.
Happily, I have flickr account, so my circle of doll friends are getting bigger and bigger! You're my treasures!!!
Thank you for reading til the end!
I tag anyone and everyone who wants to do this!
Last but not least(it's 17 things, lol), I got married after dating for 13 years in 2006!!
The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long, 85–95 cm (33–37 in) in shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long, 75–85 cm (30–33 in) in shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight. The largest bucks may measure 190 cm (75 in) long and weigh 150 kg (330 lb).[4] Fawns are born in spring around 30 cm (12 in) and weigh around 4.5 kg (10 lb). Their lifespan is around 12–16 years.
Much variation occurs in the coat colour of the species, with four main variants: common, menil, melanistic, and leucistic – a genuine colour variety, not albinistic.[5] The white is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, sometimes even black (easily confused with the sika deer).
Common: Chestnut coat with white mottles, it is most pronounced in summer with a much darker, unspotted coat in the winter. The light-coloured area around the tail is edged with black. The tail is light with a black stripe.
