Toruń is one of most attractive and historic towns in Poland.
It is famous for being the birthplace ( in 1474 ) of the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus whose epochal book, De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium is universally regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy.
In 1997 the old medieval quarter of Toruń comprising the Old Town ( 1233 ), the New Town ( 1264 ) and the Teutonic Knights Castle ( mid 13th c. ) was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having preserved almost intact its original medieval street layout. Toruń is full of Gothic monuments of architecture, all built of brick, such as the Town Hall, The Leaning Tower, numerous churches and many burgher houses around the central market square and the surrounding streets.
If you ever are in Gdańsk on the coast, I recommend driving down to Toruń - it's only 2hrs away on the motorway - the place has a great artistic atmosphere and a lively cafe scene.
DAZZLINGLY ATTRACTIVE bird, not often seen in our corner of Kent UK, and was not expecting to see it in the Grove Ferry Feast Hide, but what a joy when it landed, he caught a couple of tiddlers and was off, leaving me with the biggest grin ever.

St Andrew’s stands attractively on higher ground just to the north of the village of Little Snoring*. It is one of Norfolk’s many round tower churches, the county contains some three quarters of those still standing in Britain
The tower - of the usual local flint and mortar construction and thought to be 11th Century Saxon - is an enigma because it is quite separate from the rest of the building.
A clearly visible filled in arch on the tower's east side suggests that a nave was once attached there but the reasons for that church’s subsequent demise are unknown. Was it actually finished? If not why? Was the current church contemporary - Elsewhere in Norfolk two churches are so close that they touch.
*There is also a Great Snoring which is actually the smaller village. ‘Snoring' derives’ from someone named Snear rather than any stentorian prowess of the locals..
An attractive small goose, nesting on Arctic coasts from northeastern Greenland east to Siberia, and wintering in northwestern Europe. Greenland birds may occasionally go off course and reach northeastern North America. However, this is a popular aviary bird, and most Barnacle Geese seen on this continent have probably escaped from captivity.

Crisp facial markings make the White-throated Sparrow an attractive bird as well as a hopping, flying anatomy lesson. There’s the black eye stripe, the white crown and supercilium, the yellow lore's, the white throat bordered by a black whisker, or malar stripe. They’re also a great entrée into the world of birdsong, with their pretty, wavering whistle of Oh-sweet-Canada. These forest sparrows breed mostly across Canada, but they’re familiar winter birds across most of eastern and southern North America and California.
Thanks to all my Flickr friends for viewing, commenting on and favoring my images.
This Lyonese bouchon looked very welcoming. We had just lunched in another bouchon, otherwise we would certainly have gone there.
The waiter said his establishment was the most authentic on the street, it made us desire to go into.
For people who do not know Lyon, a bouchon is a small typical restaurant where they serve in a convivial and simple atmosphere excellent local specialities such as Lyonese andouillette or pike dumplings.
They also serve wines of the region (Côte du Rhône, Coteaux du Lyonnais, Beaujolais, Mâconnais wines, ...) to go whith the meal.

Un menu alléchant
Ce bouchon Lyonnais avait l'air très accueillant. On venait de déjeuner dans un autre bouchon, sinon on y serait sûrement allé.
Le serveur m'a dit que son établissement était le plus authentique de la rue, cela faisait envie.
Pour les personnes ne connaissant pas Lyon, un bouchon est un petit restaurant typique où l'on sert dans une ambiance conviviale et simple les excellentes spécialités locales comme par exemple l'andouillette Lyonnaise ou les quenelles de brochet.
On y sert aussi les vins de la région (côte du Rhône, coteaux du Lyonnais, beaujolais , vins du Mâconnais, ....) pour accompagner le repas.

During courtship/bonding in the breeding season, male bee-eaters offer insect 'snacks' to females. Here on the branch are two males, left and middle (with the dragonfly) and the female to the right. Bothe sexes are alike with this species but females can often be separated from males by body size...but not always.
These migratory birds can be found as far north as Finland and as far south as South Africa, extending east into some Asiatic countries too. Most commonly, European Bee-eaters will breed and nest in southern Europe, then migrate south during autumn and winter.
European bee-eaters live for five to six years. The difficulties of migration and avoiding predators along the way affect every bird. Bee-eaters today also find it harder to find food, as there are fewer insects around as a result of pesticides.

Attractive chunky hawk of marshes and wetlands. Usually seen perched quietly near water, waiting to swoop down and snatch fish or frogs. Adult is distinctive, with mostly orange plumage and a whitish head (black collar is often hard to see). Immature is brownish overall, duller than the adult, but with a similar pattern. Note rather pale, dull pinkish legs and feet (yellow or orange on most other hawks). In flight looks very broad winged and short tailed.
New River, Belize. January 2011.
A very attractive female Common Kingfisher. Known in Ancient Greece as the Halcyon bird.
The name Halcyon itself comes from the Greek goddess, Alcyone who was married to Ceyx. According to legend the couple were happily married but made the mistake of calling each other Zeus and Hera, which angered the real god Zeus who in bad temper killed Ceyx by sinking his ship with a thunderbolt.
On hearing this, Alcyone, wrought with grief, threw herself into the sea and drowned. Out of compassion, however, the gods later changed them both into beautiful flashing blue halcyon birds named after her and recognised in the kingfisher’s scientific name of Alcedo, after Alcyone.
Walking back to the car after shooting the cormorants, several sparrows were making a racket while they were part of a mixed group of juncos and bushtits. A Red-winged Blackbird was also watching the ruckus and the parking lot as well… This finely decked out and calling, male sparrow let me photograph him!

Mit einem sehr schönen und zur Lok guten Kontrast bietenden Containerzug nach Wolfurt war die damals nagelneu beklebte 186 941 "Attracktive Forces" der LTE unterwegs. Kurz vor erreichen des Bahnhofes Treuchtlingen, konnte der Zug in einer kleinen Sonnelücke von den 3 Fotografen festgehalten werden.
A colorful, attractive and very active small bird found in plenty in the himalayan forests. We sighted these on the slopes when we stopped stopped to grab a coffee. The colors on the bird are amazing and like a painting. It was a delight watching it play around.
The birds are social creatures and always found in flocks. They are also quite shy and vary of the larger birds around. Magpies, Pheasants, Treepies and even a few Laughingthrushes made them dart off into the cover. I guess their small size means lot more precautions are needed.
Again, these are exclusive to the Himalayan belt within India though found much of Southern China and Parts of South East Asia.
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback - much appreciated.

With the Cassin's Finches, and Trashers, this Robin was one of about 40 birds moving down an arroyo slope through the bottom and then up the other side towards me where I sat just before entering the Abo Pueblo ruins...
