This melodic warbler is widely distributed across Britain & Ireland through the breeding season, and increasingly in winter too.
Blackcap breeding numbers have steadily increased in the UK since the late-1970s, and have also expanded their breeding range throughout northern Scotland and the island of Ireland during this time. They are now absent only on the highest Scottish peaks and farthest flung islands. In autumn, these breeding birds depart for southern Europe and are replaced by Blackcaps from central Europe. BTO research has helped show how garden bird feeding led to the evolution of this new migratory route and wintering strategy. Although widespread in winter, Blackcaps tend to be absent from the uplands at this time of year.
Blackcaps have a greyish overall appearance. The eponymous black cap is only found in the males; females and juveniles have a brown cap instead. The song is very similar to that of the Garden Warbler, but can be distinguished with practice. Blackcaps are found in parks, deciduous woodland and scrub, as well as at garden feeding stations.
The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures depicting kelpies (shape-shifting water spirits), located between Falkirk and Grangemouth, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. Towering above the Forth & Clyde Canal, The Kelpies are a feat of engineering, each made with 300 tonnes of structural steel; a steel frame with stainless steel cladding. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013 to form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal. The Kelpies are a monument to horse-powered heritage across Scotland.
This is the Clydesdale horse named Baron.

National Trust Properties
Waddesdon Manor, Aylesbury, HP18 0LH, Buckinghamshire
Waddesdon Manor
Built between 1874 – 1889 in the Neo-renaissance style for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Waddesdon Manor stayed within the family until 1957.
When the last owner died (James de Rothschild), it was passed over to the National Trust, the Manor and its contents and is now managed by the Rothschild Foundation.
Ferdinand de Rothschild wanted a beautiful building and had in mind a chateau familiar with those built in the Loire Valley. He chose the French architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur to do the work. Destailleur was already familiar with the type of work, as he had overseen many projects, including the Chateau de Mouchy. He also worked for another member of the De Rothschild family, namely Baron Albert de Rothschild on his Palais Rothschild in Vienna.
The wine cellars are interesting in that it contains the best of 15,000 bottles, some over 150 years old and come from the Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Mouton Rothschild estates. It is the largest collection in the world of Rothschild wines, it also has some very important labels created by artists such as Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol.
The works of art inside the house of the very best quality, artists such as, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Boucher, Cuyp, Van Dyck, Titan and many others. Sevres ceramics, Beauvais Tapestries, first quality English Silver, carpets, books the list unending.
the French Landscape Gardiner Elie Laine. Extensive levelling of the hill was carried out, the Gardens and parks were laid out and an attempt was made to grow full length trees using chloroform to decrease the shock of moving the trees and planting them, however there are many trees in the parks and gardens that were successfully planted. Trees such as Yews, cedar, redwoods and other conifers, chestnuts, limes and maples are all successfully well bedded in.
During the reign of James de Rothschild the gardens were not the most spectacular however from the 1990’s a more up to date, using computer software for many of the colour combinations and in the gardens are many lovely statues by such sculptors as, Italian Sculptors Giuliano Mozani and Filippo Parodi, French sculptor, Jean Raon, to name but a few.
In my opinion, a great House and Garden to visit, teas and a scone well worth the wait.
Finally there have been many films made there. Here are a few examples:
Never Say Never Again
Carry On “Don’t Lose Your Head”
Ladies in Lavender
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
In 2018 there were approx. 465,000 visitors to the Manor, and was the largest visitor attraction anywhere in all of the National Trust Properties.

The Cape Barren goose (Cereopsis novaehollandiae) is a large goose found in southern Australia. The species is named for Cape Baron Island, where specimens were first sighted by European explorers.
They are one of the rarest of the world's geese. Cape Baron Geese are gregarious outside the breeding season, when they wander widely and form small flocks. Their ability to drink salt or brackish water allows numbers of geese to remain on offshore islands all year round.
Thank you very much for collaboration in the my special amazing Picture.

The Baron's Hall. This hall was originally much taller, but the floor, doors & fireplaces were raised when the entrance hall below was remodelled in the 17th Century.
While traveling to Lethbridge with a friend we ran into this Canadian duo pulling the southbound Aldersyde manifest. A foreman can be seen at the crossing as both him and the train were waiting for a northbound local to arrive.
A pair of ES44ACs from the former Kansas City Southern fleet lead northbound CPKC manifest train M263 through the rolling hills of eastern Oklahoma near the community of Baron on a cool Saturday, June 17th, 2023 morning. As the sun is just coming over the horizon in front of the train, a bit of fog hangs in the valley behind over Baron Fork - a tributary of the Illinois River.

Thanks for your visit and have a lovely weekend.
I've been on the lookout for cars and trucks used as billboards, and it was hard to miss this one in Afton, Wyoming advertising the Red Baron drive-in. Can you imagine dragging Main St on Saturday night in that hot Chevy, or maybe its a Pontiac? This drive-in still has car hops to take your order and bring your burgers and shakes to the car.

Ninth build in my Iron Builder round against Eann just 1 red cauldron (y'all I'm running out XD).
Also, naturally, a vignweek day four build. Revamp of set 10024. The baron was on my list of IB builds but I had no idea the set existed. Figured I'd do a google search anyways but with zero expectations, so it felt exciting to find it.
Clouds here were really fun, loved getting some mileage out of these technic panels. More angles will be on Insta soon(ish). It's definitely not minifigure scale by the way, you can take my word for that. But a minifigure can sit in it because why not (however, he can also stand by the side and look cool, how's that for a compromise).

Smile on Saturday: Funny Art
"The satirical portrait bust of the court jester Johann Gottfried Tuscheer (born as Johann Gottfried Graf), better known as Baron Schmiedel or Postmaster Schmiedel, was one of the last royal commissions for the Japanese Palace of Augustus the Strong, King of Poland (ruled 1694-1733) and Elector of Saxony. The Japanese Palace was a lavish structure in Dresden refurbished to house both the fabulous royal collection of East Asian porcelains and the amazing new products of the Royal Saxon Porcelain Manufactory in Meissen near Dresden in Germany. Established in 1710, following re-discovery of secret Chinese porcelain formula by the King's imprisoned alchemist Johann Joachim Böttger, Meissen was Europe's first factory to make true or hard-paste porcelain. By the mid 1730s, the factory had been able to make monumental animal sculptures, apostle figures and even architectural elements alongside their exquisitely painted vases and tableware.
The bust was modelled by Johann Joachim Kändler (1706-75), the court 'Modellmeister' (master modeller) who worked at the Meissen manufactory from 1731 until his death in 1775. The bust was ordered by Augustus III, Augustus the Strong's son and successor. The medallion on Schmiedel's chest is based on one of Augustus' coronation medals.
A highly talented individual who delighted in dressing in the latest fashions, Schmiedel was one of two most prominent jesters at the Saxon court at the time. His role as a jester involved attending the kings in their dressing rooms, at dinners and even at the most intimate court gatherings. He kept company with the kings on visits and hunting expeditions, always ready to crack a joke, exchange witty badinage or play magic tricks with mice while pretendig to have morbid fear of rodents. Schmiedel was rewarded with numerous 'titles' and valuable presents including Meissen porcelain.
The Schmiedel bust was discovered in Sydney in 1949 by the noted Sydney antique dealer William Bradshaw at a time when its importance and history had been long forgotten. It was acquired by the Museum in 1951. One of the most important objects in the Powerhouse Museum's collection of ceramics, it is one of only four surviving the the world."

Once the northbound local had arrived, 469 began to creep forward to the south siding switch. Gotta love warm weather and no snow in January.
Macho de camachuelo, una especie que tengo que buscar viajando al norte. Obtuve la imagen en febrero del año pasado en mi visita a un hide de aves invernantes por tierras de Álava. Una buena sesión con nevadas intermitentes todo el día y muy concurrida en especies, con un escenario que se presta a adaptar al gusto personal de cada uno, como así hice.
La mayor dificultad de la foto fue tratar de fotografiar al camachuelo en los escasos instantes en que tomaba este posadero. La he recortado a formato 4:3, ajustando por la derecha, para llevar la ramilla a la esquina.
