...from Went Hill, Sussex, England. Appropriately enough belle toute means "Everything Beautiful" in French. However the lighthouse name is actually thought to have originated from the Saxon words 'Bel', which is the name of an early pagan deity and 'Toot' for 'Lookout' The lighthouse was moved to it's current position in 1999 to stop it falling into the sea due to coastal erosion. Which is good as this image would not quite be the same...
Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) female
Hopefully in the next few days I will get out to get some new images. I believe the there are at least two chicks in Belle and Bronson's nest, thanks to David (www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry ) for the heads up.
Happy Wing Wednesday!

Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) female
David J www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry had recently tipped me off that Belle and Bronson had a nest on the go, at the other end of the disused section of Sneydes Rd. That was the main reason for my wander today. At first I couldn't locate them but heard the squawk of a juvenile so waited a while. Bronson had been out hunting and brought back a mouse for Belle. She then went to a tree near the nest site to dine. You can see she is holding the mouse here.

Suedbahnhotel Semmering, Semmering, Austria
"The original Suedbahnhotel Semmering (also called “Hotel Semmering” or “First Suedbahnhotel”) was the 1st Hotel am Semmering at all and was opened in 1882 at the foot of Pinkenkogel Mountain–at precisely 1000 m above sea level. The Suedbahnhotel am Semmering was one of several grand hotels along the Suedbahn route from Vienna to Triest which were commissioned in order to stimulate the tourism in the respective regions and also the Suedbahn route from the privileged K. u. k. Suedbahngesellschaft. Semmering was already easy to reach at this time through the pioneering accomplishment of the Semmering Railways and was consequently expanded to create a popular holiday and spa resort. Semmering was popular with Viennese society as well as with the multi-national guests from all levels of the royal monarchy. Fin de Siècle and Belle Époche are two eras at the end of the 19th century and/or at the beginning of the 20th century which were characteristic for the Suedbahnhotel Semmering, but not just from social-political and sports history perspectives. A section of the Austrian tourism history also had its start here.
Currently, the opportunity exists to acquire the fairy-tale and spaciously-constructed “Second Suedbahnhotel” in order to be able to continue to develop it with a corresponding usage concept and to be able to sustainably preserve a unique architectural jewel. The Suedbahnhotel Semmering is by no means dead: It is merely sleeping and waiting to be kissed to be awakened..."
