Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Afrikaanderwijk, Afrikaanderplein, Biological garden (slightly cut from B)
In the middle of the high density Afriaanderwijk is the Biological garden of the quarter. About this garden, by the organization behind the garden:
“Come by for a visit to our special garden: in the middle of the city and yet an oasis. You will find native and exotic plants, original inhabitants and newcomers who feel at home in our climate. Discover our special collection of so-called 'Rotterdam plants': plants that have been blown in and now have a safe place in our garden. Never seen a Mandragora or Black Blue Rapunzel? Come by and let us tell their story.
We are committed to preserving biodiversity. This is important because in the stony environment of the city there is less and less space for plants and insects. Together with other Rotterdam parties such as the Natural History Museum, Arboretum Trompenburg, Diergaarde Blijdorp, Stadskwekerij de Kas, Rotterdamse Munt, Stichting Natuurstad and Stichting Steensoep, we have united in the Public Platform for Biodiversity. We want to tell Rotterdammers - adults and children - more about biodiversity and the ecosystem in the city and why it is important that we, as people, live together with plants and animals.”
This is number 183 of Land-, sea-, river-, mountain-, and agriscapes & assorted green.

I believe this is a stripe tailed hummingbird, seen in the Monteverde Biological Reserve, Costa Rica. Shot with an iPhone through our guide's spotting telescope.
Stretching in an arc over 3,000 kilometers of northern Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and the northwestern and northeastern states of India and southwestern Tibet, the Himalaya hotspot includes all of the world's mountain peaks higher than 8,000 meters. This includes the world's highest mountain, Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) as well as several of the world's deepest river gorges.

The hummingbirds in Costa Rica were one of the highlights for me. This White-crested Coquette was one of the most endearing. I was looking for insects in the pollinator garden and was rewarded with this little fellow flying in and feeding for a long time. It was also quite tame :) Las Cruces Biological Station

Kestrel - Falco tinnunculus (M)
The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In Britain, where no other kestrel species occurs, it is generally just called "the kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America.
Kestrels can hover in still air, even indoors in barns. Because they face towards any slight wind when hovering, the common kestrel is called a "windhover" in some areas.
Unusual for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as is usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to fill different feeding niches over their home range. Kestrels are bold and have adapted well to human encroachment, nesting in buildings and hunting by major roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other species.
Their plumage is mainly light chestnut brown with blackish spots on the upperside and buff with narrow blackish streaks on the underside; the remiges are also blackish. Unlike most raptors, they display sexual colour dimorphism with the male having fewer black spots and streaks, as well as a blue-grey cap and tail. The tail is brown with black bars in females, and has a black tip with a narrow white rim in both sexes. All common kestrels have a prominent black malar stripe like their closest relatives.
The cere, feet, and a narrow ring around the eye are bright yellow; the toenails, bill and iris are dark. Juveniles look like adult females, but the underside streaks are wider; the yellow of their bare parts is paler. Hatchlings are covered in white down feathers, changing to a buff-grey second down coat before they grow their first true plumage.
Data from Britain shows nesting pairs bringing up about 2–3 chicks on average, though this includes a considerable rate of total brood failures; actually, few pairs that do manage to fledge offspring raise less than 3 or 4. Compared to their siblings, first-hatched chicks have greater survival and recruitment probability, thought to be due to the first-hatched chicks obtaining a higher body condition when in the nest. Population cycles of prey, particularly voles, have a considerable influence on breeding success. Most common kestrels die before they reach 2 years of age; mortality up until the first birthday may be as high as 70%. At least females generally breed at one year of age; possibly, some males take a year longer to maturity as they do in related species. The biological lifespan to death from senescence can be 16 years or more, however; one was recorded to have lived almost 24 years.

Tradescantia
Genus
Tradescantia is a genus of 75 species of herbaceous perennial wildflowers in the family Commelinaceae, native to the New World from southern Canada to northern Argentina, including the West Indies. Members of the genus are known by the common names Spiderwort or Indian Paint. They were introduced into Europe as ornamental plants in the 17th century and are now grown as such in many parts of the world. Subsequently, some species have become naturalized in various regions of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, as well as on some oceanic islands.

A poolside visitor in Sun Lakes, Chandler, Arizona today.
I had to carefully take my camera into the pool to get the right angle for this guy, who patiently posed for me.
I think he is a "Serpent Ringtail" but I stand to be corrected by any experts out there.

Welcome to Planet Frost
Our tour continues...
Planet Frost is ecologically and biologically diverse. We strive to live in harmony with the natural life on our planet. There is an appointed team of scientists charged with cataloging and studying the myriad species of plants and creatures, both indigenous species and those that have migrated to our world. Here is one such scientific delegation, interviewing a pair of Daisy Gazers.

In an attempt to fix the eco problems the world currently has, their solution turned into an biological infection that spread and made the environment uninhabitable. The city ordered an immediate evacuation until the experiment had been destroyed. __________________________________________________
I wanted to try out some brighter lighting with this one and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Inspired by Andreas' Havoc scene. Oh and happy turkey day!
If I posted this without the title it might be passed off as our native North American Red-bellied. They certainly look very similar. Las Cruces Biological Station.
