All of the other action shots from the tennis courts have been of the blondes. Here Eva is showing that she can book it too. I like her movement and how much she looks like a puppy here, but the fence drives me a bit batty. She keeps to the periphery of the courts when we're there (apparently that is where the good smells are), so getting her without the fence is problematic at best.

We are ultra pleased to announce, bookings are now been taken for our LITTLE OWL site in Yorkshire for 2016.

 

The Little Owl hide attracts both male and female owls as well as the juveniles until around September. This is a great opportunity to build up a stunning portfolio of these beautiful birds.

 

The Little owls have been nesting at this site, on a farm close to the city of York, for 16 years now. Two years ago the hide manager built a rough hide and since then has gradually introduced perches near to the old oak tree where they nest.

 

The tree is situated between crop fields and offers lovely light and clean backgrounds. From early spring to late summer the owls visit the perches regularly and often stay in for a while scratching and preening. The perches can be easily changed giving a photographer the opportunity to create a varied portfolio of images during a single session. A new timber hide is in place for spring we are now taking bookings for May - Sept 2016.

The Booking Hall roof, Edinburgh Waverley station.

 

Waverley station was the collective name of three separate termini opened in 1846 and 1847, although the name only dates from the 1854 opening of the 'Waverley' route to Carlisle via Galashiels and Hawick.

 

The three independent stations were taken over by the North British Railway in 1866-68, were demolished and replaced by the current station. The dome seen here from below was added in 1897.

 

The station was designated as a Listed Building, Category A in 1991.

Grim looking as you might expect given the Victorian attitude to death the Graves Office looks even less welcoming than a cemetery! I had occasion to visit one some time ago and the amount of information they contain is simply amazing and the staff could not have been more helpful. It would make you want to book your stay there;-)

Magic light here!!!

I have always waned to see the strange and unique landscape of Dungeness. Finally, I saw it. Also a great home to wildlife as well!

  

www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/find-a-reserve/reserv...

  

If you haven't been to Dungeness, nothing can quite prepare you for the landscape – mile after mile of shingle, which is wild and a little weird! On a cold winter's day, it is a delight to sit snug in the visitor centre and look out through a huge picture window at all the waterbirds on the large gravel pit just outside. Often a rare grebe or diver is among them, and it is perhaps the best place in the UK for watching the delightful smew.

 

The nature trails lead around a series of hides where there is an excellent chance of seeing bitterns and bearded tits in winter. There is plenty to be seen at other times too. Dungeness's position, jutting into the English Channel, makes it ideally placed to watch for migrant birds arriving or departing, with wheatears, swallows, martins and warblers regularly seen.

 

In summer, redshanks, lapwings and reedbed birds breed, including, in 2007, two pairs of marsh harriers for the first time.

 

Dungeness is a great place for children to become 'wildlife detectives' and enjoy learning about nature at one of our regular family events. And with recently added hides and trails overlooking new wetland areas, there's more than ever to see.

  

Opening times

  

The reserve is open daily (except December 25 and 26) from 9 am-9 pm (or sunset if earlier). The visitor centre is open from 10 am-5 pm (4 pm November - February).

  

Entrance charges

  

RSPB and Wildlife Explorer members free. Non-members: adults £4, student £3, under 16s £2, under 5s free, carers free (when accompanying registered disabled visitors)

  

If you are new to birdwatching...

  

A good variety of waterfowl and seabirds can be easily seen from the visitor centre and hides. Staff usually on hand in the visitor centre to help with identification. Identification charts in all hides. Four beginners' walks run each year.

  

Information for families

  

Families are always welcome at RSPB Dungeness and a huge range of family friendly activities goes on throughout the year. Use a Wildlife Explorer rucksack (free of charge) to explore the reserve and the children's trail on your own or join one of our events to get expert tuition on activities such as pond dipping, minibeasts, bird watching or being a nature detective to name just a few. Family events run throughout the school holidays; children must be accompanied by an adult.

  

Information for dog owners

  

No dogs allowed, except registered assistance dogs. However, dogs can be exercised on a lead in the car park.

  

Star species

  

Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.

  

Bittern

 

Bitterns come to Dungeness in Britain from Europe when cold weather forces them to move to sites where they can still catch fish.

  

Little ringed plover

 

The first little ringed plovers arrive at Dungeness in March. Look for them on the islands on the pits and feeding around the muddy edges until early autumn when they head back to Africa.

  

Slavonian grebe

 

Slavonian grebes are scarce, but regular visitors to Dungeness. A small number of them can be seen diving for food on the pits in winter.

  

Smew

 

Look for small parties of smews diving on the pits between late November and March. The hides overlooking Burrowe's Pit should produce good views. The stunning adult drakes are outnumbered by 'redheads' - females and immature males.

  

Wheatear

 

The arrival of wheatears from March is a sure sign that spring has arrived at Dungeness. Large arrivals - 'falls' - of this migrant can occur here in both spring and autumn.

Seasonal highlights

 

Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.

  

Spring

 

The first sand martins of the season should be seen in mid-March, closely followed by wheatears, black redstarts and yellow wagtails. Cuckoos should be present from mid-April whilst there will be a large increase in warblers. Sedge and reed warblers and whitethroats all nest on the reserve whilst willow warblers, chiffchaffs, and blackcaps pass through on migration. Wader passage should be noticeable with bar-tailed and black-tailed godwits, whimbrels, greenshanks, green and common sandpipers, little ringed plovers, avocets and ruffs all likely. Look for lapwings displaying over the fields and listen for marsh frogs calling from the lakes and ditches.

  

Summer

  

In June, our resident cormorants will be busy feeding their chicks whilst cygnets, goslings and ducklings will be much in evidence. Hobbies may be seen hunting insects over Hooker's pits - it is always a joy to watch these fantastic falcons performing their aerial acrobatics. Throughout July the reserve will be ablaze with the colourful flowers of viper's bugloss and yellow-horned poppy. Butterflies and dragonflies will be on the wing. Species of the former most likely to be seen include red admiral, small tortoiseshell and common blue but there may also be influxes of migrant species such as clouded yellow and painted lady.

  

Autumn

  

Wildfowl numbers will increase as September progresses. Hundreds of sand martins, along with smaller numbers of swallows and house martins, can be seen feeding over Burrowes' pit throughout September. Migrating passerines such as whinchats, redstarts, wheatears and ring ouzels, will all be present in varying numbers. In October we expect to see our first goldeneyes of the season, whilst November brings the first smews and goosanders. Marsh harriers will be seen regularly and by November will be joined by their cousin the hen harriers. Finch sightings will increase as the colder weather sets in, with linnets forming flocks, and sightings of greenfinches, goldfinches, siskins, and chaffinches all likely.

  

Winter

  

Waterbirds are the main attraction during the winter months. Large numbers of wigeons, gadwalls, teals, mallards, pintails, shovelers, pochards and tufted ducks will be present whilst smews, goldeneyes and pintails will also be seen. Bewick's and whooper swans may roost on the Hanson ARC pit. Large flocks of greylag geese may be joined by white-fronted geese. Merlins, peregrines, hen harriers and marsh harriers should be seen regularly. Barn, short-eared and long-eared owls may also be found during the winter months. Amongst the passerines stonechats, goldcrests and greenfinches will be regular features and Cetti's warblers and bearded tits should be present, particularly around Hooker's pits.

Our work here

 

18 July 2011

  

Dungeness was declared a National Nature Reserve in order to protect its unique shingle ridges. Other habitats include wetlands, grasslands and farmland.

 

The reserve is a haven for breeding and wintering water birds, and an important stopover for migrants. It is also home to many unusual plants and invertebrates.

 

The RSPB is managing the reserve for the benefit of all its wildlife.

  

Saving shingle

 

Dungeness's shingle ridges support an internationally important community of plants and animals. These include the endemic leafhopper Aphrodes duffieldi, and the scarce Nottingham catchfly, which is the food plant of several rare moth species.

 

We are managing this fragile habitat in order to preserve its unique character and biodiversity.

  

Flourishing fens

 

Behind the shingle ridges are a series of natural freshwater pits that have been colonised by fen vegetation. These support several uncommon plants, including the regionally scarce great fen sedge, as well as great crested newts and medicinal leeches.

 

We are encouraging the fens to recover and spread by cutting back willow scrub and other invasive plants. This enhances the overall biodiversity of the pits.

  

Reedbed creation

 

We have recently carried out major landscaping on Denge Marsh to create a 20 ha reedbed which links to the reedbed at Hooker's Pit. This will provide habitat for bitterns, bearded tits and marsh harriers.

  

Pit stop

 

The reserve also has over 90 flooded gravel pits. These offer an important refuge for wintering wildfowl, including black-necked grebe, goosander and smew, and support breeding colonies of gulls and cormorants.

 

We are managing the pits for their biodiversity. In particular, we aim to increase the numbers of seabirds, including Mediterranean gulls and common terns, that breed on the islands.

  

Grassland and farmland

 

Dungeness has both wet and dry grassland. We are managing these habitats in order to provide suitable breeding conditions for birds such as lapwings, redshanks and garganeys, as well as two uncommon species of bumblebee, Bombus humilis and Bombus ruderarius.

  

Visitor attraction

 

We will continue to promote the reserve to visitors and maintain our network of facilities, which includes hides, nature trails and a visitor centre. However, we will be careful not to exceed 40,000 visitors per year, since any more might inhibit conservation work.

  

Funding

RSPB Dungeness has developed into a fantastic home for nature, helped by the tremendous support of many individuals, groups and organisations. In addition to RSPB members and supporters, local community members and a tireless team of volunteers, we would particularly like to thank the following organisations for their financial support:

 

Affinity Water

Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, a Defra grant distributed by Natural England

Brett

Countryside Agency

Environment Agency

EU Life Nature

Hanson Environment Fund through the Landfill Community Fund

Heritage Lottery Fund

Ibstock Cory Environment Trust through the Landfill Community Fund

Kent County Council

Mid-Kent Leader+

Natural England through Defra

MUNDIAL RUSIA 2018- GRUPO H: POLONIA, COLOMBIA, SENEGAL Y JAPÓN

MAMUTRIP comparte postales de los lugares desde donde viene cada selección participante de este Mundial de Futbol. Hoy conoceremos las que integran el Grupo H: POLONIA, COLOMBIA, SENEGAL Y JAPÓN.

PEREGRINACIÓN DE LA ‘VIRGEN NEGRA’DE POLONIA. En Polonia, iglesias y monasterios son lugares habitados, llenos de vida, y no solo ruinas, como ocurre en otros países. Esto se aprecia en particular en el monasterio de Jasna Góra, en Częstochowa. Para vivir el ambiente, hay que visitar esta localidad el 15 de agosto, cuando la festividad de la Asunción congrega a miles de peregrinos.

Sin Cartagena no hay COLOMBIA. La desmesura de su historia y de las de García Márquez de la mano, en una mezcla sabia de la primera América, de África, de la junta obligada con Europa, de aromas, colores y sabores de cada rincón que supo traer la memoria de su gente. Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 1984, fue fundada en 1533 por Pedro de Heredia y pronto se convirtió en el fuerte militar más importante de España, siempre asediada por piratas ya que se embarcaba el oro y la plata hacia Cádiz. También obsesión de amores desencontrados y de curiosos sin destino. Por tanto, el casco histórico protegido entre murallas grita a voces aquel esplendor. Balcones y arcadas, callejuelas empedradas, plazas en lugares inimaginados y bellas iglesias donde las campanas cantan y los niños y las ancianas rezan. Aquí lo más importante es perderse, y ya. Buscar la parte de la muralla que da al mar cada atardecer y trago en mano, perderse en ese sitio de presente continuo. La Plaza de Santo Domingo, siempre concurrida ideal para un refresco y de paso alguna boda, comunión o bautismo, seguro lo alcanzará. El barrio de Getsemaní, muy concurrido por las noches; la Puerta del Reloj; el famoso Castillo de San Felipe, visita que da cuenta de la relevancia de esta plaza para España colonial.

Dakar, capital de SENEGAL, es una ciudad que se extiende a través de la península de Cabo Verde, es una mezcla de pueblos y ciudades coloniales francesas, y aun así su belleza no está en su arquitectura, sino en su ambiente y su gente. Calles calurosas, llenas de polvo, y lugareños desfilando en una explosión de colores brillantes telas. En los mercados y en la medina el turista se verá inmenso en un ambiente similar. Las carreteras están a menudo colapsadas por el tráfico. Y en el aire, hay una banda sonora constante del Jazz de Senegal. La Medina, no es una medina árabe en el sentido de una ciudad medieval amurallada, sino una serie de calles estrechas dispuestas en cuadrículas y llenas de gente. Hay pocos sitios turísticos, a excepción de la Gran Mezquita, pero si el turista da un paseo por la medina podrá experimentar y ver la vida cotidiana de Dakar: carros tirados por caballos, cocinas abiertas que sirven comidas baratas y puestos improvisados de venta de gran variedad de productos.

JAPÓN, tiene el mix que buscamos hoy en día. La modernidad, las últimas tendencias y una tradición y cultura ricas que se mantienen en el tiempo. Pisar suelo tokiota ya te pone en otra sintonía. Con un idioma de por sí complicado, genera el atractivo de pisar otro mundo. A Tokio se la compara con la adrenalina que provoca Nueva York con los neones de Shibuya, la locura de Harajuku Street, los recovecos de Golden Gai y el encanto y las chances de conocer otra cultura. Para que tu viaje a Japón valga la pena, el ABC indica que se debe recorrer la Ruta de Oro, el circuito que incluye ciudades como Kioto, Nara, Osaka (eje gastronómico y más relajadas que la exigente capital) y la vista del Monte Fuji.

EL ESCRITOR QUE TEMÍA SER ENTERRADO VIVO

Nikolái Vasílievich Gógol es un escritor ucraniano en lengua rusa nacido en Soróchintsi el 1 de abril de 1809 y fallecido en Moscú el 4 de marzo de 1852. Es considerado como uno de los máximos exponentes de la literatura rusa del siglo XIX a pesar de que, por educación y cultura, podría ser considerado ucraniano. Perteneciente a una familia de la baja nobleza rural, Gógol se trasladó a San Petersburgo en 1828, donde entabló amistad con Aleksandr Pushkin. Entre sus obras literarias sobresalientes se cuentan a “El inspector”, “El casamiento” y “Los jugadores”. Una anécdota conocida de este talentoso artista, es que tenía auténtico pánico a la remota posibilidad de ser enterrado vivo por accidente. Tanto es así que se negaba a acostarse por si lo daban por muerto y rogó a sus allegados que esperasen a que su cuerpo presentase evidentes síntomas de descomposición para cerciorarse de que no despertaría bajo tierra, voluntad que fue respetada.

UCRANIA, el lugar de su nacimiento, es conocida como uno de los países más grandes de Europa, se ubica en el este del continente, compartiendo sus fronteras con Rusia, Bielorrusia, Polonia, Eslovaquia, Hungría, Rumania, Moldavia y el Mar Negro y el de Azov al sur. Tiene destinos populares como Kiev u Odesa y lugares con balnearios a pleno sol.

Few of the 42 million passenger who use Euston Underground station every year would guess that they pass within remnants of the original two stations which used to occupy this site.

 

Sealed off behind iron doors, or brick walls, is a complex network of tunnels, most of which closed to passengers when the Victoria line came to Euston in 1962.

 

These photographs, taken in May 2017, showcase the tunnels as they stand today.

 

Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
