Het Nationaal Park Plitvicemeren (Kroatisch: Nacionalni park Plitvička Jezera) is een nationaal park in de provincie Lika-Senj dicht bij Plitvička Jezera in Kroatië.
Door een natuurlijk afzettingsproces gedurende duizenden jaren door het stromende water van de Koranarivier zijn er in dit gebied dammen van travertijn ontstaan. Deze dammen hebben op hun beurt weer een aantal meren, grotten en watervallen gevormd. Het park bezit momenteel 16 meren met daartussen 90 watervallen. Het bos in het park is het onderkomen van beren, wolven en zeldzame vogels.
Het park werd in 1979 op de Werelderfgoedlijst van beschermde natuurgebieden van UNESCO geplaatst.
De Plitvicemeren zijn onderverdeeld in de bovenmeren (Gornja) en de benedenmeren (Donja) zoals onder andere het Proscaroncanskog jezera en het Kozjakmeer. Het grootste benedenmeer is Jezero Milanovac dit is circa 470 m lang, 50-90 m breed en 18m diep.
Scottish Bred cattle, look so majestic on the Derbyshire moorland. I searched for two days to find them. So glad i found them. It's a great feeling to be amongst them. I would not want to upset them:-)
Yet the years haven't really been wasted
And I know it in my head
We did good for the life that we tasted
'cause we're Gasoline Alley -
Gasoline Alley bred!...
The nominate subspecies of the common tern is 31–35 cm (12–14 in) long, including a 6–9 cm (2.4–3.5 in) fork in the tail, with a 77–98 cm (30–39 in) wingspan. It weighs 110–141 g (3.9–5.0 oz).[
Breeding adults have pale grey upperparts, very pale grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill that can be mostly red with a black tip, or all black, depending on the subspecies.
The common tern's upper wings are pale grey, but as the summer wears on, the dark feather shafts of the outer flight feathers become exposed, and a grey wedge appears on the wings. The rump and tail are white, and on a standing bird the long tail extends no further than the folded wingtips, unlike the Arctic and roseate terns in which the tail protrudes beyond the wings. There are no significant differences between the sexes.
In non-breeding adults, the forehead and underparts become white, the bill is all black or black with a red base, and the legs are dark red or black.
The upper wings have an obvious dark area at the front edge of the wing, the carpal bar. Terns that have not bred successfully may moult into non-breeding adult plumage beginning in June, though late July is more typical, with the moult suspended during migration. There is also some geographical variation; Californian birds are often in non-breeding plumage during migration.
Juvenile common terns have pale grey upper wings with a dark carpal bar. The crown and nape are brown, and the forehead is ginger, wearing to white by autumn. The upper parts are ginger with brown and white scaling, and the tail lacks the adult's long outer feathers.
Birds in their first post-juvenile plumage, which normally remain in their wintering areas, resemble the non-breeding adult, but have a duskier crown, dark carpal bar, and often very worn plumage. By their second year, most young terns are either indistinguishable from adults, or show only minor differences such as a darker bill or white forehead.
The common tern is an agile flyer, capable of rapid turns and swoops, hovering, and vertical take-off. When commuting with fish, it flies close to the surface in a strong head wind, but 10–30 m (33–98 ft) above the water in a following wind. Unless migrating, normally it stays below 100 m (330 ft), and averages 30 km/h (19 mph) in the absence of a tail wind.
Its average flight speed during the nocturnal migration flight is 43–54 km/h (27–34 mph)[22] at a height of 1,000–3,000 m (3,300–9,800 ft).
This image was taken in Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island in Canada on 9th October 2023. I was quite surprised to see an adult Tern bringing back food for this juvenile Tern at this time of the year.
