Curlew has really risen up the conservation agenda recently because the population is plummeting, especially in Wales and Northern Ireland, and Britain has the third biggest Curlew population on the planet (after Russia and Finland I think). So if our Curlews disappear like Corncrakes did, the impact will be large on a global scale.
The scientific generic name of Curlew is Numenius, which translates from the Greek for new moon. Hesychius (Greek, 5th or 6th century AD) was the first to describe a bird he called noumenios (neos=new mene=moon) which has been traditionally associated with Curlew because its beak is the shape of a crescent moon. The specific name arquata comes from the Latin word arcuatus, meaning bow-shaped, again from the shape of the bill.
I took this photograph near Holmfirth in the South Pennines where they are still relatively common breeding birds.

Urbex B.T
Does this count as Urbex? a rusty old phone box found while out walking the Clydach Gorge. There's not that many of these heavy old fashioned boxes left so hopefully it will be salvaged.
Saltese Wetlands: Yellow-headed Blackbird - Calling in the Wind
3796
This is my 1st uploaded attempt with the new LrC lens blur feature.
I'm not a pixel peeper, but I can see that the bottom right of the bird needed more original focus.
I'd appreciate additional feedback & suggestions, especially when doing LightRoom post with wildlife pix.
Tx! 😁
Saltese Flats was once a nearly thousand-acre lake & was partially drained around 1900 for timothy hay agriculture. The Lake—originally spelled "Seltice" Lake—was named after Chief Andrew Seltice of the Coeur d'Alene tribe, who lived in a home on the west side.
Spokane County purchased 580 acres & began the wetlands restoration process in 2019. The project provides enhanced wildlife habitat, recreation, and strategic water management benefits. The primary goal is to restore the wetlands habitat while increasing late summer water flow into the Spokane River via the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. It has become an important stopover site for migratory waterfowl, as well as a wide variety of other birds and animals that once again call this home.
Flight pictures are easy to obtain locally , so it's always a pleasure to catch one roosting.
I believe this may be scruffy, sadly he seems to have damaged his left eye.

"Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my wellios
And I want to get away and go
From all these mirror windows
I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find it out, when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball
Calling me "
Perez's frog, also known as Iberian waterfrog, Iberian green frog, or Coruna frog (Pelophylax perezi) (I think!)
I just moved into a new apartment. Not the one pictured, but one with a lot of white walls, and a policy that doesn't allow pets! How am I suppose to fulfill my destiny of being a crazy cat man?
Lately I have been feeling trapped, or restricted by the walls I put up. When I feel this way I have to remind myself that I can change the way I think. I can be hopeful, and determined. Rather than pitiful, and gloomy, which leads to stress eating chocolate bars! I've learned that whatever it is I may be struggling with, to not be afraid to call for help.

The weather and work have been conspiring against me recently, been unable to get out much with the camera so here`s a shot from Hyde Park Calling in 2007. Couldn`t see much on the stages for the rain but the fairground rides looked good!
The things I learn on Google!
Pointing at a sign or signal and calling out the status maintains focus and attention, greatly reducing workplace errors.
Quiet lakes and wetlands come alive with the breezy whistle of the American Wigeon (Mareca americana), a dabbling duck with pizzazz. Breeding males have a green eye patch and a conspicuous white crown, earning them the nickname "baldpate". Noisy groups congregate during fall and winter, plucking plants with their short gooselike bill from wetlands and fields or nibbling plants from the water's surface. The American Wigeon is often found feeding with diving ducks such as the Redhead, Scaup, and Canvasback, who are adept at rooting up vegetation from deep in the water. The American Wigeon often feeds by snatching these underwater greens away from the diving ducks as they surface.
