dedicato a Giancarlo (Gianva)
Stamattina (era ancora buio) 6 ottobre, Franco mi ha portato all’Oasi di Ortazzo (Ra) sperando di riuscire a fotografare il martin pescatore ( è più facile a dirsi che a farsi)
Dopo ore di appostamento siamo riusciti a fotografarlo , incredibile , per me è stata una grande emozione al punto che mi è stata fatale , tutto in fretta e..... le foto non sono perfette , ma credetimi siamo tornati a casa soddisfatti .
Il martin pescatore comune o martin pescatore europeo (Alcedo atthis) è la specie più diffusa di martin pescatore, e l'unica presente in Europa. È lungo 15-16 cm e pesa 40-44 grammi circa. È molto diffuso in Europa, Asia e Africa.
Le piume sono sgargianti, di colori tra il blu e il verde, ma sul collo e sulla gola si notano evidenti macchie bianche. Le parti superiori presentano una colorazione che a seconda della rifrazione della luce può risultare blu brillante o verde smeraldo. Il petto, invece, ha una colorazione arancione vivace per i maschi, più castana per le femmine.
La testa è abbastanza grande, con un becco lungo, robusto nero; le ali e la coda corti raccolgono il corpo. Le zampette sono piccole e di un rosso intenso. Di solito il maschio ha colori più vivaci della femmina, perché durante il corteggiamento gli servono per conquistarla con le sue sfumature.
Lo si osserva spesso posato sui rami o sui paletti presso l'acqua, da dove si tuffa per catturare le sue prede.
In genere vola basso, rasente l'acqua, il suo volo è veloce, con un frullo d'ali. Spesso fa lo "spirito santo". Riesce cioè a rimanere fermo in volo sopra la superficie dell'acqua fino a che, individuata la preda, si getta in picchiata catturandola nel breve lasso di tempo di due o tre secondi.
PS nel becco un piccolo vermetto
Oasi di Ortazzo (Ra) 6 ottobre 2012

se avete 30 secondi guardate gli scatti di Franco , tutta un'altra cosa
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Grey Teal
Scientific Name: Anas gracilis
Description: The Grey Teal is almost all grey-brown. Each feather of the body is edged with buff, except on the rump. The chin and throat are white, the bill is dark green and the eye is red. The secondary wing feathers have glossy blue-black patch, broadly bordered and tipped with white. In flight, a large white wedge is visible on the underwing. The Grey Teal is one of the smaller Australian ducks (males are larger than females). Both sexes are similar in plumage.
Similar Species: The Grey Teal is sometimes confused with the female Chestnut Teal,A. castanea. The Chestnut Teal has the chin and throat pale brown, instead of white. The male Chestnut Teal is quite different in plumage, being mostly chestnut below, dark brown above and with a glossed green head and neck. The two species overlap in range and often mix together where they meet.
Distribution: Grey Teals are found throughout Australia
Habitat: Grey Teals are common in all sheltered watered areas. These include fresh, brackish and salt water, and the birds can be found on the smallest area of water in the driest of areas. The most favoured habitat type is timbered pools and river systems of the inland areas, where these birds can be found in quite large numbers.
Feeding: Grey Teals feed in small to large flocks. Food consists of a variety of types and includes dry land plants, aquatic plants, seeds, crustaceans, and insects and their larvae. Feeding methods are also varied. Birds may dabble (filter surface water or mud through the bill), upend and feed from the bottom, or graze from the surface of the water on plant material.
Breeding: Grey Teals may breed when there is available food and waterways are suitable. Taking advantage of this opportunistic breeding style, birds lay soon after suitable conditions arrive and may raise several broods while the conditions remain favourable. If conditions are not suitable, birds may not breed at all in a year. Most breeding takes place around inland waterways, and nests may be placed on the ground, in rabbit burrows or in tree hollows. The birds normally lay their eggs on the bare floor of the nest site, which are then covered with down (feathers). When it comes to spectacular movements, the Grey Teal is unsurpassed by any other Australian waterfowl. Responding to rainfall, or lack of it, they cover vast distances in search of suitable water, and occur on every type of wetland. When the water dries up, they disperse to look for more, turning up almost anywhere, including at waterholes in the desert. These extensive travels have also taken some Grey Teal beyond Australia's shores to Indonesia, New Guinea and New Zealand, and even to subantarctic Macquarie Island.

Some commented that they knew nothing about "Trap Music." After doing some research, I found out that "Pretty Girls Like Trap Music" is an album by 2 Chainz, an American rapper (see link below). I haven't listened to the album, so I don't have any thoughts on it yet.

... est-ce que je pouvais exprimer les sentiments qui m'habitent en ce moment? Entre l'ombre et la lumière, les larmes, inévitables, pour les relier. A force de chercher dans mon stock d'images, j'ai fini par retrouver celle-ci, qui est parfaite pour ce que j'ai à dire, à suggérer.
I am not so much to express too private feelings. But sometimes, they are just overwhelming. I searched for quite a time in my stock of pictures until I found this one.
Commenti, critiche e suggerimenti ben accetti,
se vi va, osservatela ingrandita.
Un saluto e grazie, Angelo.

Royal Spoonbill
Scientific Name: Platalea regia
Description: The Royal Spoonbill is a large white waterbird with black, spatulate (spoon-shaped) bill, facial skin, legs and feet. During the breeding season, it has a distinctive nuchal (back of head or nape of neck) crest, which can be up to 20 cm long in male birds (usually shorter in females). The crest can be erected during mating displays to reveal bright pink skin underneath. Breeding adults also have a creamy-yellow wash across the lower neck and upper breast and a strip of bright pink skin along the edge of the underwings which is obvious when the bird opens its wings. The facial skin is black with a yellow patch above the eye and a red patch in the middle of the forehead, in front of the crest feathers. Females are slightly smaller with shorter legs and bill. Out of breeding season, the nuchal crests are reduced, the underwing is not bright pink and the plumage is less brilliant, often appearing 'dirty'. Young birds are similar to non-breeding adults without a crest or coloured face patches, and are slightly smaler with a shorter, smoother bill. The Royal Spoonbill is most often seen wading in shallow waters, sweeping its submerged bill back and forth in a wide arc to find food.
Similar species: Their large spoon-shaped bills easily distinguish spoonbills from all other water birds. Its black face, bill and legs all distinguish the Royal Spoonbill from the slightly larger Yellow-billed Spoonbill, which has a yellow bill and legs. The Royal Spoonbill also has a distinctive nuchal crest during breeding season, which is visible even in silhouette.
Distribution: The Royal Spoonbill is found throughout eastern and northern mainland Australia from the Kimberley region of Western Australia across the Top End and through Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, to south-eastern South Australia. It is only a rare visitor to Tasmania and it is not found south-west of Broome, Western Australia through to the Spencer Gulf, South Australia or in central Australia. It is also found in New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and on some south-western Pacific islands.
Habitat: The Royal Spoonbill is found in shallow freshwater and saltwater wetlands, intertidal mud flats and wet grasslands. Both permanent and temporary inland waters are used when available in the arid zone. Will also use artificial wetlands such as sewage lagoons, saltfields, dams and reservoirs.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary on the coast, inland birds move with changing water availabilities.
Feeding: The Royal Spoonbill feeds mainly on fish in freshwater, and on shrimps in tidal flats; it will also eat other crustaceans and aquatic insects. The structure of its bill limits it to feeding in water that is less than 40 cm deep over sand, mud or clay, where it can sweep the water with its bill. It uses several methods to catch food: slow sweeping from side to side with an open bill, rapid sweeping while walking fast or even running through the water, as well as dragging, probing or grabbing. The spatulate bill has many vibration detectors, called papillae, on the inside of the spoon, which means the bird can feel for prey items even in murky water and can feed by day or night. Once food is caught, it lifts its bill up and lets the items slide down its throat. It will bash shrimps against hard objects to remove their shells.
Breeding: The Royal Spoonbill forms monogamous pairs for the duration of the breeding season and nest in colonies alongside many other waterbirds, including Yellow-billed Spoonbills, ibises, herons and cormorants. A solid bowl-shaped nest is built of sticks and twigs lined with leaves and water plants, and is usually placed in the crown of a tree over water or among high reeds and rushes. Nest sites may be reused year after year. Both sexes incubate the eggs and feed the young. When threatened at the nest, the adult birds will raise all their feathers to appear much larger and crouch down low over the nest. The young are often fed by both parents for several weeks after fledging and young birds will forage alongside their parents for some time before the family group disperses.
Calls: Grunts, growls and soft honks. Also makes non-vocal sounds such as bill-snapping and 'wing-woofing' during aggressive displays.
Minimum Size: 74cm
Maximum Size: 81cm
Average size: 78cm
Average weight: 78g
Breeding season: October to March
Clutch Size: Two to four, usually three
Incubation: 25 days
