Superb Fairy-wren

Scientific Name: Malurus cyaneus

Description: Adult male Superb Fairy-wrens are among the most brightly coloured of the species, especially during the breeding season. They have rich blue and black plumage above and on the throat. The belly is grey-white and the bill is black. Females and young birds are mostly brown above with a dull red-orange area around the eye and a brown bill. Females have a pale greenish gloss, absent in young birds, on the otherwise brown tail. The legs are brown in both sexes. Males from further inland and in the south-west of the range have more blue on the back and underparts.

Similar species: Several other species of fairy-wren are found in Australia. The males of each species are quite distinct, but the females and young birds are often difficult to separate. Of the species that overlap in range with the Superb Fairy-wren, the female White-winged Fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus and Red-backed Fairy-wren M. melanocephalus lacks the chestnut colour around the eye, while the female Variegated Fairy-wren M. lamberti has a dull grey-blue wash. Both the Superb and White-winged Fairy-wrens are similar in size. The Variegated Fairy-wren is slightly larger in size and has a longer tail.

Distribution: Superb Fairy-wrens are found south of the Tropic of Capricorn through eastern Australia and Tasmania to the south-eastern corner of South Australia.

Habitat: Seen in most habitat types where suitable dense cover and low shrubs occur. They are common in urban parks and gardens, and can be seen in small social groups. These groups normally consist of one dominant male and several females and young birds.

Feeding: Superb Fairy-wrens feed on insects and other small arthropods. These are caught mostly on the ground, but may also be taken from low bushes. Feeding takes place in small social groups.

Breeding: The nest is a dome-shaped structure of grasses and other fine material. It is usually placed in a low bush and is constructed by the female. The female incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes feed the young. Other members of the group will also help with the feeding of the young.

Male Superb Fairy-wrens have been labelled as 'the least faithful birds in the world'. Females may be courted by up to 13 males in half an hour, and 76% of young are sired by males from outside the social group.

Calls: The Superb Fairy-wren gives a series of high pitched trills, which are given by both sexes. The male often extends these trills into song.

Minimum Size: 13cm

Maximum Size: 14cm

Average size: 14cm

Average weight: 10g

Clutch Size: Three to four.

Comment on EXPLORE below, but first...Yes, another palm leaf abstract from Costa Rica, this one I tweaked the colors to be less green. Amazing how nature can be so orderly when you look closely, even though when you look casually it can seem haphazard. Going to post and run, will try and get back later, have been slightly bogged down.

I would like to make the comment that it now has been over 6 months since a post of mine has explored, since that time I have gotten all manner of comments, views and faves and no explore. I have also given all manner of comments and faves and notes, and each time because I wanted to, each one written (typed) by fingers, letter by letter, each fave a knowing click. If you are a contact of mine, it is because I like you and your work and I enjoy commenting and faving. So, I finally have come to the conclusion that my lack of exploring is obviously because I suck. (Joking, I have far to big an ego to believe that)

Seriously, if exploring isn’t about quality and it isn’t about activity then what it is it about? What does it mean? What does it represent? By the way, before anyone offers any “here is how you explore” advice understand I don’t want it, I am fairly certain that over the past six months I have had posts that followed the “exploring religion” to a tee, and still nothing. Plus I don’t want to follow a religion I just want to participate in Flickr robustly, which anyone can tell by the amount of comments I get and give I do robustly participate in it and enjoy it.

As far as I can tell Explore is a giveaway by Flickr to some users and not to others. The giveaway is that a lot of people see your images, which is one of the reasons we all post here isn’t it? Seems wrong to me. So there you have it, had to say it.

Peace out.

Thanks so much Bo for allowing me once more to play with your wonderful shot. This time it's Winter Warmer.

(part of a project I'm working on for my photo class. It's one of three for a "hoax". My idea is that there are cannibals in the mirrors that kidnap people. My teacher has a preference for more non-cutesty photography.)

(Done with this projects :) - suh-weet!)

Thanks as ever for all the comments and the suggestions on the shoes to match this French Connection dress. With my coat purchase the other day i think i've blown my monthly clothes budget !!

I do own some peep toe nude colour heels though so i will try and get some pics with them this weekend. I bought them ages ago and just haven't found a dress to match them. But i do love these heels i'm wearing, well for about an hour and then they turn into 'killer heels' and my feet then hurt like hell! Suffering for your art i think they call it!

A rare night in at home and trying out a couple of new things. Firstly, after a suggestion from a friend, fishnet tights with my dress.

Secondly, and much more daring, a corset and hold-ups!

Black-fronted Dotterel

Scientific Name: Elseyornis melanops

Description: The Black-fronted Dotterel is a small wader with a distinctive black face-mask and breast-band and prominent chestnut scapulars (shoulder feathers). In juveniles, the breast-band is initially absent but a brown band slowly appears as the bird develops. Legs are pink orange, and the bill is red with a black tip. The dark eye is ringed with red. In flight the wings look broad and the tail short, while the black and white contrast is striking. Flight is slow with almost hesitant wing beats. This species is also called the Black-fronted Plover.

Similar species: The adult and immature Black-fronted Dotterel are unmistakable, though the juvenile could be confused with the juvenile and immature Red-capped Plover.

Distribution: The Black-fronted Dotterel is widespread throughout Australasia.

Habitat: The Black-fronted Dotterel is found in the shallow margins of wetlands, lakes, rivers, sewage farms, storm drains and marshes. It is normally always near freshwater and is not often seen on the coast.

Seasonal movements: Breeding resident.

Feeding: The Black-fronted Dotterel eats small molluscs as well as aquatic and terrestrial insects. When it forages, it keeps its body horizontal while bobbing its head to look for food, often running then stopping suddenly to peck at food items.

Breeding: The Black-fronted Dotterel lays its eggs in a shallow scrape, often on pebbly ground and quite close to water. It may have more then one brood per year. Both parents incubate the eggs and look after the young.

Calls: Sharp 'tip' call, singular or repeated three or four times.

Minimum Size: 16cm

Maximum Size: 18cm

Average size: 17cm

Average weight: 32g

Breeding season: September to February

Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs

Incubation: 27 days

Nestling Period: 25 days

Commentary-

I revamped the camoflage pattern to something more realistic this was from the Western Front. Please tell me what you think

Inspiration-

Almost 100% Panzerbricks design

History-

e 3.7 cm Flak 36 was an anti-aircraft cannon produced by Nazi Germany that saw widespread service in the Second World War. The cannon was fully automatic and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200 m.The cannon was produced in both towed and self-propelled versions. Having a flexible doctrine, the Germans used their anti-aircraft pieces in ground support roles as well; 37 mm caliber guns were no exception to that.
