Another 'first' for me today, well, I've seen one of these before, but "Lesser or Common" I'm not too sure, luckily a thoroughbred birder has confirmed it as a Common Whitethroat - Happy Days!!!
Seen at RSPB Conwy earlier today, along with Swifts, House Martins, Swallows, Common Sandpipers, Lesser Whitethroats and Fighter Jets within close proximity
Have some of these flying around the house. Apparently common, but first I've seen in my yard. Larval foodplant is mallows.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Common gull (Larus canus) is a medium-sized gull which breeds in northern Asia, northern Europe and northwestern North America. It migrates further south in winter. Its name does not indicate that it is an abundant species. Its conservation status in Norway is "near threatened" (NT).
Common Medlar, Mespilus germanica. Barking Suffolk.
Two small trees seen in a mixed hedgerow.
The fruits are rather like small apples, but with tightly encased sepals. They are edible after bletting (a polite alternative to saying partly rotten). The taste is, apparently, somewhat similar to cooked apples. Formerly a popular fruit, grown in large gardens and hedgerows near habitation. They were introduced to the UK from south-east Europe and south-west Asia. The old country name for them is 'open-arses' - for fairly obvious reason.
Thanks to Martin Sanford at the Suffolk Biological Records Centre for helping me in finding these plants.
MFA Exhibit - I worked with another student to create a recruitment campaign for the Fort Hays State University Alumni Association. Included are magazine ads, a brochure and postcards.
this moc are now in lego idea.
link: and nope its a fail. cauz i use the lego movie universe.
here the project text:
Set 966 69: The revenge of Fury Kitty.
This set was initially a simple personal MOC aiming to make tribute to the world of Mad Max but with that humor that made me giggle while watching the lego movies. Then i make it, my mind is put to make a story for them, nothing crazy we all do that. Once i was finished, my son enjoying the moc and the associated history so much that when we discovered the lego idea site he asked me to 'post' it. But the 'little story' invented to justify the existence of this bunch of broken arms is not enough to bring the project to life. We must invent the MLU: Multi License Universe. As in the film, it goes from one country to another in its own form but in addition it is able to travel through all the licenses acquired by lego.
Fury Kitty and his team are capable of crossing the universe of all Lego licenses or traveling with lego. The possibilities are endless (yes its a bit Marvel copy, but a tiny bit;))! Of course we need a common thread that justifies this adventure through the lego worlds. How about revenge? Indeed, a very long time ago to acquire more powers Lord Business made a deal with Queen Fury Kitty (UniKitty's mother) She had to abandon her kingdom and become empress of the lego underworld. In exchange, Lord Business stops selling toxic products from his industrial companies in the land of the perched clouds and leaves his daughter UniKitty to become the next queen (the kingdom of UniKitty in the lego movie). Fury Kitty accepts. But she soon realized that she had been ripped off. Lego being toys they cannot die. The only way for a lego to get to hell is to be forgotten by everyone, for some lego that never happens. Deciding well on this revenge she travels the lego universes in search of his enemy jurer, Lord Business (nope, he did not die during the explosion of the kragle at the end of the first film ... he just disappeared :) ).
Fury Kitty and all his team will therefore be the heros of a series such as rick and morty, solar opposed or Futurama. Quirky spirit, totally ubiquitous situation, dark humor, burelesque and a little trashy (but less than the adultswim series). All in PEGI 14/16.
The team:
FuryKitty: The Empress of the Hell lego. So certainly a lego does not die. But it can get to hell. By forgetting, once a lego is forgotten by all it ends up in hell and inevitably appears in front of FuryKitty (this is why furykitty knows that lord business is not dead nor forgetting by all). This is how fury kitty recruited his gang. Much like Deadpool, Fury Kitty knows that she is a fictional character and more specifically a toy.
Hot Road Max: FuryKitty's Living Car. HRM is able to travel from one lego universe to another as soon as it reaches 88mph. Yes she eat Doc's Deloreane. Besides, HRM often eats Fury Kitty's enemies. This is how it fills up. Unfailingly loyal, HRM has special ties to Lieutenant Gunmerick's pilot.
Lieutenant Gunmerick: FuryKitty's first recruit. A Victorian scotland yard inspector. But once he retired, he quickly fell into oblivion. Fury Kitty gave meaning to its existence. Since then he has been the pilot of HRM and right-hand man of FuryKitty.
CopAlien: A xenomorph rejected by its pairs. Why ? A childhood dream, to become a police officer! He is secretly in love with Fury Kitty. CopAlien doesn't have a weapon, he is a weapon. But on the other hand he loves his plate, the only proof that he is an good xenomorph. Then people run away if he doesn't show them his license plate ... in fact they always run away.
Satyr çacogne: A prince from an ancient Greek kingdom who is almost forgotten by everyone. The prince wants to marry Fury Kitty in order to restore his kingdom to its former power. But Fury Kitty is not interested in. Only revenge counts. If Fury Kitty tolerates her presence it is for a completely different reason, that she will never surround (I assure you its not love).
The set has 1355 pieces.
This set could be the basis of a great adventure. An epic as funny as it is gripping. For that we just need 10,000 votes!
A common part of this butterfly's flight signature is wings-out gliding, looking very much like an aeroplane.
Imature male Common Eider - Barnegat Inlet, Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, New Jersey
This juvie male Common Eider was sitting off the end of the jetty in a hard spot to get good light, and I must have made a hundred or more captures of him as he bobbed about in the waves. I crouched next to the seaward side of the horn tower to keep from being silhouetted while I made these captures, and stayed there for about an hour where I was sheltered from the 30 knot winds. I decided it was probably a good idea to head for home after the Coast Guard send out a boat to check on me. It seems they must have become concerned during the time I was hidden from view behind the horn tower foundation, and came out to make sure I was OK.

Captain Doug and I were on the lake, checking bald eagle nests and enjoying the beautiful autumn day. We came upon a small flock of common loons who were also enjoying the warmth. Loons are winter visitors here and their lovely calls can be heard in the early mornings and late evenings. Captain Doug tried to ease in front of the loons so I could get some face shots, but, the loons easily grouped, turned direction and then lined out and left us behind. They are fast swimmers and they left me and the little iPhone behind a couple of times too!
This is probably one of the few times being colorblind is a help rather than a hinderance while birding. These are night birds and to get to find one hiding in the daytime is a treat.
This common redpoll is another late winter backyard visitor. The weather has been warming up and this female arrived in a small flock. Post processing with Topaz Studio (AI Clear, Precision Detail) and a bit of Photoshop.
Common Darter - RHS Hyde Hall, Essex. Still trying these new extn rings! This time I had the 36mm+13mm on the macro lens. I'm quite pleased with the results unfortunately the Darter had enough of me getting ever closer and moved away before I could try other permutations.

Last year my friend's parents gave me three Common Spotted Orchids from their garden where they have established naturally and proliferated wildly over the years.
I've kept them in pots, in the soil that was removed with them and was very pleased to see that all three have survived and have returned this year.
So I thought it would be a good project to record one of them every week.
