Young Otter brings in a flatfish

14 month old koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) named Ellaroo (daughter of Wannaroo) has spotted the Wildlife Care Specialist heading over to his tree with a big bundle of fresh eucalyptus.

 

The San Diego Zoo cuts from more than 30 species that grow at the Zoo, the Safari Park, and a nearby browse farm. Not every zoo that displays koalas has the right climate to grow gum trees, so the San Diego Zoo also supplies koalas in other states and countries with their eucalyptus.

The Bridge....

 

Saturday Karen and I made our way to the south end of Heart Lake Conservation Area; The fall is a fickle time. some years the leaves changing colours are okay and others they don't change much at all. some years they last for a long time others a sudden storm and strong winds and its all over.

 

This is probably the last weekend for shooting fall colours in southern Ontario, the colour display is off the charts, so may varied shades of red, yellow and burnt orange.

 

this shot is of the bridge in the middle of the park, it is showing signs of its age and will probably be replaced with a much better newer one, but i do love the old worn out version.

Today I spent the whole day in Halton Conservation Area. We had the first, warm Spring weekend. Even though I didn't see any blooming flowers or fresh, green leaves, I felt the presence of Spring.

This is one of the views, that I admired today.

The Grey Forest....

 

The first really warm day in nearly five months found us traversing the back woods in search of some wonderful spring shots. in the north end of White Spruce Park we found this grey bleak tree section where the winter had just given way to spring and it looks as though there was no life left in the trees. .

Red-shouldered Hawk

 

The Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered Hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.

These Polish Konic ponies were bred from the original European wild horse. In thisSussex RSPB reserve they are used to conserve the heathland and keep short areas of Purple moor grass which is important for birds such as the woodlark, tree pipit and nightjar for feeding and nesting. They are well adapted to living in the wild, foraging any available foods according to the seasons.

Kampong Glam (Singapore's Muslim Quarter) features many early shophouse style architecture (c. 1840s–1900s), characterized by

narrow, two-story, low-ceilinged structures with minimal plaster ornamentation. These conserved buildings often feature five-foot ways with arched walkways, French windows with louvered shutters, and, today, are renowned for vibrant murals, colorful facades, and independent boutique shops.

 

These are some of the earliest, most intimate shophouses in Singapore, with many just over 4 meters wide.

 

Gazetted as part of the Kampong Glam Conservation Area in 1989, these buildings maintain their historical structure while being adapted for modern retail, cafes, and restaurants.

 

I saw this plant at Tamala Park Conservation area. Not sure what it is and i suspect it may be a weed but I genuinely don't know. It was very cute and about the size of my fist.

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:

 

Description of the District

The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.

 

Cultural Heritage Value of the District

According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:

 

“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.

The Conservatory Hesketh Park, Southport, England.This superb Victorian Glass building was relocated to Hesketh Park in 1878 having previously been part of a private residence in the town.In recent times it has been neglected by the local council so that quite a lot of remedial work is now needed.Thankfully funding has been obtained to restore it to its former glory.

Ngorongoro Crater - Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Excerpt from www.destinationontario.com/en-ca/attractions/warsaw-caves...:

 

The Warsaw Caves were formed when a glacier melted at the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 12,000 years ago. The unique geography of the caves is made up of cavities in limestone, and the round caves are known as “kettles.” These spiral depressions were created when pieces of stone were swirled around into the limestone by the ancient river that used to cover the entire area.

 

Once the ice was gone, the river began to recede. Free from the burden of heavy ice, the ground gently rose, unveiling the breathtaking limestone caves that are now open for exploration.

Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Dryobates borealis)

 

Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, U.S.A.

 

A Red-cockaded Woodpecker clings to a longleaf pine, momentarily pausing from his relentless drilling.

 

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has played a crucial role in the survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the Southeastern United States. Since its listing as an endangered species in 1973, federal protection has facilitated active conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and management on federal lands such as national forests and military installations. I've seen firsthand the positive impact of this protection on numerous Army installations across the American Southeast. As a result of these efforts, this species has been downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened," marking a major milestone in its recovery.

The New Forest Cicada is the last of its kind in the UK.

  

Rarity: Once found in the New Forest in Hampshire, but there are now serious concerns about its continued existence. It is very likely that it is now extinct in the UK.

Cause of decline: Changes to the habitat and poor habitat management. Extreme isolation of remaining populations.
