This Great White Egret was feeding on a flooded field at Brack lane Fairfield I noticed it was wearing a yellow colour ring on its right leg above the knee with the numbers 662 on it and a metal ring on its left leg above the foot I have sent the details to Euring .
Euring maintains a databank that contains ringing recovery information gathered throughout Europe and they can let the finder know the history of almost any ringed wild bird .
I will post this information as soon as I receive a reply from them .
Update 26/03/2020
The Polish ringing station have contacted me about this bird . It was rung in the nest as a chick at Przerwanki,WARMIŃSKO-MAZURSKIE,POLAND on the 08/06/2019
Nine months later on 06/03/2020 . I spotted it at Fairfield 1482 km away feeding with another Great White Egret I seems like quite a trip for a bird less than a year old .
This will now be added to the birds sightings history .

I've not idea what caught their attention, but it was well scrutinised and no doubt tucked away in the visual databank.
Two IRC spaceships, the exploratory vessel, Frigus Iustitia, and the military vessel, IRC Agatha Christie, move together at faster-than-light speed, united in a desperate mission to save a planet, and its people, from extinction!
In temporary, emergy command of the IRC Agatha Christie, Capt. Debris Jetsam orders the Quartemaster to open a communication link to her ship, Frigus Iustitia, which was stolen by an alien named, Koe Ghitatio, a self-described Tech Mentalist in service to Princess Bhonumm Durus, and who has taken control of her friend Major Scrumptious Sky.
Major Scrumptious Sky/Koe Ghitatio: (her holo image fills the forward screen) Yes, Captain?
Captain Debris Jetsam: How much longer until we reach Vhipernhal?
MSS-KG: Approximately eleven minutes.
CDJ: No wonder we haven't encountered your people before. We haven't explored this far out, in this area of space, yet.
MSS-KG: My people prefer a comfortable ... "distance" between ourselves and other species, to avoid contamination.
Quartermaster DeiPhi Ngravity: Xenophobes.
MSS-KG: Not specifically, Quartermaster. Germaphobes would be more accurate. We have refrained from in-person first contact since we inadvertently unleashed a plague on another planet. It decimated their population before our scientists found a cure. Our profound guilt has made us abundantly cautious regarding physical proximity.
CDJ: What about the scientists you kidnapped?
MSS-KG: They are being kept in strict quarantine.
Pilot: Quartermaster! Three alien ships approaching!
MSS-KG's holo-image suddenly shares the screen with the images of three ships, moving toward them, in formation.
MSS-KG: (rises from the captain's chair) Those are Royal Vhipernhal fighters, Pips! Let me try to talk to them!
CDJ doesn't correct the use of her nickname as MSS-KG begins to speak in a strangely flute-like sounding language that the crews' embedded comm links can't translate, since the language isn't in their databanks. When she pauses, reciprocal sounds come back to her, followed by a bright blast of energy from one of the fighters, and MSS-KG sways on her feet.
MSS-KG: They don't believe that I am who I say I am, Pips. King Durus has commanded the fleet to destroy any hostile alien ships that try to retrieve the scientists!
CDJ: Quartermaster! Weapons!
QDPN: Weapons! Aye!
MSS-KG: You're going to destroy them?
CDJ: Koe, you told me Major Sky is in there, with you?
MSS-KG: Yes, she is.
CDJ: Then have her tell you the story about the Vanishing Act, and be ready on my mark. Quartermaster?
QDPN: (with a grim smile) Ready to disappear on your orders, Captain.
MSS-KG: (looks alarmed) Pips, Captain Jetsam, are you absolutely sure about this? It seems, reckless?
CDJ: Oh, it's almost suicidal, which is why it's against regs. (the Agatha Christie is fired upon) Guess that's why I've never been given a military command. (gives QDPN a wink) Let's give them a show to remember.
QDPN: All hands! Vanish!
MSS-KG: All hands! Vanish! (she closes her eyes)
From the perspective of the Vhipernhal fighters, the two IRC ships break away from them, swiftly circling back, and firing repeatedly. Although several shots rock the three ships, a sudden miscalculation being the IRC ships into direct line of fire with each other!
There is a massive explosion of light -- and when visibility returns to the fighters, all that remains is minute debris of the two ships.
CDJ: Koe, you can open your eyes, now. Well, you can open Major Sky's eyes.
MSS-KG: (opens her eyes and looks surprised) We're alive!
CDJ: Although I'm sure your Royal fighters don't think so.
QDPN: There is no sign that the enemy fighters are pursuing.
CDJ: And how long until we reach Vhipernhal?
QDPN: Three minutes. We should be able to get a visual.
CDJ: Let's see it.
MSS-KG's image suddenly shares the screen with a simulation of Vhipernhal, and CDJ can't help gasping.
CDJ: What is that?
MSS-KG: That is what is killing us.
MSS-KG is sharing the forward screen with a distant image of Vhipernhal, and a rich, red miasma stretches through space, enveloping half of the rotating planet.
MSS-KG: Captain Jetsam, I will send your pilot the coordinates of a derelict space station orbiting my planet. We can conceal the presence of our ships there, and vee to the surface, near the palace.
CDJ: Quartermaster, take us in.

Flit gets up early and heads over to Biological Robotics Incorporated for some repairs, a new paint job and to inquire about moving up in District 18 .
She figures the proof of her heist on B.R.I's own police databanks (the companies prized internal affairs) would ensure her one of two things. Either she would land herself a special agent role... or her sorry ass would end up in a hole somewhere and she'd never be heard from again.
When you aren't quite A.I and not all human - you have to depend on extreme measures to get noticed. Sometimes a cyborg has to take a chance.

It is as, if you were at the dentist. Lying on the bench. Waiting for the unexpected. This time, the Death Star droid will lose its memory, just because they sometimes start to behave like a human. This operation is very necessary for some of the droids. All databanks, except for basic factory-installed programming, are wiped clean. Sound you hear from the operation is like your HDD stops spinning all of a sudden. It's sounds so sad. Sound of silence.
About a month old picture. I've been playing with this for a moment, therefore. But for a good reason. It feels good to be back on the Death Star.
CRIMSON DAWN (Star Wars) is maybe one reason, why I love this movie. So I build some figures. :-)

Friend of mine has recently (re?)introduced me to the wonderful world of Transformers, and more specifically, the frankly fantastic toy of Prowl from Transformers Animated. Inspired, I got to building with parts from my old Roborider collection and ended up with this, a Frost cycle that is also able to transform (without removing any parts) into a humanoid form for conquering what its bike cannot.
Originally intended as something of a sentient defense for Slizer computer systems, the viruses the Roboriders encountered began to twist into strange and horrifying shapes that required evolution of their own to combat the toxic data stream. However, this particular program, with a cynical personality, found itself tagging along as Slizer Turbo was whisked into an alternate dimension to fight in a grand multiversal tournament. Discovering Turbo had an additional sentient lifeform in its databanks, Frost was extracted into a new physical body as a separate contestant.

Ah yes, the space Porsche 917K that has been the source of my headaches for the past six weeks.
I really wanted to build this starfighter, but at the same time I did not want to build it because at the time I had no idea how I would achieve the curved front with the “Porsche headlights” and the rounded wings.
Six weeks of tinkering with all sorts of LEGO bricks and building techniques imaginable, I managed to capture its unique shape with clever solutions using Mixel joints and Technic panels.
I never thought Technic panels and normal bricks would look good together, but in this case they’re almost seamless thanks to many curved slope bricks LEGO has produced in the past few years.
I’m curious to how LEGO will tackle this beautiful fighter, if they ever decide to make a playset of it.
“A decrepit racing ship that earns its colorful name Fireball due to its tendency to erupt in flames, this sleek vessel is a focus of constant and sometimes frustrated attention from the repair crew of Jarek Yeager’s garage. Team Fireball invests a lot of time, effort, and care into keeping the Fireball in high-flying shape.”
~ Star Wars databank
Influenced by World War II planes combined obscure starfighter designs from the old X-wing, TIE Fighter, and The Old Republic games, the Fireball is one of the best looking starfighters in all of Star Wars.
I am a bit upset that LEGO did not make an official model of the Fireball... yet. I hope they do in the future. This prompted me to design my own version, and it turned out more complex than I anticipated.
But I like to build things to be a perfect match, which makes things complicated and challenging. I exhausted my brain to apply all kinds of building techniques to convey the complex shape of this ship. There are also some really ancient and obscure LEGO Technic pieces utilized in the complexity of this model.
“Freya Fenris' ship is a reflection of her cool and calm demeanor, a technologically powerful machine of her own design that's built for precision performance. Matched to appeal to her endurance and efficiency, the ship's features maintain a delicate balance of speed, acceleration, and power.”

Out of all the Aces, this was the easiest to design and build since it’s so small. I designed the front using elements of Jerac's beautiful A-wings and designed some custom stickers to convey the racing stripes.
Despite being small and compact, I did challenge myself to pack complex building techniques to give the starfighter an overall smooth and slick look.

I wasn't planning on anything more this year, but then I got the idea for this nonhumanoid robot profile and had to manage one final spasm for the BWTB Non-Humanoid Contest.

SELECTED DATA LOGS, UNIT SN-05
3519.01.01 Activated in an expansive secluded forge by human smith Ferdelan Simne. Informed by him I am a combat model he discovered destroyed and rebuilt to function as his apprentice. Previous databanks and assignment appear corrupted. Therefore this assignment is acceptable.
3519.03.16 Designation 'Senos' assigned by Master Simne. He insists I deserve a proper name. I consider this acceptable.
3522.05.22 My smithing skills have progressed greatly. Master Simne is proud, he says I may surpass him before long. I am skeptical . . . but proud also.
3526.09.17 Master Simne is sick. He has been hiding it for some time, but it has become obvious. I am concerned.
3527.01.01 Today Ferdelan Simne passed away, peacefully. On his deathbed he told me: you have mastered everything I taught. There are few humans left, but you were as true a student, and friend, as any man. And I told him: thank you for teaching me metalworking, and so much more, my friend. He smiled and patted my hand, and then . . . was gone.
3527.01.02 Now I am master of this ancient forge. I will remember Master Simne’s craft. And I will remember him.

It’s like a TIE Fighter and a Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor had an ugly baby. And the most recognizable starfighter from this show as instantly #starwars. I love it.
It was actually LEGO's own model (and the lack of Fireball) which inspired me to build the Aces.
I’m not really happy with some design decisions on LEGO’s model so I went for a more accurate representation of the starfighter.
I focused a lot on getting the Imperial helmet pattern to be accurate with sideways slope bricks. Once again I applied some custom stickers in a few spots. The cockpit area was tough because of the mishmash of all sorts of angles.

I`m back with Star Wars on a display.I think we reached number seven.
And this time with a cold planet, in a hot summer. This is the first part of The Battle of Hoth. The empire side will follow soon.
By the way, I want to thank all of you. I reached 200 followers, (Ok, actually it is 207)
Hoth (Star Wars) is the sixth planet in the remote system of the same name, and was the site of the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base. It is a world of snow and ice, surrounded by numerous moons, and home to deadly creatures like the wampa.
Rebel troopers (Wookieepedia), also known as Rebel fleet troopers or Rebel soldiers, were the front-line soldiers of both the early rebel movement and later, the Rebel Alliance in the early war against the Galactic Empire and later the Galactic Civil War. Initially formed from loosely connected resistance cells, the leadership of Mon Mothma saw them become an impressively armed and trained galaxy-spanning infantry.

For a less-practiced pilot, the machine can be a little difficult to handle; even Keevil wears an extra crash helmet and visor just to be safe.”
~ Star Wars databank
This starfighter was a fun one to build. Fairly simple body, simple engines, but with interesting poseable wings. A lot of Technic pieces went into the internal structure of the wings stable and moveable, and the wingtips are attached with Bionicle ball-and-socket joints to achieve all kinds of configurations.
Also, this is the only starfighter out of all six Aces that I didn’t have to design custom stickers for.

Commander Bly, full-size (not an action figure) in downtown Portland for the 2007 Starlight Parade. Ominous. Scary. Oh-so-cool.
Mike put a lot of effort into his costume. He's a consummate prop builder and can make extraordinary things out of metal, bolts, glue, paint and a lot of time. I simply adore the detail on his suit.
The Starlight went really well this year, as always. This time it didn't rain, making for much happier troopers. Last year, it poured rain on us and someone made the mistake of stuffing his Underarmor into his helmet afterwards and leaving it there for six months, locked up in his storage tub. The mold needed names and social security numbers by the time it came out.

But I like to build things to be a perfect match, which makes things complicated and challenging. I exhausted my brain to apply all kinds of building techniques to convey the complex shape of this ship. There are also some really ancient and obscure LEGO Technic pieces utilized in the complexity of this model.
Louver roofs are good accent.

“Hype Fazon's racer is a perfect match for his own pomposity: an over-the-top ship plastered with the names and logos of his many high-end sponsors. Beyond its extravagance, the racer boasts wings that can shift angles for maximum maneuverability while speeding through turns.”
~ Star Wars databank
A flashy racer that was surprisingly easy to design and build. The hardest part was replicating the sponsor decals into custom stickers, thankfully this was possible by concept art made available on starwars.com
It’s a beautiful and simple ship that I hope one day gets the LEGO set treatment. I just really want a Hype Fazon minifigure.
“Freya Fenris' ship is a reflection of her cool and calm demeanor, a technologically powerful machine of her own design that's built for precision performance. Matched to appeal to her endurance and efficiency, the ship's features maintain a delicate balance of speed, acceleration, and power.”
~ Star Wars databank
Out of all the Aces, this was the easiest to design and build since it’s so small. I designed the front using elements of Jerac's beautiful A-wings and designed some custom stickers to convey the racing stripes.
Despite being small and compact, I did challenge myself to pack complex building techniques to give the starfighter an overall smooth and slick look.
“A decrepit racing ship that earns its colorful name Fireball due to its tendency to erupt in flames, this sleek vessel is a focus of constant and sometimes frustrated attention from the repair crew of Jarek Yeager’s garage. Team Fireball invests a lot of time, effort, and care into keeping the Fireball in high-flying shape.”

“To achieve his many high-flying stunts, Bo Keevil's ship has been customized for agility, with wings that shift into a variety of configurations to complete his death-defying tricks. For a less-practiced pilot, the machine can be a little difficult to handle; even Keevil wears an extra crash helmet and visor just to be safe.”
~ Star Wars databank
This starfighter was a fun one to build. Fairly simple body, simple engines, but with interesting poseable wings. A lot of Technic pieces went into the internal structure of the wings stable and moveable, and the wingtips are attached with Bionicle ball-and-socket joints to achieve all kinds of configurations.
Also, this is the only starfighter out of all six Aces that I didn’t have to design custom stickers for.

Leopoldstadt, Praterstrasse No. 19.

Activity: 1860-1874
Activity in this studio: 1863 - 1870
Leopoldstadt is a quarter of Vienna.

As I learnt from online databank of the Albertina, the atelier worked under that address from 1863 to 1870.
The reverse looks not very typical of the period - very unique, like a modern, Art Déco design!

Leopoldstadt (Lipótváros, Bécs egyik kerülete), Práter utca 19, bejárat a Cirkusz utca 2. felől.
Csak németül találtam az Albertina online adatbázisában infókat a fényképészről. 1860-1874-ig működött több helyen is Bécsben.
1863-tól 1870-ig volt ezen a címen műterme, akkoriban itt is lakott. Érdekes, hogy francia nevet adott a műtermének. A verzó nagyon különleges ebben a korban, teljesen az 1920-as, 40-es évek közti art deco dizájnt előlegezi meg.
Eeuwenoude beuk op het Prinsen Bolwerk in Haarlem, gesneuveld op het slagveld van de zware storm Eunice. De boom dateerde op zijn minst uit de tijd waarin J.D. Zocher de bastions aan deze kant van de stad veranderde in een stadspark, tussen 1825 en 1830. Volgens de gemeentelijke databank was de beuk zelfs nog een paar decennia ouder
Fallen beech on Haarlem's former northern bastions, changed into a park zone in the second half of the 1820s. According to municipal data, the tree was probably even some decades older - until Eunice's gusts ended its life

The Rebellion army decided to explore the frozen system Hoth.Gather some information and put them on their databank.Despite of the preparation for the travel,Hoth is most likely having a snowstorm by dawn.They wanted to explore earlier to catch the wampa's morning routine and how they haunt their breakfast.

The attic houses an enormous amount of exposed plates and films. Quite unusual that these were all kept !
Part of these are already scanned and added to a databank :
A lot of work for sure !
