Forest-living kingfisher with a white belly and vibrant multi-tone blue wings and back. Note bright white spot in front of the eyes that does not extend back over the eye. In flight shows diagnostic large white wing panels. Often perches prominently, including on powerlines and trees. (eBird)
-------------------
Seen and heard quite frequently during our travels. Our first view of this beautiful kingfisher was "wow!" as he sat out in the open for us to admire.
Bicentennial Park, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. October 2022.
The diagnostic black-white-black patch on the edge of the wings can be seen stretched out in this capture of the Woodlark which I watched preening itself in a clearing within a mixed woodland area of the New Forest.
Thank you all for your views, faves and comments.

Historique
Avant 1163, l'abbaye Sainte-Geneviève avait des biens au village de Chennevières1.
L'église Saint-Pierre semble avoir été donnée entre 1164 et 11962 par l'évêque de Paris, Maurice de Sully, aux chanoines réguliers de Saint Victor de l'abbaye du Mont-Étif qui a été fondée par Maurice de Sully d'après une bulle de Clément III. Les religieux de cette abbaye ont été transférés à l'abbaye Notre-Dame d'Hyverneaux de Lésigny (Essonne) au début du règne de Louis IX.
C’est une église prieurale au xive siècle. Pour Marc Thibout, la construction de l’édifice date du 2e tiers du xiiie siècle. Des fosses liées à cette construction auraient été mises au jour lors d'un diagnostic archéologique réalisé au niveau du chevet en 2012-20134. L'église Saint-Pierre a été élevée en paroisse en 1260. L'abbé d'Hivernaux nommait à la cure de l'église Saint-Pierre de Chennevières.
En 1738, des réparations urgentes doivent être faites dans la nef et le clocher mais elles ne sont toujours pas faites en 1754. La voûte gothique s'est effondrée après cette date, entraînant la chute des parties hautes de la nef. La nef de l'église avait été construite avec un triforium à claire-voie donnant une hauteur supplémentaire de 7 mètres à la nef. En 1790, le clocher est endommagé par un incendie.
Un dessin de l'architecte Garrez, daté de 1852, montre l'église de Chennevières sans la façade occidentale actuelle. Celle-ci a été reconstruite par l'architecte Demanet.
Elle est partiellement classée monument historique depuis 1920.
This second photograph (taken a considerable distance away) shows the Wildcat in typical habitat moving stealthily along the edge of a natural clearing but in the peripheral zone of a large forest. It also shows the diagnostic ginger markings on its legs, banded round, black tipped tail and the three lines over the back of its head. Wildcats only have stripes on the body, no blotchy markings. They are largely crepuscular and nocturnal. This male was seen patrolling his range in the last light of day. Wildcats have good vision in poor light as well as sensitive hearing. Early March is a good time to see them because it is the end of the breeding season and grass (sometimes covered in snow) is short. However, they are rarely seen.

Se puede explicar el color de la luz? ¿Podemos describir la naturaleza del aire? ¿Es posible narrar el alma de un bosque?
Luz, aire, espacio, silencio, color y tiempo. Esta luz entreverada, con un tono verde suave, tan tenue que parece delicada, como a punto de romperse. El contraste de los troncos pálidos, manchados de negro-verde, mimetizados para provocar la mÃnima atención ante el fondo amarillo-verdoso. La superficie del suelo adivinada bajo el manto leve de la hierba. Las hojas, verdes brillantes, flotando entre dos aires, el que se eleva en las copas y el más húmedo junto al suelo.Es el hayedo
Ärboles y árboles, altos, grandes, fuertes, que se pierden en el horizonte y saben rectificar el deslizamiento del suelo, buscando la verticalidad hacia el cielo. Ninguno destaca, tienen la emoción del conjunto, un canto coral a la belleza de la luz matizada.

Always nice to find this species. The diagnostic ocelli can both be seen in the inset - this individual had an undeveloped antenna on the LH side.
Eardington NR, Shropshire.
Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers can be really tricky to tell apart when they are not being vocal. They both have a habit of flitting around quickly, so spotting diagnostic features is difficult. This Chiffchaff decided to make life easy by showing off the full extent of the dark legs. Willow Warblers have pale legs. I took this on a former coal processing site in the village of Skelmanthorpe, West Yorkshire. It is being turned into a wild park and I was helping the local Parish Council's Countryside Officer with a wildlife survey on the site.
220) Thick-Billed Green Pigeon
Thick-Billed Green Pigeon, Treron curvirostra, Punai Daun
It ranges across the eastern regions of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, stretching from the Eastern Himalayas to Borneo and Sumatra. Rather small-sized pigeon being under 26 cm as compared to other green pigeons. A thick pale greenish bill with red base,broad bluish-Green eye ring,grey crown and maroon mantle diagnostic. Wings have black primary and secondaries with yellow outer edge. Underside green in both sexes. Thighs dark green with whitish scales. Female has greenish undertail coverts with whitish scales. Males have maroon dorsum and dull chestnut undertail coverts.
The diagnostic feature for separating Brown Argus from female Common Blue, is two spots on top of one another at the top edge of the Brown Argus hindwing, creating a figure of 8 like this: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/5990925447/in/photolist But this Brown Argus that I photographed in my friend's Rutland garden, lacks this feature and so superficially resembles a Common Blue like this: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/5799969922/in/photolist The spot in question appears to be slightly comma-shaped so maybe the two spots have merged. To add to the confusion the Brown Argus was nectaring on Bird's-foot Trefoil, which is the larval foodplant of Common Blue. An additional identification feature is the marginal orange lunules on the forewing. In Common Blue they usually peter out towards the tip, whereas on Brown Argus they are solidly orange right to the tip, as they are here.
Preferring shade over sun, this butterfly dwells in southern habitats where its host plant, native cane (Arundinaria app.) grows in the forest understory.
It is similar to other species in the Satyrinae family and can be easily confused with Creole Pearly-Eye and Northern Pearly-Eye. The most reliable diagnostic marker of this species is its yellow-orange antennal clubs. The other two species have all black antennal clubs or black with an orange tip.

Comparatively as ducks go : some tips
the long neck and elegance of NOPI is diagnostic on the water and in flight
GWTE is small and compact,and usually reads as smaller/slimmer billed when compared to other western ducks,and especially other teal
at times they walk along the edge feeding, and because of their small size, at distance can be mistaken for shorebirds
Here's a Glaucous Gull attempting a long jump. The dark background was the from the shadowy base of the dark basalt seabird cliffs at Alkefjellet in Svalbard. They breed in the far north right around the Arctic and its scientific name hyperboreus translates as far north. But they often wander south during winter, particularly young birds, and are a regular but scarce visitor to Britain. It is a bit like a large, pale Herring Gull but you can see here its diagnostic white wing tips. Glaucous is an old adjective used to describe this pale grey gull as it means a greyish green or greyish blue, though it is also used to describe the powdery bloom like you get on grapes. An old sailors' name for Glaucous Gull was Burgomeister (or Burgomaster, which means master of the town) but this hasn't really been used since about the 1930s. My old copy of Wayside and Woodland birds by TA Coward (1936) is the only book I have that still called it Burgomaster Gull.

Vadiúj mérővonat kirándul a Kisalföldön
Under the steep hills of Kisalföld with a brand new diagnostic train.
Un mois après l'incendie. Des équipes s'affairent à différents endroits. Les uns "montent" tandis que d'autres "démontent" : statues, vitraux, zinc, pierres fragilisées... La voute comporte toujours des risques d'effondrement. A l'intérieur de la cathédrale, un robot est utilisé pour dégager les gravats. Les travaux pour sécuriser et consolider la cathédrale devraient encore durer trois mois. C'est seulement à la suite qu'un diagnostic sur l'état du monument pourra être établi.

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. The diagnosis requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual's behavior with an associated memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness; in addition, symptoms cannot be the temporary effects of drug use or a general medical condition. The condition first appeared in current medical classification in the 1980 publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) classification, as multiple personality disorder (MPD), which is the term still used by the ICD-10.
There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the topic. There are many commonly disputed points about DID. These viewpoints critical of DID can be quite varied, with some taking the position that DID does not actually exist as a valid medical diagnosis, and others who think that DID may exist but is either always or usually an adverse side effect of therapy. DID diagnoses initially appeared to be almost entirely confined to the North American continent, but later surveys found cases on other continents but at significantly lower rates.
But the interesting part is that all of us tend to do things different one moment or the other, without even noticing it.
a human mind tends to change from time to time, as an improvement and human development.
It will be funny if we would wake up one day and have only one expression on our face that would show sadness or only happiness, friendly or un-friendly, hypocrite or honest.
A human adjust itself to a certain situation or events.
well that's my deduction...
interesting isn't it?...

Catatonia
is a syndrome of psychological and motorological disturbances. In the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV) it is not recognized as a separate disorder, but is associated with psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia (catatonic type), bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental disorders, as well as drug abuse or overdose (or both). It may also be seen in many medical disorders including infections (such as encephalitis), autoimmune disorders, focal neurologic lesions (including strokes), metabolic disturbances and abrupt or overly rapid benzodiazepine withdrawal.
Patients with catatonia may experience an extreme loss of motor skills or even constant hyperactive motor activity. Catatonic patients will sometimes hold rigid poses for hours and will ignore any external stimuli. Patients with catatonic excitement can die of exhaustion if not treated. Patients may also show stereotyped, repetitive movements. They may show specific types of movement such as waxy flexibility, in which they maintain positions after being placed in them by someone else, or gegenhalten (lit. "counterhold"), in which they resist movement in proportion to the force applied by the examiner. They may repeat meaningless phrases or speak only to repeat what the examiner says.
Bad day. Bad bad day.
My friends went to Chicago today to go see the Lion King and eat at the Cheesecake Factory. Where am I at? Sitting on my butt in my room. Why? Because I'm too effing poor to do crap.
Then Garry calls this morning on his way home from work and tells me that he had been asked to go into work tonight. We were supposed to take tonight and tomorrow night and celebrate our anniversary. Is that going to happen now? No. Did he even bother to call me any time in the last seven hours? No.
Haven't eaten anything yet today because the spot doesn't open until 6. Thankfully that's only a half hour away...then I can finally eat something. Will probably be crap because this school could care less about those of us stuck on campus during the weekend...but it's something.
However, I do like this picture. I have high expectations for how it'll do...which sucks cause, with the way my day is going, this thing will be totally ignored by everyone. *sigh* but I still like it...so that's good at least.
