A difference between the Viceroy and Monarch butterfly is the black line drawn across the viceroy's hind wings, which the monarch lacks. The viceroy is also a bit smaller than the monarch, but this can be hard to tell unless they are together.

 

The best way to tell A Viceroy and Monarch apart when they are flying are their wingbeats. The monarch is lazier, looking like it is floating on slow wingbeats. The Viceroy, however, has much faster wingbeats with a frenetic, choppy flight.

The only difference between mist and fog is visibility [1]. This phenomenon is called fog if the visibility is one kilometre (1,100 yards) or less (in the UK for driving purposes the definition of fog is visibility less than 200 metres, for pilots the distance is 1 kilometre). Otherwise it is known as mist. Seen from a distance, mist is bluish, and haze is more brownish.[citation needed]

 

Religious connotations are associated with mist in some cultures; it is used as a metaphor in 2 Peter 2:17.

Standard stirfry, in order and in peanut oil: broccoli stems, celery, diced garlic & ginger, green pepper, tomato, broccoli flowerets, sliced mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, and fried and sliced veggie 'bacon'.

 

EXCEPT: after adding the diced tomato, I splashed in 1/3 cup of vodka!

 

Ever since I had 'Penne ala Vodka' at a great little Italian restaurant a while ago, I've been trying to find ways to add vodka to other foods, and I was curious to see what it would do in Aisan cuisine. I think it made a perceptible difference in the richness of the taste! In any event, my wife thought it was delicious! :-)

 

Finished off with a sauce made of the juice of a lemon, a glug of Maggi, Chinese Premium Soy Sauce, Chinese cooking wine, a little splash of fish sauce, and a little teaspoon of (aargh!) MSG, with a forkfull of cornstarch stired in at the end.

 

Served over a bed of Basmati rice and topped with sliced green onion.

The building on the other side of the road is where my doctor (General Practitioner) works. It is called a 'surgery', although no surgery such as might involve scalpels and anaesthesia takes place here. The building was originally a railway station, and was only converted to its current purpose about 6 years ago. It is within public transport and (if I'm feeling fit) walking distance of my flat, so when it opened, I signed on. When I visited the first time, my GP met me at the ground floor reception and followed me up the stairs (lots of them) to her consulting room. She explained that they were doing that with all new patients as it is possible to quickly glean a lot of physical information. There is a tiny lift (elevator) and those who are very unwell/unfit are seen in rooms on the ground floor.

Most of the pedestrians were waiting for the "green man" , although a few were taking their chances through the traffic. In some other countries (eg Germany, Singapore) this practice is frowned upon, or even fined. When I have grandchildren or visitors from other countries (eg USA) I always tell them to wait. An avoidable danger.

What a difference a week makes! Where's is the sun? Working on its inaugural revenue earning day, the newly restored Riddles designed '2MT' 2-6-0 no.78022 climbs Oakworth Bank with ease with the 14:45 Keighley-Oxenhope train.

 

The Darlington built '2MT' was saved from Barry Scrapyard in 1975 and first returned to steam in 1993. After a long period in the railway’s museum at Oxenhope, she was recently surperbly outshopped in BR green livery.

I took advantage of an empty spot in one of my sketching pamphlets (lower right hand corner) and added a quick watercolor sketch from my ride yesterday. And wow! What a difference my color selections are from March until now, early June!

What a difference an hour makes! Low cloud and fog shrouded Burrator Reservoir on arrival

The glorious vista that would have greeted rail passengers to Burrator Halt. Built in 1924, as the area around Burrator Reservoir had become an attraction to ramblers after the completion of the reservoir in 1898.

Burrator Halt was on the Princetown Railway which opened with trains operating from Horrabridge until the opening of Yelverton station in 1885.

 

The area is still a magnet for ramblers and tourists but sadly the railway closed in 1956, much of the trackbed is now a footpath/cycle track.

Why is it that we are driven to create art? Of course, there are hundreds, thousands, probably millions of reasons to create art – anything from personal motivations to causes that the artist supports or statements that need to be made. But there is one broad umbrella that most, if not all art falls under, I think. At its heart, art is made so that it can be enjoyed by others...

Whilst the rest of the country basked in glorious sunshine parts of the Yorkshire coast was under a sea fog or locally known as sea fret. Sadly, it did not lift. It was a bit disappointing as it was my first visit here in 5 years!!!

  

www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/b/bemptoncliffs/index.aspx

  

Top things to do in Summer

 

1.Experience the sights, sounds and smells of the miraculous seabird spectacle at the peak of the breeding season

2.The surrounding fields are bejewelled by glorious red campion flowers

3.Enjoy a bite to eat in the family-friendly picnic area

  

www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/b/bemptoncliffs/about.aspx

  

A family favourite, and easily the best place in England to see, hear and smell seabirds! More than 200,000 birds (from April to August) make the cliffs seem alive – with adults bringing food to their nests, or young chicks making their first faltering flights.

 

With huge numbers to watch, beginners can easily learn the difference between gannets, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and fulmars. The easily recognisable puffins (here between April and July) are always a delight. Specially-created cliff top viewpoints are wheelchair accessible with care.

 

You can watch our 200,000 seabirds LIVE on CCTV through the breeding season from March to October. Meet our information assistants and hear about the live action, watch it for yourself on our two TV screens and enjoy the close-up images of our nesting gannets.

  

Opening times

  

The reserve is open at all times. From March to October, the visitor centre is open daily from 9.30 am to 5 pm, and from November to February, 9.30 am to 4 pm.

  

Entrance charges

  

Entry is free of charge to members all year. There's a charge for non-members of £5 per car, minibus £8 and coach £10.

  

If you are new to birdwatching...

  

The birds are easy to see during breeding season - creating a fantastic seascape and bird spectacle. Only eight target seabird species breed here, so learning to identify birds is simple. In winter, common passerines (buntings, sparrows and finches) and short-eared owls (vary in numbers from one year to next) can be seen and identified.

  

Information for families

  

Reserve already popular with families. Various family events included in our programme throughout the year. Backpack Activity days very popular.

  

Information for dog owners

  

Dogs are welcome on the reserve, however they must be kept on leads at all times. This is to ensure that ground nesting birds are not disturbed, and also to ensure the safety of dogs on the cliff top.

  

www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/b/bemptoncliffs/star_speci...

  

Star species

  

Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.

  

Gannet

  

Look for stunning gannets cruising around at the base of the cliffs and fishing out to sea by rising up into the air before plunging in headfirst with their wings close.

  

Kittiwake

  

Visit Bempton in spring and early summer and your ears will be filled with the unmistakable 'kitti-wake' calls of this dainty gull. Look along the cliffs to see them packed onto their tiny nesting ledges.

  

Puffin

  

Enjoy the comical antics of puffins in spring and early summer from the viewing points on the cliffs. Watch the adults returning from fishing forays at sea with sandeels hanging from their colourful beaks.

  

Short-eared owl

  

Short-eared owls can be seen hunting over the clifftop grassland here in winter. The afternoons are a good time to spot them banking and gliding just above the ground; their piercing yellow eyes scanning for voles moving in the grass below.

  

Tree sparrow

  

Flocks of tree sparrows can be seen in the cliff top fields and are regular visitors to the feeding stations. Listen out for their conversational calls - a hard and piercing 'tek'.

   

www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/b/bemptoncliffs/seasonal_h...

  

Seasonal highlights

  

Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.

  

Spring

  

Breeding seabirds start to return, including gannets, puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, kittiwakes, herring gulls and shags. Farmland birds such as skylarks, tree sparrows, linnets, meadow pipits, reed and corn buntings can be seen. There are normally short-eared owls and peregrines to be seen too. Migratory birds include arriving wheatears and various warblers, while over-wintering thrushes can be seen on the reserve before moving back into mainland Europe. Porpoises can often be seen on calm days while early morning visits may provide sightings of roe deer.

  

Summer

  

Breeding season is in full swing with all 200,000 seabirds with eggs or chicks. Breeding tree sparrows, whitethroats, grasshopper warblers, sedge warblers, skylarks, linnets, reed buntings, rock and meadow pipits can be seen within 200 m of the visitor centre and car park. A moderate range of the commoner butterflies may be seen on sunny days, along with day-flying moths such as cinnabars, burnet moths and occasionally hummingbird hawk-moths. Trailside flora is dominated by red campion, black knapweed, various thistles and orchids including common spotted, northern marsh and pyramidal.

  

Autumn

  

All seabirds departed and breeding finished except for gannets. The autumnal migration can be exciting at Bempton owing to its coastal location and being on a headland. Short-eared owls begin to arrive to stay for the winter (depending on food availability) but the main interest is in the arrival of migrants such as willow warblers, chiffchaffs, whitethroats, lesser whitethroats, reed warblers, sedge warblers, goldcrests, stonechats, whinchats, wheatears and redstarts. Scarce species occur annually such as red-backed shrikes, and barred and icterine warblers. October is peak time to witness the winter thrush arrival, often hundreds of redwings, blackbirds, song thrushes and fieldfares occur along with occasional ring ouzels. Offshore, movements of seabirds may be seen in ideal weather conditions (strong NW winds). These include Manx and sooty shearwaters, Arctic and great skuas. Around the car park area migrant hawker and common darter dragonflies can be seen. There is little botanical interest at this time of year.

  

Winter

  

This is normally a quiet time of year. Bracing clifftop walks and fantastic seascapes are probably the best in Yorkshire. Up to 12 short-eared owls winter here, though in poor 'vole' years there may only be a few. The bird feeding station offers food and shelter to a range of commoner species such as tree sparrows (110 have been counted), greenfinch (60), and smaller numbers of blackbirds, robins, dunnocks, wrens, chaffinches, bramblings and various tit species. The cliff face attracts very few birds except for occasional herring gulls and fulmars, but by January gannets will return in good numbers with occasional days of guillemots in good numbers too.

Management

  

Our Bempton Cliffs reserve, on the Yorkshire coast, protects over five kilometres of sea cliffs. From April to mid-August, these support England's largest population of seabirds. Grassland and scrub along the cliff tops are also home to breeding and wintering farmland birds.

 

The RSPB is managing the reserve for the benefit of its wildlife, which also includes seals and porpoises, and with a long-term view to upgrading its protection status.

  

Cliff-face communities

  

Bempton's breeding seabirds are internationally important, making the cliffs both a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area.

 

Species include kittiwakes, gannets, guillemot, razorbills and puffins. We have specific targets for every one: for instance, we would like to maintain a yearly kittiwake population of 43,000 nesting pairs, producing at least one young each.

 

During the breeding season, our cliff-top patrols help prevent disturbance by visitors and fishermen.

  

Leading by example

  

Unfortunately seabird colonies are vulnerable to environmental threats that lie beyond our control. These include climate change and industrial fishing, which affect the birds' food supplies. We aim to use Bempton to highlight these issues, so that key decision makers will take action to safeguard the long-term future of seabirds. We hope this will lead to Bempton being designated a marine Special Conservation Area.

  

Room at the top

  

The grassland and scrub at the top of the cliffs are home to farmland birds such as tree sparrows, skylarks and linnets. Short-eared owls also spend winter here.

 

We are cutting back scrub and harrowing grassland in order to increase the population of insects and small mammals on which all these birds feed. We also put out extra food when necessary.

  

Vision for visitors

  

The seabird spectacle at Bempton makes the reserve very popular during summer, while the farmland birds help generate interest all-year-round. We aim to continue attracting and educating people, and inspiring them to support the marine environment.

 

Our facilities currently include a shop, picnic area and cliff top walks. We aim to develop these, with a view to increasing numbers to 60,000 visitors per annum over the next five years.

  

Tracking gannets

  

For the first time, we're finding out where Bempton's gannets go when they're away from the colony.

 

RSPB scientists have fitted satellite tags to a number of adult gannets so that we can monitor where they go to catch fish. The tags are designed so that they don't hurt or hinder the birds, and they will eventually fall off when the gannets grow new tail feathers, if not sooner.

 

We need to find out whether the birds are using areas which the government has earmarked as potential wind farms, and how that might affect them. This information will be used to help plan where to put wind turbines at sea.

 

What we're doing

 

•Fourteen adult gannets were fitted with satellite tags in July 2010 (and another 13 in July 2011)

•In 2010 we got data from all 14 tags during the time when the gannets were rearing their chicks, and several kept transmitting data late into the breeding season

•The highest density of recorded locations at sea was within 31-62 miles (50-100 km) of Bempton Cliffs

•The greatest overlap with any of the proposed wind farm areas was with the Hornsea zone, which is nearest to Bempton

•These results are from just one breeding season, so it's unclear just how representative they are of what Bempton's gannets do. We'll monitor them again in future breeding seasons to learn more.

 

You can find out more about this work on the gannet tracking project page.

THORNWICK Bay...(pronounced Thornick... welcome to Yorkshire, lol)

 

Thornwick Bay derives it's name from "Thor" the God of Thunder because of the roar of the breaking waves on the rocks during a North Easterly gale which pounds the magnificent cliffs.

 

In the winter when the winds are strong and the weather is bad, when the waves hit the rocks, foam and spray blows up the cliff and over the cafe, but thankfully most people come to visit in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months when the weather is much calmer, and people can sit on the cliff top and admire the fantastic scenery and watch the sun reflect off the brilliant white chalk cliffs which have been cleaned by the winter storms over thousands of years.

 

The stretch of water North of the Lighthouse was named 'the graveyard' by the skippers and crew of sailing vessels which once they had lost the safety of Bridlington Bay, and without the aids of navigation and weather forecasting which we now take for granted, were at the mercy of the angry weather, Marine charts show hundreds of wrecks all within a few miles radius of Thornwick bay.

 

A great many people visit Thornwick Bay each year to enjoy wonderful cliff top walks observing the abundance of seabirds including Puffins, Guillemots and Kittiwakes etc.

 

Always you have the 'risk-takers' who will venture and walk the very narrow and crumbly ridge to get to the furthest point.

 

Do you spot this one?

Have a lovely day and thank you, as always, M, (*_*)
