Curlew - Numenius Arquata
They are one of the most ancient lineages of scolopacid waders, together with the godwits which look similar but have straight bills.
Curlews feed on mud or very soft ground, searching for worms and other invertebrates with their long bills. They will also take crabs and similar items.
Curlews enjoy a worldwide distribution. Most species show strong migratory habits and consequently one or more species can be encountered at different times of the year in Europe, Ireland, Britain, Iberia, Iceland, Africa, Southeast Asia, Siberia, North America, South America and Australasia.
The distribution of curlews has altered considerably in the past hundred years as a result of changing agricultural practices. Reclamation and drainage of marshy fields and moorland, and afforestation of the latter, have led to local decreases, while conversion of forest to grassland in some parts of Scandinavia has led to increases there.

Around lake Rådasjön a nature reserve consists, apart from the lake, the surrounding land areas with riparian forests, open pastures and deciduous forests of mainly oak. The entire area is a well preserved example of a Swedish west higher class environment around Rada manor and together with the adjacent castle Gunnebo formed a biologically and historically valuable whole. The nature reserve includes several valuable habitats which now has little distribution in Sweden. Rådasjöns Reserve is 351 hectares and is located in close proximity to urban areas Molnlycke and Mölndal

New Holland Honeyeater
Phylidonyris novaehollandiae
With long, slender beaks and a tongue which can protrude well beyond the end of their beaks, New Holland Honeyeaters are able to probe for nectar in the deep flowers of Banksias and Grevilleas.
Calls: The voice comprises a loud 'chik', a fainter 'pseet' and some chattering notes. If danger, such as a bird of prey approaches, a group of honeyeaters will join together and give a loud alarm call.
Minimum Size: 18cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 18cm
Average weight: 20g
Breeding season: any time of year; mainly summer and winter
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 16 days
Description: The New Holland Honeyeater is mostly black and white, with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. It has a small white ear patch, a thin white whisker at the base of the bill and a white eye. This honeyeater is an active bird, and rarely sits still long enough to give an extended view. Sexes are similar in looks, but females are slightly smaller in size. Young birds are browner and have a grey eye.
Similar species: One very similar species is the White-cheeked Honeyeater,Phylidonyris nigra. This species has a single large white cheek patch and a dark eye. The two species frequently occur together.
Distribution: The New Holland Honeyeater's range extends throughout southern Australia, from about Brisbane, Queensland, to just north of Perth, Western Australia.
Habitat: The New Holland Honeyeater is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. It is inquisitive and approaches humans. It also mixes with other types of honeyeaters.
Feeding: New Holland Honeyeaters are active feeders. They mostly eat the nectar of flowers, and busily dart from flower to flower in search of this high-energy food. Other food items include fruit, insects and spiders. Birds may feed alone, but normally gather in quite large groups. Most feeding takes place in lower areas of bushes and thickets.
Breeding: The New Holland Honeyeater's cup-shaped nest is made of bark and grasses, bound together with spider web. It is lined with soft material and is placed in a bush or tree, anywhere from ground level up to 6 m. Both sexes feed the chicks. A pair of adults may raise two or three broods in a year.

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Southern Africa
The steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) is a common small antelope of southern and eastern Africa. It is sometimes known as the steinbuck or steinbok.
There are two distinct clusters in steenbok distribution. In southern Africa, it occurs in Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
Steenbok can use a variety of habitats from semi-desert, such as the edge of the Kalahari Desert and Etosha National Park, to open woodland and thickets, including open plains, stony savannah, and Acacia–grassland mosaics. Steenbok are typically solitary. Steenbok are known to live for 7 years or more.
Steenbok typically browse on low-level vegetation, but are also adept at scraping up roots and tubers. They will take fruits and only very rarely graze on grass. They are almost entirely independent of drinking water, gaining the moisture they need from their food.
Known predators include African wild cat, caracal, jackals, leopard, martial eagle and pythons. Wikipedia
british-dragonflies.org.uk/species/black-tailed-skimmer
Description
Length: 44-49mm
Flight period: May to August (less abundantly also in late April, September and October)
Females and immatures: pale, yellowish brown with tho bold lines running along the length of the abdomen. The wings have a yellow costa and a very dark brown or black pterostigma.
Male: develops a blue pruinescence on the abdomen darkening to the rear with with S8-10 becoming black. Its eyes are very dark green. They fly swift and low, skimming the water surface.
Females retain their colur and markings though they become quite greyish brown with age.
Dr. Chris Thomas photographed and timed the hatching sequence of a female Black-tailed Skimmer and has placed it on the web as part of a longer photo tour of the BBC Springwatch East Day at Marston Vale, June 2006. The first photo of the sequence can be found here.
Habitat
This dragonfly is found at any open water with bare patches along the shore where the patrolling males frequently rest in the sun.
Status & Distribution
Fairly common. Southern England, parts of Wales and Ireland. Increasing its range northwards.
I remembered 80-20 rule. For example:
80% of a company's sales come from 20% of its products.
80% of a company's sales are made by 20% of its sales staff.
The same can be said of flickr photostream.
80% of photo view count come from 20% of its photos.
Therefore, economists claim many businesses have an easy access to improvements by focusing on the most effective areas and eliminating the rest.
But when it comes to photography, this way of thinking seems to lack artistic depth and interestingness.
I would like to thank everyone who has viewed, commented and faved any of my photos.
This is my 500th flickr upload.

The yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) is a regular North American bird species that can be commonly observed all across the continent. Its extensive distribution range connects both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the U.S. as well as Canada. Called the "Butter-butt" by Tom, the species combines four closely related forms: the eastern myrtle warbler (spp. coronata); its western counterpart, Audubon's warbler (spp. group auduboni); the northwest Mexican black-fronted warbler (spp. nigrifrons); and the Guatemalan Goldman's warbler (spp. goldmani). I can't believe I got the Audubon's Warbler before I got this guy.
It's even more surprising because the Yellow-rumped warbler lives in the Coastal Redwood trees across from my office window. I can see them flitting in an out, but not one has ever been to my back patio for bugs. And why not? The Bewick's wren is here ever day going through the leaf litter. But the YRW, 47 years and not so much as a "Howdy do."
This one was captured at the Carquinez Strait marsh and grassland, in the dead reeds, and fortunately had his butt turned toward me. I have never seen a male in all its glory, and it is one gorgeous bird.
The red-crowned woodpecker has a rather restricted distribution, from Costa Rica in the north to Surinam in the southeast. Curiously, Tobago is the only Caribbean island on which it is found. It is absent from Trinidad but unlikely to have been an introduction on Tobago. The female lacks the red crown.
