A rare sight in the UK !
The Ruddy Duck should have been exterminated by now in the UK, hunted down and shot at a cost of roughly £3,000 a bird. If you see one you are supposed to report its position so it too can be eliminated.
Peak numbers 20 years ago were 6,000 birds – that was down to 26 in 2018 and now there may be as few as 10 to 15.
This is part of a Europe-wide programme aimed at preventing the enthusiastic males impregnating the closely related but endangered white-headed duck, Oxyura leucocephala, of southern Spain. That species was down to 22 birds in 1977 but thanks to careful conservation now numbers more than 2,500.
The Ruddy Duck was brought to Slimbridge, Gloucestershire in the 1940s from North America and thrived, with numbers growing steadily across Europe until the danger to white-headed ducks became apparent. In a rare spirit of European cooperation every colonised country agreed to a cull, aiming at total elimination. The British effort alone has cost £3.3m, mostly to hire the marksmen.
It has been a controversial programme, with many nature lovers appalled at the idea of shooting sitting ducks on their nests. Some bird spotters have therefore been reluctant to report sightings, so there may still be some survivors.
Update 12 .01.2022 : I understand that the duck has now been shot by Defra, so sad.

I created the woman and wall in DDG Text 2 Dream Ai, then layered it over a color-inverted and mirrored and flipped version of Robbi's source at 38%, then applied Topaz Studio look "Pony Espresso" over all and made color changes. All modifications were done in beta PS 2023 except the final filter.
Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.

Isaiah 13:9 “Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with fury and burning anger, to make the land a desolation; and He will exterminate its sinners from it.”
Riverside TV Studios and theatre. Hammersmith, London. Not sure if this is the same Dalek I've seen at the BBC studios in central London and they move it around or they have two.
Cattle truck at Auschwitz-Birkenau. These trucks were used to transport prisoners across Europe to Auschwitz-Birkenau and other concentration and extermination camps. Up to 100 people were crammed into these trucks for sometimes days. With no food or water, a bucket for sanitation and poor ventilation, many people died on these trucks.
The bears will be exterminated as they were exterminated in the 19th century. Human beings have made no progress in their relationship with animals. The Earth is ours, only ours as humans: this is the common feeling.
Now in Trentino (Italy) it has also been decided to kill M90 (Sonny) and 8 other bears every year.
A protest demonstration is planned in the square in Trento for Saturday 4 February.
Man, you will be alone on Earth, having destroyed it and left nothing for future generations. Profit here and now: this obviously matters to people.
Stermineranno gli orsi come sono stati sterminati nell'800. L'essere umano non ha fatto nessun progresso nel rapporto con gli animali. La Terra è nostra, solo nostra di noi umani: questo è il sentimento comune.
Ora è stata decisa in Trentino anche l'uccisione di Sonny (M90) e prossimamente di 8 orsi l'anno.
E' prevista una manifestazione di protesta in piazza a Trento per sabato 4 febbraio.
Uomo, sarai solo sulla Terra, dopo averla distrutta e non aver lasciato nulla alle future generazioni. Il profitto qui e ora: questo conta evidentemente per le persone.

Just another shot. I took a boatload of pictures the other day to post these coming weeks. I'm on Christmas break until the second week of January, so expect a lot from me. -Matthew

When I saw Snugbury's hay sculpture this year I was so excited. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and the Dalek's we're always my favourite.
I'd been meaning to do it from the moment it was put up but the weather just wasn't right, Then Phil and Carl text me to go and do it and the weather was perfect.
Did face a few problems when we got there. There was a giant light illuminating it, not good for a star trail, so we set looking for a plug to turn it off, then it comes to life "EXTERMINATE!" starts moving it's head and lighting up. Scared everyone, but was a laugh, and not being too subtle at the same time.
So having to kee 10ft away at all times, I put a microfibre cloth over the light and we got trailing. This was 1 hour long.
Really happy with the result, such a unique subject.
Enjoy!

Yama
In a large pit in the middle of town here, at a place called Yama, stands a monument dedicated to 5,000 Jews killed by the Nazis in, 1942. This sculpture representing a group of people descending a slope, who were led into this pit of horror.
Here victims were forced to dig their own mass-grave, were shot by the Nazis and thrown into the pit and buried, some still alive. This site, where many victims were killed in whirlwind of extermination, is now surrounded by modern residential buildings.
The Red Lily Beetle, scourge of your garden lilies, regarded in the UK as an invasive species with no predators and no biological controls...feel free to squish on sight.
A squad of T-800s is eradicating a xenomorph nest. But with that acidic blood splatter they need to be careful.
Personally I found this shot really difficult, there's a lot going on and I had trouble getting a decent angle.
say the daleks....Years ago (like 40+) the producers asked kids to write new episodes of Dr. Who. The results proved too violent to produce.
Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was the largest camp in the Third Reich. According to historical investigations, 1,5 million people, among them a great number of Jews, were systematically starved, tortured and murdered in this camp.
Auschwitz - Birkenau is the symbol of holocaust and humanity's cruelty to its fellow human beings in the 20th century.
In June 2007, The World Heritage Committee has approved Poland's request to change the name of Auschwitz on UNESCO's World Heritage List. After international consultations, the property, listed as "Auschwitz Concentration Camp" in 1979, is to have the title of "Auschwitz Birkenau" and the subtitle of "German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945). July 2nd 2007 was also the 60th anniversary of oppening Auschwitz Museum.

"Death Wall." From 1941-1943, the SS shot several thousand people at the Death Wall in the courtyard between Blocks No. 10 and 11. Those who died here were mostly Polish political prisoners, and above all leaders and members of the underground organization, people involved in planning escapes and aiding escapees, and those maintaining contacts with the outside world
