I've never uploaded a photo like this to Flickr. Let's try it, and see if anyone clicks on it.
This is a fencepost. It, and its fellows, have been there for decades. Since there's no visible lichen growth, and not much decay, I assume that the posts were treated with some preservative. (Actually, there's a grass plant growing at the top of one of them.)
I just aimed and shot, hoping to get some detail and the background. I enhanced the contrast a bit with The Gimp. The visible growth rings mean that the spring wood, with thicker cell walls, is more intact than the alternate rings of summer wood.
Thanks for looking. Larger sizes, looking pretty much like this, are available.
Many of the rails and posts of the fences were covered with lichen at the Historic Batsto Village.

Fenceposts in the Finglandrigg Wood Nature Reserve included in Forest Bug nymph surveys undertaken from April 2015 onwards, 27 November 16.
Details of the surveys themselves will be posted early next year along with an analysis of the results presented in histogram form. The exercise has been broadly comparable to that undertaken for Blue Shieldbugs monitored on the boardwalk of the Kingmoor Sidings Nature Reserve, Carlisle, earlier this year (see photo posted on 22 October for background).
In the interim I thought I'd provide a bit of context by posting some shots of the relevant parts of the route through the reserve taken whilst doing today's count (19 second-instars found). Forest Bug nymphs have been found on all of the sections of fencing shown in these photos at some time or other. The locations of the shots are described below.

I should point out that the extent of the monitoring varied from visit to visit dependent on a number of factors, but today's was a full survey covering approximately 430 fenceposts and taking about 2.5 hours in all.

Not entirely sure where I was for this. Somewhere in the vicinity of Trefforest, but up a minr road I'd never been on before.
HFF!
Oconto County, Wisconsin. I loved this winter farm field and was thrilled with the clouds on this day. Holga camera.
This Swainson's Hawk was hanging around a farm when I went for a drive SW of the city, on 26 June 2013. I'd noticed it in the area previously, but never close enough for a photo. Wish the sun was shining that brightly today, instead of the totally overcast sky.

Just read the results of the 17th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (Feb 14 to 17, 2014), when scientists and citizens around the world joined forces for the Great Backyard Bird Count. The GBBC is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with partner Bird Studies Canada and support from sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited. A couple of interesting facts are:
"It was another exciting, record-breaking year for the Great Backyard Bird Count. The final 2014 GBBC results are in! Participants in 135 countries around the globe submitted more than 144,000 checklists. Canada made a stellar contribution with 13,458 checklists.
The Northern Cardinal appeared on more checklists than any other bird, while the Red-winged Blackbird was the most numerous species, with more than 1.6 million individuals counted." From BirdStudiesCanada.
"Last year’s bird count went beyond North America for the first time and shattered records for the number of bird species that were identified. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, people from 111 countries and territories from all seven continents recorded more than 34.5 million birds, representing almost 4,000 species, in just four days." From CBC News.

Too bad that people around the world can't get together like this when it comes to politics, not just birding! Well done, everyone!
