Pallas's cat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallas%27s_cat ~ The Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul), also called manul, is a small wild cat with a broad but fragmented distribution in the grasslands and montane steppes of Central Asia. It is negatively affected by habitat degradation, prey base decline, and hunting, and has therefore been classified as Near Threatened by IUCN since 2002.
The Pallas's cat was named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who first described the cat in 1776 under the binomial Felis manul.
Characteristics ~ The Pallas's cat is about the size of a domestic cat, its body is 46 to 65 cm (18 to 26 in) long and its tail is 21 to 31 cm (8.3 to 12.2 in) long. It weighs 2.5 to 4.5 kg (5.5 to 9.9 lb). The combination of its stocky posture and long, dense fur makes it appear stout and plush. Its fur is ochre with dark vertical bars on the torso and forelegs. The winter coat is greyer and less patterned than the summer coat. There are clear black rings on the tail and dark spots on the forehead. The cheeks are white with narrow black stripes running from the corners of the eyes. The chin and throat are also white, merging into the greyish, silky fur of the underparts. Concentric white and black rims around the eyes accentuate their rounded shape. The legs are proportionately shorter than those of other cats, the ears are set very low and wide apart, and it has unusually short claws. The face is shortened compared with other cats, giving it a flattened face. The pupils are circular. The shorter jaw has fewer teeth than is typical among cats, with the first pair of upper premolars missing, but the canine teeth are large.
Distribution and habitat ~ Pallas's cats are native to the steppe regions of Central Asia, where they inhabit elevations of up to 5,050 m (16,570 ft) in the Tibetan Plateau. They also inhabit some parts of Mongolia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kashmir, and occur across much of western China. They also are found in the Transbaikal regions of Russia, and less frequently, in the Altai, Tyva, and Buryatia Republics. In 1997, they were reported for the first time as being present in the eastern Sayan Mountains.
Until the early 1970s, only two Pallas's cats were recorded in the Transcaucasus, both encountered near the Araks River in northwestern Iran, but no records existed from Azerbaijan. Populations in the Caspian Sea region, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, are thought to be declining and becoming increasingly isolated.
In recent years, several Pallas' cats were photographed for the first time during camera trapping surveys:
in Iran's Khojir National Park in 2008;
in the Eastern Himalayas: in Bhutan's Wangchuck Centennial Park in April 2012;[10] and above 4,100 m (13,500 ft) in the Jigme Dorji National Park in autumn 2012;
in Pakistan's Qurumber National Park above 3,400 m (11,200 ft) in July 2012;
in Nepal's Annapurna Conservation Area above 4,200 m (13,800 ft) in December 2012 and December 2013.
I'm not sure what this lapwing was looking so grumpy about. They are quite strange-looking birds. This was taken at Pardoo Station, a working cattle station (= ranch) that also provides large amounts of camping and some basic accommodation. Most of the campers were there for the fishing - when the tide is right the fishing is apparently really good (the north-west of WA has some huge tides - we never saw the sea at all while at Pardoo as we didn't get our timing right). A good place to stop for a few days although next time we might try camping at Cape Keruadren.

Still got the old back problem so haven't done much this past week and I am getting so grumpy.
I did manage to pop into town yesterday and ended up buying a fab prom dress for a tenner. I was intending on doing some photos but things wouldn't allow it to happen (lack of movement)
This is pretty much how I look in normal life the only makeup being my eyes one eyebrow and my cheek. nothing on my lower jaw, top lip, chin or nose, My hair is getting long enough to pull back with just about enough to make the front ok. Have to say I would benefit from a fringe piece and will most probably get one once I decide what colour my hair be.
Mr Grumpy this afternoon.
Charlie has been suffering with blistered feet for the last week or so and therefore his walking has been limited to a wander along the road a couple of times a day.
Though the wind was howling this afternoon it wasn't raining so I decided to give him a walk along the river but without a ball so he would be chilled and just have a wander and do 'doggy things'.
He soon worked out I had no ball with me and that was it, he was going to wander 50 or so yards in front of me and sulk, really sulk.
Hell has no fury like Charlie when he gets his Ar$e out!! Lol.

Soon, the tawny frogmouths will move inside for the cold seasons. It's time for a late-summer photo! Here's Jim. He was feeling a little grumpy this day, scolding zoo guests who came close to him. Good thing he's so attractive.
I was fortunate to attend a meetup sponsored by my camera of choice, Sony. One of the highlights was being able to shoot with the 300 f2.8 and the 500 f4.0 which I used on this shot. We were shooting at the Mountsberg Conservation Area near Campbelleville Ontario and the awesome birds were from the Raptor Center there. Cropped version of previous photo.

I saw a gosling sitting by a small pond, as I kneeled down to take his picture, he turned to face me and seemed to be making a grumpy expression.
Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica)
Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary, Saanich, BC
This baby isn't really grumpy, its just the way its beak curves. There were several of the on the bridge railing and the support cable, all waiting to have lunch delivered.
Not one of life's natural smilers, this was one of a flock of similar birds atop Dorset's Durdle Door arch
