This was the first time I'd been lucky enough to encounter a young Cuckoo being fed by its host (on this occasion a hapless Meadow Pipit). I was able to watch the behaviour for about 20 minutes. The demanding Cuckoo made a surprisingly thin begging call for such a large bird, perhaps mimicking fledglings of its host species. In any case, the Meadow Pipit was run off its feet (flown off its wings) trying to keep up, completely immersed in the deception. Image taken at Grigadale on the beautiful Ardnamurchan Peninsula in Scotland.

Antic hostal de camí ral, situat en una collada del municipi de Sant Agustí de Lluçanès (Osona), sota la muntanya dels Munts, en un indret travessat per antics camins ramaders i per la moderna cruïlla de carreteres que enllacen el Lluçanès amb el Ripollès i la plana de Vic.
Antiga masoveria de la masia del Vilar de Sant Boi, fins el 1965, és una masia de tipus basilical que té a la llinda la data de 1756. S'hi celebra una tradicional fira de bestiar el 28 de setembre, en l’època que els ramats de les contrades pirinenques i subpirinenques baixen a hivernar a les zones, més càlides, de l’interior. La fira se celebra en camp obert, i l’hostal li ha donat el nom de fira de l’Hostal del Vilar. (enciclopèdia.cat)

"Crete hosts an extremely rare and endemic variety of plane trees (Platanus orientalis var. Cretica) with about 50 trees being reported throughout the island. The characteristic feature of this variety is that it is evergreen, unlike the common deciduous plane trees.
One of these trees is of great historical and mythological value and has survived the centuries, since the Minoan era. This is the plane of Gortyna, which still stands proudly in the back side of the current archaeological site of ancient Gortys.
The plane was dedicated to Zeus and according to mythology, under this tree, Zeus mated with Europa after transferring her to Crete from [the Levant]*. This is where she conceived her children; Minos, Sarpedon and Radamanthys. Since then, the plane did not lose its foliage again. The importance given to this tree is very clear by the depiction of Europa under the tree in the ancient coins of Gortys."
