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.

Autumn in the park

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)

The defensive structure that was already present when the town was founded by the Romans was integrated over time with towers and bastions. The Rocchetta (small castle) built by Egidio Albornoz in the 14th century is still visible, together with the Rocca (castle) of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta that was added in 1450.

 

The current structure of the monument is due to Giovanni della Rovere, Prince of Senigallia, and son-in-law of Federico III da Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino. It was the Duke Federico who offered Giovanni the best architects of the time: Luciano Laurana and Baccio Pontelli. The works started in 1478 with the purpose of adapting the castle to the new defensive needs. In 1503 the Rocca was conquered by Cesare Borgia, the author of the famous massacre carried out in Senigallia and described by Niccolò Machiavelli.

 

Rocca Roveresca is a unique monument because it was not only a fortress, but also a noble palace, and the seat of an artillery academy founded by Guidubaldo della Rovere in 1533. After the extinction of the ducal dynasty, when the town returned under the domain of the Church in 1631, the castle was used as a papal prison and an orphanage.

 

Today it hosts art exhibitions and prestigious cultural events.

Amazing sunset views

 

Every year about this time, I watch the hosta plants emerge and I am captivated. Last year I was testing a lens and this is one of the shots captured.

 

If I remember correctly, shot with Rodenstock Retina Heligon 50mm f1.9.

Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) on a Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) plant. As was emphasized at a recent butterfly garden presentation you need both host plants and nectar plants to have the most successful butterfly friendly garden.
