WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.
The wild water buffalo is the probable ancestor of the domestic water buffalo

Happy birding 🍁
Noi umani siamo osservatori grossolani, anche in ragione di sensi di efficienza assai inferiore a quelli di numerose specie animali, ma soprattutto per l'incorreggibile superficialità che ci distingue. Questi alberi, questi cipressi, ad esempio, sembrano a prima vista tutti uguali. Invece sono tutti diversi: ciascuno, proprio come accade agli individui della nostra specie, esprime la propria individualità ..... ..

Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel
Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]
In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.
Beschreibung
Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.
Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.
Eurasian curlew
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew
The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.
This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.
The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.
The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".
The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.

I spotted this African Daisy with these two different petals when I went to collect the mail from the letter box today.
... Our individual well-being is intimately connected both with that of all others and with the environment within which we live.... Our every action, our every deed, word, and thought, no matter how slight or inconsequential it may seem, has an implication not only for ourselves, but for all others, too ~ Dalai Lama
Although it was not far away, this Broad-billed Motmot was perched quietly among vegetation (typical of members of the family) and it was by seeing the characteristic side-to-side movement of the tail that I located it. This individual was on the grounds of the Los Amigos Biological Station on the Rio Madre de Dios in the Amazon Basin in lowland southeastern Peru. [That spot also had the similar but larger Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii), which I did not manage to photograph.]

Kandilakia are small shrines made of concrete, stone, metal or wood and often take the shape of a little church. They hold Orthodox Christian icons, in addition to oil lamps. Sometimes they will even have a small hand censer for the burning of incense.
Most kandilakia have a central door, along with some windows to let the light of a candle out. Larger kandilakia may even be large enough for someone to walk into and use as a small prayer corner.
Kandilakia don't always commemorate a fatal or potentially fatal accident as thought by many. Some kandilakia are placed around cities as public prayer corners, sometimes placed outside churches so people may stop and pray while going about their daily life. Many Orthodox Churches in Greece are kept open at most hours of the day so people may enter and pray or participate in services, but kandilakia will be placed outside in case the church is closed. Some larger kandilakia will also have beeswax candles with a donation box so anyone may pray and light a candle. One may also find kandilakia placed in a cemetery so visitors may pray for and commemorate the departed.
There are also some kandilakia which can be bought and built for private individuals and serve as private chapels on private property. The chapel won't and cannot be used for official services (nor is it large enough), but it usually used as family's private icon/prayer corner.

The Scottish Parliament (Scottish Gaelic: Pàrlamaid na h-Alba; Scots: The Scots Pairlament) is the devolved national, unicameral legislature of Scotland. Located in the Holyrood area of the capital city, Edinburgh, it is frequently referred to by the metonym Holyrood.
The Parliament is a democratically elected body comprising 129 members known as Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs), elected for five-year terms under the additional member system: 73 MSPs represent individual geographical constituencies elected by the plurality ("first past the post") system, while a further 56 are returned from eight additional member regions, each electing seven MSPs.

The Black Jacobin is a striking black and white endemic of woodland habitats from eastern Brazil south to northeast Argentina in a fairly narrow band along the coast. It feeds on the nectar of various native and introduced shrubs and trees and will occasionally occur in congregations of 50 or more individuals around particularly rich nectar resources and when it happens they become very aggressive in the dispute for nectar. Picture taken at Sítio Macuquinho, São Paulo.
Wishing everyone a peaceful bokeh Wednesday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Redpolls travel in flocks of up to several hundred individuals. They move frenetically, foraging on seeds in weedy fields or small trees one minute and swirling away in a mass of chattering birds the next. Their buzzy zap and rising dreeee calls are distinctive.
Snowy egrets hunt in more amusing ways than great blue herons. They are more animated, dashing across the water like this individual, flying short distances to catch their prey, who must be dazzled by their flair.
I'll be away for the next several days, but look forward to catching up with your posts at the end of the week. Stay cool my friends.
Built in 1854, when they put in the light portion at the top of the lighthouse, each of the 256 individual lead glass prisms (which can be seen in today's photo) weighed 50 lbs and had to be carried one by one up all 228 steps. That's a total of 12,800 lbs of lead glass. An exhausting job, for sure!
Individual milkweed flowers are sometimes not really noticed because they are part of the larger round cluster of flowers, but for some reason I ran across a plant where one of the flowers seemed to be pushing the others for dominance.
In case anyone wants a better look at the two from that mating pair I posted recently, here they are with individual portraits- female on the left, male on the right. They favored the same perch, although I flipped the female around so they would face each other. Siskiyou County, California
The woods around Ranmore Common, near Polesden Lacey. It was great light for a short part of the day, so we took advantage of the nice sky, the sunlight on the leaves and the refreshing views. The rainclouds are just coming in over the horizon.

Back in March, we called into the National Botanic Garden of Wales on our way back from visiting my parents. This magnificent structure is the largest single-span great glasshouse in the world & houses some of the most endangered plants on the planet; these come from six areas of the world: California, Australia, the Canary Islands, Chile, South Africa, the Mediterranean basin. This photo was taken on the upper level HWW & HFF!

A male Red Mason bee peering at me out of one of the bamboo canes in my bee hotel that my Dad made. Above to the right is a female with tubes sealed with mud above. These solitary bees lays 5-6 eggs inside each tube separated into individual chambers. The adults then die & the next generation will emerge in the Spring. We had 25 sealed tubes in total this year.
See first comment for a photo of the bee hotel in situ on a telegraph pole in our garden. For Smile on Saturday theme Bee-eautiful HSoS!

Spirit is a Ukranian brand. Every week they have fantastic outfits in the weekend sales, of which I have quite a few. I'm showcasing the latest one available in the most recent Saturday Sale. While each individual item is L$75, I bought both fatpacks. And I will keep doing so, in a minute endeavour to show my support, until the people of Ukraine are free from war, free from terror.

From Wikipedia: The cocoi heron (Ardea cocoi) is a species of long-legged wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae found across South America. It has predominantly pale grey plumage with a darker grey crest. A carnivore, it hunts fish and crustaceans in shallow water.
Feeding: This heron feeds primarily on fish over 20 cm (8 in) long; with mammals, amphibians and sometimes insects also being consumed. Fish species consumed include whitemouth croaker, wolf fish, various Leporinus species up to 200 mm long and streaked prochilod. This heron has also been observed to feed on carrion and Callinectes blue crabs. In Colombia, chicks have also been observed being fed predominantly fish and less frequently with amphibians and crustaceans.
The cocoi heron catches prey by striking its head into the water and thrusting its bill to stab downwards. It may also tilt its head downward above the water so that only its bill is immersed. During feeding, the head and neck move rapidly while the body remains immobile. Feeding is usually diurnal and solitary, especially in Argentina, although in Chile, it is considered to be a largely nocturnal feeder, with diurnal roosting taking place in trees overlooking the water. In Venezuela, it has also been seen foraging in large groups. Where feeding is diurnal, there appears to be a peak in feeding activity at noon and a reduction at dusk.
The cocoi heron appears able to use alternative food sources by exploring foraging sites distant from its breeding colonies, since terrestrial rodents and reptiles and marine organisms have been found in the diet of individuals from freshwater colonies. Some colonies also reside near to estuarine coastland and individuals from these colonies are more reliant on marine prey. Foraging individuals often stay near to colonies and colony site choice has been found to be strongly linked to proximity to high-quality foraging habitats. The heron may also sometimes exploit dead whitemouth croaker discarded by recreational fisheries

These past few days I had the opportunity to collaborate on a project with Jack Hanby
It has been a great experience all along and I had the chance to observe another stylist in action! His incredible talent
Our project was the setup of an Industrial Bar-Bistrot. There were 4 areas to work on. The counter/kitchen where you can see all of Jack's incredible talent in combining materials, styles and different pieces of furniture, the cafe area with small tables, the lounge that we decorated together and the entryway.
Thank you Jack for the honor to work with you side by side. Looking forward to our next project!
Same individual as this previous shot.
I was chasing Autumn Meadowhawk dragonflies in the fallen leaves near a pond at the Montreal Botanical Garden, when I unexpectedly came across this Spotted Spreadwing (Lestes congener) damselfly! It's one of my favorite species, and this individual was calm and fairly cooperative.
Usual suspects: Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox V850ii flash. Six-frame handheld focus stack with EXIF from the first frame. ~20MP free crop to roughly 16:10 apect ratio.
UPDATE: Explored for Nov 7th, at #54! One of my highest Explore rankings! (And sitting at #65 as I type this.)

Cedar waxwing.
The name is derived from the red wax-like substance secreted from wing feathers.
Curious info: waxwings feed on insects and berries. They are known to get drunk when eating fermented berries. Also, they are social birds forming small flocks. If they find food at the end of a branch that is accessible only to one bird, this individual would share, passing berries to birds sitting behind him.

By 1834, the Cherokee had basically been evicted from their capital at New Echota in Georgia. Regrouping less than half a mile from the Georgia border, the Cherokee council continued to evaluate their options. Though the Supreme Court ruled that individuals and states had no right to enforce laws on Native American tribes in Johnson v. M'Intosh (1823), Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) and Worcester v. State of Georgia (1832), the state of Georgia ignored the decision and continued with its policy of Indian Removal and the Jacksonian Presidency did nothing to oppose the state. With the reelection of President Andrew Jackson, some members of the council, notably Major Ridge and his son John Ridge, rethought their position and decided that voluntary removal and favorable terms and payment may be the best option left to the Cherokee.
