This is a Monk Parakeet we saw in Barcelona. We saw a few in Athens as well.
Coming from the north we had not seen them before and we loved them.
But they seem to be a menace in the countries they settle in. It is considered an invasive species 🤔

While exploring Windsor, Ontario’s Malden Park I came across clusters of this purple wildflower. A little research has me believing that this is ‘hesperis matronalis’ more commonly referred to as ‘Dames’ Rocket’. This plant is part of the mustard family and is considered to be an invasive plant species. But on this particular morning the flower in the sunlight was quite pretty.

Schon beim Eintritt in die Atmosphäre waren erste Anzeichen einer höheren Zivilisation erkennbar.
Als die Aldebaraner gegen Abend eine Straße entdeckten, konnten sie mit ihrem Ultraskop das Abbild eines zweibeinigen Wesens modellieren. Mit diesem Kostüm verkleidet begannen sie erste Kommunikationsversuche mit einem stark schwankenden Zweibeiner, der kurze Zeit später die Straße passierte...
Introduced plant species now outnumber the known species of Australian natives, botanists say. About 27,500 introduced plant species have made their way into the country, compared to 24,000 native plants. Many environmental weeds are successfully invading ecosystems. They have escaped from gardens and farms and are invading creeklines, woodlands and coastal areas. Many of these plants are fast growing and have highly successful reproductive and seed dispersal mechanisms, including abundant seed production, seeds that remain viable for many years, and fruit and seeds that are attractive to birds and mammals. They often have few predators or diseases to keep them under control in their new habitat. The pictured species is the seed setting stage of Stinking Roger, Monoculus monstrous. florabase.dbca.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/29418
CP 261 crosses County Road G38 near Washington, Iowa on a deck truss built by the Milwaukee Road in 1903. Leading the train is the #6644 which wears the livery of Allied aircraft, including Royal Canadian Spitfires, during and after the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
I thought I was seeing a Purple Gallinule on steroids, but the color was slightly off and the red forehead shield was more like the less colorful Common Gallinule. A park volunteer identified it as yet another Florida invasive species, the Gray-headed Swamp Hen (from Asia).
According to the Cornell Lab ("All About Birds"), this large, aggressive rail "escaped" captivity and has expanded its range beyond the south of Florida. In 2006-2008, 3187 swamp hens were culled by various Florida agencies, but it had no apparent effect on the population.
I photographed swamp hens in two locations, this one at Celery Fields, another at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Florida.

I have spent some considerable time lately on a Buckthorn eradication effort on my property. Buckthorn is a tree species originally introduced as an ornamental (some 40 years ago) which is now widely considered an invasive species in the midwest. It is a hardwood with interesting grain and color. I found this natural heart shape in one of the cut stumps - it is about 3 inches in diameter.
Beauty in all things in nature - even an invasive species.
