ALTHOUGH it is rather nondescript the corn bunting does have a distinctive song. It dangles it legs when flying short distances, and just look at its nails, they are very approachable with extreme care, I love seeing them at the Ancient Highway Sandwich Kent.

Redshank - Tringa Totanus
The common redshank is a widespread breeding bird across temperate Eurasia. It is a migratory species, wintering on coasts around the Mediterranean, on the Atlantic coast of Europe from Ireland and Great Britain southwards, and in South Asia. They are uncommon vagrants outside these areas.
They are wary and noisy birds which will alert everything else with their loud piping call. Like most waders, they feed on small invertebrates. Redshanks will nest in any wetland, from damp meadows to saltmarsh, often at high densities. They lay 3–5 eggs.
The common redshank is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
It is widely distributed and quite plentiful in some regions, and thus not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily but I’m skipping it this time since we have a very unique and interesting theme at Looking close on Friday this week. The theme is : "My Name is…" and it must be a black and white picture. Dont worry the blue color will be back next Friday… unless there is another awesome theme incompatible with the blue color…)
So here we go, my name is : Magdalena aka Magda627.
Now you know almost everything there is to know about me :-).
I hope you will like my picture my friends !! See you later and have an amazing day !!
This is Dana. I worked with her on some volunteer projects. Haven't seen her in a long time so I stuck her in this picture so I can she her again..:)
Still working from home. Kinda lonely but I'm saving a lot of money on gas. Restaurants are really struggling. But, oddly enough, a new one opened up on the east side last weekend. Three of us went there for the grand opening and ordered burgers. They asked how we wanted the meat and we all said medium well. All 3 came out well done..;) We ate them anyway. They had live music. Lots of Rolling Stones songs and Beatles so we didn't really worry about the food. I still don't like paying 14 dollars for a burger. Just seem like a lot to me, but I guess that's the way it is everywhere.
This is actually my friend Wanna Not but this is one of my "starter pics" for this series.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate bells at Macro Monday. Of course, I have a tiny bells collection … Sadly, being a hoarder is perfect for all this Flickr challenges. I have props everywhere… just give me theme and I’m sure somewhere in my house there is a collection perfect for that theme and ready to be photographed.
My today’s picture is a tiny brass bell, about 3,5cm height. It rings almost like a cowbell (a little bit more discrete since it is rather small) but I try to keep that a secret from my sons: I don’t want to become a case of alienation by ringing bells… I already have tinnitus during the night so I dont need to hear more cowbell in my bed !!
And if you are a SNL fan, I’m sure « More cowbell » does ring a bell… For others, you can watch the famous « More cowbell » sketch here : vimeo.com/257364428
Happy Monday my friends !! See you later, I have a meeting and I will think about cowbell for sure !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Midyat is a town in Mardin province of southeastern Turkey. The history of Midyat can be traced back to the Hurrians during the 3rd millennium BC. The town is a melting point of religions and languages.
Everything is the same
Everything is broken
Everything still works
Everything stands still
Everything goes through everything
There's nothing I know for sure anymore
Blue was the sky under wich I slept
Green was the grass I walked on
There could be clouds full of worries
In the end they floated by
I'm looking for the common thread
Something that makes it all logical
I want to see, the way I saw, when I still had you
Because now, everything is gray
'Cause I can see the sun
But I don't feel the heat
The world is still spinning for me
But she's lost her colors

Ypache (Apache) is fed up with the run of wintry weather we’ve been having...Six inches of snow, lying for a week, torrential rain for a few days, now, Storm Erik (!) with gale force winds and more torrential rain, is raging around the house and hills.
Consequently, ‘Not-going-out’ has become the collective cat cry, recently. When they do venture out, it’s a very brief sortie to one of the outbuildings or to sit in the rafters of one of the garages. The house has become an indoor playground/feline gym/wrestling ring/chase park/hotel.
Here, she is just turning over on her bean bag, again, to lie down and get another comfortable position...
Come on, SPRING!

Kuznetsky Most is one of the most beautiful pedestrian streets in the historical center of Moscow.
The street got its modern - and at the same time historical - name thanks to the Kuznetsky Bridge across the Neglinnaya River. Today, Kuznetsky Most Street attracts citizens with its high-quality landscaping, an abundance of architectural monuments and an unusual relief: due to the significant difference in heights between Petrovka and Rozhdestvenka, the city landscape looks especially picturesque.
Kuznetskaya Sloboda on the high bank of the Neglinnaya River - Neglinnaya Upper - appeared in the 12th century, but its heyday came only at the end of the 15th, when the Cannon Yard was built in the vicinity, and the Moscow prince Ivan III ordered to settle in it blacksmiths and grooms who served new production. At the turn of the 15th-16th centuries, Novgorod and Pskov were annexed to the Moscow principality, and craftsmen of various professions from these cities were moved to the Neglinny Upper.
In 1737, the street burned out during the Trinity fire, but rather quickly new buildings were built on it, in which foreign shops began to be located. Gradually, the street turned into the abode of foreign trade: the French showed particular zeal, opening fashion and haberdashery shops here, thanks to which Kuznetsky Most became the main shopping street in Moscow. During World War II and the fire of 1812, it practically did not suffer from the fire, since the French guard took over the protection of the business of compatriots. After the war, trade flourished again, and many fashionable shops were opened on it (almost all of them were foreign, most of them were French). The abundance of foreign shops made Kuznetsky Most the most fashionable and aristocratic street in Moscow, which it remained until the 1917 Revolution.
During the Soviet era, the street lost part of the historical buildings, many buildings were rebuilt, and the street gradually took on a modern look.
After the reconstruction carried out in 2012, the Kuznetsky Most section from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Rozhdestvenka became pedestrian.
Today Kuznetsky Most Street is a well-maintained pedestrian zone, where city holidays and festivals are often held.
Despite the losses of the Soviet years, a large number of architectural monuments have been preserved on it: tenement houses, partially preserved city estates and passages. Among them are famous Moscow sights: the building of the Moscow International Trade Bank, Khomyakov's trading house and others.

Small upright duck. Male is gray with a brown head, while the female is more heavily marked with pale marks on face. Nests in tree-hollows and can be quite noisy when perched up in the branches. Often abundant in urban parklands and grassy areas. (eBird)

Here are the lyrics of a song of Nana Mouskouri, a famous international singer, on the melody of "the choir of the slaves", Nabucco, Verdi. (The English version is a little different from the French one...) For Ukraine and the world... with my "Peace Rose".
Voici les paroles d'une chanson de Nana Mouskouri, une célèbre chanteuse internationale, sur l'air du "Choeur des esclaves", Nabucco, Verdi. (La verson anglaise est un peu différente de la version française...) Pour l'Ukraine et le monde... Avec ma rose "Madame Meilland".
"Je chante avec toi Liberté"
Quand tu chantes je chante avec toi Liberté
Quand tu pleures je pleure aussi ta peine
Quand tu trembles je prie pour toi Liberté
Dans les joies ou les larmes je t'aime
Souviens-toi des jours de ta misère
Mon pays tes bateaux étaient tes galères
Quand tu chantes je chante avec toi Liberté
Et quand tu es absente j'espère
Qui es-tu ? Religion ou bien réalité
Une idée de révolutionnaire
Moi je crois que tu es la seule vérité
La noblesse de notre Humanité
Je comprends qu'on meure pour te défendre
Que l'on passe sa vie à t'attendre
Quand tu chantes je chante avec toi Liberté
Dans la joie ou les larmes je t'aime
Les chansons de l'Espoir ont ton nom et ta voix
Le chemin de l'Histoire nous conduira vers toi
Liberté, Liberté
"Song for Liberty"
When you sing I'm singing with you Liberty
When you cry I cry with you in sorrow
When you suffer I'm praying for you Liberty
For your struggles will bring us a new tomorrow
Days of sad darkness and fear must one day crumble
For the forces of your kindness and love make them tremble
When you sing I'm singing with you Liberty
In the void of your absence I keep searching for you
Who are you dream illusion or just reality
Faith ideal desire revolution
I believe you're the symbol of our Humanity
Lighting up the world for Eternity
I can see when men die to defend you
Try to guard to protect and attend you
When you sing I'm singing with you Liberty
With your tears or your joys I love you
Let us sing and rejoice make our own History
Songs of Hope with one voice guide us to Victory
Liberty, Liberty
Our most distinguished scientists reluctantly admit
That mankind is nothing but some billion creatures

This is Bryce Canyon National Park. It is located in southwestern Utah, United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called "hoodoos" formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The hoodoo formation pictured herein is named Thor's Hammer. It is one of the most photographed formations in the Park. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
