"Die Kohlmeise (Parus major) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Meisen (Paridae). Sie ist die größte und am weitesten verbreitete Meisenart in Europa. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet erstreckt sich jedoch bis in den Nahen Osten und durch die gemäßigte Zone Asiens bis nach Fernost.

 

Der ursprüngliche Lebensraum der Kohlmeise sind Laub- und Mischwälder mit alten Bäumen; aufgrund ihrer Anpassungsfähigkeit kommt sie jedoch in fast allen Lebensräumen vor, in denen sie Höhlen zum Nisten findet. Sie zählt meist zu den häufigsten Vogelarten. Die Nahrung ist sehr vielfältig, jedoch werden hauptsächlich Insekten und deren Larven sowie pflanzliche Nahrung wie beispielsweise Samen oder Nussfrüchte gefressen. Nester werden in Baumhöhlen, Nistkästen oder anderen Hohlräumen gebaut und meist zwischen sechs und zwölf Eier hineingelegt. Die meisten Kohlmeisen bleiben im Winter in ihren Brutgebieten, wo sie teilweise in kleinen Trupps umherstreifen und sich auch mit anderen Meisen vergesellschaften. Vögel nördlicherer Regionen wandern zum Teil auch in südlichere Gegenden ab. "

About blackbird-sized and striking black-and-white. It has a very distinctive bouncing flight and spends most of its time clinging to tree trunks and branches, often trying to hide on the side away from the observer. Its presence is often announced by its loud call or by its distinctive spring 'drumming' display. The male has a distinctive red patch on the back of the head and young birds have a red crown. What they eat: Insects, seeds and nuts (Courtesy RSPB).

A major urban regeneration operation that Palermo has not seen for decades and which gives the city its port back, making it possible for those who are not there to travel to experience it.

 

The "Palermo Marina Yachting" has been inaugurated, the new district which extends between the ancient port of Cala and the current commercial port and which sees the light after three years of works for a total of 30 million euros of investments.

 

Una grande operazione di rigenerazione urbana che Palermo non vedeva da decenni e che ridà alla città il suo porto facendolo vivere anche a chi non è lì per viaggiare.

 

Inaugurato il "Palermo Marina Yachting", il nuovo quartiere che si estende fra l’antico porto della Cala e l’attuale porto commerciale e che vede la luce dopo tre anni di lavori per un totale di 30 milioni di euro di investimenti.

 

Great tit. Note the particular reddish color of the flight feathers remiges!!!

The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is one of the commonest European woodpeckers, especially in Central Europe. It lives in deciduous and coniferous woods as well as parks and gardens with old trees, where it excavates nest holes. Its black, white and red plumage and rapid drumming on trunks for territory and mate attraction are very characteristic. In Central Europe it is a year round resident that feeds mainly on wood living insects and their larvae, but in winter also on seeds, nuts, berries and food from garden feeders, and a pair usually raises four to seven chicks in a tree cavity that fledge after about three weeks.

Parus major - Great Tit

Having a major fartnarkle this afternoon with this gorgeous lighthouse birdfeeder that my girls bought me for my birthday. Absolutely thrilled to bits with it and thought it deserved a bit of extreme photoshop treatment!

 

I know it's not been done brilliantly but it was fun!

Blöd wär nur, wenn ich jetzt die Augen schlösse. Und dann öffne und plötzlich wärst Du gar nicht da.

Just a moment. And I keep my eyes open ;-)

I was inspired by the song by Dota / All you, all major

Nur ein Augenblick. Und ich lasse die Augen auf ;-)

Inspiriert hat mich der Song von Dota / Alles Du, alles Dur

Zähneklappern, Zähneknirschen, und dazu die barschen, wirschen

Mienen, Blicke, Kommentare. Das muss das harte, wahre Leben sein,

Jedem sein Los, seine Last, seinen Trost, ich wär fast

Verzweifelt ob der Müh der langen Straßen. Was soll ich hier?

Seh keine weiten Wege, seh nur Fluchtpunkte auf dem Weg zu Dir.

–– Und dann in Deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal,

Alles Du, alles Dur, alles nur, ein Kitzellachen, fühl mich wohl,

Das sind Momente, wie Geschenke, wie Getränke mit Limettensaft und Alkohol.

Und dann in Deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal, unbezahlbare Stunden, mal die bunten Bilder an deine Wand, Tage wie Sekunden und Du mein Prinz und Findelkind im Wunderland.

–– Und Patati und Patata, soviel Palaver und ich harder und ich harre und ich starre.

Abracadabra, bin ich da! In deinen vier Wänden ein bergendes Zelt,

Mit dem Fenster zum Himmel, und der Türe zur Welt.

–– Und dann in Deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal,

Bin ich frei, bin ich Kind und wir sind unterwegs,

Die Welt steht offen zu entdecken,

Also könn wir uns genausogut noch heute hier verstecken.

Und dann in deinem Arm, alles gut, alles andre egal,

Alles Du, alles Dur, blöd wär nur, wenn ich jetzt die Augen schlösse und dann öffne und plötzlich wärst Du gar nicht da.

Chattering teeth, gnashing of teeth, and in addition the harsh, twisting

Expressions, looks, comments. That must be the hard, real life

Everyone his lot, his burden, his consolation, I was almost

Desperate at the effort of the long streets. What am I supposed to do here?

Don't see long ways, just see vanishing points on the way to you.

–– And then in your arm, all well, nothing else,

All you, all major, all just a tickling laugh, feel good,

These are moments like gifts, like drinks with lime juice and alcohol.

And then in your arm, all good, everything else doesn't matter, priceless hours, times the colorful pictures on your wall, days like seconds and you my prince and foundling in Wonderland.

–– And Patati and Patata, so much palaver and I harder and I wait and I stare.

Abracadabra, I'm there! A sheltering tent in your four walls,

With the window to the sky and the door to the world.

–– And then in your arm, all well, nothing else,

I'm free, I'm a child and we're on the go,

The world is open to discover

So we might as well be hiding here today.

And then in your arm, all well, nothing else,

All you, all major, would only be stupid if I now close my eyes and then open and suddenly you would not be there.

HWW!

I like the doodad on the head of this Gambel's Quail. Reminds me of a drum major in a parade.

The great tit (Parus major) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common species throughout Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and east across the Palearctic to the Amur River, south to parts of North Africa where it is generally resident in any sort of woodland; most great tits do not migrate except in extremely harsh winters. Until 2005 this species was lumped with numerous other subspecies. DNA studies have shown these other subspecies to be distinctive from the great tit and these have now been separated as two distinct species, the cinereous tit of southern Asia, and the Japanese tit of East Asia. The great tit remains the most widespread species in the genus Parus.
