El pico picapinos tiene un plumaje blanco y negro, y una característica coloración roja en la nuca y la cloaca. Posee un pico poderoso con el que taladra maderas muy duras y muestra una gran adaptación a la hora de alimentarse, pudiendo consumir insectos y una gran variedad de frutos.

Pic Épeiche juvénile (Dendrocopos major), Neuchâtel, Suisse.
Alors que Le Pic Épeiche mâle à la nuque rouge et la femelle la nuque noir, le juvéniles a une large calotte rouge et le bas-ventre dans les tons légèrement rosés plus clair, ou légèrement beige (suivant l’âge) que celui des adultes. Il faudra que la tête soit muée complètement pour voir apparaître la marque rouge à l'occiput qui caractérise le mâle de la femelle.

Land Mullets (Egernia major, Scincidae) are large (60 cm total length), powerful glossy black lizards that are restricted to rain forest and associated habitats in southeastern Australia.
Their black-brown scales assist with rapid body warming & the restricted sunlight of the rainforest requires a number of basking sites to be available.
Land mullets do not hatch their young from eggs, instead they bear live young with 4 to 9 independent offspring per litter.
Largely solitary, they eat woody fungi, mushrooms, berries, seeds, insects such as beetles and grasshoppers as well as decaying fruit material.

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).

Geispolsheim, forêt près de l'Ehn
En garant ma voiture j'ai entendu la forêt qui résonnait de tambourinements de pics . Je me suis dit que c'est peut-être le bon moment pour tenter ma chance pour en photographier avant que les feuilles des arbres s'ouvrent. Il y avait plusieurs pics épeiches tout près mais pour les repérer c'était vraiment pas évident. La chance m'a souri quand j'ai vu deux qui se poursuivaient autour de moi. J'ai attendu qu'ils s'approchent plutôt que leur courir après et c'était la bonne méthode. Deux heures de pur bonheur mais quel effort physique avec le 800mm à bout de bras.
Geispolsheim, forest near the Ehn
While parking my car, I heard the forest echoing with the drumming of peaks. I thought it might be the right time to try my luck and photograph them before the leaves of the trees open. There were several great spotted woodpeckers nearby but to spot them it was really not easy. Luck smiled at me when I saw two chasing each other around me. I waited for them to approach rather than run after them and it was the right method. Two hours of pure happiness but what a physical effort with the 800mm at arm’s length.

Hi Everyone!
From my late Summer 2019 Archives:
This is a Milbert's Tortoiseshell, one of my favourite butterflies and one I rarely see anymore.
Why the caption? I attended a major craft sale this past weekend. One of the vendors was selling framed images of beautiful butterflies which all looked rather realistic. Curious, I asked what medium was used to create the butterflies. "They're all real," he replied.
I was so horrified and shocked that I was rendered speechless aside to utter the fact that I believed that to be morally wrong.Oh, the things I thought of to say after the fact .... I was so upset that I left the craft show, brokenhearted. I couldn't believe my eyes that these days, anyone would have the audacity to capture and preserve butterflies for the sake of trying to make a buck.
So, I am posting this for Wannabe Warmer Wednesday, really more for my broken spirits in remembering this event, plus the fact that the high for today is supposed to reach only -18C.
Thank you, my Flickr friends, for reading my rant and viewing this image. I appreciate your feedback, always!
