Great Tit (Parus major)
--
This bonny bird was getting annoyed and had several visits determined to get this nut free from this wee piece of driftwood.
They are the largest UK tit, green and yellow with a striking glossy black head with white cheeks and a distinctive two-syllable song.
A passerine bird in the tit family Paridae.
Felicidades Isabel , gracias por compartir tan buenos momentos a diario con nosotros, ojala que sigamos así por muuucho tiempo, ya formamos una familia en la que tu eres una parte fundamental
Te deseo todo lo mejor , que tengas un feliz día guapísima que estas que te sales, , besos a millones.....
Quiscalus major. This a male Boat-tailed Grackle. The range of this species is limited to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the US from Long Island south to Florida and then west to Texas. It is only found in narrow strip adjacent to the coast except in Florida where it also occurs inland. The very pale iris of this birds is a feature of the Atlantic populations south to northern Florida. Those in the rest of Florida and the Gulf coast have a darker iris. In Cape May we only saw them right on the coast adjacent to saltmarshes. I photographed this one from the upper viewing area at Ocean City rookery. They are omnivorous and will take the eggs of herons and egrets, so this bird may be on the lookout for an unguarded nest.
Questa è la cassetta nido che ho piazzato ancora nel mese di dicembre in un alberello del mio giardino,.come vedete la famiglia si è allargata...
This is the nest box that I placed again in December in a tree in my garden. See how the family has grown ...

A diminutive female Major leads a contingent of officers & men of both the Royal Army Medical Corps and the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps during Liverpool's 2017 Remembrance Sunday service and parade.
Don't be deceived by her small stature ; she's a lady who knows exactly what she's doing and is an expert (and indispensable) professional.
Her rank of Major means that she is a surgeon.
Where would the British Army be, without this lady's like - and the likes of her dedicated comrades of course?
I don't actually remember the circumstances of this shot - this is a pity because we were obviously communicating. Another pic taken at Gumholes Ck waterhole on Bowra Station, late one hot afternoon.

It's ground control…. We will miss you….
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in my tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear And I'm floating around my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Pico picapinos: Pico picapinos Dendrocopos major
Longitud / Envergadura: 23-26 cm / 38-44 cm
Identificación: Pícido que comparte la coloración típica de los picos. El dorso es blanco y negro con un característico patrón, las partes inferiores son blancas con la zona anal rojiza; poseen unas listas negras a ambos lados de la cara y el cuello, que enlazan con el pecho, el pico, los hombros y la nuca. La diferencia entre sexos se ve en el color de la nuca: en los machos es roja y en las hembras negro.
Canto: Emite un sonido suerte, "tchik tchik", que repite a determinados intervalos de tiempo.
Alimentación: Su dieta se basa en larvas de insectos que busca excavando con el pico en el interior de la madera o bajo de la corteza; en invierno incluye en su dieta frutos secos, bellotas, o avellanas que abre metiéndolos en la corteza de un árbol y taladrando la cáscara. Le gusta la savia de los pinos, rica en minerales y azúcares, que obtiene haciendo una pequeña herida en el tronco para succionarla.
Reproducción: En mayo comienza la construcción del nido, un túnel profundo hecho en la madera de algún árbol. Tanto la incubación como la alimentación de los pollos es trabajo de ambos padres.
HÁBITAT
Presenta una gran adaptabilidad por su capacidad de trabajar casi cualquier madera. Ocupa todo tipo de formaciones forestales con cierta madurez, cerradas o abiertas, prefiriendo los bosques densos de coníferas. Suele criar desde el nivel del mar hasta por encima de los 2.000 metros del altitud en Pirineos.
DISTRIBUCIÓN
En España: Se distribuye por toda la Península, aunque es más abundante en la mitad norte peninsular.
En Castilla y León: Se distribuye por toda la comunidad.
Desplazamientos y migraciones: Sólo las poblaciones más norteñas realizan desplazamientos cortos cuando las condiciones son desfavorables.
POBLACIONES
En España: Se estima una pobalción de 143.000-190.000 parejas reproductoras.
ESTADO DE CONSERVACIÓN:
En el Catálogo Nacional de Especies Amenazadas figura con la categoría "De Interés Especial".
AMENAZAS
Los incendios, la tala de bosques y la eliminación del arbolado muerto ha provocado el declive de esta especie.
Major Sylvain-Eugene Raynal commanded Fort Vaux at Verdun from May 1916 until its capture by the Germans. The fort had its artillery removed before the Verdun Offensive so Raynal only had a small garrison to defend the fort. The French stubbornly resisted in the barricaded subterranean corridors of the fort. There was heroic fighting on both sides in cramped conditions with poor air and no ventilation. The French surrendered only after they had exhausted their water, food and ammunition. The Germans honored Raynal and the survivors with many Germans wanting a photograph with the French commander who they admired.
As some might have guessed I'm loving the glow in the dark heads from the Iron Man sets.
As I just caught the tail end of a David Bowie Doc. the other day, and there was the Youtube vid by Chris Hadfield, I couldn't get Ground Control out of my head.
So this is my little homage.
I changed the Hue on the face to make it look more minifigure yellow, but the lighting on the head was due to me holding a cheap little blacklight torch directly above the figure so the bottom half doesn't glow as bright as the top.

44/365, My first shot taken with my new-to-me Polaroid SX70 OneStep, courtesy of The Impossible Project! I'm so excited that it turned out beautifully and that Major was so obliging to model so well too! I can't way enough about how great it feels to be so well-cared for and looked after by Impossible. I didn't even need to send them my address...they knew who I was and sent me the best care package and Valentine's Day gift ever! How lucky am I?!!!

My friend's plane. This has to be one of the nicest SNJs flying today. Every place you look it is fantastic.
