The migration to Australia’s northern climes has reversed with the Bureau of Statistics’ provisional estimates showing that Victoria’s population grew by 117 900 or 2.2 per cent (March 2010).
Professor Richard Reed explores the impact of population growth on property trends for 2012 and beyond.
Number 4 in the series. I gave this image a more descriptive title because for me it represented the different weather challenges that cranes face on the long migration. This image of the cranes was created with three background layers. If you are a person who doesn't enjoy post-processing, maybe this complexity isn't for you. I found that if you have several texture backgrounds one approach is to open them all simultaneously. Then the different textures can be easily manipulated to create the mix which appeals to you.

Title: flight
Theme: wildlife migration
Elements: There is color used, the warm color of the bird contrasts with the cool color of the water. There is value of the water in the background and also on the birds feathers. There is also texture on the birds feathers. There is space from the bird and the shallow depth of the buildings in the background.
Principles: There is emphasis on the bird and it is the focal point. There is movement from the bird's wings across the screen
Camera Setting/Edit Info: The distinct camera setting is the slower shutter speed for the fast moving bird wings. I adjusted the colors to make them warmer and cooler in the right areas.
Why? I choose this picture because the bird would not move but it was a great wait for this picture.

Eurasian hoopoe
The Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) is the most widespread species of the genus Upupa, native to Europe, Asia and the northern half of Africa.
Nine subspecies of Eurasian hoopoe are recognised by Kristin (in the 2001 Handbook of the Birds of the World). They vary mostly in size and the depth of colour in the plumage. One further subspecies is suggested- U. e. orientalis in north western India.
The Eurasian hoopoe is a medium-sized bird, 25–32 cm (9.8–12.6 in) long, with a 44–48 cm (17–19 in) wingspan. It weighs 46–89 g (1.6–3.1 oz). The species is highly distinctive, with a long, thin tapering bill that is black with a fawn base. The strengthened musculature of the head allows the bill to be opened when probing inside the soil. The hoopoe has broad and rounded wings capable of strong flight; these are larger in the northern migratory subspecies. The hoopoe has a characteristic undulating flight, which is like that of a giant butterfly, caused by the wings half closing at the end of each beat or short sequence of beats. Adults may begin their moult after the breeding season and continue after they have migrated for the winter.
The call is typically a trisyllabic oop-oop-oop, which may give rise to its English and scientific names, although two and four syllables are also common. An alternative explanation of the English and scientific names is that they are derived from the French name for the bird, huppée, which means crested. In the Himalayas, the calls can be confused with that of the Himalayan cuckoo (Cuculus saturatus), although the cuckoo typically produces four notes. Other calls include rasping croaks, when alarmed, and hisses. Females produce a wheezy note during courtship feeding by the male. Both sexes, when disturbed, call a rough charrrrrr, strongly reminiscent of the warning cry of the Eurasian jay. The food begging call of the nestlings is similar to that of a common swift: tiiii.
The Eurasian hoopoe is widespread in Europe, Asia, and North Africa and northern Sub-Saharan Africa. Most European and north Asian birds migrate to the tropics in winter. In contrast, the African populations are sedentary all year. The species has been a vagrant in Alaska; U. e. saturata was recorded there in 1975 in the Yukon Delta. Hoopoes have been known to breed north of their European range, and in southern England during warm, dry summers that provide plenty of grasshoppers and similar insects, although as of the early 1980s northern European populations were reported to be in the decline, possibly due to changes in climate.
The hoopoe has two basic requirements of its habitat: bare or lightly vegetated ground on which to forage and vertical surfaces with cavities (such as trees, cliffs or even walls, nestboxes, haystacks, and abandoned burrows) in which to nest. These requirements can be provided in a wide range of ecosystems, and as a consequence the hoopoe inhabits a wide range of habitats such as heathland, wooded steppes, savannas and grasslands, as well as forest glades.
Hunting is of concern in southern Europe and Asia.
Hoopoes make seasonal movements in response to rain in some regions such as in Ceylon and in the Western Ghats. Birds have been seen at high altitudes during migration across the Himalayas. One was recorded at about 6,400 m (21,000 ft) by the first Mount Everest expedition.
In what was long thought to be a defensive posture, hoopoes sunbathe by spreading out their wings and tail low against the ground and tilting their head up; they often fold their wings and preen halfway through. They also enjoy taking dust and sand baths.

We're very lucky to live right under the migration route for the European Cranes. So each october we get treated to the spectacle of these large birds flying over in their thousands. It's a pity I can't add the sound to these pictures!

Im Interkulturellen Haus fand am 13. Mai 2014 das erste Treffen meiner Frühstücksreihe "Auf ein Wort ..." . Zum Thema Migration & Vielfalt kamen Akteurinnen und Akteure des Bezirks zusammen, um sich in gemütlicher Atmosphäre auszutauschen und wichtige Anliegen an die Politik zur Sprache zu bringen. Hinter all diese Vereinen und Verbänden stehen Menschen, die mit viel Herzblut und Engagement sehr wertvolle und beispielgebende Arbeit im Bezirk leisten. Ihnen allen sei an dieser Stelle nochmals herzlich gedankt!
