Rainbow lorikeets are true parrots, within the Psittacoidea superfamily in the order Psittaciformes. The rainbow lorikeet or lorikeet (common name) is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. They are true parrots of medium-size, with the length ranging from 25 to 30 cm, including the tail. The weight varies from 75 to 157 g. The plumage of the nominate race, as with all subspecies, is very bright. The head is deep blue with a greenish-yellow nuchal collar, and the rest of the upper parts (wings, back and tail) are green. The chest is orange/yellow. The belly is deep blue, and the thighs and rump are green. In flight a yellow wing-bar contrasts clearly with the red underwing coverts. 59474
Diese Seltenheit sah ich gestern in Bremen.
Die beste Beschreibung habe ich beim British Trust for Ornithology gefunden.
I saw this rarity yesterday in Bremen, Germany.
The best description I found at the British Trust for Ornithology
Ring Ouzel is a breeding bird of rocky slopes and high moorland. Its nominate race breeds in Ireland and Britain and along the mountain spine of Scandinavia from southern Norway to the Kola Peninsula in northwest Russia. In Britain it has a patchy and diminishing range from Dartmoor to northwest Scotland. These birds winter mainly in southern Spain and the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. Migrating Ring Ouzels, many of them from Scandinavia, are frequently seen in Britain well into November, sometimes in company with Redwings and Fieldfares, but are then mostly absent until the first breeders return in late March. Spring passage is noted mainly in April and early May.
Another race, alpestris, breeds along Europe's main watersheds from northern Spain through the Alps to the Appennines, Balkans and Carpathians, and a third race, amicorum, in Turkey, the Caucasus and western Kazakhstan.

Well... some poor misguided person nominated me for the Bloggies. So, I talk about that on the blog, PLUS, newness, PLUS... other things. You're going to have to read it to find out. readmeri.wordpress.com/2020/10/09/nom-nom-nominated/
A view looking east into downtown Austin from the rusted rails of the West 3rd St. Railroad Trestle over Shoal Creek. Constructed in 1925 by the International-Great Northern Railroad as a replacement to an earlier 1876 bridge, the wooden structure is one of the last physical reminders of the rail lines that fueled Austin's rapid development as a regional hub starting in the 1870s. The trestle was last used in the 1990s, and is currently nominated for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
With a population of just over one million residents, Austin is the 10th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, also is the fastest growing large metropolitan area in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.

The Heydar Aliyev Center is a building complex in Baku, Azerbaijan designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid and noted for its distinctive architecture and flowing, curved style . The center is named for Heydar Aliyev, the leader of Soviet-era Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and president of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003.
The Center houses a conference hall (auditorium), a gallery hall and a museum.
The official opening was in 2012.
An internationally recognized architectural work, the building of the Heydar Aliyev Center has become a signature landmark of modern Baku due to its innovative and cutting-edge design. The building was nominated for awards in 2013 at both the World Architecture Festival and the biennial Inside Festival.
In 2014, Centre won the Design Museum’s Design of the Year Award 2014 despite concerns about the site's human rights record. This makes Zaha Hadid the first woman to win the top prize in that competition.
Zaha Hadid died in March 2016.

The adult male of the nominate subspecies, P. p. pica, is 44–46 cm (17–18 in) in length, of which more than half is the tail. The wingspan is 52–62 cm (20–24 in). The head, neck and breast are glossy black with a metallic green and violet sheen; the belly and scapulars (shoulder feathers) are pure white; the wings are black glossed with green or purple, and the primaries have white inner webs, conspicuous when the wing is open. The graduated tail is black, glossed with green and reddish purple. The legs and bill are black; the iris is dark brown. The plumage of the sexes is similar but females are slightly smaller. The tail feathers of both sexes are quite long, about 12–28 cm long. Males of the nominate subspecies weigh 210–272 g (7.4–9.6 oz) while females weigh 182–214 g (6.4–7.5 oz). The young resemble the adults, but are at first without much of the gloss on the sooty plumage. The young have the malar region pink, and somewhat clear eyes. The tail is much shorter than the adults.
The subspecies differ in their size, the amount of white on their plumage and the colour of the gloss on their black feathers. The Asian subspecies P. p. bactriana has more extensive white on the primaries and a prominent white rump.
Adults undergo an annual complete moult after breeding. Moult begins in June or July and ends in September or October. The primary flight feathers are replaced over a period of three months. Juvenile birds undergo a partial moult beginning about one month later than the adult birds in which their body feathers are replaced but not those of the wings or the tail.
Eurasian magpies have a well-known call. It is a choking chatter "chac-chac" or a repetitive "chac-chac-chac-chac". The young also emit the previous call, although they also emit an acute call similar to a "Uik Uik", which may resemble the barking of a small dog. Both adults and young can emit a kind of hiss barely noticeable from afar.

The brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is a North American bird of the pelican family, Pelecanidae. It is one of three pelican species found in the Americas and one of only two that feed by diving in water. It is found on the Atlantic Coast from Nova Scotia to the mouth of the Amazon River, and along the Pacific Coast from British Columbia to northern Chile, including the Galapagos Islands. The nominate subspecies in its breeding plumage has a white head with a yellowish wash on the crown. The nape and neck are dark maroon–brown. The upper sides of the neck have white lines along the base of the gular pouch, and the lower fore neck has a pale yellowish patch. The male and female are similar, but the female is slightly smaller. The nonbreeding adult has a white head and neck. The pink skin around the eyes becomes dull and gray in the nonbreeding season. It lacks any red hue, and the pouch is strongly olivaceous ochre-tinged and the legs are olivaceous gray to blackish-gray.
I was out birdwatching at a local reservoir this morning and this stunning male Yellow Wagtail dropped in. They are largely a bird of the lowlands nowadays so birds in my part of the Pennines are not at all common, though I usually see one or two on passage each year. I took a few photos of him in the sunshine but the colours seemed to bleach so I prefer this one where he was perched in the shadow of the dam wall.
The subspecies of Yellow Wagtail that breeds in Britain is flavissima, which means very yellow, as opposed to the nominate Continental breeding subspecies flava, which just means yellow. The two are pretty similar from the neck down but our British flavissima is also yellow on the throat, cheeks and eyebrow with a complementary green crown and eyestripe. The British Yellow Wagtail population has been in steep decline particularly since the 1980s. Between 1967 and 2013 the breeding population dropped by nearly 75% with the losses mainly from the margins of its distribution. It is now largely found in central and eastern England but has all-but disappeared from the uplands where it used to nest in may-meadows. Now it nests in damp places, low-lying farmland and river valleys. It increasingly nests in arable crops (eg rape, root crops and peas) but feeds mainly in pasture or along drainage ditches.

Lagopus muta muta (nominate, french name : Lagopède alpin) - Around Mont de Grange, Upper-Savoy, France
This species being tight to cold climates, it is in the high mountains that it lives all year round in France, over 2000 masl, and it is where I came to find him, around the magnificent Mont de Grange, maybe the wildest mountain around my home.
I had met this bird in this place two years ago, when I was not using a camera, so I came back with a good hope that they might be resident and still here, and thus take a picture.
Indeed two of them were there, feeding on a slope mixing grass and rocks lanslides, its prefered habitat, that compose the background of the picture. They first gave clue of their presence by the so peculiar song, described as "that of a stick being pulled rapidly across the slats of a picket fence", a sort of strange rattle. Then one showed up near the trail, and stay standing a long time, for the best sight I could expect.
This species has the particularity of moulting three times a year, so that it is perfectly camouflaged all year round according to the seasons and the changing colors in its environment. Also, the red comb above the eye is more or less swollen by a blood supply controlled by the bird. During my observation, the size of the eyebrow varied greatly, and was sometimes much more visible than when I took the photo.
The male is completly white during winter when snow covers everything, only the comb remains red, and here it is the breeding plumage. Another adaptation to its life in the snow is found in its tarsi, which are covered with feathers.
It is a fantastic bird, and we enjoy to be close to some individuals during a hike in the most preserved mountains.

RUNSWICK BAY.
We drove through the Cleveland Hills, North-Yorkshire, the weather getting more and more ominous as we got closer to the Heritage Coast, flat light, no detail in the sky, ah well it was going to be 'an outing' of discovery and mental photography...
That's how we came to this beautiful little village, the road ends just before this, I was so enthralled by what I saw, grabbed my stuff, jumped out of the car, ran towards the sea, this was my first shot.
Thank you for all your kindness and as always, thanks for your visits and comments today, M, (*_*)

Taken awhile back!
We'd left Whitby because of the incoming sea mist.
The light gone, not dressed for it on this otherwise lovely summer's day for the cold surprise that suddenly enveloped us, we decided to go inland to capture the sunset.
The road took us passed Robin Hood's Bay.
Now, on that part of the beautiful North-Yorkshire Heritage Coast, you drive along the top of the cliffs, you are high up, it was sunny again, we gave into the temptation and turned in, with Nature, you never know, maybe it was just around Whitby...
You have to park your car above the village and walk down.
Before we arrived there we wanted to let our dog out, I followed the white plume of his tail as he wandered off into a field full of wildflowers, nettles and brambles, to my amazement this was the scene that unfolded in front of my feasting eyes, the mist was already grabbing the church.
I ran for my camera, back just in time for this.
Underneath that thick blanket are the bay and the sea.
By the time Paul got his gear out, that day he had decided on a Hasselblad-day + tripod... everything was covered in mist, yeah, sigh, when you miss it, you miss it!
Hope your day is clear, thanx for viewing, Magda, (*_*)

I am a sensitive realists who through photography escapes from reality, by capturing real moments in time.
That is how I see the world.
The cathedral like trees, dappled light, and again, the silence only broken by a bumblebee, a bird, a distant moo, the shutter of the camera.
This is ZEN.

Fragment of us
Fragment of Us is a short documentary set inside a virtual world, observing a 21-day period of connection between two people through their avatars. The film considers how experiences that might take a lifetime in physical life can unfold repeatedly and rapidly online, yet carry the same emotional weight. By documenting this compressed cycle, it questions why intimacy, attachment, and loss remain just as real when lived digitally, even as the environment allows them to begin again
The adult male of the nominate subspecies, S. e. europaea is 14 cm (5.5 in) long with a 22.5–27 cm (8.9–10.6 in) wingspan. It weighs 17–28 g (0.6–1 oz). It has blue-grey upperparts, a black eye-stripe and whitish throat and underparts. The flanks and lower belly are orange-red, mottled with white on the undertail. The stout bill is dark grey with a paler area on the base of the lower mandible, the iris is dark brown and the legs and feet are pale brown or greyish. Most other members of the S. e. europaea group differ only in detail from the nominate form, often with respect to the hue of the underparts, but S. e. arctica is quite distinctive. It is large, pale, has a white forehead and a reduced eye-stripe, and it has more white in the tail and wings than any other subspecies. Nuthatches move on trees with short leaps, and do not use their tails for support. In flight, they have a characteristic appearance, with a pointed head, round wings and a short, square tail. Their flight is fast, with wings closed between beats, and is usually of short duration.
S. e. caesia, the most widespread of the western subspecies, has orange-buff underparts except for a white throat and cheeks. The other western forms mainly differ in the exact shade of the underparts, although some southeastern forms also show a white forehead and supercilium. S. e. sinensis and S. e. formosana, of China and Taiwan respectively, have buff underparts like the western races, but have buff, instead of white, throats.
The female is similar in appearance to the male, but may be identified by her slightly paler upperparts, a browner eyestripe and a more washed-out tone to the flanks and lower belly. In the eastern form, S. e. asiatica, some males have buff underparts like the female, and birds with this appearance are difficult to sex in the field. Young birds resemble the female, although their plumage is duller and they have paler legs. Individuals can be reliably sexed as female from about 12 days old by their paler and buffer flanks, or, in some white-breasted subspecies, by the creamier hue of their underparts.
Adults have a complete moult after breeding which takes about 80 days, starting from late May onwards and finishing by late September. The moult period for Siberian birds is more compressed, running from June to mid-September. Fledged juveniles moult some of their wing coverts when they are about eight weeks old.
In much of its range, Eurasian is the only nuthatch present. In southeast Europe and southwest Asia, the western and eastern rock nuthatches are larger and paler than the Eurasian species. They also lack white spots in the tail and are usually found in a different, stony habitat, and Krüper's nuthatch is small and has a black cap and reddish breast patch. In southwest China, the chestnut-vented nuthatch is very similar to the European bird, but is darker above, has less white on the face and has greyer underparts.

The nominate White Wagtail - Motacilla alba alba – is found over most of Europe. The Pied Wagtail is the subspecies that occurs, primarily, in the UK and Ireland - Motacilla alba yarrellii.
This male White Wagtail in summer breeding plumage was seen on a fence post in the stunning Tyrol mountains near Seefeld in Austria.
This Saturday I was nominated to lead group birding as the scheduled leader's son was getting married. This was my first time to lead the group. It isn't really my thing. The day was quite chilly and it was threatening to snow. We got back to the parking lot just in time!
It had been a long time since I had seen a Barrow's Goldeneye so was very excited to see five of them!
Thanks for your visits!
