"outer barcelona" Ć©s un petit projecte imprescindible. barcelona, estiu, ordes de turistes pujant i baixant dels autobusos turĆstics de la ciutat; ruta blava o ruta vermella?
mĆ©s enllĆ d'aquests visitants, de la barcelona que nomĆ©s Ć©s veuen i viuen, hi ha la barcelona de veritat, la dels barris que fan de barcelona la ciutat que Ć©s.
uns barris que cal visitar, per conĆØixer l'entorn, la seva gent, les seves particularitats, la seva fesomia, i la seva relaciĆ³ amb la ciutat de la que formen part.
aquĆ deixo un de tants barris que tĆ© barcelona, que fan de la ciutat lo que Ć©s, encara que ella hi visqui d'esquena.

"outer Barcelona" is a small essential project. Barcelona city, summer, orders of tourists getting up and down of tourist buses. Blue line, or red one?
beyond these visitors, beyond the Barcelona only they view, there is a real Barcelona made of neighborhoods.
neighborhoods that must be visited to learn about the sorroundings, its people, its peculiarities, its appearance and its relationship with the city that are part of.
I leave here one of many districts of barcelona, that make barcelona the city it is, although barcelona lives back of its neighborhoods.

Outer Mission, San Francisco, CA, 2013
A fondness for this picture. A memory of a disappearing Mission? or Outer-Mission future past?
taller new buildings are being constructed outside the aged inner urban area mainly on reclaimed land or demolished old buildings.

The New Zealand bellbird (Anthornis melanura), also known by its MÄori names korimako and makomako, is a passerine bird endemic to New Zealand. The bellbird forms a significant component of the famed New Zealand dawn chorus of bird song that was much noted by early European settlers. The explorer Captain Cook wrote of its song "it seemed to be like small bells most exquisitely tuned". Its bell-like song is sometimes confused with that of the tui.
DESCRIPTION
Bellbirds are green with a short, curved bill, slightly forked tail, and noisy whirring, fast and direct flight. Adult males are olive green, slightly paler on the underparts, with a dark purplish sheen on their head and blackish outer wing and tail. Females are a duller olive brown with a blue sheen on the head and yellowish-white curving from the base of the bill to below the eye. Adults of both sexes have a notably red eye. They are about 17ā20 cm from the tip of their beak to the end of their tail. Juveniles are similar to females, but with a light yellow cheek stripe, brown eyes and lacking the bluish gloss on the head.
VOICE
Song varies regionally but is ringing notes without grunts or wheezes. Alarm call a rapidly repeated harsh āyengā. The famous bell notes noted by Sir Joseph Banks in Queen Charlotte Sound on James Cook first voyage to NZ are only heard when many birds are present at once, mostly at dawn and dusk in places of high bellbird density with few other bird species.
CLASSIFICATION
There are four sub-species: NZ bellbird (A. melanura melanura/dumerii), Poor Knights bellbird (A. melanura oneho), Three Kings bellbird (A. melanura obscura), and the Chatham bellbird (A. Melanocephala) that became extinct in the early 20th century.
DISTRIBUTION
The bellbird is found throughout both the main islands of New Zealand apart from the north of the North Island. Its population and distribution had been seriously affected by the introduction of European-style farming, which has led to the removal of native forests (the natural habitat of the bellbird). Another important factor is the introduction of predatory species such as cats, weasels, stoats, ferrets, rats and food-robbing species like wasps. Predators either eat the birds or consume eggs, while food robbers compete with the bellbird for its natural food sources of nectar, honeydew and insects. The decline occurred around the same time as many other NZ species, but for unknown reasons was reversed and the species is still common across much of New Zealand.
BREEDING
Bellbirds breed in spring and summer (two broods), building a loose nest of twigs and grasses, lined with feathers and fine grasses. Most nests are in a fork under dense cover, from near ground level to >5m. The clutch size is typically 3-4, rarely up to 5 eggs. The female incubates and both parents care for the young.
THREATS AND CONSERVATION
Bellbirds are common throughout most of their range, and can reach extraordinarily high densities on predator-free offshore islands (e.g. 5.5 to 9.1 pairs per hectare). The cause of the rapid decline of the bellbird from Northland and around Auckland in the 1860s is a matter for speculation. At least nine attempts had been made to translocate bellbirds to islands or mainland sites up to 2012; most failed, and none has yet resulted in a well-established population.
BEHAVIOUR AND ECOLOGY
Bellbirds are territorial when breeding, but may leave the territory to feed at nearby sources of concentrated food, such as nectar. After breeding they move around, usually alone, although several may feed simultaneously in a flowering tree. Males are substantially larger than females and often dominate at concentrated food sources such as nectar sources. The outer primaries of males are notched and these produce a whirring when the birds are in flight and males accentuate the sound during territorial disputes. The oldest known bird was over 8 years. Banded birds have moved up to 10 km, but they are likely to move greater distances when searching for concentrated food source during winter.
FOOD
Bellbirds mainly feed on nectar from many native and introduced plants. They use their brush-like tongue to reach deeply into flowers. In late summer and autumn they take fruit, and in beech forests they take honeydew from scale insects on beech trunks. Bellbirds also eat many insects and spiders by gleaning trunks, branches and leaves; also by hawking. Young appear to be fed insects almost exclusively. As honeyeaters they play an important part pollinating numerous native plants such as mistletoe, flax, fuchsia and kowhai. Subsequently, when feeding on fruits they have a role in dispersing the seeds, and so they assist in the regeneration of the forest in at least two ways.
