A BEAUTY that is common and widespread in Britain, their song is a familiar sound now that spring is upon us., during the breeding season, its diet is one that includes a significant proportion of insects and in winter almost strictly seed-eating regime. The male above was captured in my garden, was not sure whether to post this one or not, so do hope you enjoy it.

Wood Warbler - Phylloscopus sibilatrix
The wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe, and just into the extreme west of Asia in the southern Ural Mountains.
This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in tropical Africa.
It is a summer visitor to the United Kingdom, seen from April until August. It has declined there in recent years. It is now very rare in Ireland, where only one or two pairs are recorded breeding in most years, usually in County Wicklow.
Various factors associated with forest structure, including slope, forest cover, proportion of broad-leaf forest, canopy height and forest edge length, all influenced the occupancy rates of this declining forest species. Conservation measures are therefore required that provide and maintain the wood warblers preferred forest structure. There is also a preference for forest in the non-breeding season, however this habitat is declining in wintering areas such as Ghana. Despite the decline in forest habitats, there has been no change in number of wood warblers as it appears that this species can use degraded habitats, such as well-wooded farms. However, further loss of trees will likely have a negative impact on this species in the future

This Black-winged Stilt was calling out as he flew by us on a sunny morning.
Black-necked stilts have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird. The longest are flamingos.
The long, pink or red legs of the stilt allows the bird to wade in shallow water to search for food.

"American Wigeons eat a higher proportion of plant matter than any other dabbling duck thanks to their short gooselike bill. The shortness of the bill helps exert more force at the tip so they can pluck vegetation from fields and lawns with ease."

“The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.” — Gertrude S. Wister
The great grey owl (Strix nebulosa) is found throughout Northern Europe, Northern Asia and a significant proportion of North America. They are quite large birds, rivalling the Eurasian Eagle Owl in size. The great grey owl has a large, rounded head and yellow eyes, with light underparts mottled with darker grey feathers. Their wings and back are darker grey with lighter bars.
The great grey owl has a large "facial disk." The facial disk is a concave circle of feathers around the eyes of the bird. It helps to collect sound waves and direct them toward the owl's ears, helping the owl to locate its prey by sound. The great grey owl has the largest facial disk of any bird of prey.
Their diet consists mainly of small mammals and their preferred prey is voles, however they will also eat gophers, weasels, squirrels, rabbits, rats and mice. They nest in dense coniferous forests in most of the northern hemisphere.
The female will lay between two to six eggs at one- to two-day intervals. The female does all of the incubation, which starts when the first egg is laid. After four to six weeks the chicks hatch. The male provides all the food for the young, which is torn into smaller pieces by the female. When food is scarce the female great grey owl will often starve herself in order to feed her chicks, and may lose up to a third of her body weight. The chicks will leave the nest after approximately a month and can fly well after two months. The young stay close to home and are cared for by the female for some time after leaving the nest.
Dunnock - Prunella Modularis
aka Hedge Sparrow
The dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a small passerine, or perching bird, found throughout temperate Europe and into Asia. Dunnocks have also been successfully introduced into New Zealand. It is by far the most widespread member of the accentor family, which otherwise consists of mountain species. Other common names of the dunnock include the hedge accentor, hedge sparrow, or hedge warbler.
Dunnocks are native to large areas of Eurasia, inhabiting much of Europe including Lebanon, northern Iran, and the Caucasus. They are the only commonly found accentor in lowland areas, all the others inhabit upland areas
Dunnocks were successfully introduced into New Zealand during the 19th century, and are now widely distributed around the country and some offshore islands. Favourite habitats include woodlands, shrubs, gardens, and hedgerows where they typically feed on the ground often seeking out detritivores as food.
The dunnock possesses variable mating systems. Females are often polyandrous, breeding with two or more males at once, which is quite rare among birds. This multiple mating system leads to the development of sperm competition amongst the male suitors. DNA fingerprinting has shown that chicks within a brood often have different fathers, depending on the success of the males at monopolising the female.Males try to ensure their paternity by pecking at the cloaca of the female to stimulate ejection of rival males' sperm. Dunnocks take just one-tenth of a second to copulate and can mate more than 100 times a day. Males provide parental care in proportion to their mating success, so two males and a female can commonly be seen provisioning nestlings at one nest.

When you think of the Netherlands, it is easy to picture never-ending fields of brightly coloured flowers. Many of the country’s most famous artists have portrayed the flower fields of the Netherlands in their work, and these fields are just as spectacular when they are seen in real life. However, these flower fields are more than just aesthetically beautiful: they are also economically important to the country. A significant proportion of the country’s agricultural exports are derived from the sale of freshly cut flowers, bulbs and mature plants, and the Netherlands contributions to the flower industry are so significant that they make up around two-thirds of the world’s total flora sales and completely dominate the European marketplace. Thanks to highly efficient supply chains, it is actually possible to buy flowers in New York which were freshly cut in the Netherlands that morning!
Pandanus tectorius is a species of Pandanus (screwpine) that is native to Malesia, eastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands. It grows in the coastal lowlands typically near the edge of the ocean. Common names in English include thatch screwpine, Tahitian screwpine, hala tree, pandanus, and pu hala in Hawaiian. The fruit is sometimes known as hala fruit. P. tectorius is a small tree that grows upright to reach 4–14 m (13–46 ft) in height. The single trunk is slender with brown ringed bark. It is spiny, grows to 4.5–11 m (15–35 ft) in width, and forks at a height of 4–8 metres (13–26 ft). It is supported by prop roots that firmly anchors the tree to the ground. Roots sometimes grow along the branch, and they grow at wide angles in proportion to the trunk. 23308
Cycads are seed plants with a very long fossil history that were formerly more abundant and more diverse than they are today.They have a cylindrical trunk which usually does not branch. Leaves grow directly from the trunk, and typically fall when older, leaving a crown of leaves at the top. The leaves grow in a rosette form, with new foliage emerging from the top and center of the crown. The trunk may be buried, so the leaves appear to be emerging from the ground, so the plant appears to be a basal rosette. The leaves are generally large in proportion to the trunk size, and sometimes even larger than the trunk. The leaves are pinnate (in the form of bird feathers, pinnae), with a central leaf stalk from which parallel ribs emerge from each side of the stalk, perpendicular to it. The leaves are typically either compound (the leaf stalk has leaflets emerging from it as ribs, or have edges (margins) so deeply cut (incised) so as to appear compound. Some species have leaves that are bipinnate, which means the leaflets each have their own subleaflets, growing in the same form on the leaflet as the leaflets grow on the stalk of the leaf (self-similar geometry). 26357
For Sliders Sunday today.
This is one of a much larger set of a dozen or so variants I have produced of this dahlia, mainly for a presentation I shall be doing next week. But I thought I would spare you from having to wade through them all, and just give you a break.
I love dahlias for their shapes and apparent symmetries. I say apparent, because when you throw them at a mirror filter as I have done here they become more symmetric, which kind of implies they weren't really to start with.
Whenever I do a mirror distortion of a flower it makes me want to go back to the original to check what I missed in its shapes and form which becomes apparent in the transformed version.
This image was taken a couple of months ago in a post-lockdown visit to a local open garden.
This is a plain colour edit (in Capture One) with a six-way mirror in Affinity Photo, moving the origin of mirrrors to find something interesting.
A bit of fun anyway. I'll post a link to the in-camera version as usual. I'll probably post some monochrome versions in the coming days.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday!

Eurasian blue tits, usually resident and non-migratory birds, are widespread and a common resident breeder throughout temperate and subarctic Europe and the western Palearctic in deciduous or mixed woodlands with a high proportion of oak. They usually nest in tree holes, although they easily adapt to nest boxes where necessary. Their main rival for nests and in the search for food is the larger and more common great tit.
The Eurasian blue tit prefers insects and spiders for its diet. Outside the breeding season, they also eat seeds and other vegetable-based foods. The birds are famed for their skill, as they can cling to the outermost branches and hang upside down when looking for food.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neunt%C3%B6ter
Der Neuntöter (Lanius collurio) oder Rotrückenwürger ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Würger (Laniidae) und in Mitteleuropa die häufigste Würgerart. Er ist vor allem durch sein Verhalten bekannt, Beutetiere auf Dornen aufzuspießen.
Zu seiner Nahrung zählen vorwiegend Großinsekten, aber auch kleine Säugetiere und Vögel. In großen Teilen Europas und dem westlichen Asien heimisch, brütet er in halboffenen Landschaften, die ein gutes Angebot an Hecken und Sträuchern aufweisen. Die Nester werden bevorzugt in Dornsträuchern angelegt. Durch die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft musste der Neuntöter in Mitteleuropa in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts große Bestandseinbußen hinnehmen. Der Zugvogel überwintert im südlichen Teil Afrikas.
Namensgebung
Der Name Neuntöter bezieht sich auf den irrigen Volksglauben, er würde erst neun Beutetiere aufspießen, bevor er sie verspeist.[1] Oder wie der Zedler es im 18. Jahrhundert ausdrückte: „… und wollen etliche, wiewohl ohne genungsamen Grund, davor halten, es genieße dieser Vogel nichts, er habe denn neunerley todt gemachet, als wovon er den Namen Neuntödter erhalten haben soll.“ Hieraus entstanden auch ähnliche Namen wie Neunmörder (niederdeutsch Negenmörder[2]) oder Neunwürger. Ebenfalls auf das „Spießen“ bezieht sich der Name Dorndreher (niederdeutsch Dorndreier[2]), Dornreich, Dornkreul[3] oder Dorntreter.[4] Die Bezeichnung Falkensänger scheint auf seinen falkenartigen Schnabel hinzudeuten. Im Niederdeutschen ist ferner der Name Dickkopp[2] bekannt, was die würgertypischen Proportionen lapidar, aber recht treffend beschreibt.
Da selbst noch im 18. Jahrhundert nicht einwandfrei zwischen den Arten (oder Geschlechtern) unterschieden wurde, sondern bisweilen alle einheimischen Würger als „Neuntödter“ bezeichnet wurden, sind nicht alle volkstümlichen Namen eindeutig Lanius collurio zuzuordnen. Diese Art wurde offensichtlich auch als „kleiner Neuntödter“ bezeichnet.[4] Namen mit Bezug zur Elster wie z. B. Berg-,[3] Wild- oder Kruckelster[4] bezeichnen vermutlich, da sie sich wohl auf die schwarz-weiße Färbung beziehen,[4] eher den Raubwürger. Weitere Namen, die sich in alten Nachschlagewerken finden, sind Quargringel (oder Quarkringel,[5] vielleicht auf Ruf und Bänderung bezugnehmend) oder Rabraker
Beschreibung
Der Neuntöter ist mit 16–18 cm Länge die kleinste mitteleuropäische Würgerart. Er zeigt einen sehr ausgeprägten Sexualdimorphismus – Männchen und Weibchen unterscheiden sich deutlich in der Färbung.
Die Flügellänge beträgt durchschnittlich 93 (91–95) mm, beim Männchen liegt sie zwischen 88 und 100 mm, beim Weibchen zwischen 82 und 98 mm. Die Länge des Schwanzes liegt beim Männchen zwischen 71 und 90 mm, beim Weibchen zwischen 68 und 85 mm. Das Durchschnittsgewicht liegt bei den Männchen etwa bei 28 Gramm. Bei den Weibchen kann es sich während der Brutzeit auf 32,8 Gramm erhöhen und liegt außerhalb der Brutzeit etwa bei 28,5 Gramm. Vor dem Zug können Fettdepots gebildet und das Gewicht auf maximal 37 g erhöht werden. Dies ist aber anscheinend nicht die Regel.
Weibchen
Das Weibchen zeigt im Gegensatz zum Männchen keinen grauen Oberkopf. Beim Weibchen ist die gesamte Oberseite einfarbig rötlich braun, meist etwas weniger lebhaft als beim Männchen. Die Gesichtsmaske ist undeutlicher, meist dunkelbraun bis schwärzlich angedeutet, das Auge hebt sich deutlicher davon ab. Dafür tritt der helle Überaugenstreif deutlicher hervor. Der Schwanz ist meist einfarbig braun mit weißen Säumen. Die Unterseite ist rahmfarben bis beige und zeigt an Brust und Flanken eine teils nur angedeutete, teils kräftige dunkle Schuppung („Sperberung“). Diese ist manchmal auch sehr blass auf dem Rücken zu sehen. Mit dem Alter kann die Schuppung verblassen, das Weibchen nähert sich in der Färbung dann immer mehr dem Männchen an
The little black cormorant (Phalacrocorax sulcirostris) is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds. It is common in smaller rivers and lakes throughout most areas of Australia and northern New Zealand, where it is known as the little black shag. It is around sixty centimetres long, and is all black with blue-green eyes. The little black cormorant is a small cormorant measuring 60–65 cm with all black plumage. The back has a greenish sheen. In breeding season, white feathers appear irregularly about the head and neck, with a whitish eyebrow evident. The plumage is a more fade brown afterwards. Males and females are identical in plumage. The long slender bill is grey, and legs and feet black. The iris of the adult is green and the juvenile brown. Immature birds have brown and black plumage. The little black cormorant ranges from the Malay Peninsula through Indonesia (but excluding Sumatra) and New Guinea (including the D'Entrecasteaux Islands) and throughout Australia. It is found in New Zealand's North Island. It is a predominantly freshwater species, found in bodies of water inland and occasionally sheltered coastal areas. It is almost always encountered in or near water. The little black cormorant feeds mainly on fish, and eats a higher proportion of fish than the frequently co-occurring little pied cormorant, which eats more decapods. 54871

The Upper Danube Nature Park (German: Naturpark Obere Donau), founded in 1980, is located in the south of Baden-Württemberg in Germany and encloses primarily the districts of Tuttlingen and Sigmaringen. It encompassed initially 860 km2 that were increased by about 500 km2 in 2005. The headquarters of the nature reserve association is at Beuron. The highest proportion of the nature park is taken up by the Heuberg, the south-western plateau of the Swabian Alb, and is punctuated by the Danube.

Red Knots are plump, neatly proportioned sandpipers that in summer sport brilliant terracotta-orange underparts and intricate gold, buff, rufous, and black upperparts. This cosmopolitan species occurs on all continents except Antarctica and migrates exceptionally long distances. Red Knots from eastern North America have declined sharply in recent decades owing in part to unsustainable harvest of horseshoe crab eggs, and they have become a flagship species for shorebird conservation in the twenty-first century. This guy has shed most of his breeding plumage.

For this week's Sliders Sunday I thought I would play with something different, in this case Analog Efex. I found the double exposure filters... interesting and very adaptable. This is probably not the best result, but just what I managed briefly today. More for when I have more time I think...
I retrieved the beetle with a little masking ;)
I'll post a proper version as well for those that prefer reality versus contrivance, and also, in the first comment, a link to the in-camera original.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image and the break from motion. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
Eastern towhees live in dense woodlands, scrubs, and fields with a high proportion of dense ground cover. Shrub coverage provides cover and foraging opportunities. Though they generally prefer lowlands, Eastern towhees are found at elevations up to 2000m (6500ft). They’ve been recorded at higher elevations of 3000m (9800ft) in New Hampshire.

Quite a significant proportion of South Australia looks like this in summer. Emigrating from Scotland over 20 years ago, it took quite a while to get used to the dry and dusty landscapes of South Australia after a lifetime of lush green that is ubiquitous in Scotland. But it definitely has a beauty of its own.

Finding Me Again - Mary of Gold
Hollyhocks are Holy Mallow
Steeplechasers
Tall and narrow
Cupid's dart might find its mark
And beat you to the golden arrow
But timeless beauty finds its glory
Woven deep in fairy stories
The fae cast magic like the
Circle of Life
The disc-shaped seed pods give rebirth
Fairy cheeses ripe and ready
Blown in the wind their aim is steady
The fairies dress in their ruffled blooms
Dance and spin in their skirts perfumed
Their protective charms ward off misfortune
They scale new heights perfectly proportioned
Until they grow taller than the spire
And people will stop by stare and admire
They told their story and I whispered mine
They thought mine mediocre and theirs divine
Then I told them my big news and they couldn't believe their ears
And the church bells rang and the Hollyhocks cheered
They know I've been waiting for over two years
For the operation that will improve my life and alleviate my fears

A high proportion of my Western Meadowlarks are singing from fence posts, so it was gratifying to find one by the roadside, perched on a little pile of debris. This is a common bird in my area throughout spring and summer - one of the first migrants to return, a harbinger of spring. And its song is very sweet, rivalled, perhaps, only by the Bobolink's.
(My apologies to anyone who faved the White-crowned Sparrow that I uploaded earlier in this spot and have now removed. A clerical error; I had already shared it, 4 years ago. You can find it in my Best of 2017 album.)
This ends my "farewell to the birds of summer" series. Tomorrow I will begin posting more recent images. October was a busy month, lots of wildlife coming up so stay tuned!

Sheppard Robson’s competition-winning design responds to the University’s vision of creating a world-class research and teaching facility. The architectural ambition of the project was to create a building that respected the neighbouring listed buildings and surrounding conservation areas whilst also adding a confident piece of contemporary design to Bristol.
The building is arranged in two parallel wings, with the east-facing element housing the office accommodation and responding to the proportion and massing of the adjacent listed buildings. Distinctly different in form, the west-facing wing is designed as an undulating aluminium wall.
I drove almost four hours for this shot, two to get here and the other two to get back to Ragged Point Inn (towards south) after sunset. Luckily, I don't get motion sickness often. It was very exciting to take light trails on the Pacific Coast Highway where you get to see many turns in one frame. Not many vistas like these. I have scouted for locations and did not find anything better than this. More importantly, a glimpse of the iconic Bixby Bridge makes this frame more accomplished.
We started (Me and wifey) from the Ragged Point Inn around 3 pm and kept stopping at potential vista points where we can see a clear view of at least a few turns in a single frame. But eventually, we settled on this one for many reasons (Bixby, four large turns, easy to pull over, ocean and land proportion, etc). Then it was a long wait for sunset! Almost an hour and a half.
I took a few shots to see if the trails are distinct enough without losing the pleasing sunset hues. I used a variable ND filter (Tiffen) for this shot. I love the variable, and it could be very handy if you know what not to do with it!
I hope you enjoy the shot. If you need any details about the shot and the location, please free to ask. Thanks for stopping by! GAU_4268-6
