The ringing of birds is so we learn about the proportion of juveniles and adults in the bird population and can say something about how the breeding season has been.
Update.
This was the first recorded sighting of this bird since it was tagged as a fledgling. Originated in Norfolk England.
good togo
With its gleaming, velvety blue-and-black plumage, the male Superb Fairy-wren is easily distinguished. These ‘coloured’ males are often accompanied by a band of brown ‘jenny wrens’, often assumed to be a harem of females, but a proportion of them are males which have not yet attained their breeding plumage. The contents of these birds’ untidy nests — a clutch of three or four eggs — are not necessarily the progeny of the ‘coloured’ male, as there is much infidelity among female fairy-wrens, with many eggs resulting from extra-pair liaisons.
A large proportion of MÁV passenger locomotives carry special or one off liveries. Pictured passing through Komárom is Bombardier TRAXX Class 480, No.480 006 which livery was applied in 2016 and celebrates 1700 years since the birth of the Hungarian born Saint Martin (Szent Márton).
The train is EC142, the 10:40 departure from Budapest-Keleti to Vienna Hbf.
Die Brücke scheint zu klein zu sein für das große Schiff, das durch die Büsche fährt. Es ist aber alles in Ordnung, ein großes Cargo Schiff fährt auf dem Nord-Ostsee-Kanal und passierte die 42 m hohe Levensauer Hochbrücke.
The bridge appears to be too small for the large ship that sails through the bushes. But everything is fine, a large cargo ship is sailing on the Kiel Canal and passed the 42 m high bridge

Key information
This Arctic-breeding wader sometimes comes to the coasts of the UK after storms. They are most often seen at the coast - around 200 birds per year are seen. Like the other phalarope species, the female is the more colourful and leaves the male to incubate the eggs and bring up the young. In North America, these birds are known as red phalaropes, due to the birds' orangey-red breeding plumage.
What they eat:
In winter, eats marine plankton picked from the sea's surface. On breeding grounds, grey phalaropes eat small insects and aquatic creatures.
Measurements:
Length:20-22cm
Wingspan:34-41cm
Weight:50-75g
Where and when to see them
Grey phalaropes spend a large proportion of their lives out at sea, many miles from land. Birds which turn up in the UK - largely around the coast but occasionally at wetlands inland - have been blown off-course by bad weather and strong winds.
In Bangladesh, a large proportion of marine and freshwater fish landings are processed by drying. Dry fish is locally called ‘Shutki’. In winter, many fishermen catch fish mainly to make dry fish. But traditional drying methods are used in the absence of a modern dry fish preservation facility. Most of time they dry fish under sun; these dried fish can bring them profit by exporting them. The fish is also exported to different countries after meeting local demand, traders say. Demand for fish drying labor corresponds with the lunar cycle, with two high and two low weeks each month. A flexible labor force is thus required, and most workers are hired on a daily basis. These casual laborers, who often lack alternative employment options, are usually able to find work for around 15 days per month, but sometimes as few as 10. The working day runs from dawn to dusk (roughly 6.00 am to 6.00 pm), and there is a strong gender division of labor. Men perform tasks which include washing fresh fish, applying pesticides to prevent fly infestation, hanging fish up to dry on scaffolding, weighing and bagging dried product and loading it onto trucks. Women are responsible primarily for sorting fresh fish by species, tying pairs of churri and loitya together so that they can be hung up, and turning and further sorting of mixed fish species during the drying process. At least 50% of the causal laborers employed are women & child. Workers said they get daily wage of Tk 300 in addition to some raw fish.

Proportion, Flickr Friday theme. Cookie, Bluebell and the little people . Monster lessons with the help of Dad.
During my travels today, I came across a remarkably large chickadee and its birdhouse!
The proportion of this little bird and its home to its surroundings was truly striking. Standing at 5’6”, I notice that the sapling beside the birdhouse is taller than I am, highlighting the impressive scale of the scene. It was a delightful reminder of how art can surprise us!

A very small proportion of the up to quarter of a million starlings taking off at dawn from their overnight roost in the Somerset Levels. Not only is it an amazing sight to see so many birds overhead, the sound they make as all those wings beat the air as they take off is wonderful. Well worth getting up before 6am on a freezing December morning to experience!
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"

The Polish government began planning a museum and memorial at Auschwitz almost immediately after the war ended. The Polish parliament passed an act creating the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum on July, 2, 1947. The first exhibition opened in that same year in Auschwitz I. The initial exhibit was expanded in 1950, and a new exhibition was installed in 1955. This latter exhibition is still on display today, though it has been modified and revised. The museum has undergone many changes marking sites in the camp to better illustrate the complexities of the victimization of Jews and others at Auschwitz.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial, located today on the site of the former Birkenau death camp, was a difficult project.
The unveiling of the International Monument to the Victims of Fascism in Birkenau, as the memorial was originally called, occurred in 1967 with approximately 200,000 people in attendance. Polish state officials, prisoners' organizations from many countries, the Israeli welfare minister, the East German and Italian foreign ministers, and numerous ambassadors and journalists were present. The memorial, too, has changed throughout the years. The plaques indicating that "4 million people" were killed at Auschwitz were removed in 1990. They were replaced with plaques stating the more accurate figure of “one and a half million.”
Birkenau was the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. During its three years of operation, it had a range of functions. When construction began in October 1941, it was supposed to be a camp for 125 thousand prisoners of war. It opened as a branch of Auschwitz in March 1942, and served at the same time as a center for the extermination of the Jews. In its final phase, from 1944, it also became a place where prisoners were concentrated before being transferred to labor in German industry in the depths of the Third Reich.
The majority—probably about 90%—of the victims of Auschwitz Concentration Camp died in Birkenau. This means approximately a million people. The majority, more than nine out of every ten, were Jews. A large proportion of the more than 70 thousand Poles who died or were killed in the Auschwitz complex perished in Birkenau. So did approximately 20 thousand Roma and Sinti, in addition to Soviet POWs and prisoners of other nationalities.
“This barrack (“the Death Barrack”) was used for the special isolation of those women prisoners of the concentration camp who were selected by the SS as unfit for further work to be sent to be murdered in the gas chambers. Here they had to await their deaths, without food or water, and often for several days. Many died in the barrack before they were summoned. When the barrack was full, additional prisoners who had been selected for death were kept outside in a locked yard.
Two types of barracks, brick and wooden, housed prisoners in Birkenau concentration camp. The brick buildings were erected in great haste, without suitable insulation, on marshy ground. More than 700 people were assigned to each barrack, although in practice the figure was sometimes higher. These barracks lacked any true heating; nor did they contain sanitary facilities.
Dampness, leaky roofs, and the fouling of straw and straw mattresses by prisoners suffering from diarrhea made difficult living conditions worse. The barracks swarmed with various sorts of vermin and rats. A constant shortage of water for washing, and the lack of suitable sanitary facilities, aggravated the situation.

I have found my enjoyment of seeing a deer crossing the road in front of me is in direct inverse proportion to how fast I am driving.
Absolute World is a residential condominium twin tower skyscraper complex in the five tower Absolute City Centre development in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The taller buildings have been nicknamed the "Marilyn Monroe" towers due to its curvaceous, hourglass figure likened to actress Marilyn Monroe.
