The foothills of the mountains in the Southern Lakes are covered in trees. The acid soils and humid conditions encourage ferns and moss, sessile oaks and the most wonderful beech trees, many of which are copper beech. Holly, rowan and hazel grow here too - the perfect environment for wildlife. Bird song everywhere - just magic. Red squirrels also abide here, unseen (by me, quiet as I was), as they are small and quick.
We even had a pair of nuthatches visit our bird feeder. They became used to me, coming out for the special food I put out for them. They were raising families of course, and so their food was rich in protein. Not cheap, but worth it !
Taken from the top of our 'holiday retreat' path one morning. The light was so lovely.
Thank you as always for your kind comments, faves and invites - hope you feel inspired to visit this wonderful place.

Auch wenn viele Menschen des Essen von Würmern verabscheuen:
Es gibt sie auch zu Mehl verarbeitet.
Der Proteingehalt ist 2,5mal so hoch wie bei Mandeln.
- Gegenüber Rind/Schwein/Hühnern
- haben sie eine weit bessere CO2 Bilanz
- haben sie weit weniger Wasserbedarf
- haben sie einen weit höheren Energiegehalt (Protein)
Even if many people disgust the food of worms:
They are also available processed into flour.
The protein content is 2.5 times that of almonds.
- Compared to beef/pork/chicken
- they have a far better CO2 balance
- they have far less water requirement
- they have a much higher energy content (protein)
This image is dedicated to CLEVE NASH, mentor and friend, who set a consistent high standard of pro quality bird photography for many of us CA Central Coast bird photographers. White-tailed Kites were his favorite raptor. I miss him. White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus) brings a vole back to the nest; SLO County; CA; USA.

Been researching the almost unbelievable, near miraculous tiny chemical ‘machines’ that are in us by the billions... and make us functional... Dyneins and Kinesins. To have your mind blown check out the few basic visual explanations on YouTube...
“ Dynein is a family of cytoskeletal motor proteins that move along microtubules in cells. They convert the chemical energy stored in ATP to mechanical work. Dynein transports various cellular cargos, provides forces and displacements important in mitosis, and drives the beat of eukaryotic cilia and flagella. Wikipedia”

American robin with food for the little ones. The robin family and the catbird family have nests near each other in the abelia bush. it's nice to see the two bird species getting along so well. Backyard bird.
Mehlwürmer haben zwar mehr Protein als Pekannüsse, aber im Geschmack können sie nicht mit den Nüssen mithalten.
Mealworms have more protein than pekan nuts, but in taste, they cannot compete with the nuts.
A male Rufous Hummingbird, his face obscured by his extended wings (likely in an attempt to not offend any vegan friends), opens wide in the pursuit of protein in the form of a tiny, flying Gnat. Though the majority of their diet consists of nectar, hummingbirds regularly supplement protein through the consumption of a wide variety of small insects, many of which they catch in mid-flight due to their incredible speed and flight agility.
Zukünftige Proteinquelle:
Mehlwürmer haben etwa 6 Mal so viel Protein wie Erdnüsse.
Future protein source:
Mealworms have about 6 times as much protein as peanuts.
"If you look at ocean water in a clear glass, you’ll see that it’s not clear but full of tiny particles. Seawater contains dissolved salts, proteins, fats, dead algae, detergents and other pollutants. If you shake this glass of ocean water vigorously, small bubbles will form on the surface of the liquid.
Sea foam forms under similar conditions – but on a much grander scale – when storms roll in and the ocean is agitated by wind and waves. The creation of sea foam can occur often in gargantuan proportions.
Most sea foam is not harmful to humans and is often an indication of a productive ocean ecosystem. But when large harmful algal blooms decay near shore, there are potential for impacts to human health and the environment. During blooms popping sea foam bubbles are one way that algal toxins become airborne. The resulting aerosol can irritate the eyes of beach goers and poses a health risk for those with asthma or other respiratory conditions."
Cedar waxwings snacking on tent caterpillars, taking some of the silken tent webbing along with the caterpillars. The remains of the caterpillar nest can be seen below the birds. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Rio & Ginny our Quaker parrots love eating egg. It's a good source of protein so especially beneficial coming up to the breeding season. I hard boil a chicken egg & give them a small amount each day chopped up in a dish. I store the left over boiled egg in the fridge, each one lasts them about 4 days. For Macro Mondays theme "Egg" HMM!
Well the simple answer is they feed on all manner of invertebrates and plant material, particularly seeds. But when they are feeding young they prefer high-protein insects to seeds. I photographed this one high on the Peak District Moors and in its beak it has the caterpillar of an Antler Moth (Cerapteryx graminis) which is common on these moors, flying in July and August. I walked down a moorland track (which incidentally was flanked with non-moorland vegetation like this Yorkshire Fog grass) and a Skylark rose up singing not far away. When I reached the same spot on the way back I saw him on the track but he then flew, disappearing into the trackside grass. It was raining at this point but I approached slowly and spotted him sitting on a stone in the grass just a few metres away, tenaciously holding a caterpillar. He just sat quietly as we walked past, even when I paused to take his photograph. I assume he had a nest with hungry youngsters somewhere nearby and it did not want to disclose its location while humans were nearby.
Incidentally the name Skylark sounds quintessentially English, inspiring poets and composers. Yet the name is a translation of Gesner's 1555 Swiss-German name Himmellerch. Although John Ray did call it "The common or Skie-Lark" in 1678, it was a century later when Thomas Pennant used it to differentiate from the rarer Woodlark, and the name caught on.

Mama Anna was sitting pretty on her nest of two babies. Soon the young will be larger than their mom who will feed them a rich, high protein, energy food that will make them allow them to fledge in three weeks.

(This is Not a Train).
A little ship moc i have had waiting for a photo opportunity for a while..... The seed part was the Train front, so i started from the back and Went forward......
It was fun to use those fronts, and incorporate them into a little ship. The overall shape pleased me, and made for a satisfactory build.
I did not have a plan for the ships use when i created it, but the colors made me think of protein, therefor it of course carries that!! ;-))
Plz feel free to comment, and enjoy!
