Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is please? Taken in my garden (south east England) in May.
It looks a bit like a young Robin, but also looks too developed to be a young bird.
thanks
Still older fossils document the genus since the Late Oligocene onwards. The genus seems to have originated in the Southern Hemisphere, in the general region of Australia. By the Pliocene, it was probably distributed worldwide:
Gallinula sp. (Early Pliocene of Hungary and Germany)
Gallinula kansarum (Late Pliocene of Kansas, USA)
Gallinula balcanica (Late Pliocene of Varshets, Bulgaria).
Gallinula gigantea (Early Pleistocene of Czech Republic and Israel)
The ancient "Gallinula" disneyi (Late Oligocene—Early Miocene of Riversleigh, Australia) has been separated as genus Australlus.
Even among non-Passeriformes, this genus has a long documented existence. Consequently, some unassigned fragmentary rail fossils might also be from moor- or native-hens. For example, specimen QM F30696, a left distal tibiotarsus piece from the Oligo-Miocene boundary at Riversleigh, is similar to but than and differs in details from "G." disneyi. It cannot be said if this bird—if a distinct species—was flightless. From size alone, it might have been an ancestor of G. mortierii (see also below).
In addition to paleosubspecies of Gallinula chloropus, the doubtfully distinct Late Pliocene to Pleistocene Gallinula mortierii reperta was described, referring to the population of the Tasmanian native-hen that once inhabited mainland Australia and became extinct at the end of the last ice age.[6] It may be that apart from climate change it was driven to extinction by the introduction of the dingo, which as opposed to the marsupial predators hunted during the day, but this would require a survival of mainland Gallinula mortierii to as late as about 1500 BC.
"G." disneyi was yet another flightless native-hen, indicative of that group's rather basal position among moorhens. Its time and place of occurrence suggest it as an ancestor of G. mortierii (reperta), from which it differed mostly in its much smaller size. However, some limb bone proportions are also strikingly different, and in any case such a scenario would require a flightless bird to change but little during some 20 million years in an environment rich in predators. As the fossils of G. disneyi as well as the rich recent and subfossil material of G. mortierii shows no evidence of such a change at all, "G." disneyi more probably represents a case of parallel evolution at an earlier date, as signified by its placement in Australlus.

peony, (genus Paeonia), genus of about 30 species of flowering plants (family Paeoniaceae) known for their large showy blossoms. All but two species are native to Europe and Asia, and several species are cultivated as ornamentals and for the floral industry.
European common Peony
garden peony
There are three distinct groups of peonies: the herbaceous Eurasian peonies, the Asian tree, or moutan, peonies, and the North American peonies. The herbaceous peonies are perennials that grow to a height of almost 1 metre (about 3 feet). They have large, glossy, much-divided leaves borne on annual stems produced by fleshy rootstocks. In late spring and early summer they produce large single and double flowers of white, pink, rose, and deep crimson colour. The fragrant Chinese peony (P. lactiflora) and the European common peony (P. officinalis) have given rise to most of the familiar garden peonies. P. lactiflora has provided hundreds of cultivated varieties, including the Japanese types, with one or two rows of petals surrounding a cluster of partially formed petals in the centre (petaloid stamens).
The tree peonies are shrubby plants with permanent woody stems. The plants sometimes attain a height of 1.2 to 1.8 metres (about 4 to 6 feet). They begin flowering in late spring. The blossoms vary in colour from white to lilac, violet, and red. Tree peonies require a hot dry summer season for best growth, and they can be grafted in late summer or autumn on the roots of herbaceous peonies. Horticultural varieties have been developed from the Chinese species P. suffruticosa. A race of hybrids, developed by crossing P. suffruticosa with the yellow Chinese P. delayavi, has both single and double flowers, sometimes tinged with red. Many varieties have been grafted onto supportive rootstock and so cannot be readily propagated by simple division. Peonies are seldom grown from seeds except in breeding programs; the seed takes about two years to germinate.
Two peony species are native to North America. Brown’s, or western, peony (P. browni) ranges from California to Montana, and California peony (P. californica) is found only along the Pacific coastal mountains of California and Mexico.
This photo of a Night Heron was taken in Malaysia. The species is a medium-sized, stocky heron (about 60 cm) with a black crown and back, grey wings, white underside, and striking red eyes. It has a strong black bill, yellowish-green legs, and mainly hunts at night or during twilight along calm waters such as mangroves, lakes, or marshes.
The species is distributed worldwide. In Malaysia it is usually resident year-round and often occurs in larger colonies, making encounters more frequent. In Europe it is mostly migratory, locally distributed, and often noticeably more wary, especially in breeding areas or quiet wetlands. This makes it harder to approach and typically requires more patience and careful fieldcraft for successful wildlife photography.
Great word, isn't it? Just rolls off the tongue. While its use might admittedly fall under the heading of pretentious for those very few who might somehow know its meaning, it remains a tragedy what is happening to our language and the ever increasing disdain and lack of concern for vocabulary. Do the schools still teach it? Do standardized tests still recognize excellence in it? Or have we become so "woke" that the only things that matter are recognition of our "unconscious or implicit racial bias" or that gender is something that can be chosen by our children from 70+ options. I think we all know the answer to that.
The one word that our present culture wildly accepts and inappropriately and indiscriminately uses begins with "f" and was, above all others, taboo when I was young. Is this a sign of an advancing culture or one in decline? A rhetorical question, but I, for one, still cringe when I hear it. As our language coarsens, so does our civility. In a time of equal parts tragedy and nonsense, it's truly a shame to see all our cultural norms and mores decline so quickly.
And from what I understand defines being "woke," count me as soundly asleep.
just a test shot.
I would like to have two versions. Each while snowing...
1. Daylight. Strong high key with strong contrasts. --> with a WHITE background
2. Nighttime again with snow. Flash the basket and the snowflakes from below. --> with a BLACK Background!
where is the problem? It was snowing this early morning/night. I could have made both pictures. ...But I had to work...
so I just made a test at noon if the perspective works

A paddy field is a flooded field of arable land used for growing semiaquatic crops, most notably rice and taro. Fields can be built into steep hillsides as terraces or adjacent to depressed or steeply sloped features such as rivers or marshes. They require a great deal of labor and materials to create and need large quantities of water for irrigation. Oxen and water buffalo, adapted for life in wetlands, are important working animals used extensively in paddy field farming. Paddy field farming remains the dominant form of growing rice in modern times. (Wikipedia)

We visited many paddy fields during our time in Thailand. These fields, surrounded by mountains, are home to many grassland birds and raptors.

Maybe 30 minutes before I shot 1 in 7, this is taken just to the south of Brandelhow Jetty looking down Derwent Water towards Borrowdale and the Central Lakes.
I’m no fan of walking around in wellies which often compromises my ability to wade out into the water in situations like this (why is it that the best composition is always just that bit further out into the water?). No problem on this morning, it might only have been 5.00 am but in the middle of a heatwave I was in shorts and t shirt, so I just rolled them up and waded out barefoot on the somewhat painful rocks and set up my camera on the tripod.
I took two versions of this shot, one at 1/15th of a second and this one at 100 seconds (again playing around with my new shutter release cable….it’s been pointed out to me that I could have just downloaded a Fuji app and done this via my phone. Call me old school but I prefer technology to get out of the way, there is nothing quite as satisfactory as pressing a button!). The longer version won and its interesting to draw conclusions as to why…..it was still but the lake was rippled and the longer exposure has removed this, but it was still enough for the strange heatwave mist to have some definition in it. End analysis the longer exposure imparts a softness and ethereal atmosphere to my eyes. Shooting away from the sunrise has reduced the contrast in the scene reducing the noise issues I had with the later jetty shot taken into the sun.
The quintessential ‘lake district cottage by the lake’ is Brandelhow Cottage, I love the way it sits in isolation, standing out painted in white, making for a great focal point. What a morning…..
Happy Bench Monday and new week!!

Everyone knows that most agricultural products require the fields to change every season, meaning you need to let fields sit fallow sometimes, to rest. The same is true at the Wooden Show Tulip Farm. Every year the tulips are in a different field. They have one field that lines up particularly well with Mt. Hood, that's the field they used this year. The last time this field was used was when they shut down the whole event for Covid. It's been about 6 years since the public got to see flowers in this field.
I had the treat this year of having my son greet me there, he worked at the event this year, his first job. He is also know getting into photography, so we were shooting side by side, how neat is that?
Let me know what you think if this one, my wife liked it, which means it had tons of color (she only likes the colorful shots).

The Greyhound is an ancient and noble breed renowned as the fastest dog on Earth, but also famous for being a docile "45-mph couch potato" in the home. They make calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance family pets for the right household.
Key Characteristics
Speed:
Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in just a few strides, thanks to their unique, aerodynamic build, deep chest, flexible spine, and long, powerful legs.
Temperament:
Despite their athletic prowess, Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, and quiet dogs. They are non-aggressive, typically get along well with people and other dogs, and are known for their calm, even-tempered nature indoors.
Exercise Needs:
They are built for sprinting, not endurance, and require surprisingly little exercise—around an hour of daily activity, ideally split into two shorter walks with the chance for a supervised sprint in a securely fenced area.
Prey Drive:
As sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase fast-moving objects (like squirrels or rabbits). For this reason, they should generally remain on a lead in open public spaces and a secure, high-fenced garden is essential.
Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds in history, appearing in ancient Egyptian art dating back to 4000 BCE and the only dog breed mentioned by name in the Bible.

The same procedure every year. Two applications are required to fly a drone in Thailand. A kind of driving licence or personal licence from the CAAT and a specific drone licence from the NBTC. Both applications require a lot of paperwork, forms have to be filled out and uploaded, photos with serial numbers, entry documents, an insurance confirmation, a residence address. If all goes well, the application to the CAAT has already been approved before the trip and so the application can be submitted to the NBTC with the entry stamp on the day of arrival. Ideally, processing will take less than half a day and you will then be sent a transfer order. The fee is 224 baht including bank charges. In the end, you have two certificates that allow you to fly a drone legally. I wouldn't do it without the certificates, because if the worst comes to the worst, you are covered, especially in the event of an accident.
A wonderful scenery between Ao Nang and Railay, a special the view from above!
Tibor has a flock of sheep that varies in size but is anything up to 600 strong after the lambing season. Here he is with part of his pack of livestock guardian and herding dogs.
Many people ask why does Tibor require so many large dogs? His flock graze on agricultural land on the lower slopes of the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania. Bears and wolves are regular visitors from the forest and they test the defences of his dogs, in the hope of gaining an easy meal.

Taken at Oak Hill Lock, near Froxfield, Wiltshire. A bit of a tricky one to capture. To get the the falling water and the sunset required me to logde my camera between metal bars of a protective grill, and then prop up with my tripod so I could get the long exposure. Three different exposures merged together in photoshop.

Col de la Croix Morand le 12 Juillet 2014.
Nous sommes un dimanche.
A plus de 1 100 mètres d'altitude.
Une fraîcheur qui adhère au corps et s'insinue un peu partout... Sensations fines et parfumées des herbages d'altitude. Un sentiment de vitalité exacerbée. Les sens en éveil... Tout se réveille en soi.
Avec la Chris, nous descendons sur Sète mais, avec escapades.
Nous sommes fougueux en ces lieux. Un peu plus bas nous traverserons un petit village, où ses habitants en tenues d'époque rejoueront un chapitre de notre révolution.
Le 14 Juillet approche...
Et nous... nous nous rapprocherons de notre Languedoc
avec encore une traversée chargée d'instants de grâce.

We are a Sunday.
At over 1100 meters altitude.
A freshness that adheres to the body and creeps everywhere ... Sensations fine and fragrant high altitude grasslands. A sense of heightened vitality. The senses ... All awakens in itself.
With Chris, we descend on Sète but with escapades.
We are passionate in these places. A little further down we pass a small village, where its inhabitants rejoueront time required to a chapter of our revolution.
July 14 approaches ...
And we ... we get closer to our Languedoc
with even a crossing loaded with moments of grace.

Another shot from Ladybower to share today, this one has the overflow more dominant in the frame, it sits directly below and close to the boundary wall so requires an Ultra Wide Angle lens to be able to fit it all into the composition.
The sky was mesmerising creating some wonderful reflections across the waters surface and I just loved the way the rim of the overflow picked up the vibrant orange colours of the dawn.(1.3secs f6.3 @ 7mm NiSi 0.9 reverse ND grad 3D printed holder)
So as some of you know, I got a puppy for the first time in my life. Never imagined how it would feel to own such a beautiful pure being & of course, that it requires not only petting, but hard work & responsibility, to help him be his own best self.
Also, had the puppy blues after a couple of days & still feel a little uneasy... after all I will remain strong for him, because that is my duty. 🐶💫💙
About half of the 1 1/2 mile hike to Cummins Falls requires water shoes. On a hot summer day, the knee deep water is pretty refreshing and leads to a popular swimming hole at the base of the falls. This park is near Nashville, TN.
Sighted this beautiful bird sunbathing in the sun early this morning. This is a target bird of mine for flight photography, and is not difficult to sight around here. It is hard to get it in flight though since it requires a clear line of sight and the bird has to fly nearby.
The neck and face are quite thin and AF didn't catch them, so had to focus on the body and reduce the F-Value. It was there for about 15 mins preening itself, drying the wings and finally flew away to the far side of the lake. The bird is known for diving into the water, swimming under and catching fish.
Thanks in advance for the views and feedback if any.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland, captured in February 2025.
That's me today... though it won't help.
I had a good day yesterday, in Long Covid terms, so I was able to cook a proper meal. Rare these days but my lentil ragù was delicious. Today, however, there is fatigue.
Fatigue isn't just feeling tired or sleepy. It's deep. An inner painful aching of exhaustion where rest and sleep does absolutely nothing to help. Where you can sleep soundly for 8 hours and wake up as if you have just finished a marathon. Where you are weak and heavy all over. Where you can barely raise your arms.
I am one of the lucky ones. My fatigue is intermittent. I get some good days. Not many but some. Millions of people with Long Covid and ME/CFS are bedbound.
That's why I protect myself from further infection. I already know that I am susceptible to Long Covid and I have to protect my baseline. I have to avoid being further disabled.
Coffee won't help today but it is warm and tasty and, at home, I drink decaffeinated anyway.
Enjoy.
Substations are required for completing the required actions for all operations related to power systems. Substations are groups of electrical equipment through which customers get a supply of electrical power from generating stations. The electrical quantity in substations can be altered by varying the voltage and frequency levels to provide quality power to consumers. A substation is a combination of various electrical equipment, with the most important ones being transformers, conductors, insulators, isolators, circuit breakers, relays, lightning arresters, bus bars, and capacitor banks.

Bringing up the rear of an eastbound BNSF oil train, KCSM 4536 and company traverse the short but scenic Rollins Canyon to the east of Rollinsville. The canyon is inaccessible except by foot or by rail, and this view required a good walk and a bit of climbing.
Having hiked here for a westbound UP train, we had no clue this train was even in the picture. Little did we know, our anticipated train was waiting a few miles east at Pinecliffe to meet this eastbound. Imagine our surprise when this power showed up on the rear, talk about being in the right place at the right time!
The average porcupine has about 30,000 quills and as I watched it forage my parent’s yard I remembered that dogs and porcupines don’t mix well. Lucky for me, they don’t have any dogs now so the presence of a porcupine no longer requires an expensive painful trip to the vet, and I enjoyed watching this fella for a few minutes one early morning.
🇫🇷 La cathédrale catholique Saint - Jean - Baptiste de Fira , a été construite au XVIIe siècle par les jésuites de l'ordre apostolique. Ces missionnaires avaient pour mission de propager le catholicisme sur l'île.
Lors du grand tremblement de terre de 1956 ,le toit s'est effondré et l'église a nécessité d'énormes travaux de reconstruction et de rénovation qui se sont poursuivis jusqu'en 1970. Pendant ce temps, l'église de l'Immaculée Conception de la Sainte Vierge servait de cathédrale. L'architecture de la cathédrale est de style baroque.

🇬🇧 The Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Fira was built in the 17th century by the Jesuits of the Apostolic Order. The mission of these missionaries was to spread Catholicism on the island.
During the great earthquake of 1956, the roof collapsed and the church required extensive rebuilding and renovation work, which lasted until 1970. During this time, the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin served as the cathedral. The architecture of the cathedral is in the Baroque style. The cathedral has a peach-coloured façade with blue accents. The building has a tall bell tower, which also serves as a clock tower.
🇬🇷 Ο καθολικός καθεδρικός ναός του Αγίου Ιωάννη του Βαπτιστή στα Φηρά χτίστηκε τον 17ο αιώνα από τους Ιησουίτες του Αποστολικού Τάγματος. Η αποστολή αυτών των ιεραποστόλων ήταν να διαδώσουν τον καθολικισμό στο νησί.
Κατά τη διάρκεια του μεγάλου σεισμού του 1956, η οροφή κατέρρευσε και η εκκλησία χρειάστηκε τεράστιες εργασίες ανοικοδόμησης και ανακαίνισης, οι οποίες συνεχίστηκαν μέχρι το 1970. Κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής της περιόδου, η εκκλησία της Άμωμης Σύλληψης της Υπεραγίας Θεοτόκου χρησίμευσε ως καθεδρικός ναός. Η αρχιτεκτονική του καθεδρικού ναού είναι σε μπαρόκ ρυθμό. Ο καθεδρικός ναός έχει πρόσοψη σε ροδακινί χρώμα με μπλε πινελιές. Το κτίριο διαθέτει ένα ψηλό καμπαναριό, το οποίο χρησιμεύει επίσης ως πύργος ρολογιού.
