ROBUST bird, strongly associated with forest thickets and dense vegetation where there are trees. Usually in pairs, rather elusive and sulking, so when one comes out into the open, I treated my camera like a machine gun lol.

Visto y fotogragiado en la Vall del Corb, Vallfogona de Riucorb.
El picogordo común es un ave cantora fácil de reconocer por su pico ancho y grueso. Su cuerpo es también robusto y muestra un antifaz negro que alcanza hasta la barbilla. Es un ave difícil de ver, ya que prefiere las copas de los arboles y se mueve de forma pausada. Prefiere los bosques de hoja caduca, con presencia de robles y hayas, en los que construye sus nidos.

A ROBUST and pugnacious little wader. The Turnstone has a short, stout, and triangular bill that is used to turn stones and tideline debris in search of seashore invertebrates, but I rather suspect that this sea defence bolder is it a bit too big by far ..........lol........Seen at Hampton, near Herne Bay Kent.

Robust songbird with short, fairly stout bill. Male pale gray above, pale orange below, with a bold white throat bordered in back. Female and immature are grayish above, pale below with extensive streaking that fades at buffy lower belly. Inhabits drier woodland and shrubland. Loud whistling song, given by both sexes. (eBird)

Comonly seen and heard but often difficult to photograph. I finally got an opportunity to capture this distant male perched out in the open. We'd been able to get fairly close to the females a few times, so this was a nice chance to complete the "set".

ROBUST and familiar seabird, best known for its large and densely packed breeding colonies. The Guillemot swims well and dives frequently, its relatively narrow wings are also used when swimming underwater. Black and white but has a chocolate brown head and upperparts, seen in certain light.
Sexes are similar, and much loved by me. See on Skomer.

I've had a hard time identifying this pretty bird since I downloaded it. Merlin suggested a female White-breasted Whistler, but that would be rare. A quick check of my eBird checklists informed me we had a seen a Rufous Whistler and, et voilá, problem solved. A female Rufous Whistler (I hope). The eBird reviewer will be very quick to advise me if I am wrong.

Wild Teasel seedheads (Dipsacus fullonum) look spectacular even when all flower petals fall. Interestingly, the plant name ‘teasel’ derives from an old English verb "to tease" as its robust dried heads were used in the textile industry to raise the nap on woollen cloth in the past. Primrose Hill Community Woodland. Bath, BANES, England, UK.
This attractive and robust orchid looks like a hybrid between Common spotted-orchid x Southern marsh-orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsii x praetermissa / Dactylorhiza x grandis). As the two easily hybridise and both are common in the reserve it is likely, but hard to be sure, and no “parents” were growing nearby. Kenfig National Nature Reserve. Bridgend, Wales, UK
The Grey-headed Bushshrike is a strongly built, medium-sized bird with a thick robust recurved beak, occurring in Southern Africa. They are the only one of the group to inhabit Acacia thornveld, Miombo and other broad-leaved woodlands and forests. It is well-adapted to the skillful capture and killing of various types of prey.
Size: Height 23–26 cm
Weight: male 73–84 g and female 65–99 g.

ROBUST and familiar seabird, one of four seen at Dover Harbour, Kent UK, seen in winter plumage. The Guillemot swims well and dives frequently, it flies on whirring wing beats, and the relatively narrow wings are also used when swimming underwater, This is the only time of the year we may see a few of these passing through, this was seen today (Wed). A real joy !!

Robust songbird with a strong, pointed bill. Grayish overall except for brown back and pale spot between eyes and bill (lores). Immature similar but with faint streaks on breast; juvenile more heavily streaked still, with rusty eyebrow. Inhabits most treed environments in Australia, foraging in pairs from ground level into treetops. Sings a beautiful five-note song. (eBird)

We recorded these birds nearly every day during our travels, but they were usually very difficult to see. This photo is from our first encounter with the Gray Shrikethrush, and it really didn't want its photo taken. Still, I managed to get most of the bird in the frame before it disappeared back into the deep shadows.

The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a medium-sized black and white passerine bird native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Although once considered to be three separate species, it is now considered to be one, with nine recognised subspecies. A member of the Artamidae, the Australian magpie is placed in its own genus and is most closely related to the black butcherbird (Melloria quoyi). Currawongs have yellow eyes, whereas Magpies have red-brown eyes and Butcherbirds have very dark brown, almost black eyes. It is not, however, closely related to the European magpie, which is a corvid. The adult Australian magpie is a fairly robust bird ranging from 37 to 43 cm in length, with distinctive black and white plumage, gold brown eyes and a solid wedge-shaped bluish-white and black bill. The male and female are similar in appearance, and can be distinguished by differences in back markings. The male has pure white feathers on the back of the head and the female has white blending to grey feathers on the back of the head. With its long legs, the Australian magpie walks rather than waddles or hops and spends much time on the ground. Described as one of Australia's most accomplished songbirds, the Australian magpie has an array of complex vocalisations. It is omnivorous, with the bulk of its varied diet made up of invertebrates. It is generally sedentary and territorial throughout its range. Common and widespread, it has adapted well to human habitation and is a familiar bird of parks, gardens and farmland in Australia and New Guinea. This species is commonly fed by households around the country, but in spring (and occasionally in autumn) a small minority of breeding magpies (almost always males) become aggressive and swoop and attack those who approach their nests. 64161
Robust warbler found near the ground in thick vegetation. Yellow below with blue-gray head and olive back. Adult males show black chest patch. Females are paler gray on the head; immatures are more olive-toned with a yellowish throat. Breeds in brushy, weedy clearings within mixed or coniferous forest. Often favors raspberry thickets. Tends to stay hidden in low vegetation, so can be difficult to see. Listen for its rolling song, “churry churry churry chew.” Most similar to MacGillivray’s Warbler, but little range overlap, and Mourning has somewhat shorter tail and lacks bold white eye-arcs. Also frequently confused with Common Yellowthroat, especially in fall, but Mourning is larger, with heftier pinkish bill, and brighter yellow underparts. (eBird)

When we arrived at the trail, we could hear him singing deep in the tangles below the path. We looked high and low, and finally resigned ourselves to a "heard" tick for this lovely warbler. After spending a hour or two on the trail, in the company of mosquitoes, we headed back to the car. A large crowd of people alerted us to something good and there he was, out in the open, singing for all to hear.

Il cardo dei lanaioli o scardaccione, il cui nome scientifico è Dipsacus fullonum L., è una pianta erbacea molto diffusa in tutto il mediterraneo e, per questo, adoperata dall'uomo, in passato, per le sue numerose qualità. Cresce abbondante e rigogliosa praticamente ovunque, lungo i fossi, a bordo strada, sulle macerie e negli incolti pietrosi ed argillosi e, raggiungendo un'altezza fino a due metri, è ben individuabile, anche per via delle robuste infiorescenze ovoidali, dette capolini; questi sono formati da tanti piccoli fiori violacei, che si aprono durante l'estate.

Catedral de Burgos, cimborrio.
El cimborrio se levanta sobre robustas columnas que se cruzan en las naves longitudinal y transversal. Sobre este espacio existió anteriormente una bóveda sencilla de crucería, que en el siglo XV el obispo D. Luis de Acuña ordenó derribar para sustituirla por un cuerpo de luces que construyeron los Colonia, Juan y Simón, y que finalmente estaría concluido hacia finales del siglo XV. Esta obra, que era de gran belleza según los testimonios de viajeros europeos, no duró ni cincuenta años, pues se cuartearon sus columnas y se desplomó, con gran estrépito, la noche del 3 al 4 de marzo de 1539.
La reconstrucción comenzó aquel mismo año con las aportaciones del Obispo, Cabildo de Canónigos, Regimiento de la ciudad, nobles y pueblo, que rivalizaron aportando cuantiosos fondos. Un año después, en 1540, Felipe Vigarny (que trabajaba en Toledo) fue reclamado por el Concejo burgalés para que opinara y presentara un proyecto sobre la reconstrucción del hundido crucero de la Catedral. Parece que también fueron consultados Diego de Siloé y Rodrigo Gil. Finalmente se encargó la obra a Juan de Vallejo y Francisco de Colonia, trabajando además en la misma numerosos canteros y escultores. En 1555 estaba casi concluido, pero las obras se prolongaron hasta 1568.

... is the calculated illustrative calendar date on which humanity's resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year.
The term "overshoot" represents the level by which human population overshoots the sustainable amount of resources on Earth. When viewed through an economic perspective, EOD represents the day in which humanity enters environmental deficit spending. EOD is calculated by dividing the world biocapacity (the amount of natural resources generated by Earth that year), by the world ecological footprint (humanity's consumption of Earth's natural resources for that year), and multiplying by 365, the number of days in a year: (Wikipedia)
In 1971 EOD was on December 21,
in 1987 it was on October 23,
last year the day was on July 29
and even the worldwide 'Corona lockdown break' this year brought only about 3 more weeks ...
UPDATE: in 2021 it was on July 29 again :-((
