Little robust rainbow skink captured at White Rock, Queensland in full jpeg glory. Was one of at least five individuals all clamouring over a rocky outcrop in a seemingly co-operative fashion. Two in the leaf litter at the bottom of the rock face and two making their way down from the top. This little guy (approx 15cm tip to tail) looked like he was on sentry duty who would frequently wave his tail back and forth as though communicating my presence to the others or to serve as a warning to me. More than likely though it is no more than a distraction… to keep my eye on the tail, that they can so easily drop, in order to make a hasty get away.

These robust green wild leek leaves are reaching skyward for the scant sunshine as they hope to photosynthesize and power the growth of their amazing underground bulbs. Out east in the Appalachian Mountains these plants are called ramps and residents there hold festivals to celebrate the flavor of those edible bulbs. Don't pick them here at the State Preserve but if you have wild leeks growing on your property you can dig up a few bulbs and savor their delicious woodsy onion flavor. Wild leeks do flower, but not until July when these large distinctive leaves are long gone.
The old robust lock gates and the friendly lock keeper's houses offer a beautiful view of the Volkerak and the nature reserves outside the dike, Slikken van de Heen and Dintelse Gorzen. The Slikken van de Heen on the Brabant side is not accessible to visitors. However, the Dintelse Gorzen can be visited by hikers. Natuurmonumenten has set out a walking route here that makes it possible to experience this beautiful and unique nature up close.
Next to the lock is an old bunker from the Second World War. This was built by the Germans at the time as part of the so-called 'Atlantic Wall' and served as a defence against possible attacks from the current Volkerak. Nowadays, the Information Centre for the West Brabant Waterline is located here.
Nature port Benedensas is the starting point for a beautiful walk, canoe, sloop or bike ride through the water-rich edge of the Brabantse Wal. Stroll along paths through the bird paradise of Dintelse Gorzen or experience the serene tranquility of the Steenbergsche Vliet by canoe. There is also plenty to discover at Benedensas itself. Take a tour of the historic lock complex,
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. All birds have reddish-orange legs, and show a striking black an white pattern in flight. Sexes are similar.

El fumarel cariblanco, de tamaño ligeramente mayor que los fumareles común y aliblanco, presenta la silueta y las características propias de este género, aunque su pico es más robusto y su vuelo, menos ágil. El adulto en plumaje estival tiene el cuerpo (excepto las infracoberteras caudales) y las partes superiores, incluyendo obispillo y cola, de tonalidad gris ceniza. El pico y las patas son de color rojo oscuro, y el capirote, negro, se extiende hasta el dorso. La cara, blanca, resulta muy conspicua. En invierno muestra un aspecto general gris pálido, con las partes inferiores y la frente blancas y el resto del capirote listado de blanco. Los plumajes durante la muda no son tan llamativos como en los otros fumareles.
Muchas gracias por vuestras visitas, comentarios y favoritos.
Thank you very much for your visits, comments and favorites.
Robust, gregarious, and black-trimmed large white pigeon. Inhabits coastal forests on small offshore islands, only making occasional forays to mainland areas to forage and to roost. Often perches high on the bare branches of trees or on power/telephone lines; often found in flocks of ten or more. Song is very low in pitch and includes “woo-oo-woooo,” with the last syllable drawn out; loud at first and then trailing off. Compare with Silver-tipped and Torresian Imperial-Pigeons where overlap exists; no similar species in introduced range in the Caribbean. (eBird)
--------------
We saw these pretty pigeons only a couple of times during our time in Singapore. Always high up in a tree, in small groups. We'd seen the Torresian Imperial-Pigeon in Australia, and honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two.

Der Yak ist ein robustes Rind aus dem Hochland Zentralasiens, insbesondere Tibet, Nepal und der Mongolei. Seine dichte, lange Behaarung schützt ihn vor extremer Kälte in Höhenlagen von über 4.000 Metern. Yaks sind Herdentiere und leben in kleinen Gruppen. Der Yakbulle (männlich) kann über 1.000 kg wiegen. Yaks werden vom Menschen seit Jahrhunderten als Lasttiere, Fleisch- und Milchlieferanten sowie für Wolle genutzt. Ihr tiefes, grunzendes Brummen hat ihnen den wissenschaftlichen Namen "Bos grunniens" eingebracht – „grunzendes Rind“.
------------------------------------------
The yak is a hardy type of cattle native to the highlands of Central Asia, especially Tibet, Nepal, and Mongolia. Its thick, long hair provides insulation against extreme cold at altitudes above 4,000 meters. Yaks are herd animals that live in small groups. A yak bull (male) can weigh over 1,000 kg. For centuries, yaks have been used by humans as pack animals and as sources of meat, milk, and wool. Their deep, grunting sounds gave rise to their scientific name Bos grunniens – the “grunting ox.” (Quelle/source: Internet)

Portrait of an adult Eastern Robust Slider (Lerista punctatovittata) from a remnant and degraded patch of mallee woodland near Sea Lake in NW Victoria.
Es una hierba robusta perenne, más o menos pubescente, que puede alcanzar un metro de altura. De profunda raíz única, cónica, gruesa y pivotante. Muestra numerosas ramificaciones; las hojas basales son espatuladas, semicarnosas, suavemente dentadas, y las ubicadas en la parte superior del tallo se encuentran reducidas a brácteas. La floración, entre julio y septiembre, da lugar a inflorescencias liguladas de color azul-lila más o menos intenso e incluso rosa o blanco, sostenidas por un pedúnculo largo, rígido y estriado longitudinalmente; la flor tiene la particularidad de no abrirse más que a pleno sol, y seguir la trayectoria de éste al igual que los girasoles. Son hermafroditas, de reproducción autógama la mayoría de las veces. El fruto es un aquenio poligonal, con una corona (vilano) muy corta de diminutas escamas. FUENTE: es.wikipedia.org/

Deeply romantic yet squat and robust, Wells Cathedral, the Cathedral of St Andrew the Apostle, is mostly in Early English style. Construction was started in 1175 by Bishop Reginald FitzJocelyn on the site of a Saxon abbey built by St Aldhelm in 705; it replaced Sherborne as the seat of an episcopal see in 909, and it was removed again to Bath after the Norman Conquest in 1090. The new building begun by FitzJocelyn was intended from its inception to facilitate a return of the episcopal seat to Wells. The bulk of the work was finished by 1326.
The magnificent West Front, with 300 sculpted figures, followed in the years after 1365 under master mason William Wynford.
The Cathedral fell into disrepair under Oliver Cromwell, and after a happy interlude during the Restoration was again damaged by Puritan soldiers during the Monmouth Rebellion, who damaged the West Front and stabled their horses in the nave.
Wells Cathedral is the seat of the Bishops of Bath and Wells.
Robust and stocky, attractively marked with yellowish brown and white markings. Found in woodlands where the larvae will develop in rotten branches, mainly Oak. These nocturnal beetles can be seen from April to September. Rare in Southern England and South Wales.

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.
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres in length and 1.2 kilograms in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory. Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste. Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature. 67375
Hace semanas que no salgo al campo, pero hoy puedo subir unas cuantas fotillos, jeje, ahi unos Lestes dryas del mes pasado en Madrid, muchos ejemplares parasitados por ácaros rojos, como este, también sobre los Sympetrum sanguineum y presumiblemente sobre su huésped favorito, S. meridionale, aunque cuando fueron tomadas estas fotos estos aún no habían emergido.
Entre estos Lestes dryas se encontraba también algún L. sponsa, aunque yo no logré fotografiar ninguno.

A tree in the park that completely overwhelmed me when I walked up on it. This park was situated in between little shops in the Carmel by the Sea area and I was completely floored taking it in. I'm not quite sure that this photo does it justice but I hope you can appreciate the scope of it through my lens.
If you ever get the chance to stop in this part of the country please do so. There are around 100+ little shops that are so enticing. There are all situated on a slight hill with the path leading down to the Pacific Ocean. This park was about half way down.
Thanks for the continued viewership, comments, and faves.

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)
You almost never see a Mourning Warbler high in a tree, so seeing this male out in the open, singing his heart out to potential mates, was very exciting. Previously, I had had only a quick glimpse of a face deep in the shrubs.

A robust, squirrel-like rodent found in alpine grasslands throughout the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. Adults typically weigh between 4 and 9.2 kg, with a body length of 45–67 cm and a tail measuring 12–15 cm. They have thick fur and adaptations that help them endure cold, high-altitude environments.
These are very social animals living in colonies and we sighted them in good numbers on the side of mountain roads during our trip. They were playing with each other, seemingly hugging at time and foraging together. Their burrowing behavior not only provides shelter but also supports communal hibernation for six to eight months each year. These marmots feed primarily on grasses and flowering alpine plants. Marmots in the wild have an average lifespan of about 15 years.
The species plays a key ecological role in alpine meadows, supporting predators such as snow leopards, wolves, and large raptors.
La conchiglia è robusta, globulare, leggermente schiacciata nelle forme giovanili, con un diametro di 15-20 mm ed una altezza di 10-15 mm, e 5-6 spire leggermente convesse.
La colorazione di fondo è biancastra con riflessi porcellanacei, con fasce brune di vario spessore, che possono anche essere assenti. Quando presenti, possono essere in forma di spirale ininterrotta o tratteggiata, o di piccole macchie radiali. Il piede è di colore chiaro.
Si differenzia da altre specie simili, come p.es. Cernuella virgata e Eobania vermiculata, per l'ombelico molto piccolo e quasi interamente coperto e per il peristoma di colore rosa, tondeggiante, leggermente obliquo, talora tagliente negli esemplari adulti.
Distribuzione e habitat
Questa specie è diffusa in tutto il bacino del Mediterraneo.
È stata introdotta in numerose altre aree incluse il nord Europa, il Nord America, parte dell'Africa, Asia, e Australia, dove è divenuta spesso una specie invasiva, costituendo un serio problema per l'agricoltura.
È una specie tipica degli ambienti dunali, ma che si spinge anche all'interno, specie in prossimità di fiumi. Non è raro incontrarla anche in ambienti antropizzati.
Biologia.
Ha l'abitudine di estivare in posizioni molte esposte (steli di piante, staccionate), formando aggregati spesso molto numerosi; frequentemente è in associazione con Cochlicella acuta e Cernuella virgata.

Hace más o menos 1.300 años, dos canoas cargadas de animales y plantas, tripuladas por un grupo de polinesios robustos desembarcaron en la bahía de Anakena y colonizaron lo que luego se convertiría en el punto más aislado del Triángulo polinesio. Basta echar una mirada a las costas que rodean la isla para comprender por qué eligieron desembarcar aquí. Al poco tiempo Anakena llegaría a ser uno de los puntos más importantes de la isla y centro religioso de la tribu Miru.
La playa más importante de la isla; ideal para bañarse y tomar el sol. Cuenta también con lugares para disfrutar de comidas rápidas y hacer picnic.
A ROBUST seabird, best known for its large and densely packed breeding colonies. The Guillemot swims well and dives frequently. Love seeing them fly on whirring wingbeats and these relatively narrow wings are also used well when swimming underwater.

Compact, robust, and big-headed warbler. Males are striking with a black hood contrasting with whitish throat, gray back, and red eyering. Females duller with a gray hood, white throat, and buff body. Common in many typical Mediterranean habitats including tall bushes, open woodland, gardens, coast, and plantations. Usually first detected by its song, a fast, angry-sounding rattling "ctret-tret-tret-tret-tret" or "tetwtweer-tik-tik-tik" with whispering in between. The call is a dry "tseck."
