Martín pescador
Alcedo atthis
Familia: Alcedínidos – Alcedinidae
Aspecto: Aves pequeñas, robustas, de colores brillantes, como “joyas voladoras”, que se encuentran junto a los ríos. Las partes superiores son de color azul verdoso y turquesa; las partes inferiores son de color naranja. Patas cortas, pico largo similar a una daga.
Tamaño: Largo 17-19,5 cm, peso 16-23 g.
Nido: En agujeros de riberas arenosas pronunciadas, durante la fase final de apareamiento usan espinas de pescado como material para construir el nido.
Reproducción: Pone entre 5 y 10 huevos en mayo. Incuban ambos padres, durante 19 a 22 días. Las aves jóvenes abandonan el nido entre los 21 y los 37 días.
Distribución: Se reproduce poco en Finlandia, y se encuentra principalmente junto a ríos en el sur. La población reproductora finlandesa se estima en solamente 5 a 30 parejas.
Migración: Es parcialmente sedentario. La migración de otoño es entre agosto y octubre, y regresa en abril a mayo. Pasa el invierno en Europa occidental y central. A veces las aves intentan pasar el invierno en Finlandia, pero en general con malos resultados.
Alimentación: Peces pequeños (60%) e invertebrados.
Sonidos: Un “tsiit” agudo, insistente.
El martín pescador está categorizado como en gran peligro de extinción en Finlandia. Se calcula que la población reproductora europea es del orden de las 100.000 parejas.
El martín pescador se reconoce al instante por su brillante plumaje multicolor. Su cuerpo también tiene una forma robusta y corta característica con una cabeza inusualmente grande y un pico enorme en forma de daga. El color de su pico puede ser azul o verde brillante reluciente, según la iluminación. Las partes inferiores son de color naranja, y tienen manchas de color blanco amarillento en la garganta y detrás de los cobertores de los oídos. Sus patas cortas son de color rojo ligeramente rosado, su iris es marrón y el pico es negro; a menudo presenta color rojo en la mandíbula inferior.
Length: 35mm
A robust looking damselfly with a dark greyish abdomen and a blue "tail" in the male. The eyes of the male are deep red and the thorax in both sexes is bronze black on top. The female has short, yellowish ante-humeral lines.
Found in lakes, gravel pits, canals and slow-flowing rivers. The males often sit on water lily leaves defending their leaf from allcomers.
The similar, but smaller, Small Red-eyed Damselfly is sometimes found in the same habitat and careful observation is needed to distinguish the two species. Could be confused with the Blue-tailed Damselflies Ischnura elegans and I. pumilio, but these are smaller less robust looking insects and do not have red eyes.

Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti 1519 - 1594) - Saint Mark saving a Saracen from shipwreck (1562-1566) - oil on canvas 396 x 334 cm- Galleria dell'Accademia - Venice
Eseguito tra il 1562 ed entro il 1566, insieme a La messa in salvo del corpo di san Marco e al Ritrovamento di san Marco oggi esposto a Brera, il dipinto rappresenta il miracoloso salvataggio di un saraceno ad opera di San Marco, invocato durante una tempesta. Il fascino dell'opera consiste soprattutto nella drammatica evocazione del mare in tempesta che con onde gigantesche inghiotte uomini e navi e nella maestria nel comporre i corpi dei marinai in torsione, sconvolti dalla furia degli elementi. L'uso abilissimo dei contrasti di luce contribuisce a dare alla rappresentazione un senso fortemente drammatico.
Executed between 1562 and 1566, along with Saint Mark’s Body Brought to Venice and Finding the Body of Saint Mark now at Brera, the painting depicts the miraculous rescuing of a Saracen by Saint Mark, invoked during a storm. The work is fascinating above all because of the dramatic evocation of the roiling sea during the storm, giant waves swollowing men and ships, and the masterful depiction of the contorted bodies of sailors shocked by the fury of the elements. The deft use of contrasting light contributes to the painting’s highly dramatic force.

...fiore dallo stelo forte e robusto... capace di superare anche i due metri di altezza.
Un fiore che si contraddistingue per la sua semplicità disarmante... è lui il fiore che guarda in faccia il sole. Non ha paura, è fiero di sé, ama senza pregiudizi, senza vergogna, con tenacia va avanti anche se non si sente sempre apprezzato. Piange per amore se necessario ma non abbandona il sole, non lo tradisce anche se viene tradito dal sole stesso perché di notte scompare dietro un orizzonte impalpabile.
Il sole non ama quando c'è la nebbia, quando c'è foschia, quando piove, ma il girasole sì. È un fiore dalle origini misteriose, legate a tradizioni millenarie, ma soprattutto è il simbolo della bella stagione e dell'estate: sarà per i suoi colori accesi ed estivi, sarà per la sua misteriosa vocazione a seguire sempre il sole, volgendo magicamente la corolla in una posizione di rispetto e venerazione.

My first pictures of a Robust Baskettail! This lovely female was one among a few males at Patuxent Refuge. Things are starting to "heat" up now that the temperature is rising :)
Alcaudón real (Lanius meridionalis)
Es el alcaudón de mayor tamaño presente en la Península. Podría decirse que tiene un pico más propio de rapaz, pero posee patas de pájaro. Es sedentario y frecuente en ambientes abiertos de toda la España mediterránea y en las islas Canarias. Suele observarse posado en cables, postes o partes altas de arbustos, oteando en busca de insectos, pequeños mamíferos y reptiles, a los que en muchos casos empala en arbustos pinchudos o en vallas con alambre de espino.
Clasificación
Orden Passeriformes; familia Laniidae
Longitud 24-25 cm. Envergadura 28-34 cm.
Identificación
Es muy fácil de reconocer. A simple vista destacan la corpulencia y larga cola de esta ave, con un pico robusto de extremo ganchudo y una cabeza muy voluminosa, en la que llama la atención un ancho antifaz negro. Tiene el dorso y la cabeza de color gris plomizo. Las alas son negras, con una distintiva mancha blanca. La cola, también negra, presenta los bordes externos blancuzcos. En cambio, el pecho y el vientre poseen un color blanco-rosado. El alcaudón real se parece mucho a los alcaudones chico y norteño. Pese a ello, los adultos de alcaudón real son más grandes que los de alcaudón chico y carecen de la amplia banda negra que cubre la frente de esta última especie. Asimismo, los jóvenes de alcaudón real tienen una librea barreada en el pecho que los diferencia de los juveniles de alcaudón chico. Por otra parte, la pechuga rosada del alcaudón real permite distinguirlo del alcaudón norteño, cuyo pecho y vientre son enteramente blancos. Además, este último luce un manto gris más claro y posee dos manchas blancas en las alas.
Canto
Emite notas muy diversas, metálicas, sonoras y bastante potentes. Además reproduce trinos y gorjeos de fringílidos y aláudidos.
A robust and agile hunter with excellent eyesight. Despite its age, the Wolf Spider is still counted amongst the deadlier Plague Mechs due to its camouflage and overall ferocity.
Reuploaded, apparently it wasn't showing up for people.

Zebra are often found in herds of wildebeest but, as can be seen in the background, apparently pay no attention to the wildebeest skirmishes.
===============
From Wikipedia: The blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), also called the common wildebeest, white-bearded wildebeest, white-bearded gnu or brindled gnu, is a large antelope and one of the two species of wildebeest. It is placed in the genus Connochaetes and family Bovidae, and has a close taxonomic relationship with the black wildebeest. The blue wildebeest is known to have five subspecies. This broad-shouldered antelope has a muscular, front-heavy appearance, with a distinctive, robust muzzle. Young blue wildebeest are born tawny brown, and begin to take on their adult coloration at the age of 2 months. The adults' hues range from a deep slate or bluish-gray to light gray or even grayish-brown. Both sexes possess a pair of large curved horns.
The blue wildebeest is a herbivore, feeding primarily on short grasses. It forms herds which move about in loose aggregations, the animals being fast runners and extremely wary. The mating season begins at the end of the rainy season and a single calf is usually born after a gestational period of about 8.5 months. The calf remains with its mother for 8 months, after which it joins a juvenile herd. Oddly, rare blue wildebeat can have a glow or luminescent coat during the change of seasons between fall and winter. Blue wildebeest are found in short-grass plains bordering bush-covered acacia savannas in southern and eastern Africa, thriving in areas that are neither too wet nor too arid. Three African populations of blue wildebeest take part in a long-distance migration, timed to coincide with the annual pattern of rainfall and grass growth on the short-grass plains where they can find the nutrient-rich forage necessary for lactation and calf growth.
The blue wildebeest is native to Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Today, it is extinct in Malawi, but has been successfully reintroduced in Namibia. The southern limit of the blue wildebeest range is the Orange River, while the western limit is bounded by Lake Victoria and Mount Kenya. The blue wildebeest is widespread and is being introduced into private game farms, reserves, and conservancies. So, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources rates the blue wildebeest as being of least concern. The population has been estimated to be around 1.5 million, and the population trend is stable.
Fossil records suggest these two species diverged about one million years ago, resulting in a northern and a southern species. The blue wildebeest remained in its original range and changed very little from the ancestral species, while the black wildebeest changed more as adaptation to its open grassland habitat in the south. The most obvious ways of telling the two species apart are the differences in their colouring and in the way their horns are oriented.
In East Africa, the blue wildebeest is the most abundant big-game species; some populations perform an annual migration to new grazing grounds, but the black wildebeest is merely nomadic. Breeding in both takes place over a short period of time at the end of the rainy season and the calves are soon active and are able to move with the herd, a fact necessary for their survival. Nevertheless, some fall prey to large carnivores, especially the spotted hyena.
Wildebeest often graze in mixed herds with zebra, which gives heightened awareness of potential predators. They are also alert to the warning signals emitted by other animals such as baboons. Wildebeest are a tourist attraction but compete with domesticated livestock for pasture and are sometimes blamed by farmers for transferring diseases and parasites to their cattle. Illegal hunting does take place but the population trend is fairly stable and, with some in national parks or on private land. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists both kinds of wildebeest as least-concern species.
Predators:
Major predators that feed on wildebeest include the lion, hyena, African wild dog, cheetah, leopard, and crocodile, which seem to favour the wildebeest over other prey. Wildebeest, however, are very strong, and can inflict considerable injury even to a lion. Wildebeest have a maximum running speed of around 80 km/h (50 mph). The primary defensive tactic is herding, where the young animals are protected by the older, larger ones, while the herd runs as a group. Typically, the predators attempt to isolate a young or ill animal and attack without having to worry about the herd. Wildebeest have developed additional sophisticated cooperative behaviours, such as animals taking turns sleeping while others stand guard against a night attack by invading predators. Wildebeest migrations are closely followed by vultures, as wildebeest carcasses are an important source of food for these scavengers. The vultures consume about 70% of the wildebeest carcasses available. Decreases in the number of migrating wildebeest have also had a negative effect on the vultures. In the Serengeti ecosystem, Tanzania, wildebeest may help facilitate the migration of other, smaller-bodied grazers, such as Thomson's gazelles (Eudorcas thomsonii), which eat the new-growth grasses stimulated by wildebeest foraging.
