Kingfisher - Alcedo Atthis
The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) also known as the Eurasian kingfisher, and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.
This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptations to enable it to see prey under water. The glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank.
The female is identical in appearance to the male except that her lower mandible is orange-red with a black tip. The juvenile is similar to the adult, but with duller and greener upperparts and paler underparts. Its bill is black, and the legs are also initially black. Feathers are moulted gradually between July and November with the main flight feathers taking 90–100 days to moult and regrow. Some that moult late may suspend their moult during cold winter weather.
The flight of the kingfisher is fast, direct and usually low over water. The short rounded wings whirr rapidly, and a bird flying away shows an electric-blue "flash" down its back.
The common kingfisher is widely distributed over Europe, Asia, and North Africa, mainly south of 60°N. It is a common breeding species over much of its vast Eurasian range, but in North Africa it is mainly a winter visitor, although it is a scarce breeding resident in coastal Morocco and Tunisia. In temperate regions, this kingfisher inhabits clear, slow-flowing streams and rivers, and lakes with well-vegetated banks. It frequents scrubs and bushes with overhanging branches close to shallow open water in which it hunts. In winter it is more coastal, often feeding in estuaries or harbours and along rocky seashores. Tropical populations are found by slow-flowing rivers, in mangrove creeks and in swamps.
Like all kingfishers, the common kingfisher is highly territorial; since it must eat around 60% of its body weight each day, it is essential to have control of a suitable stretch of river. It is solitary for most of the year, roosting alone in heavy cover. If another kingfisher enters its territory, both birds display from perches, and fights may occur, in which a bird will grab the other's beak and try to hold it under water. Pairs form in the autumn but each bird retains a separate territory, generally at least 1 km (0.62 mi) long, but up to 3.5 km (2.2 mi) and territories are not merged until the spring.
Very few birds live longer than one breeding season. The oldest bird on record was 21 years.
They are also listed as a Schedule 1 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act offering them additional protection.
Population:
UK breeding:
3,800-6,400 pairs
A very busy summer schedule has kept me away from social media for a while, so it feels good to be able to post a new image again.
I came across this place completely by accident while trying to decide on a future international trip, and immediately knew that no matter where this place was located, I just had to photograph here. Now, this beautiful and unusual beach has instantly been added to my favorite places list. This is one of those locations I could easily photograph every day, for at least a month.
I will include all the details about this magical place in my next post.
Northern class 150 unit 150104 (partnered with 150138) departs Blackpool South with the 3.16pm to Colne (2N78).
With a scheduled 4 minute turnaround at this terminus, there's barely time for the driver to walk from one end of the train to the other before setting off again. On this day the turnaround was even tighter seeing as arrival from Colne was 2 minutes late.
Blackpool South, with its single platform and evidence of former glories en route, is very much the Cinderella line into this popular northern seaside town. In fact a significant part of the remaining platform has been abandoned to nature, as seen in this shot. By contrast Blackpool North is vibrant, recently electrified, and boasts fast direct services to London Euston. No surprise It also handles the vast majority of passenger arrivals and departures.
I arrived into this station on a sunny Sunday afternoon and walked the two miles or so along the bracing, enjoyable and ever vibrant promenade before waltzing back inland to North Station for the rather faster ride back to Preston.
A bit of a record shot so I'm not expecting a ten from Len. Sure I spotted Madge though.....

Black tailed Godwit - Limosa Limosa
These large wading birds are a Schedule 1 species. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they're more greyish-brown.
Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak (which helps the sexes to avoid competing for food with each other).
They're very similar to bar-tailed godwits, which breed in the Arctic. Black-tailed godwits have longer legs, and bar-tailed godwits don't have striped wings. As the names suggest, the tail patterns are different, too.
Black-tailed godwits are much more likely to be found on inland wetlands than the more coastal bar-tailed godwit. They migrate in flocks to western Europe, Africa, south Asia and Australia. Although this species occurs in Ireland and Great Britain all year-round, they are not the same birds. The breeding birds depart in autumn, but are replaced in winter by the larger Icelandic race. These birds occasionally appear in the Aleutian Islands and, rarely, on the Atlantic coast of North America.
There is an estimated global population of between 634,000 and 805,000 birds and estimated range of 7,180,000 square kilometres (2,770,000 sq mi). In 2006 BirdLife International classified this species as Near Threatened due to a decline in numbers of around 25% in the previous 15 years. It is also among the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
In Europe, black-tailed godwits are only hunted in France, with the annual total killed estimated at 6,000 to 8,000 birds. This puts additional pressure on the western European population, and the European Commission has a management plan in place for the species in its member states. In England, black-tailed godwits were formerly much prized for the table. Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682) said: "[Godwits] were accounted the daintiest dish in England and I think, for the bignesse, of the biggest price."
Population:
UK breeding:
54-57 pairs of the limosa 'Eurasian' subspecies, and 7-9 pairs of the islandica subspecies
UK wintering:
44,000 birds from the Icelandic population
UK passage:
12,400 birds
Europe:
99-140,000 pairs
Lanercost Priory was founded by Robert de Vaux between 1165 and 1174, the most likely date being 1169, to house Augustinian canons.
This Grade II*-listed stone packhorse bridge over the River Welland at Deeping St James in south Lincolnshire dates from 1651. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Deeping St James is based around a now lost 12th-century Benedictine Priory, destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The stones from the priory were used to build various 17th-century buildings in the area. The village is one mile east of Market Deeping which is also on the River Welland. This rises near Sibbertoft in Northamptonshire. The Welland is one of the main rivers that helps to drain the Fens. It joins the sea near Fosdike in The Wash.
Precision Scheduled Railroading in effect, NS Train 224 with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Heritage Locomotive on the point passes over Dry Creek on the NS Kansas City District-BNSF Brookfield Sub.
This train's Moberly crew was over 9 hours old at this point, and at 13,024 with 3 distinct blocks of traffic to get rid of between Voltz and Kansas City, they'll be close to their hog time before they make the first cut.
The Lackawanna's Phoebe Snow and N&W's Herman H. Pevler are both rolling in their graves.

The name Stanton Drew means homestead by the stones. The largest of the stone circles on this site is second largest known in England, after Avebury. The stones featured are part a smaller irregular stone circle adjacent to the large one. This stone circle has a sub-oval plan with a maximum diameter of 35m. It contains seven large standing stones with dimensions of between 1.5m and 2m high and 0.75m-1.5m thick. All together at this complex there are three stone circles, two stone avenues and a cove. (Historic England)
As soon as spring arrives, the sheep invade the foreshore to come and taste the halophilic plants. The sea flora charged with salt and iodine, combined with the long displacements, gives this so particular taste to the flesh of the lambs, very appreciated by the experts.
Taking the sheep to graze in the foreshore is a local tradition attested since at least the 15th century. Lambing takes place in the sheepfold during the winter, although some farmers schedule births in the spring to avoid supply shortages. For the first two or three months after birth, the lambs are fed mainly on their mother's milk. The animals are taken out in March after the high tides of the equinox and stay in the bay for a minimum of two and a half months, extending into the autumn.
La cascata delle Marmore si trova a pochi km di distanza da Terni: è una cascata a flusso controllato tra le più alte d'Europa, potendo contare su un dislivello complessivo di 165 m, suddiviso in tre salti (il primo, più alto, di 83 m).
Le acque della cascata sono sfruttate intensamente per la produzione di energia elettrica.
Questo fa sì che la cascata vera e propria non sia continuamente funzionante, ma per la maggior parte del tempo si riduca alle dimensioni di un torrente.
Solo in orari e periodi definiti la cascata viene fatta funzionare alla sua massima portata, dando origine ad uno spettacolo suggestivo e grandioso.

The Marmore Fall is located near the town of Terni (in the centre of Italy).
It is one of the tallest falls in Europe with the “controlled flow”: the whole difference of level is 165m, shared in three jumps (the first one is 83m).
The water of the fall is widely used for the production of electrical energy: for this reason the fall itself is not continuously working, so for the most of the time it is only a small river.
Only in scheduled days and hours the fall is being working at the maximum flow, originating in this way an impressive and magnificent sight.

After assisting failed 4L04 at Melton Mowbray and running some 82 minutes behind schedule as a result, Colas Rail Freight 37254 'Cardiff Canton' and 37099 'Merl Evans 1947 - 2016' pass through Waterbeach, top and tailing the 1Q90 1515 Derby R.T.C.(Network Rail) to Ferme Park Recp PLPR2 Network Rail test train.
Another normal scheduled freight train to Kurkimäki has arrived with empty timber wagons and class Dr18 leading the empty train. Now, the diesel is going towards the other end of the train, and it is having a sightseeing while working.
One of the best things about landscape photography actually is the people. Road tripping with friends and loved ones, keeping insane schedules to get where we want to be for sunrise, sunset, aurora and starry night shoots, and talking with other interesting people we encounter for a few minutes while we all share the beauties of nature. But its also kind of amazing when you find yourself seemingly all alone in a place of uncommon beauty, as I did for a little while after sunset one evening on this beautiful black sand along the North Atlantic, under that looming mass of mountainous perfection known as Vestrahorn.
There were other people somewhere around, of course. I expect its impossible to be truly alone at Vestrahorn when fortune brings mild weather to the area during the late winter aurora season. There weren't many people there this evening though, and from where I walked into the night along this remarkable beach--imaging the panoply of stars and aurora that might soon be revealed--I couldn't see another soul in any direction for a short while.
This momentary solitude so sought at times in outings to these beautiful places in nature is a very different thing from our world's current experience necessitating distance from others, and while I have often reveled in moments of solitude, right now I miss the general closeness of people more than anything.
Thanks for viewing.
...Waiting (for a bus?) The sign in Irish, behind the man, is announcing a coming county council housing project...years behind schedule, most likely due to the pandemic.
Both sandhill crane eggs hatched and out popped two precocious, healthy orangey-gold chicks, endearingly known as "colts" almost immediately ready to follow their parents out of the nest on their diligent foraging for worms and insects to feed the colts.
Interesting to note that these photos were taken exactly one year to the day from my images of the 2019 hatchlings. These guys really keep to a tight schedule!
With 258's new schedule, the morning Orrick shot is now constantly available. Getting an eastbound here in morning light used to be a rarity after 120's schedule change several years ago.
The CTC siding here is on its deathbed as the turnout at Curry (east end) has been removed. It's no surprise given it's condition and seldom use. I've only seen MOW equipment parked here. I wonder what that will mean for the west end and the nice signal bridge.

This variety of Cicada (Magicicada) has a 17-year life cycle and is part of brood IV, or the Kansan Brood. The last time they emerged in Nebraska was 1998. They started to emerge from the ground about a week ago as they were delayed by the rainy weather. So happy that we were able to find them in Weeping Water, Nebraska yesterday afternoon.
People call these cicadas “locusts” but they are not true locusts — real locusts look like grasshoppers. The phrase “17 year cicada” indicates that they arrive every 17 years. The name “periodical cicadas” indicates that they arrive periodically and not each and every year. The scientific name for the Genus of these cicadas is Magicicada, and there are 3 types of 17 year Magicicadas: Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassini and Magicicada septendecula. This is a true locust:
There are literally billions of 17- year cicadas. Why? One theory suggests that the large number of cicadas overwhelms predators, so predators are never able to eat them all and many always survive to mate. This is a survival strategy called “predator satiation”.

Morondava (from Malagasy: morona lava "long coast") is a city located in Menabe Region, of which it is the capital, in Madagascar. It is located in the delta of the Morondava Rive. Its population as of the 2018 census, was 53,510.
The predominant tribe is the Sakalava. But there are also a few Betsileo, Tsimihety, Merina, Makoa and Europeans.
Air Madagascar has regular scheduled flights to Morondava Airport. The main road to town has been renovated recently. With the new road established, a trip from Antananarivo to Morondava by taxi-brousse takes approximately 12 hours. Pirogues are consequently a popular mode of transport used to ferry people and goods along the coast, especially to Morombe.
The city is famous amongst other things for the spectacular Avenue of Baobabs nearby. These giant baobab trees are an 800-year-old legacy of the dense tropical forests that once throve here. Over the years, as the country's population grew, the forests were steadily cut down, leaving only the baobab trees, which the locals preserved for religious reasons. Today, deforestation still continues as large areas of this region, including some of few remaining baobabs, are cleared to make way for sugar cane plantations.

Morondava (del malgache: morona lava "costa larga") es una ciudad situada en la región de Menabe, de la que es capital, en Madagascar. Está ubicado en el delta del río Morondava. Su población, según el censo de 2018, era 53.510.
La tribu predominante es la Sakalava. Pero también hay algunos Betsileo, Tsimihety, Merina, Makoa y europeos.
Air Madagascar tiene vuelos regulares al aeropuerto de Morondava. La carretera principal a la ciudad ha sido renovada recientemente. Con la nueva carretera establecida, un viaje de Antananarivo a Morondava en taxi-brousse dura aproximadamente 12 horas. Por lo tanto, las piraguas son un medio de transporte popular que se utiliza para transportar personas y mercancías a lo largo de la costa, especialmente hasta Morombe.
La ciudad es famosa, entre otras cosas, por la espectacular Avenida de los Baobabs que se encuentra cerca. Estos baobabs gigantes son un legado de 800 años de los densos bosques tropicales que alguna vez prosperaron aquí. Con el paso de los años, a medida que la población del país crecía, los bosques fueron talados constantemente, dejando sólo los baobabs, que los lugareños conservaban por motivos religiosos. Hoy en día, la deforestación continúa, ya que grandes áreas de esta región, incluidos algunos de los pocos baobabs que quedan, son talados para dar paso a plantaciones de caña de azúcar.
As the military space vessel, IRC Agatha Christie leaves Stonehenge Spacefort in pursuit of the Frigus Iustitia, that ship is dropping out of tach speed near a distant IRC outpost, Septem Caelum.
Septem Caelum Comm Tech: (his image appears on the forward holoscreen) Frigus Iustitia, welcome to Outpost Septem Caelum.
MSS: (on the bridge, in the command chair) Thank you. This is Major Sky. We are rendezvousing with another ship -- soon.
SCCT: Understood. Which ship are you meeting?
MSS: I don't know, but Captain Jetsam will be aboard.
SCCT: Do you plan to vee over?
MSS: No. We're on a tight schedule.
SCCT: Understood. Let us know if you need anything. (his image is replaced by one of the outpost)
MSS: (leans back in the command chair) Now, we wait.
Aboard the IRC Agatha Christie, Cpt Jetsam is leaning back in the command seat, appearing calm. A low tone from the Pilot's station draws her eyes.
Pilot: Captain Jetsam, that signal you had me scanning for; it just appeared at Outpost Septem Caelum.
CDL: (leans forward in the chair with a small smile) Take us there. Tach five.
CMOLB: (moves to stand by CDL's seat) I hope we make it in time.
Cpt Jetsam says nothing to this vocalized concern she shares, she simply gazes at the holo projection of stars and planets they pass until the screen glows purple as they drop out of tach speed, replaced by an image of the Frigus Iustitia orbiting Outpost Septem Caelum.
QDPN: Assume orbit.
Pilot: Aye, sir.
QDPN: Comm Officer, contact the Frigus Iustitia.
CommO: Aye, sir. IRC Agatha Christie to Frigus Iustitia, please respond.
MSS: (her holo image fills the forward screen) Frigus Iustitia, welcome to Outpost Septem Caelum.
CDJ: Major Sky, you have my ship.
MSS: On the contrary, Captain Jetsam. I have your ship, and I have Major Sky.
CDJ: You have? Who are you?
MSS: First, please allow me to apologize for what has happened, but the circumstances are dire, and there was no time to explain.
CDJ: Oh, then apology accepted. Give me back my friend, and my ship.
MSS: (smiles) Scrummy's told me about your sense of humor.
CDJ: You may call her, Major Sky. Has she told you about my overdeveloped protective instincts?
MSS: She has, which is why the two of you were chosen, actually.
CDJ: Chosen? Look, who the red nova are you?
MSS: My name is, Koe Ghitatio, Tech Mentalist to her Highness Princess Bhonumm Durus of the planet, Vhipernhal.
CDJ: Vhipernhal? (looks around the bridge) Anyone know the name? (the entire bridge crew shakes their heads, no) Never heard of it.
MSS-KG: Our planet lies beyond your current exploration.
CDJ: Why have you attacked Major Sky? Why did you kill Dr. Litefful? And why did you steal my ship?
MSS-KG: You misunderstand, Pips.
CDJ: (raises a hand) No. Oh, no, no no.
MSS-KG: Apologies, Captain. I did not kill Dr. Litefful. I was unable to properly express myself to her. My mentalist tech is experimental. She assumed I was trying to seize control of her mind. She killed herself.
CDJ: It appears she was correct. You HAVE seized control of Major Sky, AND my SHIP.
CMOLB: (quietly, to CDJ) Careful, Captain.
MSS-KG: This merging with Scr--Major Sky was consensual. We took your ship, knowing you would follow. Captain Jetsam, the people of Vhipernhal, all of us, are dying! We desperately need your help!
CDJ: Consensual? Then let me talk to Major Sky.
MSS-KG: I'm sorry, Captain. If I sever the connection, I might not be able to reconnect. I barely managed to communicate with her after Dr. Litefful killed herself.
CDJ: I just call that, convenient.
MSS-KG: Captain, we don't have time for this verbal sparring. The people of my planet are dying. That is why our king took your scientists--
CDJ: (interrupts) YOU kidnapped the scientists?
MSS-KG: No, King Durus did. He's desperate to save our people, but his desperation verges on madness. He will do anything to save us, even risk going to war.
CMOLB: What are your people dying from?
MSS-KG: You are the chief medical officer of this ship. Good, I'm glad you chose to accompany the Captain. We don't know what is killing us, but we do know the source. A great, stellar cloud of unknown properties is slowly engulfing our world. There is nowhere for our people to hide. As our world rotates, all points ultimately come into contact with the phenomenon.
CDJ: How are the scientists supposed to help you with that? They aren't medical scientists.
MSS-KG: Plicare.
CDJ: (tenses, pretty sure this crew didn't know the secret of Plicare) You clearly have ships that can traverse space, if you need to move your people.
MSS-KG: King Durus doesn't want to move ships, Captain. He wants to move the world.

A rare bird, It is a Schedule 1 species, meaning it's illegal to intentionally recklessly disturb them. Only 227 pairs counted in 2019.
Good to go.
This shot didn't quite fit with the rest of the schedule along with all those speedsters last week, but I still took the time to photograph these new figs with new parts on that same build. ...I didn’t really have a plan for these so I’m just gonna drop them here between weeks! :)
I just wanted to get them out there!
Hope that’s okay :P
Stonehenge a Scheduled Ancient prehistoric monument located 2 miles west of Amesbury in Wiltshire.
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthworks. It is in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred burial mounds.
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3,000 BC to 2,000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3,100 BC. Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first bluestones were raised between 2,400 and 2,200 BC. Another theory suggests the bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3,000 BC.
The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage, while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
Archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project in 2008 indicates that Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains indicate that deposits contain human bone from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug. Such deposits continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years.
An elderly couple at the train station trying to decipher the fine print of the arrival schedule. Ostensibly a play on reflection, shots like these also tell a story - here, probably two grandparents about to welcome their children or grandchildren later on :-)
It was a scheduled road run for several clubs of street car enthusiasts otherwise known as hot rodder's.
The plan was to meet at Port Macquarie for a get-together following a two year hiatus due to Covid.
However it was not some mysterious disease that kept them away but rather it was Mother Nature.
For a week prior the mid north coast of New South Wales was deluged with rain, and it rained and it rained.
It resulted in many 'no shows' for the event but it certainly didn't dampen the enthusiasm of those who did attend.
I captured this image of a a highly polished shaker on one of the cars following what was yet another unexpected downpour but I feel that it only added to the image.
Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia.
In what is believed to be the last scheduled public working of Class 43 locos 43007 & 43008, the pair head down the line at Backwell in North Somerset on the early afternoon of Tuesday 05 September 2023. This train was 1V50, the Edinburgh (0606hrs) to Plymouth service, operated by Cross Country Trains. Undoubtedly the most photographed train of the day.
For an alternative angle on railway photography, why not take a look at the Phoenix website:

Last night was the annual Million Mask March through central London. After the troubles last year, such as the burning of a police car there were a lot more police on the streets, and they were much more assertive in dealing with protesters.
The red lines on this guy are focus beams from a TV camera outside the van. I couldn't help thinking it looked like the Terminator had tracked him down!
