Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. The genus name Platalea derives from Ancient Greek and means "broad", referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. Six species are recognised, which although usually placed in a single genus have sometimes been split into three genera.
All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill—an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish—it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day.
The genus Platalea was introduced in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. The genus name is Latin for "spoonbill" and is derived from the Ancient Greek platea meaning "broad", referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. The type species was designated as the Eurasian spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) by George Robert Gray in 1840
Die wissenschaftliche Erstbeschreibung des Rotfuchses stammt aus der zehnten Auflage der Systema Naturae von Carl von Linné aus dem Jahr 1758.
Der Rotfuchs gehört zur Gattung Vulpes. In einer aktuellen Systematik der Hunde, die auf molekulargenetischen Untersuchungen gründete, wurde die Gattung Vulpes als Schwestertaxon dem Marderhund (Nyctereutes procyonoides) gegenübergestellt. Verglichen wurden dabei 15 Kilobasen an Exon- und Intron-Sequenzen.[85] Als Schwesterart dieser beiden Gattungen wurde der Löffelhund (Otocyon megalotis) identifiziert.[85]Gemeinsam wurden diese drei Gattungen als Rotfuchs-Klade zusammengefasst. Diese entspricht Teilen der ursprünglich als Echte Füchse (Vulpini) zusammengefassten Gruppe, bei der jedoch der Marderhund nicht enthalten war und die zusätzlich die Graufüchse (Urocyon) enthielt, die nun als basale Schwestergruppe aller Hunde betrachtet werden.[85]
Zur Gliederung der Gattung Vulpes siehe die Grafik rechts. Neben der Nominatform Vulpes vulpes vulpeswerden zahlreiche weitere Unterarten unterschieden:[86]
The killdeer is a large plover found in the Americas. It gets its name from its shrill, two-syllable call, which is often heard. It was described and given its current scientific name in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae. Three subspecies are described. Wikipedia
Why do they call them killdeer?
Killdeer Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Killdeer get their name from the shrill, wailing kill-deer call they give so often. Eighteenth-century naturalists also noticed how noisy Killdeer are, giving them names such as the Chattering Plover and the Noisy Plover. Gravel rooftops attract Killdeer for nesting, but can be dangerous places to raise a brood.

Graugans (Anser anser) - grey gose
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graugans
Die Graugans (Anser anser) ist eine Art der Gattung Feldgänse (Anser) in der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Graugänse zählen zu den häufigsten Wasservögeln und sind, nach der Kanadagans, die zweitgrößte Gänseart in Europa. Sie sind die wilden Vorfahren der domestizierten Hausgänse. Mitteleuropa gilt als die Region, in der diese Gans domestiziert wurde.[1] Auf die verwandten Schwanengänse (Anser cygnoides) gehen die domestizierten asiatischen Höckergänse zurück. Die Graugans wurde von Carl von Linné 1758 in seinem Werk Systema naturae beschrieben.
Aussehen und Ruf
Die Graugans ist heller als die anderen grauen Gänse. Der Hals wirkt relativ dick und durch die streifige Anordnung der Federn leicht längsgestreift. Die Vorderflügel sind auffällig hell und der Bauch hat mehr oder minder stark ausgeprägte schwarze Flecken. Der Schnabel ist relativ groß und klobig. Sie erreicht eine Länge von 75 bis 90 cm, eine Flügelspannweite von 147 bis 180 cm und ein Gewicht von 2 bis 4 kg. Ganter sind dabei schwerer als Weibchen und wiegen in der Regel zwischen 3 und 4 Kilogramm. Die leichteren Weibchen dagegen kommen auf 2 bis 3,5 Kilogramm.[2]
Frisch geschlüpfte Gänsejungen sind an der Oberseite olivbraun. Dies ändert sich später zu einem graubraunen Farbton. Die Bauchseite ist von einem dunklen Rahmweiß. Der Kopf, der Hals und die Körperseiten sind grünlich gelb. Das Jugendkleid ist verglichen mit adulten Vögeln etwas brauner. Der Bauch ist noch ohne schwarze Fleckungen. Der Schnabel ist zunächst grau und färbt später gelblich um. Die Füße sind olivgrau. Im ersten Jahreskleid gleichen die Jungvögel weitgehend den Altvögeln. Sie haben nur wenige oder gar keine schwarzen Bauchfedern.
Graugänse können bis zu 17 Jahre alt werden. Bekanntester Laut ist das auch von Hausgänsen bekannte „ga-ga-ga“, jedoch verfügt die sehr rufaktive Graugans über mehr als ein Dutzend verschiedener Lautäußerungen. Dabei gibt es individuelle Unterschiede. Einige Graugänse rufen immer in einer sehr hohen Kopfstimme, während andere eher geräuschhaft knarrende Laute von sich geben.[3] Sie haben jedoch auch laut trompetende Rufe im Repertoire. Gelegentlich kommt es zu einem duettartigen Rufen zwischen zwei Individuen, wobei die Gänse dabei jeweils im Wechsel rufen.

The red admirali is a well-characterized, medium-sized butterfly with black wings, red bands, and white spots. It has a wingspan of about 2 inches (5 cm). It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. The red admiral is widely distributed across temperate regions of North Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. It resides in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring and sometimes again in autumn. Typically found in moist woodlands, the red admiral caterpillar's primary host plant is the stinging nettle; it can also be found on the false nettle. The adult butterfly drinks from flowering plants like Buddleia and overripe fruit. Red admirals are territorial; females will only mate with males that hold territory. Males with superior flight abilities are more likely to successfully court females. It is known as an unusually calm butterfly, often allowing observation at a very close distance before flying away, also landing on and using humans as perches. (Wikipedia)

A very patient butterfly indeed! It waited as I backed down the trail until I could focus the 800mm lens on this tiny spot on a tree. I haven't seen many butterflies this year, so it was nice to get this shot :-)

Heliconius melpomene, the postman butterfly, common postman or simply postman, is a brightly colored butterfly found throughout Central and South America. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Its coloration coevolved with a sister species H. erato as a warning to predators of its inedibility; this is an example of Müllerian mimicry. H. melpomene was one of the first butterfly species observed to forage for pollen, a behavior that is common in other groups but rare in butterflies

Dohle (Corvus monedula)
Die Dohle (Corvus monedula) ist eine Singvogelart aus der Familie der Rabenvögel (Corvidae). Sie ist eine von zwei Arten der Untergattung der Dohlen (Corvus subgen. Coloeus). Im Vergleich zu den eng verwandten Arten der Raben und Krähen (Corvus) ist sie ein eher kleiner Vertreter der Rabenvögel. Sie zeichnet sich durch schwarz-graues Gefieder, einen stämmigen Schnabel und hellblaue Augen aus. Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Dohle reicht vom nordafrikanischen Atlasgebirge über Europa bis zum Baikalsee. Sie bevorzugt offene Lebensräume mit Baumbestand, Felsen oder alten Gebäuden als Habitat. Die Nahrung der Dohle besteht überwiegend aus Samen und Insekten, bei Gelegenheit frisst sie aber auch Aas oder menschlichen Abfall. Dohlen leben meist in größeren Gruppen und bilden lebenslange monogame Paare. Ihre Nester bauen sie in Löchern und Nischen aller Art, etwa in Spechthöhlen oder Gebäudenischen. Das Weibchen brütet vier bis sechs Eier aus, die Nestlinge werden anschließend von beiden Eltern gefüttert.
Erstbeschrieben wurde die Dohle 1758 in Linnés Systema Naturae. Sie wird in vier Unterarten eingeteilt und ist die Schwesterart der ostasiatischen Elsterdohle (Corvus dauuricus). Die Dohle gilt weltweit als ungefährdet, der Bestand bewegt sich wahrscheinlich im zweistelligen Millionenbereich. In einigen Regionen Europas geht er aber vor allem aufgrund Nistplatzmangels zurück.
Western jackdaw (Corvus monedula)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_jackdaw
he western jackdaw (Coloeus monedula), also known as the Eurasian jackdaw, the European jackdaw, or simply the jackdaw, is a passerine bird in the crow family. Found across Europe, western Asia and North Africa; it is mostly resident, although northern and eastern populations migrate south in the winter. Four subspecies are recognised, which differ mainly in the colouration of the plumage on the head and nape. Linnaeus first described it formally, giving it the name Corvus monedula. The common name derives from the word jack, denoting "small", and daw, a less common synonym for "jackdaw", and the native English name for the bird.
Measuring 34–39 centimetres (13–15 in) in length, the western jackdaw is a black-plumaged bird with a grey nape and distinctive pale-grey irises. It is gregarious and vocal, living in small groups with a complex social structure in farmland, open woodland, on coastal cliffs, and in urban settings. Like its relatives, jackdaws are intelligent birds, and have been observed using tools. An omnivorous and opportunistic feeder, it eats a wide variety of plant material and invertebrates, as well as food waste from urban areas. Western jackdaws are monogamous and build simple nests of sticks in cavities in trees, cliffs, or buildings. About five pale blue or blue-green eggs with brown speckles are laid and incubated by the female. The young fledge in four to five weeks.

Schwarzstorch (Ciconia nigra)
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzstorch
Der Schwarzstorch (Ciconia nigra) ist neben dem Weißstorch (Ciconia ciconia) die einzige in Europa brütende Art aus der Vogelfamilie der Störche (Ciconiidae).
Im Gegensatz zum Weißstorch ist der Schwarzstorch ein scheuer Bewohner alter, geschlossener Wälder, die Still- und Fließgewässer aufweisen. Trotz des sehr großen Verbreitungsgebietes werden keine Unterarten unterschieden.
Black stork (Ciconia nigra)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_stork
The black stork (Ciconia nigra) is a large bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae. Measuring on average 95 to 100 cm (37 to 39 in) from beak tip to end of tail with a 145-to-155 cm (57-to-61 in) wingspan, the adult black stork has mainly black plumage, with white underparts, long red legs and a long pointed red beak. A widespread but uncommon species, it breeds in scattered locations across Europe (predominantly in Portugal and Spain, and central and eastern parts), and east across the Palearctic to the Pacific Ocean. It is a long-distance migrant, with European populations wintering in tropical Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asian populations in the Indian subcontinent. When migrating between Europe and Africa, it avoids crossing the Mediterranean Sea and detours via the Levant in the east or the Strait of Gibraltar in the west. An isolated, non-migratory, population occurs in Southern Africa.
Unlike the closely related white stork, the black stork is a shy and wary species. It is seen singly or in pairs, usually in marshy areas, rivers or inland waters. It feeds on amphibians, small fish and insects, generally wading slowly in shallow water stalking its prey. Breeding pairs usually build nests in large forest trees—most commonly deciduous but also coniferous—which can be seen from long distances, as well as on large boulders, or under overhanging ledges in mountainous areas. The female lays two to five greyish-white eggs, which become soiled over time in the nest. Incubation takes 32 to 38 days, with both sexes sharing duties, and fledging takes 60 to 71 days.
The black stork is considered to be a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but its actual status is uncertain. Despite its large range, it is nowhere abundant, and it appears to be declining in parts of its range, such as in India, China and parts of Western Europe, though increasing in others such as the Iberian Peninsula. Various conservation measures have been taken for the black stork, like the Conservation Action Plan for African black storks by Wetlands International. It is also protected under the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
The bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) is a small sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes. This species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae as Anas albeola.
The genus name is derived from ancient Greek boukephalos, "bullheaded", from bous, "bull " and kephale, "head", a reference to the oddly bulbous head shape of the species. The species name albeola is from Latin albus, "white". The English name is a combination of buffalo and head, again referring to the head shape. This is most noticeable when the male puffs out the feathers on the head, thus greatly increasing the apparent size of the head.
Description
The bufflehead ranges from 32–40 cm (13–16 in) long and weighs 270–550 g (9.5–19.4 oz), with the drakes larger than the females. Averaging 35.5 cm (14.0 in) and 370 g (13 oz), it rivals the green-winged teal as the smallest American duck. The bufflehead has a wingspan of 21.6 in (55 cm).
Adult males are striking black and white, with iridescent green and purple heads and a large white patch behind the eye. Females are grey-toned with a smaller white patch behind the eye and a light underside

The Eurasian Jay was one of the many species originally described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. He recognised its affinity with other corvids, naming it Corvus glandarius.The current scientific name is from Latin; garrulus means noisy or chattering, and glandarius is "of acorns", a favoured food.The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently. Its usual call is the alarm call which is a harsh, rasping screech and is used upon sighting various predatory animals, but the jay is well known for its mimicry, often sounding so like a different species that it is virtually impossible to distinguish its true identity unless the jay is seen. So, a talkative prince!
Papallona reinaDistribució
La seva distribució geogràfica és molt àmplia i inclou tota la zona temperada d'Europa, Àsia i l'Amèrica del Nord. Té 37 subespècies.
Morfologia i costums
És una de les papallones més espectaculars dels Països Catalans. La papallona reina té franges de colors vius, groc i negre, que fan que també sigui coneguda com a "papallona tigre". Duu també unes taques nebuloses blaves als marges de les ales inferiors i dues taques roges al costat de les "cues". Aquestes prolongacions de les ales són característiques de les papilionidae.
Aquesta papallona és de vol ràpid i es passa el dia anant de camp a camp i de flor en flor. Li agrada xuclar les flors de l'anís i del fonoll, sobre les quals de vegades se la veu amb les ales esteses, reposant al sol. Viu en tres generacions de la primavera a la tardor. És una papallona molt comuna a l'estiu i es troba sovint als jardins.
Les erugues mengen, preferentment, les fulles de les apiàcies, com la pastanaga borda, la pastanaga, l'anet, el fonoll, la xirivia i el comí de prat. També s'alimenten de ruda, una planta de la família de les rutàcies. Tenen un òrgan conegut com a osmeteri, que pot emetre un líquid pudent per espantar els enemics.
Les crisàlides de la papallona reina es fixen a les branques i al tronc dels arbres i els matolls per l'extrem de l'abdomen.
Papilio machaonPapilio machaon, the Old World swallowtail, is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The butterfly is also known as the common yellow swallowtail or simply the swallowtail (a common name applied to all members of the family, but this species was the first to be given the name). It is the type species of the genus Papilio. This widespread species is found in much of the Palearctic (it is the only swallowtail in most of Europe) and in North AmericEtymology
Named for Machaon (ancient Greek: Μαχάων) a figure in Greek mythology. He was a son of Asclepius.
Taxonomy
Papilio machaon was named by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758, alongside nearly 200 other species of butterfly. Later, Pierre André Latreille designated it as the type species of the genus Papilio.[1] Papilio appalachiensis and Papilio xuthus are also of the same genus. The specific epithet machaon refers to Machaon, son of Asclepius in the works of Homer.[2]Description
The imago typically has yellow wings with black vein markings, and a wingspan of 65–86 millimetres (2.6–3.4 in).[6] The hindwings of both sexes have a pair of protruding tails which give the butterfly its common name from the resemblance to the birds of the same name. Just below each tail is one red and six blue eye spots.[7]
In the caterpillar stage, P. machaon has a length of 45 millimetres (1.8 in). When young, the caterpillar resembles a bird dropping, giving it camouflage. The caterpillar also protects itself using a large orange fork which protrudes behind its head.[7]
It can be distinguished from Papilio hospiton, which occurs sympatrically with it on Corsica and Sardinia, by the longer "tails" on the hindwings.[8] It can be told apart from the Algerian species Papilio saharae only by counting the segments on the antennae.[8]Viquipedia dixit

The cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) is a brightly coloured arctiid moth found as a native species in Europe and western and central Asia. It has been introduced into New Zealand, Australia and North America to control ragwort, on which its larvae feed. The moth is named after the red mineral cinnabar because of the red patches on its predominantly black wings. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Cinnabar moths are about 20 mm (0.79 in) long and have a wingspan of 32–42 mm (1.3–1.7 in).
The great crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus) is a member of the grebe family of water birds noted for its elaborate mating display.
The great crested grebe was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Colymbus cristatus. The great crested grebe is now the type species of the genus Podiceps that was erected by the English naturalist John Latham in 1787. The type locality is Sweden. The scientific name comes from Latin: the genus name Podiceps is from podicis, "vent" and pes, "foot", and is a reference to the placement of a grebe's legs towards the rear of its body; the species name, cristatus, means "crested".
The Zebra heliconian, is a species of butterfly belonging to the subfamily Heliconiinae of the family Nymphalidae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1767 12th edition of Systema Naturae.

The bearded reedling was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758. He placed it in the genus Parus with the tits. The species has since been placed with the parrotbills in the family Paradoxornithidae, after they were removed from the true tits in the family. More recent research suggests it is a unique songbird – no other living species seems to be particularly closely related to it.[2] The species is now placed in the monotypic family Panuridae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the bearded reedling is most closely related to the lark family Alaudidae.[3] The current genus name, Panurus, is from Ancient Greek panu, "exceedingly", and ουρά, "tail". The specific biarmicus is from "Biarmia", a Latinised form of Bjarmaland, formerly part of what is now the Arkhangelsk Oblast area of Russia.

HET WILD ZWIJN (Sus scrofa), everzwijn of kortweg ever, ook zwart wild of borstelwild genoemd, is een zoogdier uit de familie van de varkens (Suidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd in 1758 gepubliceerd door Carl Linnaeus in de tiende editie van Systema naturae.
Het wild zwijn komt voor in grote delen van Europa, Azië en Noord-Afrika. Het heeft het grootste verspreidingsgebied van de Euraziatische varkens. Het is de wilde voorouder van het gedomesticeerde varken. Tien procent van de wilde zwijnen in het noordwesten van Europa hebben genen van tamme varkens. De bewuste genen zouden ze hebben gekregen in het begin van de 21e eeuw, waarschijnlijk na kruising met gefokte wilde zwijnen, die op hun beurt vaak met tamme varkens werden gekruist.
Het wild zwijn heeft naast een dikke ondervacht een donkere, borstelachtige vacht die 's winters langer en donkerder is dan in de zomer. In het voorjaar vallen de winterharen uit. Dan krijgen ze een kortere en lichtere vacht. Wilde zwijnen hebben een gedrongen romp en stevig lijf. De achterpoten zijn korter dan de voorpoten. Wilde zwijnen hebben een langwerpige kop met een afgeplatte, sterke snuit.
De neus eindigt in een wroetschijf. Hun oren zijn breed, rechtopstaand en behaard. Het wild zwijn heeft kleine ogen. Het zichtvermogen van het wild zwijn is relatief slecht; zo kunnen ze een mens niet herkennen als deze zich niet beweegt. Daarentegen is hun reuk- en tastzin zeer goed ontwikkeld, wilde zwijnen hebben ook een zeer fijn gehoor.
Volwassen dieren hebben een staart die eindigt in een pluim. Volwassen mannetjes worden keilers of beren genoemd. De vrouwtjes worden zeugen genoemd.
De beren hebben twee slagtanden, die door jagers "houwers" worden genoemd. Deze twee slagtanden, hoektanden in de onderkaak, staan naar boven gericht. Ook de bovenste hoektanden zijn sterk ontwikkeld en wijzen eveneens omhoog. Hoe ouder een mannetje is, des te verder steken deze hoektanden naar boven uit. Over de borstkas heeft het mannetje een vier centimeter dikke laag kraakbeen. Deze laag dient ter bescherming van de longen en het hart tijdens gevechten.
De biggen (ook wel frislingen genoemd) hebben aanvankelijk een zwartbruine vacht met goudgeelachtige strepen. Deze strepen, ook wel zwijnenpyjama geheten, lopen van voor naar achter over de rug. De strepen van de biggen dienen ter camouflage en verdwijnen na drie tot vijf maanden na hun geboorte.

The collared aracari was described by the Spanish naturalist Francisco Hernández (1514-1587) in his work Rerum medicarum Novae Hispaniae thesaurus, seu, Plantarum animalium mineralium Mexicanorum historia which was published posthumously in 1651. In his Latin text Hernández used the name De Cochitenacatl, the word for the bird in the local Nahuatl language. Later ornithologists based their own descriptions on that by Hernández. These included Mathurin Brisson in 1760, the Comte de Buffon in 1780, and John Latham in 1782.
When the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin revised and expanded Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae in 1788 he included the collared aracari and cited the descriptions by earlier ornithologists. He placed it with the toucans in the genus Ramphastos and coined the binomial name Ramphastos torquatus. The specific epithet is a Latin word meaning "collared". When John Gould published a hand-coloured illustration of the collared aracari in 1854 he commented: "We find in the writings of the older authors — Gmelin, Latham, and others — a species of this family called Ramphastos torquatus, which may have been intended to indicate the present bird, but their descriptions and measurements are somewhat inapplicable; at the same time it is the only species yet discovered having a distinct reddish collar at the back of the neck, and there is no other bird which agrees so well with their obscure descriptions". The type location has been restricted to the state of Veracruz in southeast Mexico. The collared aracari is now one of 14 species placed in the genus Pteroglossus that was introduced in 1811 by Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger.
The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) recognize three subspecies:
P. t. torquatus - (Gmelin, 1788)
P. t. erythrozonus - Ridgway, 1912
P. t. nuchalis - Cabanis, 1862 (originally described as a separate species.
A curious little bird... According to the Wise folk of Wiki: The bearded reedling was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758. He placed it in the genus Parus with the tits. The species has since been placed with the parrotbills in the family Paradoxornithidae, after they were removed from the true tits in the family. More recent research suggests it is a unique songbird – no other living species seems to be particularly closely related to it. The species is now placed in the monotypic family Panuridae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the bearded reedling is most closely related to the lark family... Who would have thought. :@)

Well there are many ships on Bookham Common so the Red Admiral has some time off here to soak up a bit of sun while it is out .
Vanessa atalanta, the red admiral or, previously, the red admirable, is a well-characterized, medium-sized butterfly with black wings, red bands, and white spots. It has a wingspan of about 2 inches (5 cm). It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. The red admiral is widely distributed across temperate regions of North Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. It resides in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring and sometimes again in autumn. Typically found in moist woodlands, the red admiral caterpillar's primary host plant is the stinging nettle (Urtica dioica); it can also be found on the false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica).[6] The adult butterfly drinks from flowering plants like Buddleia and overripe fruit. Red admirals are territorial; females will only mate with males that hold territory. Males with superior flight abilities are more likely to successfully court females. It is known as an unusually calm butterfly, often allowing observation at a very close distance before flying away, also landing on and using humans as perches.
The Greylag Goose is a species of the genus Field Goose in the duck family. Greylag geese are among the most common waterfowl and, after the Canada goose, the second largest goose species in Europe. They are the wild ancestors of the domesticated domestic geese. Central Europe is considered the region where this goose was domesticated. The domesticated Asian mute geese go back to the related swan geese. The greylag goose was described by Carl von Linné in 1758 in his work Systema naturae.

Papilio machaon, the Old World swallowtail, is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The butterfly is also known as the common yellow swallowtail or simply the swallowtail (a common name applied to all members of the family, but this species was the first to be given the name). It is the type species of the genus Papilio. This widespread species is found in much of the Palearctic (it is the only swallowtail in most of Europe) and in North America.Etymology
This species is named after Machaon (Ancient Greek: Μαχάων, romanized: Makháōn) a figure in Greek mythology. He was a son of Asclepius.
Taxonomy
Papilio machaon was named by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae in 1758, alongside nearly 200 other species of butterfly. Later, Pierre André Latreille designated it as the type species of the genus Papilio.[1] The specific epithet machaon refers to Machaon, son of Asclepius in the works of Homer.[2]Papilio machaon gorganus is strongly migratory in Europe and may be found in almost all habitats. In the UK, P. m. britannicus is an endemic subspecies, but occasionally individuals of the continental subspecies P. m. gorganus breed temporarily on the south coast. Subspecies P. m. britannicus differs from the continental subspecies in being more heavily marked in black. The Maltese Islands are home to another endemic subspecies, P. m. melitensis.Distribució

És una de les papallones més espectaculars dels Països Catalans. La papallona reina té franges de colors vius, groc i negre, que fan que també sigui coneguda com a "papallona tigre". Duu també unes taques nebuloses blaves als marges de les ales inferiors i dues taques roges al costat de les "cues". Aquestes prolongacions de les ales són característiques de les papilionidae.
Aquesta papallona és de vol ràpid i es passa el dia anant de camp a camp i de flor en flor. Li agrada xuclar les flors de l'anís i del fonoll, sobre les quals de vegades se la veu amb les ales esteses, reposant al sol. Viu en tres generacions de la primavera a la tardor. És una papallona molt comuna a l'estiu i es troba sovint als jardins.
Les erugues mengen, preferentment, les fulles de les apiàcies, com la pastanaga borda, la pastanaga, l'anet, el fonoll, la xirivia i el comí de prat. També s'alimenten de ruda, una planta de la família de les rutàcies. Tenen un òrgan conegut com a osmeteri, que pot emetre un líquid pudent per espantar els enemics.

Common Redpoll
The Common Redpoll or Mealy Redpoll (Acanthis flammea) is a species of bird in the finch family. It breeds somewhat further south than the Arctic redpoll, also in habitats with thickets or shrubs.
The Common Redpoll was listed in 1758 by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Fringilla flammea. The current genus name Acanthis is from the Ancient Greek akanthis, a name for a small now-unidentifiable bird, and flammea is the Latin for "flame-coloured".

The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is renowned for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its wings have white patches which are visible in flight.
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land. The northern mockingbird breeds in southeastern Canada, the United States, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Greater Antilles. It is replaced further south by its closest living relative, the tropical mockingbird. The Socorro mockingbird, an endangered species, is also closely related, contrary to previous opinion. The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence and has also been noted in North American culture. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. Finally, the mockingbird has influenced United States culture in multiple ways. The bird is a State bird of 5 states, has been used in book titles, and has also been used in popular songs and lullabies among other appearances in U.S. culture.

The bufflehead is a small sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes. This species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae as Anas albeola.
The genus name is derived from ancient Greek boukephalos, "bullheaded", from bous, "bull " and kephale, "head", a reference to the oddly bulbous head shape of the species.
The Cinnabar Moth is so brightly colored, I was reminded of royalty. As Wikipedia states: "The cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) is a brightly coloured arctiid moth found as a native species in Europe and western and central Asia. It has been introduced into New Zealand, Australia and North America to control ragwort, on which its larvae feed. The moth is named after the red mineral, cinnabar, because of the red patches on its predominantly black wings. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Cinnabar moths are about 20 mm (0.79 in) long and have a wingspan of 32–42 mm (1.3–1.7 in)." The Cinnabar moth caterpillar can be seen in the previous image.
Die Graugans (Anser anser) ist eine Art der Gattung Feldgänse (Anser) in der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Graugänse zählen zu den häufigsten Wasservögeln und sind, nach der Kanadagans, die zweitgrößte Gänseart in Europa. Sie sind die wilden Vorfahren der domestizierten Hausgänse. Mitteleuropa gilt als die Region, in der diese Gans domestiziert wurde.[1] Auf die verwandten Schwanengänse (Anser cygnoides) gehen die domestizierten asiatischen Höckergänse zurück. Die Graugans wurde von Carl von Linné 1758 in seinem Werk Systema naturae beschrieben.

Heliconius melpomene, the postman butterfly, common postman or simply postman, is a brightly colored butterfly found throughout Central and South America. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Its coloration coevolved with a sister species H. erato as a warning to predators of its inedibility; this is an example of Müllerian mimicry. H. melpomene was one of the first butterfly species observed to forage for pollen, a behavior that is common in other groups but rare in butterflies. Because of the recent rapid evolutionary radiation of the genus Heliconius and overlapping of its habitat with other related species, H. melpomene has been the subject of extensive study on speciation and hybridization. These hybrids tend to have low fitness as they look different from the original species and no longer exhibit Müllerian mimicry.
Heliconius melpomene possesses ultraviolet vision which enhances its ability to distinguish subtle differences between markings on the wings of other butterflies. This allows the butterfly to avoid mating with other species that share the same geographic range.

The black-crowned tanager or black-crowned palm-tanager (Phaenicophilus palmarum) is a species of bird formerly placed in the family Phaenicophilidae
. It is found in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the black-crowned tanager. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Turdus palmarum and cited Brisson's work. The specific name palmarum is the Latin for "of palm trees". The species is now placed in the genus Phaenicophilus that was introduced by the English geologist and naturalist Hugh Edwin Strickland in 1851

The Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) is the most widespread species of the genus Upupa. It is a distinctive cinnamon coloured bird with black and white wings, a tall erectile crest, a broad white band across a black tail, and a long narrow downcurved bill. Its call is a soft "oop-oop-oop". It is native to Europe, Asia and the northern half of Africa. It is migratory in the northern part of its range. It spends most of the time on the ground probing for grubs and insects. The clutch of seven to eight eggs is laid in an existing cavity. The eggs are incubated by the female and hatch asynchronously. Some ornithologists treat the African and Madagascar hoopoes as subspecies of the Eurasian hoopoe.
The Eurasian hoopoe was formally described in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. He cited the earlier descriptions by the French naturalist Pierre Belon and by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner, both of which had been published in 1555. Linnaeus placed the Eurasian hoopoe with the northern bald ibis and the red-billed chough in the genus Upupa and coined the binomial name Upupa epops. The specific epithet epops in the Ancient Greek word for a hoopoe.
The common starling was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1758 under its current binomial name. Sturnus and vulgaris are derived from the Latin for "starling" and "common" respectively. The Old English staer, later stare, and the Latin sturnus are both derived from an unknown Indo-European root dating back to the second millennium BC. "Starling" was first recorded in the 11th century, when it referred to the juvenile of the species, but by the 16th century it had already largely supplanted "stare" to refer to birds of all ages. The older name is referenced in William Butler Yeats' poem "The Stare's Nest by My Window". The International Ornithological Congress' preferred English vernacular name is common starling.
The cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) is a brightly coloured arctiid moth found as a native species in Europe and western and central Asia. It has been introduced into New Zealand, Australia and North America to control ragwort, on which its larvae feed. The moth is named after the red mineral cinnabar because of the red patches on its predominantly black wings. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Cinnabar moths are about 20 mm (0.79 in) long and have a wingspan of 32–42 mm (1.3–1.7 in).

Males with superior flight abilities are more likely to successfully court females. It is known as an unusually calm butterfly, often allowing observation at a very close distance before flying away, also landing on and using humans as perches.
The forewing of this butterfly bears on a black ground an oblique vermilion band and a group of white subapical spots. On the hindwing the larger portion of the distal margin is red, with a row of small black spots and at the anal angle an elongate blue spot. The underside is partly variegated with blue; the forewing is on the whole similar in markings to the upper, while the hindwing is brightly variegated and clouded, bearing black markings, of which those in the cell resemble a figure (on the left wing 18 or 98, on the right 81 or 89); in the middle of the costal area there is a pale patch and in the distal marginal area a row of ocellus-like spots. Sometimes, especially in the female, the red band of the forewing bears a small white spot in the middle.

Grey heron
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_heron
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows....
