Looking to see some new and exciting birds this year?
I have information for two tours this year to Ecuador and Costa Rica. If you have yet to visit one of these beautiful places, or you are looking to go again, these tours will definitely make your year!
MESSAGE ME IF INTERESTED AND FOR MORE INFO :D
This is just one of the striking species you can expect to see on the Ecuador tour.

I had the honour of doing a MOC deep dive for New Elementary for the Sith Mosaic Set.

I have spent ages scouring fields for this bird's British cousin, the stone curlew. This one in Irene (between Johannesburg and Pretoria) walked out from behind a tree right in front of me just asking to be photographed.

My first shot of this warbler for the Spring of 2019 and hopefully not my last. Dave and I lucked into a migratory flock of warblers while driving the back roads out in God's country.
It was the largest migratory flock of warblers that we have ever run into. It was what you may call the here today gone tomorrow scenario. By the time we arrived back at the hot spot of the morning in mid-afternoon, the flocks had departed. All was silent and empty.
While in the thick of it one didn't know where to point the binoculars or camera. It was like standing in a river of birds. The flock by my son's conservative estimate was 500 or so Townsend Warblers (mostly males) with a mix of a good number of Black-throated Gray Warblers (both sexes), Warbling Vireos, a smattering of Nashville Warblers, some Wilson's Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, a few Macgillivray's Warblers along with the ubiquitous Butterbutts.
For an added extra, we found our first Hammond's Flycatcher, Hermit Thrush, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Evening Grosbeaks, Western Tanagers and Cassin's Vireos for the year.

On a very cold morning the horses' backs were thick with ice, their breath was visible, and steam was rising in plumes from their bodies.
A two exposure focus stack of a Chersotis cuprea moth. This one lacks a common English name, but based on both the Swedish and the German names - the natural name would be something like "copper earth moth. Nah, who am I kidding? English naming convention would have this as "the statesman" or "the hazel unicorn or something else totally undescriptive".

This bird is a stone curlew. It is a little smaller than the Eurasian stone curlew. I love the eyes!! Our weather is perfect Autumn has finally arrived thank goodness...Thank you very much for viewing my photo ! I truly appreciate any faves, comments and awards 🐦
Visting Dordrecht I saw on the banks of the Spui delightful small Shepherd's Purse, Capsella bursa-pastoris. Here and there - as ought to be in Spring - couples of Thick-thighed Singing Hoverflies, Syritta pipiens, being fruitful, one hopes.
In contemplation of this wonder of Nature, I immediately, of course, given this town, linked to another fruitful, major event here. In the Grote Kerk - see inset - in 1618 a Church Synod of international protestantism was convened. The theological issues caused great division in The Netherlands, but that's not my topic. Far more importantly, that Synod also commissoned a standard translation of the Bible into Dutch, the so-called Statenvertaling, comparable to the King James Version in English (1611). It wasn't until 1626 that the States-General agreed to the Synod's request and though the translation (from Hebrew and Greek) was ready in 1635 it took the government until 1637 to agree to (and to underwrite) its printing. Once printed that Statenvertaling not only served to standardise the Dutch language - almost everyone at some point used it or at least understood its phrasing - but much of its language provided catch-phrases still used today (often without the speaker realising it). Thus it became highly fruitful for Dutch literature, poetry, prose and any other kind alike.
And the name of our plant, Shepherd's Purse, brings to mind as well how the language of that Statenvertaling, stimulated and expounded by the protestant Shepherds of the Word, became known as the "Tale Kanaäns", the language of faith, often recognisable even if the speakers don't know it themselves.
But our Hoverflies merely sing without words! and are fruitfully multiplying.
