Este fin de semana es el dÃa de las Fuerzas Armadas aquà en Asturias.
El viernes con la visita del rey Felipe VI aquà en Gijon, se realizo una exhibición donde Los harriers tenÃan un papel muy importante.
decir que el Harrier («aguilucho» en inglés), también llamado «Harrier Jump Jet» o el «Jump Jet», es un avión a reacción militar de diseño británico capaz de realizar despegues y aterrizajes verticales/cortos (V/STOL), mediante empuje vectorial. De los muchos diseños de este tipo que surgieron a partir de los años 1960, el Harrier ha sido el único que ha tenido éxito comercial.
Existen cuatro versiones principales en la familia Harrier: los Hawker Siddeley Harrier (AV-8A Harrier) y BAE Sea Harrier de primera generación, y los AV-8B Harrier II y BAE Harrier II de segunda generación.
Feliz semana amigos

My first Orange Tip (Female) of the season on my local patch of Woodgate Country Park Birmingham. 19th April 2021
A female Orange-tip found roosting during an evening walk. A bit of a breeze made photography a challenge but a few frames came out well enough. It's been a good few weeks for this species locally.

Le Vulcain est un papillon de taille moyenne caractérisé par des ailes noires à marron foncées frappées d’un demi-cercle rouge orangé centré sur le corps, délimitant le bout des ailes avant ornées de taches blanches, et s’inscrivant sur le bout des ailes arrières où une rangée de points noires orne la bande rouge. Présents sur tout le territoire de France métropolitaine, les Vulcains se trouvent également dans les zones tempérées d’Europe, d’Asie, et d’Amérique du nord. Inoubliable, le vulcain se distingue par sa robe contrastée et chatoyante.
The Vulcain is a medium-sized butterfly characterized by black to dark brown wings with an orange-red semi-circle centered on the body, delineating the tips of the front wings with white spots, and marking on the tips of the wings backs where a row of black dots adorns the red stripe. Present throughout the territory of metropolitan France, Vulcans are also found in the temperate zones of Europe, Asia, and North America. Unforgettable, the Vulcan is distinguished by its contrasting and shimmering dress.

Burnt Tip Orchid in the unimproved limestone grassland of the Derbyshire "White" Peak District. BTOs are described as "almost extinct". in Derbyshire due mainly to loss of habitat following agricultural land improvement schemes and are limited to a handful of remote sites.
The warm weather over the weekend of April 8-9 triggered a large hatch of butterflies at Burton Mere Wetlands. I noted five species - orange tip, small white, green-veined white, peacock and speckled wood with the orange tips present in very large numbers. This is one of them feeding on a green alkanet flower.
From L'Anse to Summit CN battles a stiff eastbound grade that tops out at 3.04% as they climb the Huron Mountains. L540 is near the top of that Climb and has reached fresh frosted trees but that didn't last as we dropped back down in elevation.
We saw quite a few Orange-tip butterflies on a walk round two of the reservoirs in the Longdendale valley last week.

Burnt-tip Orchids / neotinea ustulata. Derbyshire. 25/05/22.
'ANOTHER TICK ON MY UK ORCHID LIST.'
It's always wonderful to see something wild for the first time and yesterday I did just that when I went to see a small colony of Burnt-tip Orchids. There were spits and spots of rain, scudding clouds and an unrelenting cold wind, but nothing took away from the joy of seeing these striking little orchids.
*They shook and quivered in the wind so photography was a bit of a challenge!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
These birds (almost) always seem to look in excellent condition, probably the normal viewing conditions of a bright winters day and a healthy diet of high carotene berries helps.
I have included a shot taken a few years ago in comments below of the wax primary feather tips that give the bird its name.
Taken in Kelling, North Norfolk. Approx. 24m away.
