Meadow Pipit - Anthus Pratensis
The meadow pipit (Anthus pratensis) is a small passerine bird which breeds in much of northwestern Eurasia, from southeastern Greenland and Iceland east to just east of the Ural Mountains in Russia, and south to central France and Romania; there is also an isolated population in the Caucasus Mountains. It is migratory over most of its range, wintering in southern Europe, North Africa and south-western Asia, but is resident year-round in western Europe. However, even here, many birds move to the coast or lowlands in winter.
It is primarily a species of open habitats, either uncultivated or low-intensity agriculture, such as pasture, bogs, and moorland, but also occurs in low numbers in arable croplands. In winter, it also uses saltmarshes and sometimes open woodlands. It is a fairly terrestrial pipit, always feeding on the ground, but will use elevated perches such as shrubs, fence lines or electricity wires as vantage points to watch for predators.
The estimated total population is 12 million pairs. It is an abundant species in the north of its range, and generally the commonest breeding bird in most of upland Britain, but less common further south. Breeding densities range from 80 pairs per square kilometre in northern Scandinavia, to 5–20 pairs per square kilometre in grassland in the south of the breeding range, and just one pair per square kilometre in arable farmland. There are a small number of isolated breeding records from south of the main range, in the mountains of Spain, Italy, and the northern Balkans.
There has been a general decline in the population over the past 17 years, most notable in French farmland, with a 68% drop.

Queen Elizabeth Forest Park is a forest park in the Scottish Highlands which extends from the eastern shores of Loch Lomond to the mountains of Strathyre. The park is part of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and is a sparsely-populated region of mountains, hills, lochs and valleys. Most of the upland areas are bare and uncultivated, while much of the lowland is densely forested.

The Montagne d'Hirmentaz (1598 m).
Renowned in winter as a popular playground for skiers, located just a stone's throw from Lake Geneva, the Montagne d'Hirmentaz is a very pleasant hiking destination for beginners or an end-of-season outing. Easy to access, the Montagne d'Hirmentaz, whose name comes from the old French herm meaning "uncultivated or fallow land", is a choice viewpoint over the Mont-Blanc, Aravis and French Chablais Massif.
Mont Blanc, in the Mont-Blanc massif, is the highest point of the Alps. With an altitude of 4,810 metres, it is the highest peak in Western Europe and the sixth highest on a continental level taking into account the Caucasus mountains, of which Elbrus is the highest peak.
La Montagne d’Hirmentaz (1598 m).
Réputée l’hiver comme terrain de jeu apprécié des skieurs situé à deux pas du Léman, la Montagne d’Hirmentaz constitue un objectif de randonnée fort bien sympathique pour les débutants ou une sortie de fin de saison. Facile d’accès, la Montagne d’Hirmentaz, dont le toponyme provient du vieux français herm désignant un « terrain inculte ou en friche », est un belvédère de choix sur le Massif du Mont-Blanc, des Aravis et du Chablais Français. Le mont Blanc, dans le massif du Mont-Blanc, est le point culminant de la chaîne des Alpes. Avec une altitude de 4 810 mètres, il est le plus haut sommet d'Europe occidentale et le sixième sur le plan continental en prenant en compte les montagnes du Caucase, dont l'Elbrouz est le plus haut sommet.

Dogweed (Glechoma Hederacea)
The herb "Dogweed" with its tiny blue flowers is traditionally used for colds, flu, coughs, respiratory infections and a remedy to lower fever as the plant is rich in vitamine C.
It is also effective for cystitis and urinary infections.
The herb is then used in dried form from which one makes tea........

The older I get, I'm realizing that beautiful things can arise from the uncultivated, the uncontrived. When toil and striving cease, the peaceful and calm natural surpasses.
A single , nodding flower with an inflated slipper-like lip petal. Range East across Canada to Newfoundland. Habitat: Cool, damp, mossy mainly coniferous woods. I omitted to map this image to protect the location, it was taken in northern Ontario on one of my hikes a few years ago.

The wild honeysuckle...
She is known for her wonderful fragancy that she spreads on warm, balmy summer evenings.
As a result, she attracts many insects that pollinate her....

The poppy is a spontaneous flower , which grows "freely" in fields and uncultivated land. This is why the flower is considered the symbol of the Resistance and of April 25th, which is in Italy the Liberation Day from fascist dictatorship.
It has been an extremely wet and windy winter this year thus far putting increased pressure on Brown Hares needing food and shelter all year round. I photographed this beautiful Brown Hare early in January resting along a strip of uncultivated land bordered on one side by woodland and the other by tall grasses and weeds providing a windbreak as well as a diversity of food - a perfect place!
Thank you all for your kind responses.
The male painted bunting (Passerina ciris) is one of the most brightly colored songbirds in North America. The French name for the species, nonpareil (without equal), refers to its distinctive purple, blue, red, yellow and green plumage. Males attain adult plumage when two years old. Females are a yellowish green and resemble subadult males. The male’s song is a variable high-pitched warble.
Range
Painted buntings occur in two geographically distinct breeding populations: a western population that ranges from northwest Florida to Texas, including Oklahoma and parts of Mexico; and an eastern population limited to coastal areas from North Carolina to northern Florida, and inland along large rivers. Two subspecies are recognized based on geographic distribution, migration patterns and timing of molt (shedding of feathers). Painted buntings in Franklin, Gulf, Bay and Wakulla counties of the Florida Panhandle may be an expansion of the western subspecies or an overlap of occurrence. Genetic studies are needed to determine the range of the two subspecies, or if they are so dissimilar that two separate species should be designated. The breeding range of the eastern subspecies in Florida extends along the northeast coast from the state line south to Cape Canaveral and inland along the St. Johns River. Eastern painted buntings winter in south Florida, Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas. Florida is the only state with a breeding and wintering population.
Coastal scrub plant communities and edges of coastal oak hammocks are the preferred breeding habitats in Florida; however, the subspecies may also use roadside thickets, uncultivated fields, abandoned citrus groves and some urban areas. Painted buntings build nests in shrubs or small trees, usually within 6 feet (approximately 2 meters) above the ground.
I found this male in Polk County, Florida.
