This resident breeder across the Indian subcontinent, has been introduced in many other parts of the world and has established itself in Argentina, Tonga and Fiji, as well as parts of Samoa, USA and Cook Islands. The birds short crest gives the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. A bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands. In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. Feeds on fruits, petals of flowers, nectar, insects and occasionally house geckos.
A wee vent, and thoughts...
How lucky are we to wrap up this year with being safe, and with friends.
A few nights ago, someone said to me, Second life is a place to take from people. "If they are giving, I am taking it".
Ive not really experienced that. Although, I have a broken heart, the fault is mine. I have had wonderful, creative, beautiful, inspiring, sexy, sensual, intense, deep, sad and happy tears on Second life.
Ive made life long friends, and heard stories from all over the world.
Fallen deeply, madly in love.
Ive left friendships behind, let people go in my life, been let go, had people block me, or accuse me. The thing is, if you know you are a good, decent, solid person you do not require a vote on it!
I suppose like anything else in life there are people who want to empty the pockets of others with ill intent, just because they can... But in my minds eye.. Id rather sign off then take from someone, or something that I didnt earn by my own hand.
The thing is .. and there is always a thing.. Second life isnt really any different then real life.. you will always find assholes around.. doesnt mean you have to give them valuable time ;)

I finally got a presentable photo of one of the Red-vented Bulbuls that lives in the Heights earlier this week. I know they are introduced and have been told that they are an invasive species but it was still neat to see this bird. It would be neat to go to India to see one in its native habitat but Houston will have to do for now.

This White-vented Plumeleteer was at the Jardin Encantado in the small town of San Francisco, not far west of Bogota. This image shows the brilliant green underparts in bright light (with the white vent out-of-focus). This is a large species of Hummingbird, with an average length of some 12 cm (over 4.5 in).

A member of the Bulbul family of passerines, it is a resident breeder across the Indian subcontinent. The bird has been introduced in many other parts of the world and has established itself in New Zealand, Argentina, Tonga and Fiji, as well as parts of Samoa, Australia, USA and Cook Islands. The Red-vented Bulbul is a bird of dry scrub, open forest, plains and cultivated lands. In its native range it is rarely found in mature forests. A study based on 54 localities in India concluded that vegetation is the single most important factor that determines the distribution of the species.
A Red-vented bulbul perches on a banana stump. Native to Southeast Asia this bird has become invasive on Oahu and an agricultural pest. Frequently vocal, sometimes melodious, and common in urban and rural areas.
It was rather windy yesterday (although not as much as today) and wet and dull too! Managed to snap this vole (in the wind...!) as he popped out to find morsels under the feeders at Venus Pool - Shropshire
The Paternoster Vents, sometimes known as the “Angel's Wings”, is an outdoor 2002 stainless steel sculpture on the west side of the Paternoster Square development in London.
As well as being impressive as a piece of sculptural art, it was designed as ventilation for an underground electrical substation. with four electricity transformers under Bishop’s Court on the west side of the development.
Thomas Heatherwick's design reduces the physical mass of the structure as originally conceived, with metal grilles integrated into the paving allow ingress of cool air, with warm air flowing out through the two tall vents which form wings that mirror each other.
Each wing comprises 63 isosceles triangles of stainless steel about 6 mm (0.24 in) thick that stands about 11 m (36 ft) high. The design was inspired by origami experiments from folding pieces of A4 paper.

The Steely-vented Hummingbird (Saucerottia saucerottei) is a dazzling emblem of Colombia’s vibrant biodiversity, and this particular image was captured at La Minga Ecolodge, nestled in the foothills near Cali, Colombia. This male was perched on a slender branch, displaying its radiant metallic green plumage that shimmered in the soft natural light. The delicate contrast between the bird’s vivid colors and the muted greens of the background highlights its beauty while maintaining a sense of harmony with its forested surroundings.
To achieve this shot, I used a Canon R5 and a 100-500mm lens at 500mm, relying on the camera’s advanced stabilization to maintain sharpness at a slow shutter speed of 1/90 second. ISO 400 was selected to balance clarity and light sensitivity, ensuring a virtually noise-free result while preserving intricate feather details. The narrow aperture provided just enough depth to isolate the bird from its lush environment. This moment, shared with birding guide Asherita Viajera, underscores the importance of patience and preparation in wildlife photography. Capturing this fleeting yet perfect pose was a rewarding reminder of why I pursue this craft.

Antananarivo (Madagascar) – Échoppe de fabrication et vente de nouilles chinoises à Andravoahangy, le plus grand marché de la capitale malgache.
Situé au nord-est de la ville, c’est un marché-bidonville, car la plupart des commerçants vivent sur place. Il a très mauvaise réputation en raison des guides touristiques qui affirment que les étrangers qui s’aventurent ici risquent de se faire détrousser. Personnellement, j’ai souvent arpenté les allées étroites et boueuses de ce marché en prenant des photos, sans avoir jamais été inquiété. Il est vrai que je n’emporte avec moi qu’un seul appareil photo que je garde à la main. Les objets de valeur restent à l’hôtel. En voyage, la sécurité est souvent une simple question de logique.
Noodle sales
Antananarivo (Madagascar) – Stall making and selling Chinese noodles in Andravoahangy, the largest market in the Malagasy capital.
Located in the northeast of the city, it's both a market and a shantytown, as most of the vendors live there. It has a very bad reputation because tour guides claim that foreigners who venture here risk being robbed. Personally, I've often wandered the narrow, muddy alleyways of this market, taking photos, without ever being bothered. It's true that I only carry one camera with me, which I keep in my hand. Valuables stay at the hotel. When travelling, safety is often simply a matter of logic.
