In particularly harsh winters, Wren populations can deplete significantly by up to as much as 25%. Despite this startling statistic, this is often countered by the large broods created throughout the breeding season. I hope this little guy is one of the lucky ones their fantastic little birds and only weigh as much as a 2p coin .

The South African giraffe or Cape giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) is a subspecies of giraffe ranging from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique.
In 2016, the population was estimated at 31,500 individuals in the wild.
The South African giraffe is found in northern South Africa, southern Botswana, southern Zimbabwe, and south-western Mozambique.
South African giraffes usually live in savannahs and woodlands where food plants are available. Giraffes are herbivorous animals. They feed on leaves, flowers, fruits and shoots of woody plants such as Acacia.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the body that administers the world’s official endangered species list, announced in 2016 that it was moving the giraffe from a species of Least Concern to Vulnerable status in its Red List of Threatened Species report. That means the animal faces extinction in the wild in the medium-term future if nothing is done to minimize the threats to its life or habitat. - Source Wikipedia

It's been a while since I posted one of my safari Leopards that I love so much (the Leopards, not my photos). I though the BnW might be appropriate here as this was a night sighting with the light coming from our guide's torch.
It's funny how you can suddenly feel very small when sitting in the back of an open-top jeep without sides in the pitch blackness of a South African night in the middle of the bush with no signs of humanity for many many kilometres. Then your guide shines a torch on a leopard mid-prowl, and she roars into the night. Whether in warning or anger or for help I don't know. Then the calls & cackles of hyenas come answering back, in number. You feel very alive, and vulnerable. And thrilled to be taking the scene in with all your senses, sight, smell, sound and the "feel" of the moment. Wondrous memories of a wondrous time for me.
Have a great weekend out there everyone and watch out for those leopards & hyenas.

O'Shaughnessy's chameleon (Calumma oshaughnessyi) is a species of chameleon endemic to Madagascar. It was named after the British poet and herpetologist Arthur O'Shaughnessy.
O'Shaughnessy's chameleon has a range of about 18,000 square kilometers throughout the southeastern portion of the central highlands of Madagascar. Its distribution extends from Tsinjoarivo, Ambatolampy in the north to Andohahela National Park in the south. The species is highly dependent on intact, humid forest as its habitat, living in lower densities on selectively logged territories.
They are most active in the morning and the evening.
Although in some places common, O'Shaughnessy's chameleon is severely threatened. Its populations are declining and fragmented, and the species is ranked as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Although reports of illegal trade in the species do exist, its primary threat is habitat loss, such as logging and deforestation. While significant populations do exist in protected areas, further loss of inhabitable terrain could fragment and isolate these communities. – Wikipedia
Vulnerable - In 1988 the total population of the species was estimated to be only 2500 individuals. It is threatened with extinction due to the destruction of its habitats and illegal trade. In this year of 2014 the great blue macaw climbed one position in the IUCN red list, now being classified as "vulnerable" (VU).
This wild one was at the trees of Porto Jofre Hotel, Pantanal.
Happy Blue Monday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

The black lemur (Eulemur macaco) is a species of lemur from the family Lemuridae. Like all lemurs, it is endemic to Madagascar. Elevated to species status by Mittermeier et al. in 2008, Eulemur macaco, the black lemur, has brown or orange eyes, and ear tufts.
It lives in northwest Madagascar. The black lemur occurs in moist forests in the Sambirano region of Madagascar and on nearby islands.
The black lemur primarily eats fruit, which makes up an estimated 78% of its diet. The ripeness of this fruit is vital to the lemur's diet. Other foods eaten include flowers, leaves, fungi, some invertebrates and, especially during the dry season, nectar.
The black lemur lives in both primary and secondary forest. It is active both during the day and at night. It forages in both the upper and middle canopy, especially at night, and during the day it also forages in the understory. In degraded habitats, it also forages on the ground and may even eat soil. Lemur listed with the IUCN as vulnerable. – Wikipedia
She, well this new-born Blue Tit seems as cute and pretty as any female, has become a regular and welcome visitor to our garden. Since braving the new world, she's been treated to fresh food and water each day.
Have a great weekend and thanks for another week of visits, comments and favourites. I've seen some fabulous photography too :-))

"The real subject is yourself facing the world" - Thierry Girard
If I show you all my demons
And we dive into the deep end
Would we crash and burn like every time before?
I would tell you all my secrets
Wrap your arms around my weakness
If the only other option's letting go
I'll stay vulnerable, yeah

The West Virginia White, is a butterfly found in North America in the Great Lakes states, along the Appalachians from New England to Alabama, and in southern Ontario. They are typically found in moist deciduous forests. Forestry, development, and a highly-invasive species that it confuses with its host plant are causing this species to decline.
Along with the butterfly Pieris oleracea, it is threatened by the invasive weed garlic mustard, Alliaria petiolata. The butterflies, having not evolved to be familiar with the plant, confuse it with their host plants. The offspring laid on garlic mustard do not survive. (Wikipedia)

Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus). Status: Vulnerable.
A long-winged and elegant, small bird of prey but looks less powerful than the Eurasian Hobby. Can be seen together with Eurasian Hobby.
Red-footed Falcons hunt over open and semi-open habitats, often near water or grazing animals (which attract flying insects).
Males unmistakable, females distinctive. Juveniles can be confused with young Hobbies, but note juvenile Red-footed's barred upper-tail. Often seen perched on telephone wires and posts.
They nest in colonies mostly in old corvid nests, often of Rooks. Red-footed Falcons hunt over open and semi-open habitats, often near water or grazing animals (which attract flying insects).

The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the family Felidae; it is a muscular, deep-chested cat with a short, rounded head, a reduced neck and round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (330 to 550 lb) for males and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 400 lb) for females. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognizable feature of the species.
A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight.
It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996 because populations in African countries have declined by about 43% since the early 1990s. Lion populations are untenable outside designated protected areas. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are the greatest causes for concern. - Wikipedia

This dove (IUCN conservation status - Vulnerable) was just relaxing in the scrub-grass and I was going to try for a better shot but didn't want to disturb her... the eyes communicated her desire for me to move along so I did... she was on the edge of one of the ponds and the rushes and reeds where I was trying to sneak up on a Purple Heron... once again a shout out to the Jordan RSCN and her staff at Azraq... can't say enough... :-)
The Mugger Crocodile, also called Marsh Crocodile, Broad-snouted Crocodile and Mugger, is a crocodilian native to freshwater habitats from southern Iran and Pakistan to the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka. It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1982. This wild example was seen at very close quarters in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.
