While Hilversum lies on the Utrecht Hillridge about whom I told you before, the River Vecht runs through typical Dutch polderland from Utrecht north to the former Zuiderzee, now the IJsselmeer. Once a very important trade link, today it is a river for the boaters and anglers, with only very seldomly a freight boat running on it. The history of this riverland is highly fascinating, but that is a story for another day. Taken near Nederhorst ten Berg, 7th October 2007, 8.46 am / Nikkon D 80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 24 mm / F 9, 1/100, ISO 200

gouache and pencil. THE KILPER / aves idur SIZE: 10 -20 cm in height when perching COLOURATION: / The kilper’s plumage is not made for attracting mates, but for camouflage. The bird has a blue abdomen, in order to look like a clear sky when viewed from below, and a green dorsal view for blending into the leaves of the aquatic plants it sits upon. Its tail feathers at the base are coloured and shaped much like most water lilies. The kilper’s longest tail feathers are attached via a very thin shaft, with a bright red and yellow tassel at the tip. PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES: / Kilpers are small, sturdy little birds, which are not very agile. They have long toes and semi-webbed feet to aid their movements around their aquatic environment. They are not much use at flying, due to their mass, but can do so for very short bursts. CALL: / The bird twitters when not hunting for food. DIET: / The kilper is basically an insectivore, but may on occasion nip up a tiny fish, frog or tadpole. REPRODUCTION AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE: / The kilper nests in the reeds and tall standing aquatic plants that surround its home. The gestation period is one week, after which a batch of two eggs is laid. These hatch after another two weeks. At first the chicks are totally dependant on their parents for food and protection, but after about a week, they begin to explore their nest and begin showing signs of growing independence, such as pecking at live food. After three weeks, the chicks leave their nest for the last time to settle elsewhere. The kilper has no set mating season. HUNTING METHOD: / The kilper is a type of open-air angler. It settles on a lily pad or other aquatic greenery, then keeps very still for hours on end, dangling its brightly coloured tail tassel nearby its beak. These colours are very alluring to passing insects, which then come to inspect the feather. Upon their hopeful approach to or alighting on the kilper’s tail, the bird quickly pecks the insect out of the air. TEMPERAMENT: / The kilper is an alert, protective little bird and does not tolerate being approached or disturbed. It seeks escape immediately and often will not return to the nesting site where it was discovered. HABITAT: / Lakes, large dams and other bodies of still standing fresh water. General notes on the KILPER The kilper is the only one of its kind in the aves kingdom. No other bird makes use of similar hunting methods. One Alex Kilper, the explorer after which the bird was named, discovered it several centuries ago.

Dedication
by bidkevA trout fisherman perseveres with the weather on the River Orchy, Glen Orchy, Scotland Nominated for the “Pay It Forward” group by: Ginger Barritt Ginger said, of this work: / “It is a moody, powerful, beautiful piece. To me it holds so many contrasts…powerful, wild beauty of the stream against the serenty of being solitary and doing a simple thing such as fishing ….the hugeness of the area and the smallness of the fisherman….not to mention the contrasts of rocks, water, green, and broody sky…It all comes together to make it one of my favorite pieces to stare at over and over again…It gives me a feeling of belonging, and of being overwhelmed at how small each of us are” Canon 40D, 18-55 IS

Angler fish really are quite remarkable creatures! They live in the deep deep sea, further down than the light can reach, so to lure their prey in total darkness, they have rigged up a system of light emitting devices. They are not turned on here (as he is in the light, and they use up a lot of power so he only turns them on when he is hungry). Watercolour, chalk pastel, ink, conte on canvas.

Indeed, this angler just had one of his lucky moments on that afternoon in early December! He was a tough guy, by the way! After all there was a strong wind, and it was ever so cold there! I was glad to be no more than a short-time visitor, while he stayed for hours, I suppose. Taken on the mole leading out to the northern harbour head at Scheveningen. In the distance on the right you see the outer part of the pier at Scheveningen. Scheveningen, 3rd December 2008, 4.04 pm / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 31 mm / F 10, 1/80, ISO 200

Been sketching a lot of anglerfish lately ….. with twists. So many possibilities with this amazing creature. ” The anglerfish is an incredible example of how living organisms can find a way to survive in even the most inhospitable environment. The Angler Fish lives more than a mile deep in ocean water. There are over 200 species of anglers, which are named for their method of ‘fishing’ for their food. A spine of the dorsal fin acts as a ‘fishing rod’, tipped with a fleshy ‘bait’ which is often luminous. Other fishes are attracted to this lure and get eaten. Most anglerfishes live near the sea bottom. There are four kinds: batfish, goosefish, frogfish, and deep-sea angler.” This poor bugger is in a bit of strife. details /

Deep sea fishing has displaced much of the fish population from its natural habitat. In response, many of these fish have been forced to live in urban environments, where they have learned to change and adapt to survive these harsh new conditions.

The Female Angler and a Light at the End.
by Kristin ReynoldsI wonder… If she were to see her own reflection, shining / exponentially / like some great boon from the arc / of her own abstract, / woul…
This is a metaphor – surprise! lol / The subject here is the Female Angler Fish. Did you know, that the pictures you’ve most likely seen of the angler fish, are all female? These big, beginning of time looking beasts; all big jaws and teeth, complete with a lightbulb lure on top of their head, are all female. the male looks like a tiny, fat guppy. plain as day. To mate, the male sniffs out the female, and attaches itself to the side of her stomach, bites into her flesh with his sharp little teeth, and is slowly absorbed right into her until he is totally gone. His sole purpose is to become her. I thought it so strange and cool that I had to write about it. i’m sure you all understand that need.

BEST VIEWED LARGER / Thanks for dropping in the favouritings, Comments and Views are greatly appreciated. This shot shows a fisherman spinning for fish in Narrabeen lakes the refelctions were wonderful Narrabeen Lakes is a popular paddling spot on the Northern Beaches of / Sydney. The surrounding hills and trees make it quite sheltered. The fact that / it is right next to one of the world’s best surf beaches is an added bonus North Narrabeen lies on the northern shores of Narrabeen lagoon, bounded by Warriewood to the north, Elanora Heights to the west and extends east to the ocean at Turrimetta Beach. Narrabeen is opposite on the southern shore of the lagoon. The first land grants were made to John Lees, 40 acres, Philip Schaffer, 50 acres, and James Wheeler, 80 acres, along the south bank of Mullet Creek. Alex Macdonald was granted 80 acres at the beach in 1815 and west of this land JT Collins had 93.5 acres by 1857. During the nineteenth century travellers had to ford the lake until 1880 when the first bridge opened. A second bridge at the mouth of the lagoon in Ocean Street was built in 1925. With the extension of the tram to Narrabeen in 1913 providing easier transport, the whole area around the lake became popular for holidays and camping. A large camping ground became established on the north shore of the lagoon. In 1946 the Wakehurst Parkway was opened to North Narrabeen connecting the whole Pittwater area directly to Frenchs Forest and Seaforth. The origins of the name Narrabeen are uncertain, possibilities are: Narrabin, a native plant growing near the lake entrance; Narrabine, an Aborigine girl; narrow beans eaten by early explorers. James Meehan mentions Narrowbang lagoon in his survey in 1815. Equipment: Nikon D300,nikon 18-200mm lens, handheld Technique: HDR, 5 Exposures bracketted, Photomatix 3.2 64 Bit, Capture NX
