The Eurasian Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto, also called the Eurasian Collared-Dove or simply the Collared Dove, is one of the great colonisers of the avian world. Its original range was warmer temperate regions from southeastern Europe to Japan. However, in the twentieth century it expanded across the rest of Europe, reaching as far west as Great Britain by 1953; breeding in Britain for the first time in 1956, and Ireland soon after. It also now breeds north of the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. It is not migratory. It was introduced into the Bahamas in the 1970s and spread to Florida by 1982. Its stronghold in North America is still the Gulf Coast, but it is now found as far south as Veracruz, as far west as California, and as far north as British Columbia and the Great Lakes. Its impact on native species is as yet unknown; it appears to occupy an ecological niche between that of the Mourning Dove and Rock Pigeon; some have suggested that its spread represents exploitation of a niche made available by the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon. / A profile of a collared dove. It breeds wherever there are trees for nesting, laying two white eggs in a stick nest. The eggs are incubated by the female during the night and by the male during the day. Incubation lasts 14-18 days, and young fledge after 15-19 days. It is not wary and is often found around human habitation. This is a small dove, buff grey with a darker back and a blue-grey wing patch. The tail feathers are tipped white. It has a black half-collar on its nape from which it gets its name. The short legs are red and the bill is black. The iris is reddish brown, but from a distance the eyes appear to be black, as the pupil is relatively large and only a narrow rim of reddish-brown eye colour can be seen around the black pupil. This is a gregarious species, and sizeable winter flocks will form where there are food supplies such as grain. The song is a coocoo, coo repeated many times. It is phonetically similar to the Greek decaocto (‘eighteen’), to which the bird owes its name. Occasionally it also makes a harsh loud mechanical-sounding call lasting about 2 seconds, particularly when landing in the summer. The Eurasian Collared Dove is one of two species (the other, and the more likely, being the African Collared Dove, Streptopelia roseogrisea) that have been argued to be the wild ancestor of the domestic Barbary Dove, S. risoria. It is able to interbreed with the Barbary Dove. / Source text: wikipedia Sierpówka, synogarlica turecka (Streptopelia decaocto) – średniej wielkości ptak z rodziny gołębiowatych, zamieszkujący południową Azję, część Afryki i duże obszary Europy. Zasięg trudny do określenia, ponieważ jest to gatunek inwazyjny. W Europie stwierdzona po raz pierwszy w 1835 w Płowdiwie w Bułgarii, a w ówczesnych Niemczech w maju 1940 pod Oleśnicą oraz na wiosnę 1942 w Polsce, wTarnowie; pierwsze gnieżdżenie się zanotowano w 1943 w Lublinie i Tarnowie. W latach 50. i 60. skolonizowała całą Europę Środkową i południową część Półwyspu Skandynawskiego oraz Wyspy Brytyjskie. W 2005 poza zasięgiem sierpówki była tylko północna część Skandynawii i Rosji, wysokie góry oraz większość Półwyspu Iberyjskiego, gdzie występuje punktowo. W ciągu ostatnich 100 lat sierpówka rozszerzyła znacząco swój zasięg również w Turcji, pojawiła się w Iraku i Izraelu, a na przełomie XX i XXI wieku dotarła przez Hiszpanię do północnego Maroka, jednak na pozaeuropejskich terenach występuje bardziej wyspowo i nie zasiedla tak zwartych areałów. / Sierpówka Cechy gatunku / Upierzenie szare, wierzch z brązowawym odcieniem, pierś i brzuch różowawe. Na karku czarna półobroża. / Wymiary średnie / Dł. ciała ok. 28 cm – 33 cm / rozpiętość skrzydeł 60 cm / waga ok. 150-200 g. / Biotop / Gatunek synantropijny, najczęściej w miastach, na obszarach luźniejszej zabudowy. Szczególnie w miejscach występowania drzew iglastych, służących za miejsce nocowania. Również parki, ogrody, aleje, a w regionie saharyjskim oazy. / Gniazdo / Wczesną wiosną, gdy nie rozwinęły się jeszcze liście na drzewach gniazdo zakłada na drzewach iglastych, później także liściastych. Gniazdo stanowi platforma z drobnych gałązek umieszczona na drzewie w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie zabudowań. Zdarzają się także lęgi nietypowe, np. na sygnalizatorze świetlnym itp. / Jaja / Zazwyczaj 3 do 4 lęgów w roku (w sprzyjających warunkach nawet 6). W zachodniej Europie sporadycznie nawet zimą. W zniesieniu dwa śnieżnobiałe jaja. / Wysiadywanie / Jaja wysiadywane są przez okres 14 do 15 dni. Pisklęta opuszczają gniazdo po 20 dniach. / Pożywienie / Nasiona, resztki pokarmu człowieka. / Ochrona / Objęta ochroną gatunkową. / Źródło tekstu: wikipedia

This friendly young horse was very inquisitive about what I was holding in my hands. It could not resist having a very, very close inspection, both by smell and taste ! Imaged at North Lakes, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Our grandson, Hunter, just turned two in June, and his mind never stops. He is constantly exploring, investigating and inspecting EVERYTHING- as most children do. His parents fortunately encourage this, as all good parent should, no matter how many times the question is asked. During our hike about Jockey’s Ridge in Kill Devil Hills, Hunter stopped to investigate a very small dune with tufts of sea grasses and wanted to know what everything was (he thought the blossom atop the grass was a worm or caterpillar and wanted to know if they could use it to go fishing). Jockey’s Ridge in Kill Devil Hills is the largest natural dunes area on the east coast of the United States and rises as much as 80-100 feet above sea level. It is quite a large expanse of open area for hiking, hang-gliding and especially for flying kites. The people climbing the small dune in background add a degree of scope to the image. The entire area covers many acres and is constantly moving and shifting with the ceaseless ocean breezes.

This young kookaburra has ruffled his feathers and fluffed himself up and is then looking quizzically at the camera as if to say, “what species are you?” This photo was taken in natural bush in Walpole in Western Australia. It is a kookaburra that is known as “the Laughing Kookaburra”. The Laughing Kookaburra, Dacelo novaeguineae, is an Australian carnivorous bird in the Kingfisher family. This species of kookaburra is well known for its laughing call.
