Melbourne Docklands is an area under intense urban renewal. Split into 8 precincts, with different foci and developers, Docklands is doubling the size of Melbourne’s Central Business District. This view sweeps over from the east to the west, looking south as the Yarra River drains via Victoria Harbour into Port Phillip Bay.

The Roma St Parklands are full of these little guys, just that finding them can be fun as they are very small and good at hiding.

The reindeer is widespread and numerous in the northern Holarctic. Originally it was found in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Russia, Mongolia, and northern China north of the 50th latitude. In North America it was found in Alaska, Canada, and the northern U.S. States from Washington to Maine. Reindeer are ruminants, having a four-chambered stomach. They mainly eat lichens in winter, especially reindeer moss. However, they also eat the leaves of willows and birches, as well as sedges and grasses. There is some evidence to suggest that on occasion they will also feed on lemmings,arctic char, and bird eggs. One for the Kids. Santa Claus’ sleigh is pulled by flying reindeer. These were first named in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, where they are called Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder, and Blixem. Dunder was later changed to Donder and — in other works — Donner (in German, “thunder”), and Blixem was later changed to Blitzen (German for “lightning”). Some consider Rudolph as part of the group as well, though he was not part of the original named work referenced previously. Rudolph was added to the story by Robert L. May in 1939 as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

It was only – 2 degrees, bit the wind chill made it feel like – 15! This was taken along the banks of the Chelmer And Blackwater Canal, Jan 09. The water was frozen unsurprisingly, but a few hundred metres down the lock gates open to The River Blackwater, which is tidal, therefore salty and not frozen.

Sedge Warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) – Devon, UK Canon 50D / Canon 500mm F4 IS plus 1.4 x Extender / 1/2500 / F6.3 / ISO 250 / Tripod Text adapted from – Michael. J. Seago – http://www.birdsofbritain.co.uk/bird-guide/sedge-warbler.asp The Sedge Warbler is a common and widespread summer visitor, found in a wide variety of wetland habitats, including marshes, ditches, reedbeds, bushy river and canal banks. It sometimes breeds away from water in bushy places or crops. Their breeding season range covers the greater part of Europe and extends as far as northern Scandinavia. Sedge warblers advertise their presence by a chattering and varied song, but are often invisible due to the dense herbage they haunt. The birds occupy a range of wetland habitats: lakes, rivers, reedbeds, sedge fens, marsh dykes, ponds, flooded gravel pits and meres. The song is highly varied — musical passages are freely interspersed with harsh grating ones. Sedge warblers often mimic other species including alarm notes of the blackbird, flight notes of chaffinch and linnet, and calls of pied wagtails and great tits. Sedge warblers devote most time to singing — either from the depths of cover or from such vantage points as alders and birches in full view. When in song the whole bird pulses with effort, turning from side to side with the throat conspicuously puffed-out. Each performance continues for a minute or more without a break. Impressive song flights separate perched performances at regular intervals. The bird rises almost perpendicularly in the air with fluttering wingbeats before turning rapidly and making a slow spiral descent with wings and tail outspread. Singing is frequently heard at night. The nest is usually near water, but at other times in tangled overgrown dykes quite dry in summer. It is seldom more than two or three feet above the ground. A neat construction of grass and moss, the nest is lined with horsehair or willowdown. Song period continues into early August at which time emigration is under way. Autumn passage usually ends by the beginning of October. The entire breeding population of sedge warblers winters in Africa south of the Sahara. Large fat reserves are needed prior to departure permitting unbroken flight for a small proportion of the heaviest birds to sub-Sahara from southern Britain. This is a remarkable achievement, entailing a flight of some 2400 miles. In the most favourable conditions, including tail winds, such a journey suggests a flight time of between 75 and 95 hours.
