Difference Between Minohd Ultrahd 2010

African Birds (4). Bee-eaters, kingfishers and more. Easter Cactus

V EINSTALL Africa with the imagination, aided in my memory for the pictures I did in the summer of 2007. And comes to an end this selection of birds and let the most beautiful, to my taste, but unfortunately the photos are not better. The turacos are a beautiful bird in its exoticism. In this issue I have not gotten to know the species with certainty, so I'll leave it alone with the genre: Tauraco sp.
same is true of rattles , of \u200b\u200bwhich we are fortunate to have a species in the Iberian Peninsula, but not too frequent. This one, photographed in South Africa, is a Coracias caudata. has the outer tail feathers elongated as if they were a pair of filaments, although this decision can not be observed.


Other beauties, both in plumage and by their shape and form of fly, bee-eaters are . This species is Merops bullockoides and discovered on a slope of land a few meters from the sea in Mozambique. I have no clear its life cycle in the southern hemisphere, it is certainly different from our bee-eaters travelers who spend the winter in Africa and raised in our summer. This was winter time, August, and were in and out of nests as if they were in breeding season. The kingfishers have a charm similar to that of bee-eaters, with a tropical feel and shapes so typical that although the species does not have bright colors, always a joy to see them. These two were very close to the area where we saw bee-eaters, in Mozambique.
Halcyon albiventris
Ceryle rudis

back from the wonderful beach, in an area where fresh water mixed with the sea, forming ponds as soon sweet and savory foods, We began the night over in one of those wonderful sunsets in Africa. And I say goodbye to this landscape of fauna for a good season.

Canon Change Front Element



After I did this winter entry dedicated to winter flowers, which appeared the Christmas cactus, Schlumbergera truncata or synonym Zygocactus truncatus, stayed pending re-display the species which may be mistaken, the Easter cactus , Hatiora gaertneri.
is a very cortita login to show photos and little else. Show the two color varieties I have at home:

This is the time to look them in the nursery without fear of confusing and, as I said in my previous post, if we put them together with the Christmas cactus, we have a pot to bloom in winter and spring.

In the photo below I put a piece of Easter cactus stem, left, and Christmas cactus to the right. They look different, but if not next to each other is not so easy to distinguish. Moreover, according to the degree of hydration and time of year they look a little different and we can easily confuse.


Finally, although it has nothing to do with the subject of this post, I declare that Sunday will appear in a program Telemadrid talking about snakes. This is the chapter entitled "Give me poison" in the series Animal Instinct. Airs this Sunday at 20:15.

time was not an employee and the day we had to shoot in the field on 30 April, when daylight was snowing in the Sierra, with hail and tremendous winds. We had to give up going to the area where the snub-nosed viper (Vipera latastei ) is more abundant in Madrid and desperate to go to one of the places where they have ever seen, but it is very difficult to find.
