This afternoon I be mostly testing the tech for my Tuesday afternoon "Microsopes, Mince Pies and Minerals" Xmas community thing in Mull. 🔬🪨🥧🌟🎄🎅🎶 It works! 😊 #Geology #Microscopy #StoneChat

An abstract looking colourful image is projected onto a white wall. Coloured fairy lightsare draped along the top of the wall. At the bottom of the view is a wooden shelf with, from left to right, two boxes of mince pies, and a microscope with a green felt octopus on top. The octopus has a cheery smile and is wearing a Christmas hat.

The weather wasn’t always on our side but I’m happy that it definitely had a good side in this case! Love the raindrops on this picture🥹

🇺🇸 The European stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) is a small passerine bird found in open landscapes such as heathlands, meadows, and field edges across Europe. It measures around 11.5 to 13 centimeters in length and weighs between 13 and 17 grams. Males are easily recognized by their black heads, bright orange chests, and white neck patches, especially during the breeding season. These birds are known for their upright posture and their sharp, clicking call, which resembles two stones being tapped together. Stonechats are often seen perched on shrubs, fences, or tall grasses, scanning for insects and small invertebrates. They are resident in milder regions but may migrate short distances in colder climates.

🇩🇪 Das Schwarzkehlchen (Saxicola rubicola) ist ein kleiner Singvogel, der offene Landschaften wie Heideland, Wiesen und Feldränder in ganz Europa bewohnt. Es wird etwa 11,5 bis 13 Zentimeter lang und wiegt zwischen 13 und 17 Gramm. Besonders zur Brutzeit sind die Männchen gut an ihrem schwarzen Kopf, der leuchtend orangefarbenen Brust und dem weißen Halsfleck zu erkennen. Typisch ist auch der aufrechte Sitz und der markante „klickende“ Ruf, der an aneinanderschlagende Steine erinnert. Schwarzkehlchen sitzen oft gut sichtbar auf Zaunpfählen, Büschen oder Gräsern und halten Ausschau nach Insekten und kleinen Wirbellosen. In wärmeren Regionen sind sie Standvögel, in kälteren Gegenden ziehen sie im Winter etwas weiter.

Some European Stonechats striking poses in the dunes of yesterday. We had a fantastic morning walk with lovely weather before the rain arrived in the afternoon.

This is likely a female or juvenile Stonechat, identified by its brown plumage and perching habit. Luke Haigh's Canon photo beautifully captures the bird perched vertically on a slender, leafless branch against a soft, muted background. #Stonechat #birds #lukehaigh #photography #canon #photo

Today on the Scilly Isles, Mothman saw a Purple Heron (blurry and distant but it was such a bird - will hunt for it again tomorrow!), Stonechat and a Dunnock. Mothman also did more rock posing.
