Arktiline Virumaa
Kuigi tundub, et pildil on arktilised jääväljad või hoopis kõrb kuid tegemist on hoopis tuisuse Lääne-Virumaaga.
Although it looks like that on the photo there is an arctic ice field or even a desert, it's actually Lääne-Virumaa (Estonia) during a small blizzard.

Pikasabaline makaak, Long-tailed Macaque

Indoneesia puhmalind, Prinia familiaris
Tegemist on Indoneesia pärismaise värvulisega kes elutseb väga erinevates tingimustes üle riigi. Toitub peamiselt putukatest, mida ta otsib puudelt ja põõsastelt.
This is a distinctive endemic Indonesian passerine Bar-winged Prinia and it occupies a wide range of habitats all over the country. It feeds mostly on insects what it forages from the trees and bushes.

Talvine mets
Praegu on mets väga vaikne, ägamas lume all.
At the moment the forests are very quiet and under a thick layer of snow.

Pycnonotus aurigaster
Ega linnud ei oska alati poseerimiseks kohta valida. Seekord on Nõgipea bülbül asendi sisse võtnud kuulsa Jaava maamärgi - Prambanani templi - piirdeaial.
The birds are not always very thoughtful when posing to photographers. This Sooty-headed Bulbul is sitting on the fence of the well-known Javanese landmark - Prambanan temple.

Leevike, Pyrrhula pyrrhula
Talviste toitmiskohtade valitseja. Vajadusel tegeletakse järjekindlalt konkurentide eemalepeletamisega nii et söömiseks aega ei jäägi. Siin veel linnud hilissügiseses vihmas.
The ruler of the winter bird feeders. If necessary, the Bullfinch keeps fighting off the competitors so it might forget the eating at all. Here are the birds still in late autumn rain.

Batok ja liivameri
Batoki mägi ja taamal kunagise supervulkaani Tenggeri kaldeera äär. Kaldeera tekib siis kui mõni vulkaan pärast purset sisse langeb. Pärast Tenggeri vulkaani sisselangemist tekkis tema asemel 5 uut vulkaanikoonust. Batok on ainus, mis pole enam aktiivne ja on seetõttu kaetud männilaadsete puudega. Jaava, Indoneesia (pilt on klikitav).
Mount Batok and in the background the edge of Tengger caldera. Caldera is formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. After the collapse of Tengger, 5 new volcanic cones emerged instead of it. Mount Batok is the only peak that is no longer active, and is covered in casuarina trees. Java, Indonesia (the photo is clickable).

Some winter moods. Maybe it will somehow soothe the abundance of snow. Põlvamaa, Estonia.
