The adult has an iridescent blue back, brown wings and tail, a rufous crown and nape, and a whitish rump. The underparts are dull white. The sexes are similar, but young birds are duller and browner, with a paler forehead and pale fringes to the back and wing feathers. This species can be distinguished from other Australian swallows by its pale rump. The most similar species, the tree martin, has a shallowly forked t Little of the fauna on, above or in the seas surrounding the isles was described prior to the 19th century, when birds and fish started to be described.
Most records of other animals date from the 20th century onwards.
Historical overview There are few preth century records for animals. In the 19th century, following the fashion of the time, birds were shot and stuffed, especially by Augustus Smith and his predecessors on Tresco. Egg collecting was allowed and in the Natural History Museum there are, in the collection, forty-five eggs taken between and from Annett, even though it was a bird sanctuary.

Initially designed to evaluate swept wing handling characteristics at low and high subsonic speeds for the proposed early tailless design of the Comet airliner, three examples of the DH were built to Air Ministry specifications E. With the adoption of a conventional tail for the Comet, the aircraft were used instead to investigate swept wing handling up to supersonic speeds.
All three prototypes were lost in fatal crashes.

Historical assignments are also included for completeness. The family Geometridae is represented by over species in Great Britain. The Ourapterygini are one of the large tribes of geometer moths in the Ennominae subfamily. They are particularly plentiful in the Neotropics. Ourapterygini are generally held to be the youngest tribe of their subfamily, and at least seasonally have characteristic apomorphic asymmetrical processes of the anellus.
The tribe contains more partially diurnal species than usual for geometer moths, and many do not have the cryptic coloration typical for the family. There is a tendency to light yellowish hues and either little or a quite bold pattern, making some species rather conspicuous.
Swallow-tailed moth
It is known that at least some are noxious to predators, and such coloration might be aposematic.

The Moth was a two-seat biplane of wooden construction, it had a plywood covered fuselage and fabric covered surfaces, a standard tailplane with a single tailplane and fin.
A useful feature of the design was its folding wings which allowed owners to hangar the aircraft in much smaller spaces. The prototype was modified with a horn-balanced rudder, as used on the production aircraft, and was entered into the King's Cup Race flow The common garden skink or pale-flecked garden sunskink Lampropholis guichenoti is a species of small common skink endemic to Australia.
They are also found in New Zealand, in suburban gardens in Auckland. They have also been known to live in Eastern U. According to statistics, the average common garden skink lives up to 2—3 years. The garden skink usually has a browny black colour and sometimes may appear a dark shade of red when bathing in the sun. The lighter their colour the more energetic they are.
They have small sharp teeth which easily slice through smaller prey. Anti-predator adaptation in action: First, the predators approach their potential prey. Predators bite or try to swallow the hagfishes, but the hagfishes have already projected jets of slime arrows into the predators' mouths. Choking, the predators release the hagfishes and gag in an attempt to remove slime from their mouths and gill chambers. Throughout the animal kingdom, adaptations have evolved for every stage of this struggle, namely by avoiding detection, warding off attack, fighting back, or escaping when caught.
The first line of defence consists in avoiding detection, through mechanisms such as camouflage, masquerade, apostatic selection, living underground, or nocturnality. Alternatively, prey animals may ward off attack, whether by advertisi The Indian nightjar Caprimulgus asiaticus is a small nightjar which is a resident breeder in open lands across South Asia and Southeast Asia. Like most nightjars it is crepuscular and is best detected from its characteristic calls at dawn and dusk that have been likened to a stone skipping on a frozen lake - a series of clicks that become shorter and more rapid.
They are sometimes spotted on roads when their eyes gleam red in the spotlight of a vehicle. There is considerable plumage variation across its range and can be hard to differentiate from other nightjars in the region especially in the field. Description Call Call of Indian nightjar Problems playing this file? This nightjar is small and short-tailed with white corners to the tail, a golden nape and collar, dark cheeks and white patches on the sides of the throat. The crown is grey and the breast is finely barred in brown. The males have more white on the tail while the female is more heavily streaked on the crown.
The Austin 7 is an economy car that was produced from until in the United Kingdom by Austin. It was nicknamed the "Baby Austin" and was at that time one of the most popular cars produced for the British market and sold well abroad. Its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the US, replacing most other British economy cars and cyclecars of the early s. In France they were made and sold as Rosengarts. In Japan, Nissan also used the 7 design as the basis for their first cars, although not under licence.
Such was the power Myrica [2] is a genus of about 35—50 species of small trees and shrubs in the family Myricaceae, order Fagales. Some botanists split the genus into two genera on the basis of the catkin and fruit structure, restricting Myrica to a few species, and treating the others in Morella. The roots have nitrogen-fixing bacteria which enable the plants to grow on soils that are very poor in nitrogen content.
Caterpillar of Papilio machaon A monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus caterpillar feeding on a leaf of the swamp milkweed Caterpillars are the larval stage of members of the order Lepidoptera the insect order comprising butterflies and moths. As with most common names, the application of the word is arbitrary and the larvae of sawflies commonly are called caterpillars as well. Some feed on other animal products; for example clothes moths feed on wool, and horn moths feed on the hooves and horns of dead ungulates. Caterpillars are typically voracious feeders and many of them are among the most serious of agricultural pests.
In fact many moth species are best known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce, whereas the moths are obscure and do The series is based on the Les Pyjamasques book series by Romuald Racioppo. Plot Connor, Amaya, and Greg are three 9 year olds who attend first grade.

The PJ Masks reflect on how he felt like a hero, and the similar events he would experience. Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and constitute the biological family Trochilidae.
They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring 7. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species, to in excess of 80 in some of the smallest.

Northern flicker, Roslyn, New York The northern flicker Colaptes auratus is a medium-sized bird of the woodpecker family. It is native to most of North America, parts of Central America, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands, and is one of the few woodpecker species that migrate. Over common names for the northern flicker are known, including yellowhammer not to be confused with the Eurasian yellowhammer , clape, gaffer woodpecker, harry-wicket, heigh-ho, wake-up, walk-up, wick-up, yarrup, and gawker bird.
Many of these names derive from attempts to imitate some of its calls. Taxonomy The northern flicker is part of the genus Colaptes, which encompasses 12 New World woodpeckers. Nine subspecies one of them extinct of C.
This is an example of the "species problem". The chuck-will's-widow Antrostomus carolinensis is a nocturnal bird of the nightjar family Caprimulgidae. It is found in the southeastern United States near swamps, rocky uplands, and pine woods. This bird is generally confused with the better-known whippoorwill Antrostomus vociferus ,[2] due to their similar calls and unusual names. Though rather closely related, they are two distinct species.
Song of the chuck-will's-widow in background Problems playing this file? A fairly typical nightjar, it has a short bill and a long tail typical of the family. This species has mottled brownish underparts, a buff throat, reddish-brown feathers lined with black, and brown and white patterning on head and chest, differing from the gray and black of its more common cousin. Males have patches of white on their outer tail feathers. It is the largest nightjar in North America. Potoos family Nyctibiidae are a group of near passerine birds related to the nightjars and frogmouths.
They are sometimes called poor-me-ones, after their haunting calls. There are seven species in one genus, Nyctibius, in tropical Central and South America. These are nocturnal insectivores which lack the bristles around the mouth found in the true nightjars. They hunt from a perch like a shrike or flycatcher.
During the day they perch upright on tree stumps, camouflaged to look like part of the stump. The single spotted egg is laid directly on the top of a stump. Evolution and taxonomy Paraprefica major fossil The potoos are today an exclusively New World family, but they apparently had a much more widespread distribution in the past. Fossil remains of potoos dating from the Oligocene and Eocene have been found in France and Germany.
It had skull and leg features similar to those of modern potoos, suggesting that it m The following is a list of tautonyms: Such names are allowed in zoology, but not in botany, where the two parts of the name of a species must differ though differences as small as one letter are permitted, as in the jujube Ziziphus zizyphus. Salamanders are a group of amphibians typically characterized by a lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults.
All present-day salamander families are grouped together under the order Urodela. Salamander diversity is most abundant in the Northern Hemisphere and most species are found in the Holarctic ecozone, with some species present in the Neotropical zone. Salamanders rarely have more than four toes on their front legs and five on their rear legs, but some species have fewer digits and others lack hind limbs. Their permeable skin usually makes them reliant on habitats in or near water or other cool, damp places.
Some salamander species are fully aquatic throughout their lives, some take to the water intermittently, and others are entirely terrestrial as adults. They are capable of regenerating lost limbs, as well as other damaged parts of their bodies. Researchers hope to reverse engine The following is a List of birds sighted in Western Australia.

The Devil's coach-horse beetle Ocypus olens is a species of beetle belonging to the large family of the rove beetles Staphylinidae. Etymology The Latin species name olens, meaning smelling, refers to the two white stinking glands on the abdomen. It is sometimes also known as the cock-tail beetle[6] for its habit of raising its abdomen.
One dictionary proposed the name developed in parallelism with ladybird and its Norse cognates. The common swift Apus apus is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin but somewhat larger, though not stemming from those passerine species, being in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar contextual development. The swifts' nearest relatives are thought to be the New World hummingbirds and the Southeast Asian treeswifts.
They never settle voluntarily on the ground, where they would be vulnerable to accidents and predation, and non-breeding individuals may spend up to ten months in continuous flight. This is a list of the bird species recorded in Pakistan. The avifauna of Pakistan include a total of species, of which 39 are rare or accidental.

This list's taxonomic treatment designation and sequence of orders, families and species and nomenclature common and scientific names generally follow the conventions of The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, 6th edition.
The family accounts at the beginning of each heading reflect this taxonomy, as do the species counts found in each family account. Accidental species are included in the total species count for Pakistan. The following tags have been used to highlight several categories. The commonly occurring native species do not fall into any of these categories. A Accidental - a This is a list of invasive species in North America. A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally i.
The term invasive species refers to a subset of those species defined as introduced species. If a species has been introduced, but remains local, and is not problematic for human industry or the local biodiversity, then it is not considered invasive, and does not belong on this list.
