With its bright yellow wing-flashes and face painted black, white and red, the goldfinch is one of our most colourful birds.

But their beauty was their downfall in Victorian times when goldfinches were popular cage birds and were caught using limed twigs, nets, and cages known as chardonneret traps….from the French name for the bird.

Golden Orioles look as exotic as they sound. The male is bright yellow with black wings and a reddish bill. The female is more greenish, but both are very hard to see among the fluttering leaves. There are fewer than ten pairs of Golden orioles in the UK in any year.

Buzzards are now Britain’s most common bird of prey, outnumbering even kestrel and sparrowhawk. They’re a regular sight in town, soaring over built-up areas or sitting on fence-posts along main roads.

You can see the rim over which the clouds and fog sneak in Spain. :)

Russian photographer, Fox Grom, took these photos of his two Siberian Huskies walking on a frozen lake.

Just one morning up on the border mountains. It looked like the mountain had a crater spilling fog hillside down to blur the world.

A giant flower, said to be one of the world's oldest and largest species, has bloomed at a Tokyo park for the first time in five years, it's reported.

The 2-metre-high (6.5 feet) Titan arum rarely flowers and is notoriously difficult to propagate. The Jindai botanical gardens in the city of Chofu have extended their opening hours especially to allow hundreds of visitors to see the flower, which only blooms for one or two days, Japan's Kyodo News Service reports.

Stunning pictures have been captured of a rainbow over the World Trade Center - just a day before the anniversary of 9/11. The rainbow appeared over lower Manhattan at about 8am local time on Thursday, and was soon being widely shared on social media.
