The Madagascar stonechat (Saxicola sibilla) is a species of
stonechat endemic to Madagascar. It is a small bird, closely similar to the
African stonechat in both plumage and behaviour, but distinguished from it by the more extensive black on the throat and minimal orange-red on the upper breast of the males. This male Madagascar stonechat perching on a branch was photographed in
Analamazaotra National Park, near
Andasibe.Photograph credit:

Bistorta officinalis, also known as the common bistort, is a species of
flowering plant in the dock family
Polygonaceae. It is native to Europe and northern and western Asia, but has also been cultivated and become naturalized in other parts of the world such as in the United States. It is typically found growing in moist meadows, nutrient-rich wooded swamps, forest edges, wetlands, parks, gardens and disturbed ground. A herbaceous
perennial, it grows to a height of 20 to 80 centimetres (8 to 31 inches). It blooms from late spring into autumn, producing tall, erect, unbranched and hairless stems ending in single terminal
racemes that are club-like spikes, 5 to 7 centimetres (2 to 3 inches) long, of rose-pink flowers. This B. officinalisinflorescence was photographed in the
Austrian Alps.
