I do love this little bird. It has the same characteristics as its relations, the other tits, energetic, colourful and determined. It is loving the peanuts and comes quite frequently through the day.
After spending some time grazing on the sedge grasses that are exposed at low time in the estuary, the mother grizzly and yearling cub land safely back onshore near their den at high tide, Khutzeymateen estuary, BC. The mother bear is still on alert for the danger to her cub posed by a male grizzly in the area.

It is true that the white tailed deer in Cades Cove are more used to seeing people and therefore a little less skiddish but they do remain on alert and ready to run at any moment

Scholekster - Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus).
Actually upset because they have youngsters.
Just back from a few days wandering round Affric with the tent and Paddy and Smudge (piccies to come). One of the highlights, though whether you could call it such, was the fact that rutting season is full underway with huge numbers of red deer stags blerting dawn and dusk ... that however had side effects of sleepless nights, not nescessarily caused by the stags but by something else .... (think Red Balloon Song :))
... 'You and I in a little old tent
Having kibble and a dash of milk
Ready for bed with my warm coat on
Snuggle down on my bubblewrap
Till one by one my eyes were closed
Back of my head, bugs in the software
Flash the message: "Something's out there!"
Thundering across the mountain side
Ninety-nine red deer go by
Panic bells, it's RED ALERT!
There's something there from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up two eager eyes
Focusing it on the mountainside
Where ninety-nine red deer go by
Ninety-nine decision street
Ninety-nine brain cells meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
My Dad is now online too
As ninety-nine red deer go by
There's one eager pup with advid soul
A super duper jet dogo
Everyone's superhero
Everyone's Captain Smudge
With orders to 'Lie Down!'
To 'Stay and Wait' and 'Get Back Here!'
Scramble out in midnight skies
As Ninety-nine red deer go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
In every one, a red deero
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that's on the end of my lead
If I could only go beyond
Just to prove my heart was true
And there find the red deero
Then I think of you, and let them go ......'

A nervous grizzly cub on high alert clings to its mother's back in a sedge grass meadow, Khutzeymateen estuary, BC. The cub has learned from its mother that male grizzly bears are dangerous (they can kill unrelated cubs) and when the pair are feeding in the open they always are alert for the presence of danger from males in the vicinity.

This week I visited an open range zoo where I gave my camera a good workout. Meerkats are among my favourite animals, such a delight to see them on guard against predators who are unlikely to ever come, while others scratched in the sand for treats supplied by their keepers.
It's interesting to watch a cat's whiskers, they are quite expressive and sometimes even seem to have a life of their own. :)
