The last few weeks my Bruce has not been walking very well, after seeing our vet, who put him on Metacam, he is doing really well and now he manages a small walk each day :))
For those of you who don't know about Bruce, Bruce is 13 years old, we got him from the rottweiler rescue trust, he was nearly 3 yrs old, he had been nearly starved to death and cruelly treated, he had to have several operations before he could eat normally. he was afraid of everything and when he got scared he would just try and run to safety.
Yes of course he had loads of behavioural issues and I suppose the worst was he is not sociable with other male dogs, but he has alway been a big teddy bear with people and loves children. (okay before someone comments on that, no he can't eat a whole one :)))
Thank you everyone for all your kind messages and get well wishes for Bruce,
Take care, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend !!!

I came across this rather small bee along a wooded path leading up to Bannerdown Common. I don't know the reason for holding this position on a leaf (Cardamine bulbifera) and appearing to present itself in a rather exposed fashion.
If someone does know, please do share!
This mallard carried this dead frog and dropped it near the waters edge.
After a little research it seems Mallards do eat frogs with females hunting them and the drakes often stealing there catch, the meat helps sustain them during nesting.

PS
i like the feet detail visible in this shot
Over-sized Juvenile feet still appear chicken-like - while parent bird shows fully developed lobed features

A common red soldier beetle (a vegetarian as far as I'm aware) trying to pull apart a mating pair of dock bugs in New Ferry Butterfly Park.
They are also known as Cobra Chickens, Viper Chickens or of course as their name many know them by - Canada Geese. They are nasty with one another especially if they try to invade the space of others.

I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.
This black heron has adapted to a very unique feeding behaviour making use of its wings to form a canopy, its flight feathers are particularly broad and shaped to help form the closed canopy. The erected nape plumes also help complete the canopy. Its distinctively coloured feet are similar to other herons/egrets, but interestingly, unlike many other species, the black heron’s legs do not change colour in the breeding season, suggesting that dark legs are important in the functioning of the canopy behaviour. The ability of the species to adequately catch fish in shallow open water using its unique shadow-casting behaviour is just short of amazing.
Although it’s not perfectly clear why the black heron uses this specific technique, scientists hypothesize that it has several advantages, like reducing glare and attracting the fish into a trap with the fish falsely believing its a safe place to hide in the shade. And because the shade gives the bird a better view of its victim, it can easily snatch it out of the water with its long beak. The black heron is definitely one of the sneakiest predators in the animal realm.
Watching with amazement and wondering how he or she can do the same is the glossy ibis.
This lagoon was always a hive of activity while we were at this camp, so many species of birds at all times to entertain between safari outings.
Flynn practising his jumping skills on a walk in Dog Hill Woods, near our new home. Poor lad has been quite stressed this week, with the change in house & a new routine etc... we've had a bit of a reversion to old habits, with a few snarly/snappy episodes over things he's not reacted to in many months. He's also been alarm-barking & flinching at eeeverything! At least there's been no bitey-ness (yet!!) - he is trying to be a good dog ;-) I had expected Flynn would be a bit unnerved by the change, so I've not been too surprised by his behaviour. I'm sure given another week or 2, he'll settle down!
Flynn has been enjoying exploring new walks with me. There's a lot of beautiful countryside nearby, with at least 3 different good-sized woods within walking distance from our home. We've walked round 2 of the woods in this past week but there are so many paths & trails, I think it will take a very long time for us to get to know the area properly. I should really invest in some local maps because at the moment, we're just wandering about. We've *nearly* got ourselves lost a couple of times already ;-) Hmm, I wonder how good Flynn's sense of direction is?
Never saw this behaviour before, what they usually do is hide but this one was different.
What I was doing was photographing a Little Blue Heron that was in back of the Turtle when he just came up to look to see what I was doing. It;s a comical and whimsical and the detail in the shell under water I thought was pretty good and hope you all like it and get a little chuckle, and the same with the one underneath this one, thank you all.
Looks right according to BWARS with the orange tipped antennae and leg hairs, and photo in comments shows behaviour described there too! Would love confirmation / correction please!

The European Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a subspecies of the Common Stonechat. Long considered a member of the thrush family Turdidae, genetic evidence has placed it and its relatives in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It is slightly smaller than the European Robin. Both sexes have distinctively short wings. The summer male has black upperparts, a black head, an orange throat and breast, and a white belly and vent. It also has white half-collar on the sides of its neck, a small white scapular patch on the wings, and a very small white patch on the rump often streaked with black. European Stonechats breed in heathland, coastal dunes and rough grassland with scattered small shrubs and bramble, open gorse, tussocks or heather. They are short-distance migrants or non-migratory. The male's song is high and twittering like a Dunnock. Both sexes have a clicking call like stones knocking together. Saxicola rubicola hibernans occurs in northwestern Europe in Atlantic coastal areas, in southwestern Norway, Great Britain, Ireland and northwestern France. (wikipedia)
A male with a demanding fledgling along the south Wicklow coast.
I was met with in an accident and leg was fractured. A plate was fixed in my leg. With this, I went to Sankagiri Fort, near Salem, Tamil Nadu, India with my friend and I was not able to walk for long distance and due to pain, I laid down on the way under a tree. Then, around 10 monkeys came near the tree and I was waiting for a good shot with my camera. Suddenly, a monkey took newspaper and while laying down, I shot this photo which I feel is the gift given by God.
I also thank my friend at this moment who was with me at that time. Date :- 11-03-2018 - Timing - 15:17 pm

One of the major reasons why we need to work towards protecting the environment is because it helps to protect humanity. If we didn’t have our environment, then we wouldn’t have a place to live or resources to live.it is our moral obligation to do so. As a human who lives on earth, it is our responsibility to make sure that it is protected. We must give back to the future generation that what we have received and enjoying. Give them an environment that isn’t damaged and teach them how to continue living sustainably. I request all good souls to plant Banyan tree while making tree plantation. It will have a long lasting effect for mankind and go a long way in carry forwarding the nature to the next generation and will also give fruits useful for birds. Instagram Id : @nagendran_c4777. Planting of trees in a special occasion such as Birthday Wedding etc is a excellent gesture. It can be done in memory of our Parents, Teachers, Friends and also people who comes across in our life such as Doctors Nurses and health staff for their noble service to the society.
