I was surprised to see this little spider still active in mid-winter but understandably doing it's best to find shelter. I guess it's relatively warm in the canopy of a sunlit beech tree leaf. Who knows what it's finding to eat to keep it going?

 

I'll tentatively identify it as a Common Stretch Spider (Tetragnatha extensa). When I disturbed it, it moved underneath a narrow branch and was very well hidden with it's legs stretched out in a straight line.

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.

I'd never seen this behaviour before, but it's probably quite common for this bird. It hammered the trunk just like a little woodpecker (same family) and then bent down to listen for the bugs moving inside and eventually caught something. Very difficult shooting through branches and out of the hide's side window, crouching uncomfortably low for me, so not the best shots.

 

Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!

Quite frankly, I am quite fed up with the discussions and negative connotations associated with “baiting” (which in itself is a dumbass term). I am also fed up with the pompous and self-righteous smugness of the tree huggers and do gooders who sit in judgment, ready to crucify those who have the balls to admit that they “bait”.

 

For the record, these Buntings are “baited”. Sure, I could have chased these birds all over the county trying to get a pic, - but lazy in nature, it was easier to put a little cracked corn and a few perches on a snow bank, and from the comfort of the Wrangler wait for the birds to arrive. Fortunately for me, Buntings eat seed and not rats or rabbits. Now if you feel all bent out of shape that I “baited” these birds, spank me or go pound salt – don’t care.

 

In the grip of an Arctic-freaking-Vortex, frigid temperatures and snow up to the armpits, these Buntings are here on a search for food. Who am I to deny them that privilege? Now I have heard a lot of scientific gobble-de-gook about behavioural changes and dependency, but the reality is that birds (like humans) are opportunists. I can assure you that when the urge to procreate runs rampant, they will all be back on the bus headed north! Until then, I will continue to “FEED” them.

 

Oh, and whatever happened to global warming.

I love this picture..

It doesn't look much like an ant, although it behaves like one.

Happy Arachtober 14!

Emotions and Expressions- Curiosity

There were lots of bees and wasps on the sunny side of a fountain. I presume they were eating the algae that was growing at the edge of the water rather than drinking the water. Thanks for your comments - so they are drinking the water then.

Witnessed both feeding behaviours of this beautiful finch today. First the "gatherer" mode finding seeds on the ground; and at sundown, the "hunter" mode... taking insects in flight over water. What a spectacular aviator!
