The 'Phantomhive' League:
In the last years of the Victorian era, a new league of extraordinary gentlemen was proposed. With many considerations for members to protect the imperial crown. One such was the 'Phantomhive' League, however certain behaviours of league members were considered too 'problematic' and this league was scrapped in consideration of the well known 'Murray league'
L to R:
Phileas Fogg (around the world in 80 days) an adventurer known for circumnavigating the globe in less than 80 days. Fogg would provide the league with transportation and navigation routes for their missions.
Alice Liddell (Alice in Wonderland/American McGee's Alice)
A young lady with a dark past, Alice has the ability to alter realities and travel to and from this world to her 'wonderland'. She has been in and out of asylums throughout her life. Gaining a rather unpredictable reputation.
Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler) The demon butler to the Earl Ciel Phantomhive. Sebastian made a Faustian contract with the young earl after the death of his parents. In return for serving and protecting Ciel, Sebastian would receive his soul once his quest for vengeance was completed. With superhuman capabilities, Sebastian is known to be 'One hell of a butler'.
Ciel Phantomhive (Black Butler) The Earl of Phantomhive manor and the 'Queen's guard dog' Ciel has worked tirelessly to serve the imperial crown and gain notoriety as the owner of a successful toy and confectionery company. Aided by his demon butler, Ciel hides the mark of his Faustian contract engraved on his eye behind an eyepatch. Cold, ruthless and calculating. Ciel would have been the leader of this fractured league.

THis fella flew back with bug and seemed to be using the hole in top of snag branch as a mortar (as in mortar & pestle) to arrange & pound away at to make ready to consume.

We in Greater Victoria had a nice "spell" of Lewis's with 2 individuals being observed ...and at least one present at location from Sept 20th thru Oct 4th 2019
This nice prolonged stay over is not at all typical for Greater Victoria in my experience
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready, be ready to get confused
And me and my hereafter
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour
But yet so, yet so irresistible
And me and my fear cannot
And there is no map uncertain
They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
Of human behaviour
Then all of a sudden turn happy
And they and my here after
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions
Is ever so, ever so satisfying
And they and my hero
And there is no map uncertain
Human behaviour, human behaviour

I was just about to take a picture of the male buzzard on a telegraph pole when he flew off - thought I'd missed my chance of a picture when he flew up onto the rocks behind beside his mate

It is very interesting to notice the differences in Puffin behaviour depending on whether or not they were hunted. In the case of not hunting, you could literally get in their face and get a frame filling shot without them blinking. At Flatey, I had to be a lot more careful. Patiently waiting, seeing one, walking slowly, camera firing, knowing that my "target" will fly off when I get too close.
At the same time, trying to get a decent picture composition. I put the Puffin to the right side to give visual room to start. The white specs of bird dumpings serve as a compositional counterpoint.
Lens of choice, of course, was the largest focal length I had at hand, in this case, my Sigma 70-200/2.8 with a 1.4x teleconverter, resulting at a focal length of 280mm. I chose the smallest aperture f4 for this, to get to use the shallow depth of field to separate the puffin from the fore- and background.
I strongly recommend to watch this picture using large black magic.
If you are interested, feel free to check out my whole Iceland set at my homepage, or rather the current state it is in. My favorites from there will get here onto flickr. Yes, I take proposals. :)
Gordon (my hubby) purchased a new lens last week (Sigma 135-400mm f4.5-5.6) so I thought I would sneak out while he was at work and take it out for a spin ...;)
I would have liked more light, but as I was just trying it out, I'm not too displeased with this result. (This is a juvenile Blue-faced Honeyeater)

Mr. Smee is Captain Hook's loyal first mate and henchman in Disney's Peter Pan (Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, 1953). However, Smee's bumbling behaviour often prevents him from being much help.
Unlike previous villain sidekicks, the filmmakers felt that Mr. Smee was the first sidekick to have a truly memorable part in the story. Animator Ollie Johnston was given the job to animate. Johnston once noted that Smee was one of his favorite characters to animate, as he wasn't just the villain's lackey, but a fully realised personality of his own in the story. Smee is always trying to keep up and wants to try to make everybody happy. In spite of serving a feared captain and being part of a crew of brutal pirates, Mr. Smee is, ultimately, a kind-hearted character. Even though he makes attempts to perform villainous acts, his gentle nature often gets in the way of this; his ultimate agenda usually focusing around keeping peace and some form of stability within Captain Hook's life. Overly eager to please, Smee can easily be described as a chronic bumbler and appears to have minimal intelligence, overall. Because of this, he often annoys Hook and often finds himself facing the latter's wrath. While Smee clearly fears Hook, mostly as a result of his dangerous temper, he has shown to be outrageously loyal, to the point of unabashedly jumping into action to protect the captain, specifically from the jaws of the crocodile, who is surprisingly docile when dealing with Smee. Aside from his loyalty and relationship with Hook, Smee was shown to have his own agendas throughout the original film, such as convincing Hook to leave Never Land as he, and the rest of the crew, long for the days of plundering the seven seas, which has been put to a halt as a result of Hook's obsession with killing Peter Pan. Notably, however, this stemmed from the harassment and threats from the crew, who saw Smee as a means to communicate with the captain, as the latter is far more tolerable of his first mate. Even so, Smee has shown to support the idea, for the "health and happiness" of the captain.
Smee is a diminutive, portly gentleman with an odd, hourglass-shaped head. He has shoulder-length, white hair (though the top of his head is bald) and thick, black eyebrows. His eyes are black and close-set, and they are often half-closed. His nose is round, large and pink, and the rest of his skin is slightly pink as well. In terms of attire, Smee wears what seem to be very simple, brown sandals, a short-sleeved shirt with alternating blue and white horizontal stripes and exposing his stomach, and blue shorts. He also wears half-moon glasses and a red stocking cap with a red pom-pom ornament on top. In one moment of the original film, he is shown to have a chest tattoo of a heart with a paper cloth over it that reads “Mother.” He initially doesn't seem to be much liked by the rest of the crew (though this may be solely due to their boredom from the captain's obsessive hunt for Peter Pan over actual pirating and that bullying Smee is merely to pressure him into personally convincing Hook to give up the search). At the beginning of the film, Smee comes out of the cabin, he wishes the Crew a good morning, but they angrily grab him by the shirt and tell him that there's nothing good about the morning because they're stuck on the island of Neverland and not pirating. Wishing to give up the quest for Peter Pan, they bully Smee into trying to persuade their Captain to comply with their demands to go back out to sea again (even though Smee himself was already wanting to give up the quest for the same reasons). Smee fails to help Hook forget about his obsession with Peter Pan so that the crew can go to sea like they wish. When Tick-Tock the Crocodile appears, Captain Hook becomes frightened and begs Smee to save him from the creature. Smee shoos off the animal and decides to soothe Hook with a shave. Soon, Peter appears with the Darling children, and Hook orders Smee to gather the crew for an attack.
Smee is later seen rowing a rowboat with Captain Hook and a captive Tiger Lily past the Mermaid Lagoon as they make their way to Skull Rock. Smee is fooled by Peter's imitation of Hook and begins to free the Indian Princess, before being corrected by the real Hook. As Hook uncovers Peter's identity, Peter offers Smee a pistol with the dare of trying to hit him. He misses, and instead, Smee apparently hits Hook, who turns out to be alive, much to Smee's joy, but Smee is forced to rescue Hook when he is being attacked by the crocodile. Captain Hook jumps onto Smee's rowboat and orders Smee to row for the ship before falling back into the water. Smee rows back to Jolly Roger himself, leaving Hook to frantically swim away from the pursuing crocodile. At some point, Smee learns of Tinker Bell's banishment through the talk from the crew and suggests to a now despondent Hook that they leave. His reasoning is that "an island with women trouble is no place for a respectable pirate". This gives Hook the idea to play on Tinker Bell's jealousy of Wendy. Smee captures Tinker Bell, and Hook is able to convince the fairy to reveal Peter Pan's hiding place (with help from a drunken Smee). Smee then accompanies Hook and assists in the capture of the children, especially after crying a bit with the other pirates, except Hook, over missing their mothers upon hearing Wendy singing to the boys about what mothers are. During the final battle, Smee quietly attempts to escape by going aboard a rowboat. As he lowers himself and the rowboat onto the sea, the rest of the pirate crew fall on the rowboat. He is last seen calling for Captain Hook, who swims past them as he tries to flee from the crocodile.

Grey Plover jumping the waves
Interesting behaviour, I watched it for 20min repeatedly being crashed by the waves and flying up over them to land back on the perch it chose, even though there were three posts behind it that the tide was lower and not being covered by the waves.
Can't run away from these, as we are human beings, with flesh and blood, constantly changing and growing.
Mood swings, reactions - all are connected. People who feel more, experience more, and feel more intense of each feeling than the others. People who feel less, experience less, intensity of feeling all feelings is lesser.
Feelings are selfish. Feelings are constant. Feelings are evolution.
Behaviours are reactions to feelings.
