Location: Perak, Malaysia

Malay name: Baung Kenyeng, Baung Nyet-nyet

 

Etymology: Mystus: Greek, mystax = whiskered, used by Belon in 1553 to describe all fishes with whiskers (Ref. 45335).

 

It lives in slow-moving parts of rivers, migrating into flooded areas of forests during the wet season. It is usually found over soft substrates.

 

Behaviour: A somewhat robust species that can be territorial and aggressive depending on the temperament of the specimen. It should therefore not be housed with other territorial bottom dwellers. It will also eat smaller fish

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.

Great Tit taking a dip in a puddle amongst the silver birch trees, a dark well hidden area so not the best quality.

I observed this spider's strange behaviour - at least I've never seen it before.

 

Appeared in 'Explore' December 20th. 2017

Red Deer stag stands his ground, while I'm glad of the tree beside me.

A quick raid on the sunflower seeds for this Great Tit before a bossy female Bullfinch arrived, she wasn't for sharing.

Submissive behaviour between shown by juvenile towards his mother.

This was a fascinating encounter, as I watched the juvenile bounce out of the tall grass into the clearing where mum was lying. He then slunk down onto his belly and grovelled up to her from behind, whimpering, until she acknowledged him.. She then took his muuzzle in her mouth and the pair lay like that for some minutes, before she released her hold and he then came and lay beside her..

While driving to Saskatoon last June I had the fortune of coming across a pair of foxes that were playing in a field right next to their den...

Unfortunately I did not get to see any pups but this male decided to hang around outside the den (the female went in rather quickly after seeing me)...

He allowed me to get rather close (about 30 feet)... and at one time he decided to come and check me out and wondered over within about 15 feet of me, though he showed absolutely no agressive behaviour...

Over a 10 minute or so period I took over 100 shots and this is just one of them... taken when he was wondering over towards me... I am not sure of the meaning of the one ear up one down, but I thought it was a rather cute pose...

Interesting and intelligent behaviour displayed by this Herring Gull. It repeatedly flew up in the air with a shell, releasing it on to the rocky shore in order crack the shell and eat the contents.

I've always meant to seek out and shoot this Erratic boulder on top of Twisleton Scar, but time and conditions have tended to be against me. I set to put that right this weekend with a shoot late yesterday and again this morning. Thankfully for a brief while the conditions were with me on both occasions.
