I've been trying to get a shot of this behaviour the last couple of days - bear with me...
I'd noticed that wasps love thistles but looking closer what they actually look like they're doing is slowly but surely chewing through the stems just under flowers that are going over, dead-heading them if you like (you can just about make out where the stem is mostly cut through in this) and they then really seem to love the sap/fibres in the cut stem.
Odd behaviour of Ring-billed Gull.... my friend Penny told me one day that she had seen Gulls feeding on berry trees. I thought it was strange. So next time I was in that area for other wildlife, I remembered about this and watched them for a while. They sure have a hard time standing on a branch and they do like berries too.
We had a lovely day out with friends today at a local farm. Last time the children were rather startled by the livestock, but today they had a fab time!
Took a few attempts but eventually got this one diving, many of a splash and just the tail feathers .

Just managed to find a gap in the reeds but no fish this time for this Common Tern.

Spotting another Snowy Owl flying nearby this snowy lets out a loud screech. I believe they are quite territorial. Late day sunshine.
Thank you for viewing.

An excerpt: Sometimes, emotions can really misguide you. Emotions should be intact with intellectualism. If the intellect is separated from emotions, you are in trouble.
That what looks like white smudges are in fact hares hiding behind the columns, sparing themselves from the harsh wind. Smart creatures
During a recent visit to Lake Panic in the Kruger National Park we noticed a Goliath Heron Ardea goliath and a Grey Heron Ardea cinerea nesting together. The Goliath Heron would fly down from the nest to collect twigs which were then presented to the Grey Heron. They exhibited what would seem courtship behaviour and the Goliath Heron also got on top of the Grey Heron as if to mate. They repeated this behaviour over a number of days.
Comment from bird behaviourists would be appreciated as we think this is unusual behaviour.

McDonalds are open to drive-thru customers, but closed to sit customers. So many will park up and eat in the car park. The seagulls aren't daft. They have learnt to scavenge, or maybe some people have been feeding them.
The birds with black head are called black-headed gulls.
When having a rest in between all the swooping and aerobatics of their courtship displays the lapwings on the moors between Buxton and Macclesfield like to perch by the side of the Cat and Fiddle road to watch the Sunday cyclists sweat (uphill) or streak (downhill) by.
I'm always fascinated by observing human behaviour, particularly how it varies across cultures. It struck me that certain postures are more prevalent in specific regions. For instance, squatting is a common resting position in many parts of Asia and Africa. Yet, it's far less common in Europe, where people typically sit on chairs, and many struggle to even get into a squat.
Interestingly, I've identified another global posture that transcends cultural boundaries: the phone hunch. No matter where you go, you'll see people hunched over their smartphones, engrossed in the digital world. This modern posture is a testament to our universal connection to technology, yet it also serves as a reminder of the physical impact our digital habits have on our bodies.
