By no means a technically perfect image but it does show nicely the behaviour of Spotted Flycatchers. I think the bird being fed is actually the female and not a juv.
I wonder what moron decided that nicking this from Sainsbury's and dumping this in the River Lark was a good idea?
Anna Livia, locally known as The Floozy In The Jacuzzi, is a bronze statue now located in the Croppies Memorial Park in Dublin. It was initially located close to MacDonalds on O’Connell Street but in 2001 the statue was removed from O'Connell Street because it did not fit with the planned redevelopment of the area. In late February 2011, partly reworked and refurbished, the statue was relocated to the Croppies Memorial Park next to the Liffey, near Heuston station.
Eamonn O'Doherty's sculpture is based on the character of Anna Livia Plurabelle, who features in James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' as an anthropomorphic representation of the River Liffey. Eamonn O'Doherty said that although he had not wanted the statue removed from O'Connell Street he was pleased with her final destination "This little park is a perfect setting for her. She looks absolutely great," he said. Well I sure that Eamonn is going to be disappointed if he ever decides to visit his creation because the public now has no access to the park which has been closed as a result of anti-social behaviour.
Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!

It's a mayfly... but which?

As I was watering the garden the other day I noticed this little fellow nearby, and when I looked closer, I saw he was holding a drop of water. I didn't know spiders did that. Not the sharpest shot; hard to shoot macro when the wind is blowing the web, but I couldn't resist the shot of him holding that drop of water.
As spotted in one of our local Morrisons. Little Thomas was desparate for a wiz, we opened the door with some trepidation, an had to fumble our way with a feckless dark blue strip light being less than useless.
I suppose, yes, one way of stopping 'unsociable behaviour' (take your pick) would be to turn all the chuffing lights out.
I like this girl sporting this hairstyle. I had her hair original, loose, tied up in a ponytail and I think this one suits her best. I liked the original idea, but for me the hair was a little too thin or too long for such a hairstyle.

I was watching this young Eastern Kingbird out hunting his dinner. What he did next was something I have never seen a flycatcher do - he picked a choke cherry!
No idea what is happening here ?

Just found this Andrena bee on a daisy flower. It was the only bee around and didn't fly away when I approached. I've learned that this behaviour can sometimes suggest that the bee is stylopised.
Stylops flies parasitise solitary bees (and other insects). The adults develop inside the bee and then protrude from between the bee's abdominal segments. The female Stylops remain in the bee and have the appearance of flattened maggots. The males pupate and then emerge from the pupa as a flying form. This bee seems to have two male Stylops flies in-situ.
Interesting behaviour from some Ichneumon wasps of the Campopleginae seen on the redcurrant bush in the garden. Two were in cop when a second male flew in and wanted to take over. A tussle occurred resulting in the incomer usurping the first male. Further tussles, and then a third male arrived as seen in preceding video clip. Additional pictures below form an action sequence.

Everytime I throw some food on the ground, they pick them up, hop on the birdbath, dip it in the water to make it soft, and then eat it. It's so interesting to watch their funny behaviour like this. Because of this, the birdbath gets dirty with food quickly... I have to change water frequently..
Taken after the Harlot talk/pub, but before midnight, April 1st 2008 as part of "inexplicable knitter behaviour" day.
I swear I heard Steph say "anyone who ignored the 'horse' part, and mounts a police officer: automatic first place in the freestyle category".
I fled the bar in search of an obliging man in blue. Couldn't find any cops roaming the street, but remembered this one at the Police Union on College.
We approached with caution... is mounting a police statue a crime? We only had a chance to snap two quick photos before a security vehicle drove by and beeped at us!
But I think he looks very fetching with my GoKnit pouch on his wrist, don't you...? :)
A key milestone in the UCD Medicine academic programme, our Clinical Commencement 'White Coat' Ceremony 2018 took place on Friday 9th February 2018 at UCD O'Reilly Hall.
The Clinical Commencement Ceremony marks the transition from a predominantly preclinical medical education focus to an intensive period of clinical training. The White Coat symbolise the professional responsibilities that students will assume throughout their clinical life. During the ceremony, the students were reminded to always maintain professional attitudes and behaviours in work and in relationships with classmates, teachers, patients and the community and to commit to follow ethical and professional standards of the profession.
