I find this shot of the rather light coloured red deer stag quite amusing... I know why it's doing what it's doing but my 15 year old mindset can't help but think it's just being rather rude to the other deer!
This stallion is named Jetset Monarch and was released in the Wilverley area of The New Forest. A group of mares galloped past us being chased by him. I was lucky to get some shots as usually by the time you hear the galloping horses and get your camera ready they are gone.
Free grazing is provided for up to 30 stallions on the forest
These are inspected by five judges, who look at conformation, type and action/movement, as well as bloodlines.
For 2024, 20 stallions will be on the Forest between 7 May and will be in by 18 June. As always, please give them a wide berth, as all ponies’ behaviour during this time will be unpredictable.
I made an album cover for cactus island recordings.
This is an awesome compilation with beautiful music inside!
I'm very happy with this work, is very special to me and one of my song is on it.
Released: 16th february, close to valentines day ; )

This egret isn't taking off to fly it is jumping up and down, trying to drum up some lunch in the shallows of the estuary. I was mesmerized watching it run around in a circle, flapping and jumping from one spot to another. I have only ever seen them slowly 'stalking' their dinner. Sorry the photos are dark but it was a really grey day with little light.

Things are changing within the pride. The girls are growing up and because they are remaining at the zoo and not being moved to another zoo, they needed to be implanted so no inbreeding would occur.
This was the day that happened and Milo was far more concerned about his girls than Misty was.
Both Milo & Kiros walked by the den doors doing their low lion grunts.
It surprised me that the boys were more concerned than Misty the mum.
Juvenile Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) at Munson Pond, Kelowna, BC.
For Kingfisher fans only! If you love the bird sufficiently, you can overlook the image defects, of which the worst is graininess, inadequate focus. On the plus side, I hope you'll see some behaviours and poses that I had not previously recorded....
Another easy sighting, Follow Park Ranger's tip was; you will not miss them. There are so many of them. In this sighting counted about sixteen within ten meters. Very vocal, another reason for easy sighting. Spotted Br and non-Br together with some young.
Splendid Fairy-wren, Malurus splendens

The superb fairywren (Malurus cyaneus) is a passerine bird in the Australasian wren family, Maluridae, and is common and familiar across south-eastern Australia. It is a sedentary and territorial species, also exhibiting a high degree of sexual dimorphism; the male in breeding plumage has a striking bright blue forehead, ear coverts, mantle, and tail, with a black mask and black or dark blue throat. Non-breeding males, females and juveniles are predominantly grey-brown in colour; this gave the early impression that males were polygamous, as all dull-coloured birds were taken for females. Six subspecies groups are recognized: three larger and darker forms from Tasmania, Flinders and King Island respectively, and three smaller and paler forms from mainland Australia and Kangaroo Island.
Like other fairywrens, the superb fairywren is notable for several peculiar behavioural characteristics; the birds are socially monogamous and sexually promiscuous, meaning that although they form pairs between one male and one female, each partner will mate with other individuals and even assist in raising the young from such pairings. Male wrens pluck yellow petals and display them to females as part of a courtship display.
These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.
Photographing the wild mustangs in the Eastern Sierra, California, was an amazing experience. I continually felt that I was in their sacred place, and I felt privileged and honored to be there. I would have watched and photographed them all day.... but after a while the herd moved on, and so did I.

A mixed bag of a flock containing predominantly Black-tailed Godwit, with Eurasian Teal and Black-headed Gull thrown in for good measure. This was part of a low-tide feeding frenzy at Poolbeg in Dublin Bay recently.
Explored: 17 July 2017
This Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) was letting me know, in no uncertain terms, that I was not welcome anywhere near its nest, high up in a fir tree next to the road where I was standing. I'm not sure if this was the male or female of the pair, but both were there a month earlier, screaming at me while I photographed them. On this day the hawk was sitting on a new nest, built since my last visit and only a few treetops away from the old one.

Nature’s Superheroes: Life at the Limits
Life is full of unexpected wonders. Over billions of years, living things have evolved from simple cells into an awe-inspiring array of life forms—a spectacle of colours, textures, behaviours, specialized parts and exacting skills. Some species are familiar. But others are so amazing that they test the limits of our imagination.
No matter how extraordinary certain plants and animals seem to us, their unusual features often address the most ordinary of tasks: To reproduce, breathe and move around. To sense the world. To find food and safety. The living things you will see respond to these basic challenges in extremely inventive ways.
Black Guillemots / cepphus grylle. Oban, Scotland. 15/05/22.
I watched Black Guillemot courtship behaviour whilst pairs were swimming and also, when they flew to the top of the esplanade wall. The short displays were very intense and animated and I think would become more protracted as the month advanced.
The pair shown here had suddenly flown up from the sea and were vocalising to each other, beaks pointing slightly downwards. Moments later the male started a high-stepping walk around the female, his beak angled more acutely downwards. She immediately crouched submissively, but copulation didn't take place. It was early days for them and the behaviour more about strengthening their pair bond than procreation.
What a striking pair they made!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
These huge boulders are called glacial erratics ... dropped here like this eons ago when the glaciers that covered the island during the last ice age melted.
This is not really erratic behaviour for erratics, since it is not uncommon to find them perched in precarious places such as this. These are up on top of the Annieopsquotch Mountains. I have a photo on my photostream taken from the other side. A photo that really is an optical illusion. This one is a straight on photo taken just today.

During spring adders will engage in a behaviour known as the ‘dance of the adders’, this is when two adders rise up and sway back and forth with entwined bodies. This display is usually between two males combating for the scent of a female.

Remember my popular image underneath the pier??
Well, this is what I took later on. I was a little farther back, which is really too bad because you can't see as well the way that the water is misty and earily flat.
The only light here is the sodium vapor lights and the moon. The colors are exactly the colors that appeared on the slide. I like the crisscorssing partial-shadows on the ground, the yellow-and-black of the sand, and everything.
This is on Velvia 100. Pinhole told me that Velvia is a horible long-exposure slide film. The thing is, I've discovered that I like daylight balancing at night, where the sodium vapor shows its true golden nature. Velvia 100 has incredibly good reciprocity behaviour, more or less the same as Provia 100F. I have a number of night shots taken on it and I really like how they look. The fact that exposure must be right on with Velvia 100 doesn't really bother me much, because metering exposure on the a95 is about as strict.
Which is really not to say that Pinhole is wrong, more that after gathering an understanding of the situation, the properties of film, and why everybody says that Velvia is awful for night, I find that, at least for me, I can safely ignore the advice.
I basicly metered this by taking a ISO 400 exposure on the a95 and extrapolated from there. It's about 9 or 10 minutes at somewhere between f/5.6 and f/8... I wasn't keeping too good of records on this roll. As all of my slide shots, pretty much, were shot, this was done on my old mechanical film SLR and a 50mm lens.
The nice thing is that I can blow this one up much bigger than a picture taken on the a95. I printed out a 16x20 and it's absolutely stunning.
Oh yes, and because it takes so long for each exposure, I only took one shot from this angle -- no bracketing!
Another from yesterdays visit to Priddy Mineries with quite a bit of cloud and a gentle breeze, managed to find a fairly sheltered spot and after a quick look around found a few Cinnabar moth caterpillars on a couple of Ragworts.
I noticed these two were in the right position to get both in focus though the head of the one on the left is slightly out of focus as it just wouldn't stop eating!!
Best viewed very large.

The Variable Damselfly, or Variable Bluet, can be very tricky to sex in the field. Despite its name, it is not the only blue damselfly prone to variable patterning. Its behaviour is much like that of the Azure Damselfly; it usually stays close to vegetation. Immatures are often found in adjacent meadows or uncut grassy areas.
On a male Variable Damselfly, the black markings form a goblet - a 'U' shape joined to the black band by a line, like the stem of a wine glass. This male was one of many seen at Ham Wall nature reserve on 7th June 2021.
