This looks more suspicious than it really was. These gentlemen were just taking shelter from a sudden heavy rainfall....
Couldn't have timed it better, pulled up the van just in time to watch this Barn Owl quartering this field, bagging a couple of shots into the bargain.

Challenging the dog to a little play.

Tally has a special way of walking up to Huxley to intice him to play with her. The photo on the bottom left captures it the best - hackles up just a touch, rear end wiggling, tail low and wagging and dainty little steps! Dog body language is so much fun to watch.
(They are wearing bandanas because it was a deer hunting day and we like them to wear something noticeable).
This is my cat, Spenser, dunking his cat biscuits. I like how he waits for the beep, to be sure it's ready. the other strange thing this cat does, is steal tea bags to make tea in his water bowl, but this time he's dunking in plain water.

Inappropriate behaviour walking the dog , innocence in the heart it lies..... I'm just chilling trying to make sense of the darkness that rides my mind like a wild bull ....
Breeding behaviour
Where possible, the birds excavate a nesting burrow into the soil. Sometimes they will make use of Manx shearwater or rabbit burrows. Where burrowing is not possible, the birds nest under boulders or in cracks and cavities in cliffs.
The birds defend the nesting site and its immediate surround, and use it in subsequent years. Puffins lay only a single egg, in late April or early May. Both parents incubate it for 36-45 days, and they share the feeding duties until the chick is ready to fledge.
The fledging period is very variable, ranging from 34 to 60 days, depending on the area and year.
Adult birds desert their young shortly before they are ready to leave the nest. The timing of the breeding in puffin colonies is highly synchronised, and so the departure of all adults takes place within a few days.
The young birds leave their nest burrow and make their way to the sea, normally under cover of darkness to avoid predators. In some colonies, for instance in Iceland, nearby bright lights confuse the young birds, which then fly into the light and end up on city streets.
Puffins usually reach breeding age at 5-6 years old, and often live for 20 years.
