@ How to explain the Black Heron's hunting behaviour? @
The bird is mostly seen wading forward rather quickly in an upright position, stopping abruptly and, at the same time, stretching its wings forward over its head to form a canopy, a few centimetres above or sometimes touching the water surface. During this posture, which is only held for two or three seconds, foot-stirring under the canopy can clearly be seen in the majority of occasions. After folding back its wings, the egret again wades with agile steps before resuming the canopy posture.
The canopy-formation may eliminate reflections from the water surface, enabling the egret to see more easily into the water. But is this the sole advantage?

The regular Sunday Evening service at Hexham Community Church results in the complete blocking of the pavement. The large trailer which belongs to a charity is so close to the junction that pedestrians have to walk unseen into the main road.
This Air Jamaica plane was about 30 degrees off course. It made a dramatic dip and turn and bank - I swear, those passengers had to be frightened as hell. I was... since it headed right at me after turning! Act of terrorism and I have my camera, lovely... er, not.

Piccadilly - Safe4Summer.
The initiative is part of the Government’s mission to restore and strengthen local policing in communities and reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour (ASB). As part of this, there will be a greater visibility of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers and partners as we work together across crime hot spot areas.
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: "We’re determined to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer place for everyone. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is a testament to our dedication to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
“By continuing to work closely with our communities and partners, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and can enjoy not only the summer but all year round and every year. We’ll be working hard to ensure our town centres are safe and welcoming for all.”
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “Our neighbourhoods are negatively impacted by various crimes such as the illegal use of e-bikes, drug dealing and other ASB.
“As a force, it’s our mission to listen to our community’s concerns and take action where crime is committed. Our proactive approach to tackling neighbourhood crime has meant that since 2021, we’ve reduced burglary by a third and vehicle crime by a quarter, thanks to the dedication of our local neighbourhood teams, working closely with partners across the region.
“Over the summer months, they will be focusing on increasing engagement with our communities to listen and respond to their concerns. Residents and business owners will also see an increase in the visibility of officers and partners, as we work together to ensure a safe summer for all. This isn’t about trying to spoil people’s fun over the summer months, it is making sure everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling unsafe or being hurt.
“We welcome the Home Office initiative, which perfectly aligns to the neighbourhood policing model our force implemented locally two years ago. Safe4Summer is the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of our partnerships in Greater Manchester, and our determination to minimise crime and disorder and to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer and more desirable place for all.”
TravelSafe Partnership Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: “While the vast majority of people using the Bee Network do so safely and responsibly, we know that crime and anti-social behaviour increases over school holidays, and that is not something we will tolerate.
“We work hard every day to keep people safe, whether that’s through our engagement programme or the many proactive operations that take place. We will have an increased presence across the Bee Network to prevent and deter incidents, helping people to travel and enjoy their summer safely and with confidence.”
In 2023, Greater Manchester Police made a commitment that every district ward has a named local police officer, and we would keep communities informed through our use of the community messaging service, Bee in the Loop, which provides the latest news on events and incidents straight to your email inbox.
In April 2025, we welcomed the opportunity to further strengthen our neighbourhood offer, with an increase in numbers of neighbourhood officers by 176, to help GMP to continue to deliver in tackling crime and working with partners and communities to keep our streets safe.

"No accident" is designed to show that speeding causes crashes - drivers choose to exceed the speed limit, so a crash is "no accident", but the direct result of driver behaviour.

Public Lecture on "Changing Consumer Behaviour: Are We Becoming More Demanding?" by Professor Moira Clark, Director, Henley Centre for Customer Management on 25 February 2015
Based on the white tips on the tail, the small erectile crest and the general colouring, I think this is an immature Eastern Whipbird. It is extracting insects from rolled up, fallen bark at the top of the Golden Stairs on Narrow Neck.
The Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus) is an insectivorous passerine bird native to the east coast of Australia, its whip-crack call a familiar sound in forests of eastern Australia. Two subspecies are recognised. Heard much more often than seen, it is a dark olive-green and black in colour with a distinctive white cheek patch and crest. The male and female are similar in plumage. Juveniles are a duller olive-brown and lack the white cheek stripes and dark throat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Whipbird

Conversing with Keas:2
Kea have been studying humans from many angles for more than four centuries yet many questions remain unanswered. Most individuals are approachable with care but it is important to remember they are not pets or a tame species and are capable of unpredicably destructive behaviour.
Tara in breeding behaviour with birds bringing in fish and posturing as a way of impressing potential mates.
The white-fronted tern is the most common tern on the New Zealand coastline, at times occurring in flocks of many hundreds or even thousands of birds. It is mainly a marine species that is seldom found far from the coast. The name ‘white-fronted’ refers to the ‘frons’ or forehead, where a thin strip of white separates the black cap from the black bill. Most other ‘capped’ terns, including the black-fronted tern, have black caps that reach the bill when in breeding plumage. The scientific name striata refers to the finely-barred (striated) dorsal plumage of recently fledged white-fronted terns, as the original description and name was based on a juvenile bird painted by William Ellis, surgeon’s second mate on the Discovery, on Captain Cook’s third visit to New Zealand - www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz
