"Sunning" is thought to be an anti-parasite or anti-microbe treatment for feathers. These two Jackdaws on a rooftop show that it could work as a social bonding activity too.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is a specific type of CBT. It combines Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with mindfulness and other Eastern Meditation and Self-insight gaining practices. It helps in dealing with distressful emotions.
Puffins afloat, in flight and diving, on the Dorset coast off Dancing Ledge.
The eastern-most colony of puffins in the south of England I believe. Wish there were more of them.
Stummbled on these 3 hares in a field and had a great couple of hours filming and photgraphing these guys.
The Gilly suit was on for this as I didn't know how tolerant they would be of me. ISO was between 500-800 and F stop 4 - 5.6 on AV
To tackle the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, IOM Uganda has developed a Behaviour Change Campaign (BCC) to raise awareness not only on HIV/AIDS, but also sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies. The sites selected to launch this pilot campaign are the fishing villages of Kasensero, Lyantonde and a temporary site being utilized by migrants expelled from Tanzania at Sango Bay. The slogan of the campaign is “You and I can prevent HIV/AIDS” and all activities have been implemented in cooperation with the Ugandan health district officials.
Belle's Nativity (before she showed everyone her pants) Unfortunately, I held the camera the wrong way and haven't worked out how to rotate it, so be prepared for a crick in your neck.
When I first saw these flies, I thought they were mating, but on closer inspection, it seems the embrace was for a more sinister reason!!! The yellow fly (dungfly?) seemed to have caught the black fly, and I assume was going to eat it! Unfortunately the sun was very bright, and they were in a rotten fence post, so the angle was difficult, plus I had no tripod, and nothing to lean on... Anyway, enough moaning, ... at least my day was better than that of the black fly!

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.
The Act defines harassment in section 1(1) as a "course of conduct" amounting to harassment and provides by section 7(3) that a course of conduct must involve conduct on at least two occasions. (Originally these occasions needed to involve the same person, but in 2005 the act was amended by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act so that "pursuing a course of conduct" could mean approaching two people just once.[1]) If these requirements are satisfied, the claimant may pursue a civil remedy for damages for anxiety: section 3(2). The use of civil law, means that the standards of evidence are substantially lower than for criminal law, for example permitting hearsay.[1] The requirement of a course of conduct shows that Parliament was conscious that it might not be in the public interest to allow the law to be set in motion for one boorish incident.
Under this act the definition of harassment is behavior which causes alarm or distress. The Act provides for a jail sentence of up to six months or a fine. There are also a variety of civil remedies that can be used including awarding of damages, and restraining orders backed by the power of arrest
P1600753 - Ok the first shot is not that clear, but Mr Mallard had gone through a whole set of stuff to reach this pose. I liked it with the sun coming through the wing feathers.
So the story continues, if you remember www.flickr.com/photos/rustymarvin/5801319718/in/photostream Told you I had a headache
The reason for all this is I have never seen it before, I can now understand why they are call duck's. The myth of water of a duck's back doesn't seem to run true either.
Have a great weekend everyone

Well not yesterday, 2 years later and the success of the Ronson meets has meant that neither the venue or the facial expressions have changed.
