This is the second time Jaimie said he'd asked his friends, but none of them turned up. Instead he had to spend the evening with about 20 girls in cocktail dresses. Poor Jaimie.
Tuesday(3-5-2016) :- 7 year old Tomcat "Matata" demonstrating his daily "DEATH DEFYING" house gallery walks.He has copied this behaviour from his 9 year old dam "Matahari".I was lucky to film him this time in a sequence of cat walks including his final jump back to the house floor and not 5 floors to the ground outside the house. Viewers can get a idea of the height as he looks down wanting to pounce from the 5th floor onto his prey ! He is a total freak of the "Persian Breed" of cats for these reasons 1) He doesnt know how to mate 2) Has the jaws of a crocodile 3) a total violent cat who doesn't tolerate other cats and extremely shy of humans akin to a wild cat.4) If he has to be taken to a Vet then akin to a leopard he has to be tranquilized ! ? If our house was in Powai or Borivali (East) near the National park people seeing our house from the ground in the dark of the night could mistake him to be a leopard.Can't be handled and hence never exhibited him at the cat shows in Mumbai.I have given this detail bio-data of Matata for the benefit of other cat owner.CATS DON'T SUFFER FROM ACROPHOBIA LIKE MOST OF US HUMANS.

The Thread
"A thread" she stated, then disclosed
the worried rift within the prose.
Within the fray was pulled a thread
the question now, is where it led.
What's in her mind and up her sleeve?
He starts to bob, and she to weave.
The gate way's breached, she pulls a stride,
a virtual moment turns the tide.
The die is cast, escape gone by,
A web of thread done on the fly.
A willing victim to what was done?
Do you "mind control"?, "Are you having fun?"

Marsh Harrier (Female)
Circus aeruginosus
Cromán móna
Status: Has bred in Ireland. A scarce summer visitor to well-vegetated wetlands from March to September throughout Ireland. May occasionally overwinter.
Conservation Concern: Green-listed in Ireland. The European population is currently Secure.
Identification: About the same size as Hen Harrier and has similar behaviour. Adult male Marsh Harriers are very distinctive, having an all grey head and reddishy-brown body. In flight, large black patches can be seen on the primaries, with the rest of the wing mainly grey. Adult females are a dark brown colour, except for beige partches on the head and throat. In flight, they appear almost uniformly brown. Subadult Marsh Harriers are variable in appearance, though most resemble females.
Similar Species: Hen Harrier, Common Buzzard
Call: Generally silent when seen in Ireland.
Diet: Actively hunts for birds and small mammals in wetlands.
Breeding: Formerly bred in large reedbeds in Ireland. Single birds have been noted at several wetland sites throughout Ireland though these are almost always young non-breeding birds. Around 150 pairs of Marsh Harrier breed in the UK and this species is fairly common at wetland sites in Central and Eastern Europe.
Wintering: The European population is partially migratory. Some overwinter in western and southern Europe, while the majority move south to tropical Africa. Occasionally seen in winter at wetland sites in Ireland.
As the sun set, Plymouth harbour became the backdrop for the festival launch event. Legendary saxophonist Evan Parker played with Behaviour, a large group of performers playing invented instruments, laptops and more.

These geese were feeding in flotsam of a tideline way out there --- as we sometimes see Black Brant doing
This is my first time seeing SNGO doing this...
It was a bit of a surprise in the Scope
:)
I did a look in my best/most trusted references and could NOT see ANY references to SNGO feeding out in a marine environment over a couple of miles from shore
looked to be about 1/2 way or more ...the distance from Sidney to Sidney Spit...
but was N of the Spit from my view point
Sidney Spit is
9.7 km
6 miles

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.
Pretty tame compared to some of the risks I've taken in my life - what can I say, I'm a wild child at heart. ODC - Take a risk.
I was always very well behaved as a child and never asked for anything, I think that's why the following story has become almost legendary in our family! LOL
When I was 2 and we were on holiday I saw a doll buggy in a toy shop. It was a miniture replica of my own and I really wanted it tobe like my mum & push my baby doll around in. My parents were so surprised when I threw a tantrum (my only one ever) in the shop because I wanted the buggy so badly. They didn't give in to my tantrum then, but at the end of the week they did go back to the store & buy it for me. I didn't have any photos of the tantrum but this one was taken on that holiday. I've added the date & journaling in pen now that the details have been double checked with my parents.
