The mating behaviour of avocets is very elegant. Initially both birds can be seen preening vigorously, then the female lowers her head, stretches it low over the water and stands almost motionless..Having bred successfully they will be faithful to the site in subsequent years. Pair-bonds are maintained only for the duration of breeding season and break up by the time winter flocks gather.
Avocets nest in loose colonies of up to 150 pairs. Colony size and density are determined by availability of suitable nest sites, distance to water and risk of predation. The nest, built by both sexes, is a shallow scrape on bare mud or in sparse vegetation, even in shallow water, and is composed of short pieces of stems, roots, and leaves of marsh vegetation
Good numbers of Avocets back @ Snettisham. They were working the mudflats as the tide went out, instead of their usual feeding behaviour of sweeping bill through shallow water
If you’ve been the victim of abusive or threatening behaviour by someone near your home or when you're out and about it may be harassment. There are different things you can do if you’re being harassed.
Harassment is both a criminal offence and a civil action under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
This means that someone can be prosecuted in the criminal courts if they harass you. It also means you can take action against the person in the civil courts.

If you’re being harassed and you feel you're in danger you can contact the police.
If you think you’re being harassed because of your disability, race, religion, transgender identity or sexual orientation, you can report the harassment to the police as a hate incident or crime.
You can find details of your local police station on the Police.UK
Not sure if this is part of a courtship process but one Magpie started by standing flapping its wings before going over to the other where it looked like they were transfering food. Not sure if there was any food as the one on the right had been drinking out of a puddle.

Possibly an undocumented behaviour, this staphylinid beetle is raising its gaster and exposing it to passing army ants in a raiding column. The ants appear to 'taste' the exposed abdomen, before moving on and disregarding the rove beetle. This is potentially the evolutionary precursor to those staphylinid beetle species which have developed a myrmecophilous relationship with army ants. NB. To test the effectiveness of the biochemical mimicry, I placed the rove beetle amongst the raiding column and after some curiosity it was torn apart. It appears that the mimicry to be effective must be directed ie. the ants must be exposed specifically to the abdomen, and possibly only in small numbers, hence the need for the beetle choose a perch with relatively restrictive access.

Went today to this park so beautiful just between Beckenham & Bromley with its park area and its amazing 2 square miles of woodland and its wild walks. Got this shot of the 2 robins just before a hot brew and cake its a cracker mum feeding its mature chick, they must be early this year.
Police behaviour in the 80's... When I traveled to France for the first time as a young high school student, one of the things I noticed was how different the relationship between law enforcement and the people was. In Denmark, the police were like the friendly parent who nicely told you that now you had become too drunk and had to find a bus home. Street musicians got a long string, and were often considered something positive in the shopping district. In Paris, on the other hand, there was no eye contact, and the musicians I followed were not only thrown away from Pompidou Square, but subsequently also thrown away from the nearby neighborhood. And I who thought that Paris was all about art and love ...
Strøget, Copenhagen, 1980's.
I never actually said I was a Quester.
I thought I was going to Book Club.
There were maps. There were dragons. There was talk of the Mire of Misery and the Chasm of Despair, and somewhere around “unfathomable map” I realized I may have seriously misunderstood the invitation.
Still, our résumé isn't entirely hopeless.
We recently outran a giant.
I ate my vegetables.
And apparently, while I was busy trying to understand Quest jargon, Ruckus had been off getting acquainted with the boys.
Rather successfully, as it turned out.
Perhaps a little too successfully.
“Ruckus... is that his watch?”
Silence.
“Give it back.”
More silence.
Eventually one small paw stretched reluctantly across the table.
The watch was returned.
The redheaded gentleman seemed remarkably good-natured about the whole thing.
I smiled apologetically.
Ruckus did not.
And so began our first day on The Quest.
I have absolutely no idea where we're going.
But I have started checking Ruckus's pockets.
Frequently. 😂❤️
Since they are often "frozen" still in "don't detect me" mode , it is always enjoyable to see them just carrying on "being snipe". Moreso if there are more of them.

This species is not known for their gatherings mostly because they are so cryptically shy & camouflaged
This location was a stake out for a local rarity a Black Phoebe...which i did not see on this occasion but the snipe obs were great

Quickest way to "find" a helicopter is to try to do a video or audio clip..?
