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
I decided to try the scanner on my printer, to scan my slides from 18.5 years ago(!!) when I was lucky enough to work in the Antarctic. No doubt my slides will have degraded in that time, but the bigger problem is that I'd bought a completely manual SLR and didn't really know what I was doing, so scanning these slides could turn into quite a disappointing exercise: (in the voice of Jim Bowen) `Let's take a look at what you could have got ... if you'd have known how to use your camera!'. I think I'll get away with an arty feel for some of them, at least :D, and it'll bring back some lovely memories. Even though, technically, this is just a `blurry mess', I quite like it!
This is one of the first king penguins I met, at Stromness Bay on South Georgia, shaking its head.

The Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca) is a large shorebird in the family Scolopacidae. It breeds in central Canada and southern Alaska and winters in southern North America, Central America, the West Indies and South America.
The greater yellowlegs is similar in appearance to the smaller lesser yellowlegs. Its closest relative, however, is the greenshank, which together with the spotted redshank form a close-knit group.
Adults have long yellow legs and a long, thin, dark bill which has a slight upward curve and is longer than the head. The body is grey-brown on top and white underneath; the neck and breast are streaked with dark brown. The rump is white. It ranges in length from 29 to 40 cm (11 to 16 in) and in weight from 111 to 250 g (3.9 to 8.8 oz). Wingspan is 23.6 in (60 cm).
These birds forage in shallow water, sometimes using their bills to stir up the water. They mainly eat insects and small fish, as well as crustaceans, marine worms, frogs, seeds and berries. (wikipedia)
This is Ireland's 16th record of this fantastic wader, so an incredibly rare bird here. It is the first time I have ever seen the species anywhere, so I was thrilled to see it so well. What an amazing find by Stephen Delaney. I wonder is it the same bird seen earlier in the year in Co. Kildare?
A small group of Oystercatchers flew overhead and were showing signs of coming in for a landing in this spot, yelling continuously. These two were having none of it, and responded by doing some yelling of their own, repeatedly alternating between holding their heads high and then bowing down. The small flock went away after much screeching and never did land here.

Younger bird foraging in field out near YYJ parking/car rental area
In winter we see many GBHE looking for prey in fields
but not so much in summer - and even less so immature birds
Perhaps this one has had success in this particular field although it did not catch anything while i was watching

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 ...

Waved albatross in the Galapagos performing their mating rituals which includes vociferous clacking of beaks.
A fair distance away on a misty morning but nice to see the Cattle Egret in amongst the Highland Cattle.
The strangest aspect of hamerkop behaviour is the huge nest, sometimes more than 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) across, comprising perhaps 10,000 sticks and strong enough to support a man's weight. The birds decorate the outside with any bright-coloured objects they can find. When possible, they build the nest in the fork of a tree, often over water, but if necessary they build on a bank, a cliff, a human-built wall or dam, or on the ground. A pair starts by making a platform of sticks held together with mud, then builds walls and a domed roof. A mud-plastered entrance 13–18 centimetres (5.1–7.1 in) wide in the bottom leads through a tunnel up to 60 centimetres (24 in) long to a nesting chamber big enough for the parents and young.
These birds are compulsive nest builders, constructing three to five nests per year whether they are breeding or not.
Quite a commotion we walked into as these young owls were being harassed by a group of vocal blue jays. The three owlets were flying from tree to tree and then two onto this branch which allowed a couple of quick shots through the leaves.
Thank you for viewing.
