The picture is from 1988. On this day I slaughtered 15 rabbits that had gone half-wild around our houses.
Found in Lower Slaughter Cotswolds.
Thought I would upload these five in on go to reduce the file a bit quicker,as I had forgotten about these.
One of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds, and one of the few brick buildings in this part of the world.
A mill is recorded in the Doomsday Book of 1086 on the site of the The Old Mill. In the 14th Century it had begun to be known as Slaughter Mill and by the 18th Century had become independent of the manorial estate.

The Slaughters Country Inn, Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire. Quite an unusual name for a village and country inn, doesn't sound very inviting. But it is one of the prettiest villages I have come across, very picture postcard material.
The name of the village of Lower Slaughter stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This quaint village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for it's unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.
The stream running through the village is crossed by two small bridges and the local attraction is a converted mill with original water wheel
The wonderful Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter (Slaughter comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Slough' meaning 'Muddy Place").

In 1448, the English marched towards Scottland to retailate against border incursions. They chose to set up camp between river Sark and Kirtle waterway. The battle started well with longbows hitting the Scots from afar until the Scotts charged and many British were drowned trying to escape.

In this case, a 'Slaughter' is a 'muddy place' - not that it's muddy here these days - the perfect Cotswold village!
The wonderful Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter (Slaughter comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Slough' meaning 'Muddy Place") - where low stone bridges cross the River Eye.
For centuries the Gkuthaarn and Kurtijar have lived in the Normanton area. They hunted across the wetlands, trapped fish in the shallows, held ceremonies, and resolved disputes in time honoured ways.
That changed in the mid 19th Century when European explorers wrote favourably of the Gulf region's pastoral opportunities. Normanton was soon established as a port town with coastal shipping skirting the wetlands on their trip up the river to the old wharf near the bridge.
A meatworks operated near Goose Lagoon from the 1890s to the early twentieth century. Although mainly slaughtering cattle for tallow it possibly contributed to the wetland's name as sheep grazing was attempted early on.
The alluvial plains of the Gulf are dotted with lagoons and shallow mounds know as Gilgai. Silt is deposited during floods and, during the dry season, soil commonly cracks and flakes. During high tides, salt water flows into some of the lagoons and low-lying areas.
The Mutton Hole Wetlands are 78km2, and form a part of the Gulf Plains which cover the equivalent of half the area of Victoria or Great Britain. They are the most accessible part of this fascinating region of winding rivers, floodplains, and waterholes.
Annual rainfall averages 911mm with most falling between January and March. Falls can exceed 250mm a day. Its feast or famine; the rest of the year it is virtually dry. By comparison Brisbane and Sydney average around 1200mm, but spread throughout the year.
With high rainfall and floodwaters pouring down the Norman River the area can quickly turn into a huge sheet of water. This area is sometimes several metres underwater.
Summer temperatures fluctuate around a steamy 30+ Degree C but average dry season temperatures range from 29 Degrees C during the day to 16 Degrees C at night.
The Wetlands may seem challenging for plant life but Coolibah (Eucalyptus microtheca) and Gutta Percha (Excoecaria parvifolia) dominate the woody higher ground. Along the lagoon shores numerous reeds and grasses flourish and on the salt flats you can find succulents like Tecticornia australasica. Over twenty different fish species have been recorded in the lagoons. The flathead catfish found in the 2008 wrt season was new to science. The wetlands are important nursery habitats for banana prawns and barramundi. Snakes, crocodiles, and wallabies also live in and around the lagoons and waterholes, with feral pigs and cats often found when food is abundant.
Over 120 species of birds call it home or use it seasonably as they travel across the world. The waters are home to many fishes and amphibians and on land wallabies, pigs, and dingoes roam.
Birds found in the Wetlands include:
The Apostle bird, that hand around in chattering flocks. Some say flocks of twelve are common, hence their name, but studies suggest smaller groups are normal.
Australian Bustards wander around grassy plains or in small flocks. One bush yarn recounts that old timers hunted them (which is now illegal) by wandering around them in a wide circle. The over inquisitive birds ring their own necks watching what is happening.
The Black Necked Stork is a stately stork bird also known as the Jabiru and stands about 1200mm high. They prefer a lone existence and enjoy a fish, frog, and carrion diet. They linger around the waterhole margins.
The Brolga has a red head and grey neck and bodies whereas the rare Sarus crane has aed extending down their neck. They often congregate together and dance. Sarus cranes are among the rarest cranes in the world with possibly only two thousand remaining. The Mutton Hole Wetlands is a breeding ground for both the Brolga and Sarus crane.
Double Bar Finch's flock enjoy seeding grasses. They enjoy frequent drinks and therefore keep close to the water.
The Great and Little Egrets perch in the trees around waterholes or wade through the shallows. The Great Egret stands about 800mm high while the Little Egret, with its black bill, is around 560mm.
Flocks of Magpie Geese honk noisily to one another while feeding or formation flying. A male may have two sisters as its partner. Their feet are only partially webbed, hence their scientific name: Anseranus semipalmata.
Pied Herons like the edges of waterholes and being around livestock. They enjoy an insect diet. Another name for them is the 'white headed egret', despite the fact the top of the head is a blue black.
Radjah Shelducks, also known as Burdekin ducks, are birds that have a dark band across the otherwise white upper breast. They are active feeders late in the date and dislike others invading their territory.
The Swamphen's big feet enable these distinctive birds to wander through dense reed beds. Their white undertail is often seen as it flicks its tail when altered.
The Pied Butcherbird frequents open country and is a stunning singer. Youngsters stay with their parents for around 18 months.
The Whimbrel arrives in Australia around August/September and leaves for Siberia in May, where it breeds, although some youngsters prefer to stay in Northern Australia. Whimbrels enjoy poking in muddy ground for worms and small shellfish.

One of Kentucky’s most beautiful waterfalls also happens to have one of the strangest names. I want to go back this fall to photograph the waterfall with some color
After about a year, I slaughtered my piggy bank. I regularly sort out 2 euro coins and 1, 2 and 5 cent coins and throw them into the piggy bank. I then take the coins to the Bundesbank and get notes in return.
Just guess what I get. It was actually an amount without a decimal point!
Nach ca. einem Jahr habe ich mein Sparschwein geschlachtet. Ich sortiere regelmäßig 2 Euro-Münzen und 1, 2 und 5 Cent-Münzen aus und werfe sie ins Sparschwein. Ich bringe die Münzen dann zur Bundesbank und bekomme dafür Scheine.
Tippt doch mal, was ich bekommen habe. Es war tatsächlich ein Betrag ohne Kommastelle!
I started off posting this sequence of photographs, taken on a recent visit to the Cotswolds, with a photograph taken in the beautiful village of Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire.
The image I wanted was a composition that included this Grade II listed 18th century clapper bridge, known as 'Up Stream Bridge'.
However, I seem to have arrived on a particularly busy day and there was a seemingly endless stream of visitors stopping on the bridge to take 'selfies'.
So, not being too far from where I was staying, I decided to head back later in the day and try again (an added bonus was a change in direction of the early evening sunshine).
