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 ...

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.

"Predatory behaviour is the most dangerous behaviour in a black bear. Most human fatalities caused by black bears have been predatory situations. Predatory black bears do not necessarily make any threatening postures or sounds because they do not want you to flee. If undeterred, a predatory (black) bear proceeds to attack with the intent to kill..." Source: Bear Attacks by Erin McCloskey

Halloween 2013
It's been over month since my last photo. Way too much for me. Hope now, when I'm ok with situation, things will go better. Happy Halloween, Guys!
A real joy to finally meet the pair of pine marten kits whose antics have been entertaining me via my trail camera footage.
Whilst photographing the solitary Southern Black-Backed Gull a few days ago that was sitting on the side of the Hutt River, dozens upon dozens of Black-Backed Gulls swooped over-head and landed a little up-river from the loan bird.
It wasn't difficult to find them. They numbered in their hundreds and were sitting on a rock bank in the middle of the river! And this was obviously a very big catch-up session - one which even included Juveniles...!
After watching them from a discreet distance for about 10 minutes, one of the birds suddenly sounded an alarm (though I didn't hear anything unusual!), and the whole flock swarmed into the air, screaming in panic..! They circled once, and then all swooped back to exactly where they'd been a few seconds earlier, and carried on their respective conversations!
What interesting behaviour...!
(You'll have to view this in "Extra Large" format (Double-click the photo) to see this big flock in better detail).
Continue to keep well everyone, and a big "Thank You" for taking the time and the trouble to leave a Comment...! It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always greatly appreciated...!
