As a white stone draws down the fish
she on the seafloor of the afternoon
draws down men's glances and their cruel wish
for love. Slyly her red lip on the spoon
slips-in a morsel of ice-cream; her hands
white as a milky stone, white submarine
fronds, sink with spread fingers, lean
along the table, carmined at the ends.
A cotton magnate, an important fish
with great eyepouches and a golden mouth
through the frail reefs of furniture swims out
and idling, suspended, stays to watch.
A crustacean old man clamped to his chair
sits coldly near her and might see
her charms through fissures where the eyes should be
or else his teeth are parted in a stare.
Captain on leave, a lean dark mackerel
lies in the offing, turns himself and looks
through currents of sound. The flat-eyed flatfish sucks
on a straw, staring from its repose, laxly.
And gallants in shoals swim up and lag,
circling and passing near the white attraction;
sometimes pausing, opening a conversation:
fish pause so to nibble or tug.
Now the ice-cream is finished,
is paid for. The fish swim off on business:
and she sits alone at the table, a white stone
useless except to a collector, a rich man.
Ring-billed Seagulls. The female is whining & circling the male. I had no idea that he held a present for her!

One of Greater Manchester Police’s dedicated anti-social behaviour vehicles at work on the streets of Stockport.
The Force recognises that anti-social behaviour can blight community life and is dedicated to effectively policing the problem.
The vehicle’s distinctive livery is designed to be a highly visible deterrent to would be culprits and they are fitted with video surveillance equipment.

By doing this capillary flow experiment in space we discovered several surprising mechanisms of fluid behaviour. Important for 1000s of industrial processes.

I am a nature lover and in my opinion the need to nurture and protect our natural world is more important then ever. Global warming, climate change and desertification, deforestation and habitat loss are destroying the natural balance and the very thing we all rely on to survive and for this reason all of the wildlife photos you will see this year will be taken on local walks and cycle rides and at no point will a poluting car be used to enjoy the natural beauty around us. At some point we need to think, intelligently, what our behaviours are causing to the world around us.
I have decided upon a number of local nature reserves, woods and habitats close to my home in Faversham and will be concentrating on exploring my local patch and getting right under its skin, to look and find the species that make my area so important and so interesting without adding to the ever worsening air pollution and destruction of our environment. So, I hope you will enjoy my non-polluting travels around the fragile but stunning Kent countryside.
Phill and I quite often split up when we go out photographing as we tend to go for different things. And quite often something unusual will have happened during his absence. So when he returns, I say "you never guess what you missed" and then show him the evidence. This was taken at Dungeness back in the summer and it is the second time he has 'missed' the action when he has been off photographing old buildings and boats down there. This is the second photoshoot I have seen there, so it must be a popular place used by agencies
See below for the last time I witnessed a photoshoot on the beach
These pics were part of a series taken at a distance from the shore at Burghead. We were watching juvenile gannets diving for fish when we saw this one touch down in the sea and attack a long tailed duck. It spent several minutes wrestling with its victim apparently trying to drown it. A second gannet swooped in taking the attacker by surprise. The duck was dropped but it was impossible to tell whether it escaped as it was never seen again.
Greater Manchester Police has praised the behaviour of visitors to Manchester during a weekend of sport in the city.
On Friday 20 May 2016, the Great City Games saw a number of athletes compete in various events on a purpose-built athletics arena in Albert Square and track on Deansgate.
The following day (21 May 2016) saw Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-1 to win the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium, with a number of fans watching the match in public venues throughout Greater Manchester.
The weekend extravaganza concluded on Sunday 22 May 2016 with over 30,000 lining up to take part in the Great Manchester Run before England defeated Turkey 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in a UEFA Euro 2016 warm-up match in the evening.
The events saw tens of thousands of visitors to the city centre, creating a buzzing and carnival-like atmosphere.
Assistant Chief Constable John O’Hare said: “This has been a fantastic weekend for Manchester and the atmosphere in the city has been superb from start to finish.
“It was great to see so many pictures of smiling faces and people having a good time and I hope everyone who has visited the city this weekend will be going away with some great memories.
“I would like to thank everyone who has played a key role in ensuring that the weekend has been successful.”

An especially long one this.
I've been stopped and questioned for around 20 mins this morning (01/04/09) under Code D of the PACE act. I received a 5090X form for the Police to "investigate suspected crime/disorder/anti-social behaviour".
My "suspected crime"? Taking this picture of the Royal Bank of Scotland building and a news crew outside. No police visible in the shot. Where's the crime?
Her'es the form they handed me, see if it makes sense to you? www.flickr.com/photos/piersmason/3410180254/

The Eurasian Wigeon is a medium-sized duck with large rounded head, small bill and pointed tail. The males has a russet head and neck with a creamy yellow crown and forehead. The breast is pinkish-grey, and the rest of the body is grey and white with a black stern. The female is a greyish brown colour with various mottled patterns. Speculum dull, dark.
This species grazes on coastal seagrass and algae, particularly on Zostera spp. and Enteromorpha spp., and also feeds regularly on grasslands and cereal crops.
The species is widespread in Ireland in winter where they occur on coastal marshes, freshwater and brackish lagoons, estuaries, bays. Many are found on inland wetlands, lakes, rivers and turloughs. The Icelandic breeding component of this population winters mostly in Ireland and western Britain, though some continue on to parts of continental Europe. (Birdwatch Ireland)
The species can be found in small numbers at the outflow to the water treatment facility in Poolbeg, Dublin Bay, during the winter months. This is a male bird foraging behind a fence at the base of the Great South Wall.
A rare commute to work today. In normal times I'd catch up and overtake slower moving cycle traffic - but COVID-19 has induced an attitude change. I hang back out of the riders 'exhaust/emission' zone.
This is a shared path.
