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
This Robin seemed a little nervous, not sure if it was another rival or a Sparrow Hawk that has been known to visit the area.
The grass is greener on the other side. Actually there is almost no green grass around since we have not had rain for months!!! Anise checks out the sheep that will keep her company while she's at the farm.

Rassi is a very social cat - He loves attention!!
(I stuck my hand in the picture so I could use it for 365, if I needed to, LOL!!)
Strange behaviour from this harrier as it sat on the post . Not a sound was made, so I made my own dialogue. " The Flash cannot save you , puny human ! " ( Add evil laugh here).
The hole in the soil was made by voles intent on stripping the covering from my car's central controller (allows the roof to fold down and rise, also the windows to go up and down!). Only cost me £500 to replace ;'-0
Anyway ... the wasp appeared to be digging in a new direction ... wonder if it was nesting? Strange!
A diptych of a couple of rather distant shots of a Great White Egret being mobbed by a Black-headed Gull at Moor Green Lakes. I think the egret was minding its own business, but I guess the gull's instinct is to view it as a potential predator.
Our neighbouring horses do a bit of mutual grooming. I find it fascinating how they decide to do this.

Behaving to type and following a leader. Sheep are sheared at this time of year to avoid heatstroke and combat parasites. I’m sure ewe knew that already.

I watched a Fries goby dance around the mud in 25m of water in Loch Fyne creating this pattern in an attempt to attract a mate. Its the first time I noticed this unusual behaviour. There is a slender seapen in the bottom right hand corner and at one oclock to act as a sense of scale. The image is a plan view the central bit is slightly raised. Unfortunately the fish noticed I was watching and soon disappeared into a hole
There were lots of bees and wasps on the sunny side of a fountain. I presume they were eating the algae that was growing at the edge of the water rather than drinking the water. Thanks for your comments - so they are drinking the water then.

Here are some photos from my trip to Donna Nook, November 2009. Donna Nook is a place about 20 miles south of Grimsby, Lincolnshire UK on the North Sea coast. Grey Seals come ashore in large numbers to mate and give birth to live young. I've photographed a a few different aspects of seal behaviour.
Aggressive behaviour
This is one of my favourite photos. What do you think of it?

Fair question! I suppose I'm looking at a ruddy turnstone. Sure, I've seen them before. They were all wild, living off their wits, spread out.
Here there are flocks. Not just flocks. Flocks of habituated urban birds scrabbling for crumbs; scraps of a livelihood. I'm cautious of them about my feet they are so ingenuous.
I can't say I like this experience. I don't suppose these birds were trained for this lifestyle. Instead they've likely evolved behaviours; adapting to the economy of scrounging in a tourist-popular fishing port. They don't add to the scene in the way they do on a wild coast.
Oh well, this is another thing to note down and move on. I have St Ives for a short while and I'm not keen to waste it on what were once shorebirds.
