Greater Manchester’s Community Safety Partners are working together to tackle anti-social behaviour during the summer months to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.
During the summer holidays there may be temptation for young people to get involved in activities that can seem like harmless fun, but often they can carry serious consequences. Safe4Summer aims to ensure young people can relax and enjoy their holidays in the safest way possible for themselves and for others.
Police are also urging the community to help make their local area a safer and more enjoyable place to live, and are asking parents and guardians to maintain a line of communication when their children are out and about during the school holidays.
Detective Superintendent Chris Downey of Greater Manchester Police said: “The holidays are a chance for young people to have a break and unwind, but it’s important to remember that there are many other people who will be enjoying activities and events and we are urging everyone to be socially responsible this summer.
“We will be working with partner agencies to deliver activities for young people but I also want to appeal to parents and guardians to take an active interest in where their children are and what they are doing. We want everyone to have a great summer but a safe one too.”
Summer is also a great time for young people to get out and explore our city-region on public transport, and the TravelSafe Partnership (TSP) will be working to keep young people, and the wider public, safe and secure. There will be teams of officers and staff patrolling the networks to provide help and assistance, as well as working to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour.
Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Bev Hughes, said: “As we continue to work together to protect young people in Greater Manchester, this year’s Safe4Summer campaign will educate and encourage our young people to keep themselves safe from a number of factors – including crime.
“We want young people to enjoy the summer months, and that also means being aware of the risks and consequences if things get out of hand. I also encourage parents to work with us – please keep an eye on your children and help us make this summer a safe one for everyone.”
Area Manager Damian O’Rourke from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: “We are really pleased to be working with Greater Manchester Police and other organisations across the city-region again this year for our joint campaign, Safe4Summer.
“This year to help keep our young people safe we are focussing on a number of key themes, including water safety and deliberate fires involving young people.
“We don’t want to stop people having fun over the summer months, however, safety is paramount so we want to remind young people, and their parents and carers, of the dangers associated with our water ways.
“As the warmer weather approaches we urge you to take care when out and about around canals – such as those in Manchester City Centre, which have sadly claimed too many lives already. Please don’t walk alone along canals and always try and plan your journey home at the start of your night out.”
For information regarding activities for families and young people are happening in your local area visit www.safe4summer.com
The wider community are asked to be proactive in reporting any instances of anti-social behaviour to police on 101 or via the live chat function on the GMP website. Always dial 999 in an emergency.
Young people aged 5-16 have until 31 August 2019 to take part in our competition for a chance to win an iPad. Get involved at www.safe4summer.com

A notice on a tree next to the bear rescue centre says 'no poaching'. I wonder how many poachers will admit that they are poaching? Ang again, another of those signs regarding the dress code. It's sad how grown, adult humans have to be taught everything, including how to dress decently in public. (Luang Prabang, Laos/ Lao PDR, April 2014)

I'm a young photographer who knows he has to learn a lot.
But to get better I would love to hear some feedback!
So take a minute and tell me what I could have done better,
things you don't like, things you like and whatever comes to your mind.
I won't get better without knowing what people think about my pictures.
The flehmen behaviour, inhaling air and curling of the upper lip, facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ located above the roof of the mouth via a duct which exits just behind the front teeth of the animal. This activates the vomeronasal organ and enables oestrus detection.
Here the bull is testing the air to determine if his selected cow is ready for him.
In the Rut, male bison (bulls) find a female who is close to Estrus and stay by her side (tend her) until she is ready to mate. The bull will protect her from other bulls if he can until she is ready to mate. He will bellow to discourage other males, and also try to hide her from other bulls by standing between the cow and another bull. After mating, he will then leave her to find another cow. (Bison bison)

My mate Steve Gibson picked me up at the unearthly hour of 04.00 am, following which we arrived on the Welsh Moors at about 05.30 on a Windy March Tuesday morning. Just before day break, like something from another planet, the air was filled with the strangest gurgling, rasping and spitting noises, as half a dozen male black grouse entered their lecking arena some 200m away.
Not a female bird was insight, nevertheless the males continued their threatening behavioural dances against one another, a remarkable sight that I will never forget..
This took place against a backdrop of grey skies, which from this distance made photographing the birds difficult. Shortly a photographer next to us in a 4x4 decided to get out of his vehicle, scattering these impressive birds back over the Moors.
Our visit was completed with great views of grey partridge, stonechat, a great grey shrike, common buzzard, raven and our first views of Northern Wheatear for this season.

Loopy Lass spotted a pair of siskins on our garden feeders and wanted to know what the female was fluttering her wings for. I said it was bonding behaviour and she was encouraging the male to feed her. We both got a bit of video of the two of them this morning. The first bit of footage is Loopy Lass's (she can't hold the camera still when she's filming 😁). They're such pretty little birds, aren't they?
A combination of sunshine emerging through a light misty rain has given this kereru's feathers a special sparkling quality.

Kereru, the New Zealand Pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) is a bird endemic to New Zealand. Māori call it Kererū in most of the country but kūkupa and kūkū in some parts of the North Island, particularly in Northland. New Zealand pigeons are commonly called wood pigeons but are not the same as the Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) which is a member of a different genus.
The kererū belongs to the family Columbidae, and the subfamily Treroninae, which is found throughout Southeast Asia, Malaya, Africa and New Zealand. The members of this subfamily feed largely on fruits, mainly drupes. New Zealand Pigeons are members of the pigeon genus Hemiphaga (Bonaparte, 1854), which is endemic to the New Zealand archipelago and Norfolk Island. However recently a Hemiphaga bone was found on Raoul Island. The Parea or Chatham Island Pigeon (Hemiphaga chathamensis) is traditionally considered a subspecies of the Kererū, but is here treated as a separate species.
The New Zealand Pigeon is a large (550 to 850 g) arboreal fruit-pigeon found in forests from Northland to Stewart Island/Rakiura, ranging in habitats from coastal to montane. The general morphology is that of a typical pigeon, in that it has a relatively small head, a straight soft-based bill and loosely attached feathers. It also displays typical pigeon behaviour, which includes drinking by suction, a wing-threat display, hitting with the wing when threatened, a diving display flight, a ‘bowing’ display, ritualised preening and ‘billing’ during courtship. New Zealand Pigeons build flimsy, shallow, twiggy nests and feed crop milk to hatchlings.
The New Zealand Pigeon grows to some 51 cm (20 inches) in length and 650 g in weight. The head, throat and wings are generally a shiny green-purple colour, but with a bronze tinge to the feathers. The breast is typically white and the bill red with an orange-ish tip. The feet and eyes are red. Juveniles have a similar colouration but are generally paler with dull colours for the beak, eyes and feet and a shorter tail.
The New Zealand Pigeons make occasional soft coo sounds (hence the onomatopoeic names), and their wings make a very distinctive "whooshing" sound as they fly. The bird's flight is also very distinctive. Birds will often ascend slowly before making impressively steep parabolic dives; it is thought that this behaviour is often associated with nesting, or nest failure
The New Zealand Pigeons are commonly regarded as frugivorous, primarily eating fruits from native trees. They play an important ecological role, as they are the only birds capable of eating the largest native fruits and drupes (those with smallest diameter greater than 1 cm), such as those of the taraire, and thus spreading the seeds intact. While fruit comprises the major part of their diets, the New Zealand Pigeon also browses on leaves and buds, especially nitrogen rich foliage during breeding. One of their favorite leaves to eat is from an introduced plant, the common plum tree. The diet changes seasonally as the availability of fruit changes, and leaves can comprise the major part of the diet at certain times of the year, such as when there is little fruit around.
Breeding generally depends on the occurrence of ripe fruit, which varies seasonally, annually (good years and bad years), and by location. New Zealand Pigeons, like other frugivorous pigeons, feed on many species with tropical affinities, including the Lauraceae and Arecaceae but live in the temperate forest of New Zealand and also feed on podocarp species, thought to be elements of Gondwana, such as miro (Prumnopitys ferruginea) and Kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides).[10][11][13][12] The more tropical tree species are restricted to the warmer northern half of the North Island, and in these regions pigeons can nest all year round, except when moulting between March and May, provided enough fruit is available. Further south many tropical tree species are missing and in these areas breeding usually occurs between October (early spring) and April (late summer/early autumn), again depending on fruit availability.
New Zealand Pigeons nest in trees, laying a single egg, in a flimsy nest constructed of a few twigs thrown together. The egg is incubated for 28 days. The young bird then takes another 36 days to fledge. In seasons of plentiful fruit the pigeons can successfully nest up to four times.
The population of the New Zealand Pigeon declined considerably after the arrival of humans in New Zealand, and this trend continues, especially in the North Island, but is still relatively common in the west of the South Island and in coastal Otago. They are commonly found in native forests (lowlands in particular), scrub, rural and city gardens and parks.
The introduced Australian common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) and introduced species of rats — mainly the ship or black rat (Rattus rattus) but also the kiore or Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) and brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) — have significantly reduced the amount of fruit available for pigeons and other native birds and also prey on eggs and nestlings.
Pigeon populations are under also threat from hunting, habitat degradation and poor reproductive success. Pigeons were very numerous until about the 1860s and large flocks used to congregate in fruiting trees to feed. Restrictions on the shooting of pigeons were enacted as early as 1864, with total protection since 1921, although the enforcement against hunting was not consistent. Some Māori protested, claiming a traditional right to hunt the pigeon.
