Found on the path near the pond at Woods Mill Nature Reserve, Sussex. They were- really large, are these hornets or queen wasps? What are they doing? Fighting or mating?
They were not moving much and were not distracted by me hovering over them with my camera. I left them to it!

This is the first and only instance of this behaviour that I have observed. The moth is licking the honeydew exudate from the fulgorid, despite the presence of the ants which are doing the same thing. Not sure is this is something specific to this moth sp., if it's pure luck, or just a not very often described phenomenon. In any case I was happy to find and document it. Found during a night hike in kanuku mountains. For a greater selection of photos which include different angles and species ask by pm to be added to my friend's list.
Yesterday the tire flew off my minibus, I cut the head off a pit viper and I was banned from a commercial flight by associating with a narco-trafficker. Today I am bushwhacking through the jungle in the remote trail-less backwaters of Guyana, waist deep in water and praying to make it through the rest of the day alive. What will tomorrow bring? God only knows. The adventure starts here- pbertner.wordpress.com/.

I got my pup back half an hour ago, i missed her so much this weekend! it´s all new to her too, so she is a bit confused and it shows in her behaviour. Or should i say misbehaviour...
Everytime i meet Kita after even a very short break, she re-evaluates our relationship and the whole pack and her own place in it. so i must be very firm with her when all i want to do is cuddle with her on the couch. that is not a good idea with this dog, she is so dominating and a bit of a hard-ass, it is best for her that i just show her her place when she comes back and ignore her for a while.
My ex told me that when he tried to leave Kita in his apartment for half an hour she started howling and banging against the front door, so he couldn´t go anywhere without the dog. I foresee problems there....i am the pack leader to Kita and she trusts me, everybody else has to work with her and gain the trust.
and i have a LOT to do with her, training-wise...
We are going out for a long walk later tonight and also early in the morning. it will be really good for me too.
sooc.
P.S. how do you spell that word, is it behavior or behaviour??? somebody help, please, i hate misspelling!
P.S. got it now, thanks to c&a!

If you seek to understand collective behaviour, you must first study individuals. Years ago, if two blokes fell out about something, they recruited their respective mates and took the matter outside to be decided among the dustbins in the alley at the back of the pub. Similarly, if some dynastic or territorial quarrel developed between sovereign states, the kings mustered their armies and faught a battle somewhere out in the country ...Sedgemoor say, or Waterloo. It was simple good manners; you tried to keep damage to a minimum and not to involve non-participants in the unpleasantness.
A less civilised age arrived. Kings, dynasties and common decency were at an end. Instead we had totalitarian dictatorships and total war without mercy. The ruination of your enemy's economy and infrastructure and the fire-bombing of civilians to weaken morale, came to be thought legitimate means of achieving victory.
This bit of road surface, now forming an entrance between two unlovely postwar office buildings is, I think, the relic of Mary-le-Port Street, perhaps ...I can judge only from photographs... the most beautiful of Bristol's medieval (or Saxon?) streets. The narrow roadway was lined with jettied, timber-framed shops. It was destroyed in an air raid on 24th November 1940.
Ordinary English people find it deeply embarrassing to pronounce foreign, especially French, words correctly, and I always wondered how Bristolians carried off the Frenchified name of this street. Then, one day, I heard my mother (actually an adoptive Bristolian) speak of it. She said, "Mary Lea-Port", giving equal value to the second and third elements in the name. I offer this contribution to historico-philological studies entirely free of charge.

"Employment testing growth
"The Institute of Behavioural Sciences at the University has increased the assistance it gives to companies when they select young worker.
After devising a common aptitude test for candidates for apprenticeships last year, the Institute has reviewed the test so it is now relevant to all young people seeking jobs.
Fourteen companies from the Hunter Region will use the information provided by the test to help them assess applicants for jobs or apprenticeships.
Approximately 3000 applicants for employment, mainly from years 10, 11 or 12 at local high schools, will sit for the test in the Great Hall on four consecutive Saturday mornings beginning on July 26. The size of the response is an increase of 100 per cent on the turn-up for last year’s apprenticeship employment test.
Dr P. Pfister and Dr. D Monro of the Institute of Behavioural Sciences, who devised the text ascribed part of the larger response to the effectiveness of the Chamber of Manufactures assistance with the dissemination of information to its members in the region.
“Youth unemployment remains critically high, ‘they said, “and companies receive hundreds or, and in some cases more than a thousand applications for a handful of jobs. So, the companies will be grateful for the test results when they select their youth intake for 1986-1987.
“As for the applicants for youth employment, they will be saved the inconvenience which occurs when there is no co-ordination and they are forced to attend for interviews and tests in several different locations.”
The overall aim of designing a common aptitude test was to obtain valid information about the candidates’ abilities which would permit a short list to be drawn up of applicants suitable for interview purposes.
Dr Pfister and Dr Monro said that the basic information required for the establishing of the short list was related to general intellectual ability and basic skill. The information obtained was then processed by means of a complex computer-based model, which allowed for the ranking of the most suitable candidates for training.
The applicants from school book in for the test through their School Careers Advisers, while others can make arrangements with the Commonwealth Employment Service.
The companies that have sponsored the 1986 youth an apprenticeship employment test are Alcan Aust. Ltd, the BHP Steel International Group, Carrington Slipways Pty. Ltd, Comsteel Ltd, Electric Lamp Manufactures Co. Pty. Ltd, Haxham Engineering Pty. Ltd, the Hunter District Water Board, NSW Chamber of Manufactures, Shortland Country Council, Sulphide Corporation Pty. Ltd, Tomago Aluminmum Co. Pty. Ltd, Tubemakers of Australia Ltd, Eastern Nitrogen and Kooragang Coalloaders.
Dr Monro has applied for a research grant in connection with an evaluation of the long range impact of the common aptitude test on these who sit for it. He said he wanted to follow- up the test with sampling to see if school students obtained apprenticeships or other jobs, or returned to school or became unemployed. "

Attachment theory describes several behavioural systems, the function of which is to regulate human attachment, fear, exploration, care-giving, peer-affiliation and sex. Attachment is defined as any form of behaviour that results in a person attaining and retaining proximity to a differentiated other. The primary caregiver is the source of the infants stress regulation and, therefore, sense of safety and security. Attachment theory emphasises the role of the parent as mediator, reflector and moderator of the childs mind and the childs reliance on the parent to respond to their affective states in ways that are contingent to their internal experience, a process often referred to as secure base/safe haven functioning. Within the close parent-child relationship neural networks dedicated to feelings of safety and danger, attachment and the core sense of self are sculpted and shaped. These networks are conceptualised as internal working models of attachment.
Characteristic patterns of interaction operating within the familys caregiving-attachment system give rise to secure, insecure and disorganized patterns of attachment. These discrete patterns have been categorized using the Strange Situation research procedure, which observes the young childs behaviour when separated and reunited with his or her primary caregiver. Attachment patterns are represented in the childs internal working models of self-other relationships. Secure attachment is promoted by the interactive regulation of affect, which facilitates the recognition, labelling and evaluation of emotional and intentional states in the self and in others, a capacity known as reflective function or mentalization. The recognition of affects as having dynamic, transactional properties is the key to understanding behaviour in oneself and in another. The child comes to recognize his or her mental states as meaningful self-states via a process of parental affect mirroring and marking. Secure children are able to use sophisticated cognitive strategies to integrate and resolve their fear of separation and loss.
When the parent is unavailable, inconsistent or unpredictable, the infant develops one of two organized insecure patterns of attachment: avoidant or ambivalent-resistant. These defensive strategies involve either the deactivation or hyper-activation of the attachment system. Deactivation is characterized by avoidance of the caregiver and by emotional detachment. In effect, the avoidant child immobilizes the attachment system by excluding thoughts and feelings that normally activate the system. Hyper-activation is manifested by an enmeshed ambivalent preoccupation with the caregiver and with negative emotions, particularly anger. However, in common with the avoidant child, the ambivalent child appears to cognitively disconnect feelings from the situation that elicited the distress. Disorganised-disoriented attachment is discussed below.
Attachment research, then, demonstrates that discrete patterns of secure, insecure, and disorganized attachment have as their precursor a specific pattern of caregiver-infant interaction and their own behavioural sequelae. Repeated patterns of interpersonal experience are encoded in implicit-procedural memory and conceptualized as self-other working models of attachment. These mental models consist of generalized beliefs and expectations about relationships between the self and key attachment figures, not the least of which concerns ones worthiness to receive love and care from others.
In sum, the care-giving environment generally, and the infant-caregiver attachment relationship particularly, initiate the child along one of an array of potential developmental pathways. Disturbance of attachment is the outcome of a series of deviations that take the child increasingly further from adaptive functioning. Child abuse and cumulative developmental trauma violate the childs sense of trust, identity and agency and have pernicious and seminal influences on the developing personality. In essence, internal working models of early attachment relationships provide the templates for psychopathology in later life, which may include violent, destructive and self-destructive forms of behaviour. In attachment theory, the main purpose of defence is the regulation of emotions. The primary mechanisms for achieving this are distance regulation and the defensive exclusion of thoughts and feelings associated with attachment trauma.
Early trauma in the form of abuse, loss, neglect and severe parent-child misattunement compromises brain-mediated functions such as attachment, empathy and affect regulation. From an attachment theory perspective, patterns of attachment are encoded and stored as generalized relational patterns in the systems of implicit memory. These are conceptualized as cognitive-affective internal working models which are seen as mediating how we think and feel about ourselves, others and the relationships we develop. Although open to change and modification in the light of new attachment experiences, whether positive or negative, these non-conscious procedural models, scripts or schemas within which early stress and trauma are retained, tend to persevere and guide, appraise and predict attachment-related thoughts, feelings and behaviours throughout the life cycle via the implicit memory system. Psychopathology is seen as deriving from an accumulation of maladaptive interactional patterns that result in character traits and personality types and disorders.
Disorganised attachment may occur when the childs parent is both the source of fear and the only protective figure to whom to turn to resolve stress and anxiety. In such instances, neither proximity seeking nor proximity avoiding is a solution to the activation of the childs attachment and fear behavioural systems. If the trauma remains unresolved and is carried into adulthood, it leaves the individual vulnerable to affect dysregulation in interpersonal conflict situations that induce fear, hate, shame and rage. In such cases, alcohol and illicit drugs are often resorted to as a maladaptive means of suppressing dreaded psychobiological states and restoring a semblance of affective equilibrium.
Findings show that disorganised attachment developed in infancy shifts to controlling behaviour in the older child and adult, reflecting an internalized mental model of the self as unlovable, unworthy of care and support, and fearful of rejection, betrayal and abandonment. Disorganised attachment is associated with a predisposition to relational violence, to dissociative states and conduct disorders in children and adolescents, and to personality disorders in adults. This state of mind constitutes a primary risk factor for the development of borderline, anti-social and sociopathic personality disorders. The rate of such disorders in forensic settings is particularly high. Clinically, dissociated traumatic experience is unsymbolized by thought and language, being encapsulated within the personality as a separate, non-reflective reality which is cut off from authentic human relatedness. The information contained in implicit memory may be retrieved by state-dependent moods and situations. Dissociated archaic internal working models are then activated, influencing and distorting expectations of current events and relationships outside of conscious awareness, particularly in situations involving intense interpersonal stress. In such situations, the self is felt to be endangered, thereby increasing the risk of an angry and potentially violent reaction.

I was up at one of our local churchyards for my walk this morning when I noticed this female Mallard.
She was quacking away and then flew up into a hole in a tree, if she's nesting there I worry about the babies when they hatch.
The pond is just across a fairly busy road if they try to get there.

Obviously not a natural, and presumably not a good, diet for a squirrel. Unfortunately Shoreline Park is frequented by families inc. young children, so there's a lot of the bad behaviour associated with that - harassment of the animals, feeding of human junk food to them, etc. Also, I was pretty lazy with the editing on this one… mainly around noise reduction. It doesn't hold up well if you look too closely. Though this is also in part because it was ISO 7500, so I had to be pretty heavy-handed to make it not look like a speckled mess (rumours of the D500's aptitude at high ISOs are greatly exaggerated).
It is able to hang upside down, twist its body, and peer into holes and under bark looking for reptiles and invertebrates such as insects and scorpions. It can even walk down a tree branch at a nearly vertical angle. It can do this because it has a 'double jointed' ankle which allows it to flex backward and even a bit sideways. It also has a behavioural adaptation, in that it can use its tail and wings, as well as its legs to brace itself in position as it seeks its prey.
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 assuming this is a breeding/aggression display by a red-breasted merganser.
There were a number of males chasing each other.
The bird on the left lifted its tail, lowered its stomach and lifted its head.
This was followed by the merganser stretching his neck as long and tall as it could.
I haven't seen this behaviour before and it was interesting to watch.
