This behaviour was uncommon to see so close to shore. Slapping off barnacles? Communicating with others in the area? Teasing those kayakers??

I cannot confirm it but to the best of my knowledge this is the Curraheen Walkway and I was at Lee Fields when I found it.
Sadly there were many signs of anti-social behaviour and I suspect that items of street-furniture such a litter bins and signage had been set alight.
A person that I met on the trail mentioned that I might see an a coypu and I had no idea what he was talking about. Later, on my return to the hotel, I checked online and found the following “The public has being asked to report sightings of any coypus, sometimes mistaken for otters, after one was spotted in or near the River Lee near the Lee Fields in Cork City recently”.
I did not see any big rodents but there were many horses and dogs to be seen.

Daytime grouping of Perga affinis, possibly subspecies insularis on a young eucalypt in dry sclerophyll, Buckland, Tasmania.
Family Pergidae: subfamily Perginae (species in this subfamily are also called 'pergines').

Group behaviour of Perga affinis larvae:
Larvae of Perga species are highly gregarious. Immediately after hatching sibling larvae will group and throughout larval development the tendency to 'meet-up' with others and build groupings will continue. During the day they will often be observed in large, static, tight groups on eucalypt branches or in procession to another prospective rest or feed site. At night they will disperse to the foliage to feed and later will regroup to begin the daily cycle again.
Recent studies on the mechanisms by which group cohesion is maintained by Perga affinis larvae have revealed that they most likely achieve this by coupling tactile cues (group touch sensing) with cooperative tapping and body twitching signals. A tap signal occurs via larvae striking the substrate with it's hardened abdominal tail and a body twitch signal is a very quick whole-body contraction. They are not known to utilise pheromone or silk trails like many other gregarious, processionary larvae.
Perga larvae tapping produces a vibrational signal that can be detected remotely and so far is known to function in this way for two different circumstances. The first scenario is a 'where are you' signal whereby persistent tapping by an isolated individual will produce a tapping response by a group receiving the signal. The research suggests that this type of communication, which is always initiated by the isolated larvae, is a means by which lone larvae can find a group - the isolated larva generally responds by searching towards the source of the group vibrational signals. The second type of remote tapping signal occurs just prior to processionary movement and is produced by the individuals at the back of the 'line'. These larvae are the last to get into position and their tapping appears to be a 'ready to start moving' signal for the leading larvae.
Twitching signals are only observed within groups and are directly related to processionary coordination. Preforaging larval clusters will twitch simultaneously (seen as a single group contraction), and repeatedly, in the three or so hours leading up to them moving off. Contractions occur initially around once per hour but will increase in time up to 10 per hour just before procession begins. The other type of twitch signal occurs during a processionary event when the entire group has momentarily stopped. This twitch, which is initiated by the 'leader' and will travel down the processionary group in a wave, occurs just before the procession restarts.

What Causes Obsessive Behaviour In Children
You don’t know what to make of your toddler’s obsessions. She probably insists on eating cheese omelette every day and makes a fuss when you give her anything else. Perhaps she only wants to wear pink and complains when you dress her in other colours. A...

A wildfire is the result of a complex interaction of biological, meteorological, physical, and social factors that influence its likelihood, behaviour, duration, extent, and outcome (i.e., severity or impact). Changes in many of these factors are increasing the risk of wildfire globally (e.g., climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of weather conducive to wildfire outbreaks, changed demographics in high-risk regions are increasing the potential impacts of wildfires). Management options at junctures, such as fuel management (managing fuels prior to a wildfire occurrence), fire management (undertaking fighting of the fire once it has started), or relocating those threatened during a wildfire event (e.g., evacuation) can mitigate some of the economic, environmental, or societal impacts of wildfire but it is impossible to mitigate all risks for all fires. As a result, communities often have to learn to live with the residual risk of wildfire.

In a city you can see wild stuff =)
I did not dare take the picture from the front, because who knows what a person might do to you who hangs the laundry in a public park - which, by the way, has been a cemetery!!

I think this is a Warbler, possibly an Audubon Warbler, getting at food on the underside of this rock formation.

For some reason this carder bee rolled over on it back and waved it's legs in the air for a few second. Five of it's legs anyway, it was using the other to hang onto the flower by the stamen. It was as though it was showing off for the camera but I suspect there is a more rational explanation. Anybody got one?

Pink-necked green pigeon
The pink-necked green pigeon (Treron vernans) is a bird of the Columbidae family. It is found in Cambodia, Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Male has mostly green plumage with greyish head, pinkish nape, neck and upper breast, orange central breast and dark chestnut undertail-coverts. Female lacks the pinkish and orange plumage of the male. Juvenile of both sexes resembles female but male will soon start to show patches of adult plumage.
Habitat: Forests, mangroves, wooded areas, gardens and parks.
Ecology/Behaviour: Arboreal, seldom come to the ground except to drink.

Here's a shot from my files that shows the filaments exposed and waving around... Like Indiana Jones (except the "whips" come out of its butt)!
