I found these two Common Blues hard at it in the long grass at the old brick yard by the Walrow Fishing ponds..they were joined together for ages..Well over twenty minutes! The female seemed to be pulling the male around and around the grass head..I was a little faint with excitement and had to smoke a rollie when they finally pulled apart!

Ruby-tailed wasp (Chrysis viridula) stalking mason wasp (Odynerus spinipes) nest burrows. Dorset, UK.
The ruby-tails are a type of 'cuckoo wasp' and lay their eggs in the nests of this species.
Two things I hadn't fully anticipated: a. they're tiny, and b. they were half-way up a near vertical, unstable, almost unassailable gully wall.
With thanks to Chris.
(Freestyle - Canada at large, Vancouver) Typical scene in downtown Vancouver - yellow rent-a-fence & construction crane. One of the (many!) sites of the Canada Line construction - a new SkyTrain line, in preparation for the 2010 Olympics. (This site is on Granville Street, a half-block from a Timmy's, to give it that much more CanCon)
Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Once this bird had exhausted her favourite peanut butter mix, she took to hopping to a nearby sunflower seed feeder. She would take a seed then wedge it in the tree trunk to open and eat it.
TINTIN TAKES YOUR PARKING PLACE: how would you react ? Tintin has a tendency to park his vehicles everywhere, regardless, and often takes someone else's parking spot or assigned parking place. How rude ! But the right question to ask is: who is TINTIN really? If you read his adventures, you know that he often takes cars, small planes or helicopters that do not belong to him. So, in reality, he is a recidivist: a car thief and an airplane thief. This is his identity!

That's right.
Anti Social Behaviour Law grants London Police so-called dispersal powers within specified 'Good Behaviour Zones'.
'If an officer feels [not 'reasonably suspects'...just feels] that two or more people gathering in a public place are causing or are likely to cause anti social behaviour they may order them to disperse.' If you refuse their order to leave then you are committing an offence.
One sunday as we were driving across town we came upon a car in the middle of the intersection., motor running, driver slumped over. I went over to see if the driver was hurt or unconscious. I thought maybe he had a heart attack. As I looked in the window I could see he was alive but passed out and next to him was an empty bottle of schnaps. Called 911. please pick up idiot.
Stummbled on these 3 hares in a field and had a great couple of hours filming and photgraphing these guys.
The Gilly suit was on for this as I didn't know how tolerant they would be of me. ISO was between 500-800 and F stop 4 - 5.6 on AV

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!
As I was watering the garden the other day I noticed this little fellow nearby, and when I looked closer, I saw he was holding a drop of water. I didn't know spiders did that. Not the sharpest shot; hard to shoot macro when the wind is blowing the web, but I couldn't resist the shot of him holding that drop of water.
More shots from last Saturday at Barnes. This Little Grebe with one of his chicks was so happy to pose for us. He even seemed to be trying to communicate with us by nodding... (in this shot and the one before he's looking at me, such an amazing experience, in the others he's nodding at Gary (ggwildlife) and then to his own chick)
