This was a first. Laying on TOP of the box. (You can see where he was chewing/ripping the box on the left side. LOL.)

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.

Couldn't have timed it better, pulled up the van just in time to watch this Barn Owl quartering this field, bagging a couple of shots into the bargain.
Interesting behaviour observed in the Bumblebee colony today. I noticed that several of the bees were congregated on the ledge at the entrance fanning their wings furiously in front of the entrance holes. I concluded that they were endeavouring to cool the air as it was very hot, so I propped the front of the lid open to let more air flow through the hive. That seemed to work, and they resumed collecting pollen. The number of cells have increased markedly since they have been established in the garden.

Public Lecture on "Changing Consumer Behaviour: Are We Becoming More Demanding?" by Professor Moira Clark, Director, Henley Centre for Customer Management on 25 February 2015
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.

Tally has a special way of walking up to Huxley to intice him to play with her. The photo on the bottom left captures it the best - hackles up just a touch, rear end wiggling, tail low and wagging and dainty little steps! Dog body language is so much fun to watch.
(They are wearing bandanas because it was a deer hunting day and we like them to wear something noticeable).

Taken on Leeds Liverpool Canal at Shipley, West Yorksire. In late May, June and early July May flies emerge from the canal and fly straight up. Sparrows perch on the bushes along parts of the canal and clumsily catch the Mayfly to feed their young. This fly got caught.
