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)

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).
Challenging the dog to a little play.
More photographs of my trip to Winchester, to taste a bit of Christmas atmosphere, will follow. You can find them in the set CHRISTMAS CROWDS.
On a threatened site in Strathspey, Scotland. After moving little this individual performs a rapid burst of wing fluttering. (This was later repeated but not caught on camera). This behaviour appeared to be more than a comfort movement to shake off
rainwater.
