The regular Sunday Evening service at Hexham Community Church results in the complete blocking of the pavement. The large trailer which belongs to a charity is so close to the junction that pedestrians have to walk unseen into the main road.
This Air Jamaica plane was about 30 degrees off course. It made a dramatic dip and turn and bank - I swear, those passengers had to be frightened as hell. I was... since it headed right at me after turning! Act of terrorism and I have my camera, lovely... er, not.

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
Based on the white tips on the tail, the small erectile crest and the general colouring, I think this is an immature Eastern Whipbird. It is extracting insects from rolled up, fallen bark at the top of the Golden Stairs on Narrow Neck.
The Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus) is an insectivorous passerine bird native to the east coast of Australia, its whip-crack call a familiar sound in forests of eastern Australia. Two subspecies are recognised. Heard much more often than seen, it is a dark olive-green and black in colour with a distinctive white cheek patch and crest. The male and female are similar in plumage. Juveniles are a duller olive-brown and lack the white cheek stripes and dark throat. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Whipbird
The culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour towards members of the public and female colleagues persists across many UK police forces today. A report was commissioned by the Home Secretary in response to the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. Enough. is a brand new play that focuses on the perspectives of female police officers and explores the various ways that misogyny manifests in the police force. How does this culture still exist in 2023? Enough is enough.

Puffin behaviour at 'The Wick' Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire.
This one was crouching low - looking very submissive. The head looks a completely different shape at this angle.
Conversing with Keas:2
Kea have been studying humans from many angles for more than four centuries yet many questions remain unanswered. Most individuals are approachable with care but it is important to remember they are not pets or a tame species and are capable of unpredicably destructive behaviour.

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.

Here are pictures of when Mowgli was a kitten... he was into everything - actually he still is... that's the bengal nature! He decided that my winnie the pooh bookmark would make him a great toy and nearly 3 years on, it's still his favourite.
With the end of daylight saving time as Autumn commences, the dusk-time increase in feeding behaviour by Zealandia's kaka occurs just before the sanctuary closes for the day, which is great for visitors as they really get to see a lot of birds at the feeders.
A parrot endemic to the forests of New Zealand.
There are two subspecies, the North Island Kākā, Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis, and the South Island Kākā, N. m. meridionalis. The name Kākā is a Māori language word meaning "parrot".
The New Zealand Kaka is a medium sized parrot, around 45 cm (18 in) in length and weighing about 550 g, and is closely related to the Kea (also native to New Zealand and the worl’d only alipine parrot) but has darker plumage and is more arboreal. The forehead and crown are greyish-white and the nape is greyish-brown. The neck and abdomen are more reddish, while the wings are more brownish. Both sub-species have a strongly patterned brown/green/grey plumage with orange and scarlet flashes under the wings; color variants which show red to yellow coloration especially on the breast are sometimes found.
The calls include a harsh ka-aa and a whistling u-wiia.
The New Zealand Kaka lives in lowland and mid-altitude native forest. Its strongholds are currently the offshore reserves of Kapiti Island, Codfish Island and Little Barrier Island. It is breeding rapidly in the mainland island sanctuary at Zealandia, Karori Sanctuary, with over 100 chicks hatched since their reintroduction in 2002 to the extent that Wellington, New Zealand’s capital, is now uniquely the only city in New Zealamd where kaka are returning to suburban gardens.
The New Zealand Kaka, like many parrots, uses its feet to hold its food. It feeds on fruits, berries, seeds, flowers, buds, nectar and invertebrates. It uses its strong beak to shred the cones of the kauri tree to obtain the seeds. It has a brush tongue with which it feeds on nectar, and it uses its strong beak to dig out the grubs of the longhorn beetle.
Kaka make their nests in hollow trees, laying clutches of 2 to 4 eggs in late winter. Both parents assist in feeding the chicks.
The New Zealand Kaka is considered vulnerabl. It has greatly declined, in part from habitat loss, in part because of introduced wasps, possums and bees, which compete with the New Zealand Kaka for food. Introduced stoats, rats and domestic cats also take a heavy toll of chicks and sitting hens.

Don't come birdwatching with me if you expect a checklist, tallies or exclamations of "lifer". This isn't stamp collecting or trainspotting. You might even find that I'm so engrossed with seeing what the bird is doing that I forget that big heavy thing is a camera.
See that dark blob. That's most likely a bundle of bark and spiderwebs. Scale? You can probably cup it one hand.
Earlier, before the heat got up, the bush was alive with LBBs ( little brown birds ), and birdsong — big and small. The calls of noisy friarbirds and grey shrike-thrushes went on; the little ones just stopped. So out here, the expectations of seeing anything at all was not high.
Here's the thing. Not everyone can clock off just because it's hot. That's what's going on here. The quick flit, the blur of a little bird was really only resolved by that stationary dark blob. What's notable is that the blob actually looked different from time to time. It was sinking in…two birds, dimorphic plumage, one species. Nesting behaviour!!
I don't make lists, so this isn't a list entry. One female leaden flycatcher, one male leaden flycatcher, both doing food drops by the short duration at the nest. Up there, right now is a nest, and in that nest is an unknown number of little mouths!!! Assume nothing. According to my sources, the leaden flycatcher is parasitised by a variety of cuckoos. They might be feeding someone else's baby.
Sorry, no photos of the "parents". Privacy, you know, or oversight…
