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
First time I've ever even observed this behaviour, and I had a camera to hand! Wrong lens and too far away of course, which is why this - heavily cropped - is the best of an out of focus bunch.
But I'm just so pleased to have seen, let alone photographed, it at all :0))
And all I have to add beyond that is that I am happy I am not a snail. That thrush is fearsomely efficient.

This photo is one of two of the butterfly shots I chose from a recent trip to Chartwell, home of Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill used to raise butterflies in a butterfly house converted from a summerhouse in the 1940s and The National Trust carry on this tradition meaning that there are always lots of beautiful butterflies to see, particularly around the Buddleias.
To tackle the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, IOM Uganda has developed a Behaviour Change Campaign (BCC) to raise awareness not only on HIV/AIDS, but also sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies. The sites selected to launch this pilot campaign are the fishing villages of Kasensero, Lyantonde and a temporary site being utilized by migrants expelled from Tanzania at Sango Bay. The slogan of the campaign is “You and I can prevent HIV/AIDS” and all activities have been implemented in cooperation with the Ugandan health district officials.

Abby is confused for a minute. We were walking beside the normal path to stay off the snow but she kept going back to it even though it was only twenty feet away. Repetition is EVERYTHING to a pup

Name: Panthera leo, or Lion
Location: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda
Description:Tree-climbing is an unusual behavior for lions, but the pride in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda is famous for napping in trees during the day -- this male is just waking up at dusk. Though they don't know it, the lions here may be the last of their kind; relentless poisoning by cattlemen leads many researchers to believe the big predators of this area will all be gone within the next five to ten years.
Breeding behaviour
Where possible, the birds excavate a nesting burrow into the soil. Sometimes they will make use of Manx shearwater or rabbit burrows. Where burrowing is not possible, the birds nest under boulders or in cracks and cavities in cliffs.
The birds defend the nesting site and its immediate surround, and use it in subsequent years. Puffins lay only a single egg, in late April or early May. Both parents incubate it for 36-45 days, and they share the feeding duties until the chick is ready to fledge.
The fledging period is very variable, ranging from 34 to 60 days, depending on the area and year.
Adult birds desert their young shortly before they are ready to leave the nest. The timing of the breeding in puffin colonies is highly synchronised, and so the departure of all adults takes place within a few days.
The young birds leave their nest burrow and make their way to the sea, normally under cover of darkness to avoid predators. In some colonies, for instance in Iceland, nearby bright lights confuse the young birds, which then fly into the light and end up on city streets.
Puffins usually reach breeding age at 5-6 years old, and often live for 20 years.
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

Quickly grabbed a bendy lamp I had in my room and made a makeshift off-camera light.
