Common Tern.
Originally with a blue sky but I quite like the high key effect with this one.

Managed to capture these people at St Pancras adopting a similar pose to Sir John Betjeman. Even got the clock in!
Belle's Nativity (before she showed everyone her pants) Unfortunately, I held the camera the wrong way and haven't worked out how to rotate it, so be prepared for a crick in your neck.
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.
Economic theory argues that consumers and firms respond to incentives. The Low Tuck Kwong Distinguished Professorship public lecture presents Professor Sumit Agarwal, where he showcased his work on behavioural interventions and consumer responses for achieving resource conservation.
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.

Small elephant hawk-moth (Deilephila porcellus) nectaring on greater butterfly orchid (Platanthera chlorantha) with pollinia. West Sussex, UK.
The moths collect sticky 'pollinia' on their faces as they drink, which helps to pollinate the orchids.

Robins never used to eat at any of our feeders, only at the birdtables and on the ground, and even from our hands. They lack the acrobatic abilities of the Tit family, and the seed preference of the finches.
For the last couple of years they have been frequently using the fat feeders and also even the seed in the cages, and teach the chicks to do the same.
Bird pics are not easy for me and my little handheld Tizzy but I had a go.
The other bird is a Coal-tit.
Two things are a good sign for the coming summer.
1 - the stream of tourists sets in
2 - all sorts of strange things are sold
This is the version for the non-smoker =)
There is also the pumpgun with a similar effect..
