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.

Sitting on a rock near a marsh, I was hoping to do some light reading. Instead I did some light photography, as I must have been near a nest of this red-wing blackbird, which was putting on a very aggressive display. Little bird, but a big heart.
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.
"Sunning" is thought to be an anti-parasite or anti-microbe treatment for feathers. These two Jackdaws on a rooftop show that it could work as a social bonding activity too.
Mute Swan - Courtship and Copulatory Behaviour
The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan native to much of Europe and Asia.This large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange bill bordered with black. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. Around 5,800-7,000 pairs breeding annually in UK.
Mayesbrook Park (Barking), Britain’s first climate change park, is an attractive nature reserve with a newly restored river landscape. The Mayes brook has been brought back into the park within a widened meandering river channel creating an attractive river landscape to help the park to cope with more extreme changes in climate including heavy rainfall and drought. This new river system, with a gravel river bed and banks, provides an ideal wetland habitat for wildlife and at times of high rainfall it is able to rise in a controlled and natural way within a newly created floodplain.
The southern section of the park features two large lakes which are rich in wildlife. Aquatic plants such as reeds and rushes have been planted in ponds and backwaters, creating a rich habitat for wetland species. With over 40 hectares of open space, the park recently received a Mayor of London Safer Parks Silver award for high standards of site safety and policing.

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.
