The "Sausage Temptation" challenge
The object of the test was for a dog to run to it's owner at the far end of the ring between 2 rows of saucers with sausages and their own favourite toys on them, only one of several entries succeeded.
Always the highlight of the show with the comic behaviour of the dogs especially the ones that snaffle all the sausages then run to their owners looking pleased with themselves hoping for more rewards.

.......started noticing a Hummingbird every once in a while out of the corner of my eye hovering around my (Vancouver Westend apartment) balcony this last December, and realized that it had spotted a very seldom used (now empty) Hummingbird feeder hanging at one end........
.......not that keen about artificially feeding I got the idea in my head that it might be interesting to see if I could locate and purchase a potted, flowering "Mahonia X Media Charity" (or the like) to put on my balcony to see if it would attract the Hummingbird..........lucked on to finding a 1.5 M high plant that was just starting to bloom, around Xmas 2013.........carried it home under my arm, walking a few blocks from the "downtown" plant store.......with it's bright yellow flowers, it felt like I was bringing home a pre-decorated Xmas tree:-)
.......anyway:-) it did attract one or more Hummingbirds (it's difficult to tell how many, (they all look the same to me:-) that came to feed during Jan, and Feb 2014..........(and bunches of Bushtits also)
.......by the beginning of February the Blooms were starting to fade and we suddenly had a prolonged cold spell of below freezing temperatures (day and night for a few days) ..........so I decided to supplement H.Bird food needs by filling up the liquid feeder and putting it near the Mahonia........still amazing to me that they can survive here during the winter.......even taking their torporic skills into account.......
..........interestingly also, (I thought.......:-) at least one of the Hummers continued off and on to dine at the what was left of the Mahonia blossoms, as well as sipping sugary nectar from the feeder........(as above:-) ............and below

The Act defines harassment in section 1(1) as a "course of conduct" amounting to harassment and provides by section 7(3) that a course of conduct must involve conduct on at least two occasions. (Originally these occasions needed to involve the same person, but in 2005 the act was amended by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act so that "pursuing a course of conduct" could mean approaching two people just once.[1]) If these requirements are satisfied, the claimant may pursue a civil remedy for damages for anxiety: section 3(2). The use of civil law, means that the standards of evidence are substantially lower than for criminal law, for example permitting hearsay.[1] The requirement of a course of conduct shows that Parliament was conscious that it might not be in the public interest to allow the law to be set in motion for one boorish incident.
Under this act the definition of harassment is behavior which causes alarm or distress. The Act provides for a jail sentence of up to six months or a fine. There are also a variety of civil remedies that can be used including awarding of damages, and restraining orders backed by the power of arrest

This kind of behaviour is called "suspended ballooning" wherein the caterpillars produce a strand of silk after they hatch, they dangle from it and wait for the wind turbulence to break the silk thread upon which they land on their preferred food plant.

'One day millions across the globe will unite at these events'
Well not yesterday, 2 years later and the success of the Ronson meets has meant that neither the venue or the facial expressions have changed.
I watched this Canada goose at Langford Lakes in Wiltshire having a bath ! However he keep rolling over on to his back.
I have never seen this behaviour before and it lasted several minutes.

I got a new wildlife camera trap. This shows 2 of them having a prickly altercation. Quite an amusing snippet of what goes on while we are asleep. They seem quite timid, but obviously have issues too!
Not sure what the behaviour is about? Anyone?
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!
