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.
"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.
This new plaza, part of the Urban Realm Improvement Project, is a major improvement but the amount of litter to be seen is depressing and there are some signs of ongoing anti-social behaviour which is unfortunate. But, to be fair the people of Limerick the city does appear to have improved a lot since I started visiting about ten years ago.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is a specific type of CBT. It combines Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with mindfulness and other Eastern Meditation and Self-insight gaining practices. It helps in dealing with distressful emotions.
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

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.

When I first saw these flies, I thought they were mating, but on closer inspection, it seems the embrace was for a more sinister reason!!! The yellow fly (dungfly?) seemed to have caught the black fly, and I assume was going to eat it! Unfortunately the sun was very bright, and they were in a rotten fence post, so the angle was difficult, plus I had no tripod, and nothing to lean on... Anyway, enough moaning, ... at least my day was better than that of the black fly!

.......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
P1600753 - Ok the first shot is not that clear, but Mr Mallard had gone through a whole set of stuff to reach this pose. I liked it with the sun coming through the wing feathers.
So the story continues, if you remember www.flickr.com/photos/rustymarvin/5801319718/in/photostream Told you I had a headache
The reason for all this is I have never seen it before, I can now understand why they are call duck's. The myth of water of a duck's back doesn't seem to run true either.
Have a great weekend everyone
