I don't know what's gotten into the Canada Geese lately! They are all very vocal & looking for a fight! : )

Shottisham, Suffolk, 6 February 2020 (other hoverflies were also seen exhibiting this behaviour - a second E. tenax, three Episyrphus balteatus and a Syrphus torvus)

We had a short 3 day visit to the Yorkshire Coast for a visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Such an amazing spectacle seeing the many thousands of sea birds that come every year to nest on the chalk cliffs.

Police behaviour in the 80's... When I traveled to France for the first time as a young high school student, one of the things I noticed was how different the relationship between law enforcement and the people was. In Denmark, the police were like the friendly parent who nicely told you that now you had become too drunk and had to find a bus home. Street musicians got a long string, and were often considered something positive in the shopping district. In Paris, on the other hand, there was no eye contact, and the musicians I followed were not only thrown away from Pompidou Square, but subsequently also thrown away from the nearby neighborhood. And I who thought that Paris was all about of art and love ...

Paris, France, 1980's.

I was poking about in the rocks yesterday afternoon, when this limpet (with another riding on its back) suddenly reared up on its hind legs. I grabbed this shot and got ready to take another, better composed. But the moment passed too quickly.

 

I spent all afternoon looking for the behaviour to be replicated in other individuals, and saw a few others, all with a 'rider' - doing something similar but none so exaggerated as this one.

 

What were they up to? Is this common limpet behaviour? Does anyone know?

  

Fledgling Blue Tit waits for parent birds to bring food.

today my good behaviour has been rewarded, I have been respectful and duly humble towards *PSoPaD and he noticed, as I was walking along St Heliers promenade with my camera on my shoulder I was hoping he'd notice and he did, he went "Oh there is a good boy walking down with his camera, look at his humble self!" and he decided to give me a goat, again!

 

(if you got no clue what I am on about drill down into the stream you will eventually find the clue)

A sequence of shots of a Meadow Pipit bringing up a pellet. Most people associate pellets in birds with raptors and owls but small passerines, particularly those with a high insect content in their diet also produce pellets. All those hard insect exoskeletons cannot be digested so up they come.

they are both quarrelsome and affectionate.

and mate for life...

What a wonderful day I had yesterday at Warwick Castle with the birds of prey. The falconer was absolutely brilliant and I learnt so much about these birds because of his true love of the subject.

 

This is Batty a bateleur eagle who loved to have his chin rubbed - not the normal kind of behaviour in these birds! This was about the only photo I took that had some depth to it. The lighting was awful due to harsh sunlight or very deep shadows when we were under the trees

 

If anyone in England is interested in doing this I can highly recommend it
