Went today to this park so beautiful just between Beckenham & Bromley with its park area and its amazing 2 square miles of woodland and its wild walks. Got this shot of the 2 robins just before a hot brew and cake its a cracker mum feeding its mature chick, they must be early this year.

Two puffins (Fratercula arctica) are squabbling at the entrance of their cave.

A small group of Oystercatchers flew overhead and were showing signs of coming in for a landing in this spot, yelling continuously. These two were having none of it, and responded by doing some yelling of their own, repeatedly alternating between holding their heads high and then bowing down. The small flock went away after much screeching and never did land here.

Short eared Owl not being welcomed by the Swallows in the area.

Genuine capture.

This female Greylag Goose was collecting sticks and then putting them on her back.

Of course most fell off but she kept putting more back on.

I might be wrong but I put this behaviour down to her being ready to lay, and maybe the egg was giving her discomfort in some way.

Maybe this is her first time laying.

She was already on the nest when i first saw her, but she left to head down to the water and to start putting sticks on her back.

Waved albatross in the Galapagos performing their mating rituals which includes vociferous clacking of beaks.

With many pairs of Great Crested Grebes in the lake, there’s been more than a little aggressive behaviour. Including flight which I’ve never seen before..l

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 art and love ...

A few image captured of the behaviour between kingfishers

Since they are often "frozen" still in "don't detect me" mode , it is always enjoyable to see them just carrying on "being snipe". Moreso if there are more of them.

This species is not known for their gatherings mostly because they are so cryptically shy & camouflaged

Quickest way to "find" a helicopter is to try to do a video or audio clip..?

what's with that?!?

A tawny frogmouth in permanent care. These are often assumed to be owls due to their nocturnal predatory behaviour and vaguely owl-like apprearance but are actually in an order of their own - Podargiformes.

A fair distance away on a misty morning but nice to see the Cattle Egret in amongst the Highland Cattle.

A crow on the rocks in the background as grabbed these Goosanders attention, seconds after this shot sleep continued albeit with one eye open.

These birds were really carrying on and so interesting watching their behaviour-Kununurra
