Another top find at our recent Eardington Quarry nature reserve visit. This is only the second site record for this species in Shropshire, and first since 1997. It was beaten from Scots pine whilst we waited for it to get dark enough to turn on the moth traps.
Distinguished from the ubiquitous common earwig (F. auricularia) by its smaller size (this female was about 8mm long excluding forceps), overall bright chestnut colour & complete lack of wings.
At the very northern limit of its British range in Shropshire, this record equals (at 10km resolution) its most northerly inland record. The first time I have seen this species.
Approx 6mm long excl forceps / 7mm incl forceps. Note the large mite & many smaller mites. This species seems particularly lousy. I'm not sure how injurious these mites are - they seem to graze tracks through the surface hairs & are suspects in a couple of earwigs I've seen with missing wings.

Mother and baby doing great!!!
What a night. At every stage we almost ended up with a C section. Alison was taken into theater after pushing for so long as he just wouldn't come out. Alfie had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and had to be pulled out with forceps. But he is doing fine. And with us after 31 hours in hospital and a very traumatic night. We don't know the weight yet but every one says he looks like his dad. Oh well.

THE TEMPLE OF KOM OMBO is an unusual double temple constructed during the Ptolemaic period, which lasted from 108 to 47 BC. The ancient Egyptian place of worship features a unique engraving that is thought to be among the first representations of medical and surgical instruments.
The relief showing the medical tools is among the most intriguing features of the temple. It can be found in the building’s rear, in the passageway that surrounds the main area. The depicted surgical instruments include scalpels, curettes, forceps, specula, scissors, medicine bottles, and prescriptions. The image is completed with two goddesses sitting on birthing chairs. At the time the relief was carved, Egyptian medical science was almost certainly the most advanced in the world.

Update. Nearby observation on iNaturalist shows this is:
Gypogyna forceps (monotypic genus)
A nymph ('wiglet'), 3.3mm long (excl forceps). Assuming that this species has four nymphal instars, this looks like a third instar to me. Note the reddish tinge to the mandibles & forceps is already beginning to appear.

HPPT everyone
This defies description, but nevertheless. I hate doing SPs so this is a first and probably a last. Tony Eccles you have a lot to answer for..you set the bar high and I know this is not even in the same league as some of your bathtime antics....
Anyhoo, the "makeover" bit: bear with me..
So one day Little Miss Photocillin, my younger and scarily fashion-conscious 9 year old daughter announces that she wishes to have her faux dalmation pattern coat dyed pink as two of her friends have the same coat, which just won't do at all.
Into the machine goes the coat and like the Fly in the eponymous film so do my pants by accident.
Irony upon irony the dalmation coat took up none of the pink dye as for my pants....
If this offends you (and it probably should)...take me to the mittens NOW! arrrgh!!

Well a scene from one of the viewpoints at Claremont Gardens looking out over the lake . To get this shot you are obliged to shoot straight into the sun at this time of day . Behind me here at the lookout point is a memorial to Princess Charlotte ( see text via the link ) . She is buried in St. George's Chapel Windsor with her stillborn son .
The physician attending the birth Dr. Croft never recovered from the catastrophe at Claremont. Abandoned by patients, shunned by colleagues and criticised in the newspapers and medical press, he grew increasingly despondent. His decision not to use forceps to assist the Princess undoubtedly weighed on his mind. On 13 February 1818 while attending another difficult birth, Croft found a gun and shot himself - adding a third death to the double loss of Princess Charlotte and her child.
Just the day after one of those busy weekend at work we decided to head East for some cod action . The venue close to Dunbar looked perfect and with this amazing weather in store we were ready to go . Early bell and filling up the car , roof bars ready , Kayak on top .The gears are easy sorted and go into two big washing basket .The list go on , paddle , kayak seat , wet suit , foam floatation device , big sponge , zip bag for the fish , cool box , 2 rods , one fly rod and one short spinning rod , knife , forceps , sandwiches , drogue . drink bottle and then 2 boxes of terminal tackle including , rigs , soft lures , feathers and weights . The drive east early morning is fine , long straight road with plenty commuters heading to work . The sun's appear in the far distance and the wind mill are turning slow ,this is going to be a great day .70 miles or so later and finally the empty beach awaiting for us . I look into the horizon and the sea looks like a millpond with 2 dots 1/2 mile away , my friends are already . I set up the gears and fill up the kayak bits by bits just like a ritual . 5 minutes pass and Tam just arrive , he unload is craft and set up too . We drag our kayak onto the grass and then the sandy beach , the tide is high luckily saving us a long walk . I slowly sit down on the kayak and the light westerly breeze push me out to sea . I admire the crystal clear water and look down , there is little trail of sea snail engraved into the sand . The kelp bottom just looks like an under water forest with very small fish swimming around . Tam and myself paddle right out in the mile zone , the coastal light house is there with all the reflection , the majestic Bassrock with 80 000 gannets flying around in the far distance . This is a great morning , flat as you wanted to be . I drop a little silvery wedge deep down and slowly jerk it foot from the bottom , and the very first small cod pops around . And again , 40 foot of water below small codling are taking the silver lure . The next fish is a scorpion fish , one of those ugly fish with massive spines and huge mouths . Small one though but beautiful brownish marking . I take a quick photo and send him back to the deep . By that time we caught up with Bill . Bill is the veteran kayak anglers ,Very smart ,very fit and witty . His technique for the day is baited feathers and he is having a ling day . Ling after ling and mostly ling are taking his sea food cocktail . 8 in total , nothing really in size but still good sport .The days goes on and although it is nearly October it feels like summer . I talk to Bill as we fish close by and looking far out to sea and tell him , it's got to be a 10 pounder around here . After 6 hours drifting around and paddling Bill decide to head home and same to me , I was ready to call it a day , My rod went stiff once again and had fish on . A heavy leaded soft lure at the bottom and a lighter one just above did the trick . Straight away I knew the fish was good as it was taking line and more line , I took it easy making sure I was well connected giving nothing away . The fish came up to the surface and I grabbed it .With a small video of the fight in-store and a good cod on the soft fox lure and a couple of picture we finally headed home . Most fish are released and some are kept ,this one was a keeper . I put the fish in the cool box and headed home , my heart still pounding with a small grin on my face . I gutted the fish and weighted it .3.3 kg . I filleted it just like a fish monger and saved it in the freezer for the days to come ..Just add chips ..tight line all .Nicolas

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period.
Architecture
The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)". The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.
Decorations
The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period. The temple itself had a specific theology. The characters invoked the gods of Kom Ombo and their legend. Two themes were present in this temple: the universalist theme and the local theme. The two combine to form the theology of this temple. A temple was already built in the New Kingdom to honor these gods, however, this site gained in importance during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Little remains of the New Kingdom temple. The existing temple was begun by Ptolemy VI Philometor (180–145 BC) at the beginning of his reign and added to by other Ptolemies, most notably Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51–47 BC), who built the inner and outer hypostyles. The scene on the inner face of the rear wall of the temple is of particular interest, and "probably represents a set of surgical instruments".
Current state
Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used its stones for other projects. Some of the reliefs inside were defaced by Copts, who once used the temple as a church. All the temples buildings in the southern part of the plateau were cleared of debris and restored by Jacques de Morgan in 1893.
Crocodile Museum
A few of the three hundred crocodile mummies discovered in the vicinity are displayed in The Crocodile Museum.
In April 2018, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of the head of the bust of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius during work to protect the site from groundwater.
In September 2018, the Egyptian antiquities ministry announced that a sandstone sphinx statue had been discovered at the temple. The statue, measuring approximately 28 cm (11 in) in width and 38 cm (15 in) in height, likely dates to the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
Kom Ombo (Egyptian Arabic: كوم أمبو; Coptic: ⲙ̄ⲃⲱ əmbō or ⲛ̄ⲃⲱ ənbō; Ancient Greek: Ὄμβοι Omboi or Ὄμβος Ombos; or Latin: Ambo and Ombi is an agricultural town in Egypt famous for the Temple of Kom Ombo. It was originally an Egyptian city called Nubt, meaning City of Gold (not to be confused with the city north of Naqada that was also called Nubt/Ombos). Nubt is also known as Nubet or Nubyt (Nbyt). It became a Greek settlement during the Greco-Roman Period. The town's location on the Nile, 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Aswan (Syene), gave it some control over trade routes from Nubia to the Nile Valley, but its main rise to prominence came with the erection of the Temple of Kom Ombo in the 2nd century BC.
History
In antiquity the city was in the Thebaid, the capital of the Nomos Ombites, on the east bank of the Nile; latitude 24° 6' north. Ombos was a garrison town under every dynasty of Egypt as well as the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt, and was celebrated for the magnificence of its temples and its hereditary feud with the people of Dendera.
Ombos was the first city below Aswan at which any remarkable remains of antiquity occur. The Nile, indeed, at this portion of its course, was ill-suited to a dense population in antiquity. It runs between steep and narrow banks of sandstone, and deposits but little of its fertilizing slime upon the dreary and barren shores. There are two temples at Ombos, constructed of the stone obtained from the neighboring quarries of Hagar Silsilah.
The more magnificent of two stands upon the top of a sandy hill, and appears to have been a species of Pantheon, since, according to extant inscriptions, it was dedicated to Haroeris and the other deities of the Ombite nome by the soldiers quartered there. The smaller temple to the northwest was sacred to the goddess Isis. Both, indeed, are of an imposing architecture, and still retain the brilliant colors with which their builders adorned them. However, they are from the Ptolemaic Kingdom, with the exception of a doorway of sandstone, built into a wall of brick. This was part of a temple built by Thutmose III in honor of the crocodile-headed god Sobek. The monarch is represented on tress, the doorjambs, holding the measuring reed and chisel, the emblems of construction, and in the act of dedicating the temple.
The Ptolemaic portions of the larger temple present an exception to an almost universal rule in Egyptian architecture. It has no propylon or dromos in front of it, and the portico has an uneven number of columns, in all fifteen, arranged in a triple row. Of these columns, thirteen are still erect. As there are two principal entrances, the temple would seem to be two united in one, strengthening the supposition that it was the Pantheon of the Ombite nome. On a cornice above the doorway of one of the adyta, there is a Greek inscription, recording the erection, or perhaps the restoration of the sekos by Ptolemy VI Philometor and his sister-wife Cleopatra II, 180-145 BCE. The hill on which the Ombite temples stand has been considerably excavated at its base by the river, which here strongly inclines to the Arabian bank.
The crocodile was held in especial honor by the people of Ombos; and in the adjacent catacombs are occasionally found mummies of the sacred animal. Juvenal, in his 15th satire, has given a lively description of a fight, of which he was an eye-witness, between the Ombitae and the inhabitants of Dendera, who were hunters of the crocodile. On this occasion the men of Ombos had the worst of it; and one of their number, having stumbled in his flight, was caught and eaten by the Denderites. The satirist, however, has represented Ombos as nearer to Dendera than it actually is, these towns, in fact, being nearly 100 miles (160 km) from each other. The Roman coins of the Ombite nome exhibit the crocodile and the effigy of the crocodile-headed god Sobek.
In Kom Ombo there is a rare engraved image of what is thought to be the first representation of medical instruments for performing surgery, including scalpels, curettes, forceps, dilator, scissors and medicine bottles dating from the days of Roman Egypt.
At this site there is another Nilometer used to measure the level of the river waters. On the opposite side of the Nile was a suburb of Ombos, called Contra-Ombos.
The city was the seat of a bishop during Late Antiquity. Two bishops of Omboi are known by name, Silbanos (before 402) and Verses (402). Under the name Ombi, it is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees. Karol Wojtyła (the future Pope John Paul II) was titular bishop of Ombi from 1958 until 1963, when he was appointed Archbishop of Kraków.
Today
Today, irrigated sugarcane and cereal account for most of the agricultural industry.
Most of the 60,000 villagers are native Egyptians, although there is a large population of Nubians, including many Magyarabs who were displaced from their land upon the creation of Lake Nasser.
In 2010, plans to construct a new $700m 100 MW (130,000 hp) solar power plant near the city were unveiled by the Egyptian government.
The Ptolemaic dynasty (/ˌtɒlɪˈmeɪ.ɪk/; Ancient Greek: Πτολεμαῖοι, Ptolemaioi), also known as the Lagid dynasty (Λαγίδαι, Lagidae; after Ptolemy I's father, Lagus), was a Macedonian Greek royal house which ruled the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Ancient Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Reigning for 275 years, the Ptolemaic was the longest and last dynasty of ancient Egypt from 305 until its incorporation into the Roman Republic in 30 BC.
Ptolemy, one of the seven somatophylakes (bodyguard companions), a general and possible half-brother of Alexander the Great, was appointed satrap of Egypt after Alexander's death in 323 BC. In 305 BC he declared himself Pharaoh Ptolemy I, later known as Sōter "Saviour". The Egyptians soon accepted the Ptolemies as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt. Ptolemy's family ruled Egypt until the Roman conquest of 30 BC.
Like the earlier dynasties of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty practiced inbreeding including sibling marriage, but this did not start in earnest until nearly a century into the dynasty's history. All the male rulers of the dynasty took the name Ptolemy, while queens regnant were all called Cleopatra, Arsinoe or Berenice. The most famous member of the line was the last queen, Cleopatra VII, known for her role in the Roman political battles between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and later between Octavian and Mark Antony. Her apparent suicide after the Roman conquest of Egypt marked the end of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt.

Health
Continuing the tradition established by previous Egyptian dynasties, the Ptolemies engaged in inbreeding including sibling marriage, with many of the pharaohs being married to their siblings and often co-ruling with them. Ptolemy I and other early rulers of the dynasty were not married to their relatives, the childless marriage of siblings Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II being an exception. The first child-producing incestuous marriage in the Ptolemaic dynasty was that of Ptolemy IV and Arsinoe III, who were succeeded as co-pharaohs by their son Ptolemy V, born 210 BC. The most well-known Ptolemaic pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, was at different times married to and ruled with two of her brothers (Ptolemy XIII until 47 BC and then Ptolemy XIV until 44 BC), and their parents were also likely to have been siblings or possibly cousins.
Contemporaries describe a number of the Ptolemaic dynasty members as extremely obese, while sculptures and coins reveal prominent eyes and swollen necks. Familial Graves' disease could explain the swollen necks and eye prominence (exophthalmos), although this is unlikely to occur in the presence of morbid obesity. This is all likely due to inbreeding depression. In view of the familial nature of these findings, members of the Ptolemaic dynasty are likely to have suffered from a multi-organ fibrotic condition such as Erdheim–Chester disease, or a familial multifocal fibrosclerosis where thyroiditis, obesity and ocular proptosis may have all occurred concurrently.
Dates in brackets on the Cup of the Ptolemies represent the regnal dates of the Ptolemaic pharaohs. They frequently ruled jointly with their wives, who were often also their sisters, aunts or cousins. Several queens exercised regal authority. Of these, one of the last and most famous was Cleopatra ("Cleopatra VII Philopator", 51–30 BC), with her two brothers and her son serving as successive nominal co-rulers. Several systems exist for numbering the later rulers; the one used here is the one most widely employed by modern scholars.

Last month I saw Harry pull from out of the mud an Apple Snail the size of a baseball. Caked in mud, it was bigger than his head. He briskly strutted it down to shallower water, stopping twice to dip and rinse off the mud. Once he got it to water just deep enough to cover the snail he proceeded to extract with that forceps like bill of his every bit of meat in that shell. And there was a lot! He had a good meal that morning, and probably every morning by the amount of empty snail shells scattered about the mud flats. That Harry likes his escargot!

These birds are quite common in Africa, and I always enjoy watching and photographing them. I feel they get no respect as typically guides are anxious to show people Africa's Big Five and most tend to ignore smaller and more common birds and animals.

From Wikipedia: Yellow-billed hornbills feed mainly on the ground, where they forage for seeds, small insects, spiders and scorpions. This hornbill species is a common and widespread resident of dry thornveldt and broad-leafed woodlands. They can often be seen along roads and water courses.
Description:
It is a medium-sized bird, 48–60 centimetres (19–24 in) in length, 132–242 grams (0.291–0.534 lb) in weight and is characterized by a long yellow and down-curved beak. This beak is huge in comparison to its body and can account for up 1/6th of the entire body length. Male beaks are on average 90 mm long while female beaks are an average of 74 mm. Males are generally bigger than females but there is overlap between the sexes. The size difference of the beak is a fairly reliable way of differentiating sex in wild hornbills.
The casque that characterizes all hornbills is of a very modest size in the southern yellow-billed hornbill. It is small, but it covers almost the entire length of the beak in males (less so in females), and may give the impression that they do not actually have a casque. As in all hornbills, the size of the beak actually intrudes on the frontal vision of the bird and the first two neck vertebrae are fused together.
Also, like most other hornbills, they possess a long tail, long eyelashes, stubby legs and stubby toes. The front three toes are fused together near the base.
Behaviour:
The southern yellow-billed hornbill is active during morning, day and evening. At night, it will sleep high in a tree so it won’t be preyed on. They can be found alone, in couples or in small groups. They generally tend to be loners unless it is breeding season, nesting season or if there is local migration during dry season.
The southern yellow-billed hornbill is often seen searching for food on the ground or in shrubs. It will not dig the ground, but it will overturn debris to find insects. It can also be seen pursuing insects by hopping heavily after it.
They are generally sedentary and they will defend their territories with elaborate displays. However, during the dry season, they will sometimes range widely in order to find food. Couples are usually monogamous and have a clear division of labour between males and females.
They have been known to live for up to 20 years in captivity, though their longevity in the wilds remains unknown.
Diet:
Southern yellow-billed hornbill eats mostly arthropods, particularly termites, beetles, larvae (beetles and termites), grasshoppers and caterpillars. It has also been seen eating centipedes and scorpions. They will occasionally eat small mammals when they can. To complete the diet, they will regularly eat berries, fruits, nuts and eggs from other species.
Southern yellow-billed hornbill use their beaks as a pair of forceps. They will grasp their food between the tips and then toss it back in their throat where the short, stubby tongue will assist in swallowing the food. The inner cutting edges of the beak are serrated to facilitate the crushing and fragmentation of food. Most of the food is picked from the ground or from low vegetation. Their diet has some overlap with that of the southern ground hornbill.

While working on an insect project for my great-granddaughter, I discovered that the often maligned Earwig is quite a fascinating insect! They are found everywhere except the Antarctica, hide by day, and feed on decaying matter, plants, and insects. Females guard and clean their eggs and even guard the newly hatched young until their first molt is complete! The forceps or cerci on the end of their abdomens are used to hold prey or for mating. They have hidden "ear-shaped" wings and can fly, as is shown in the video below.

It is an "old wives tale" that they will crawl in your ears while you sleep. "In some regions of Japan, earwigs are called "Chinpo-Basami" or "Chinpo-Kiri", which means "penis cutter". Kenta Takada, a Japanese cultural entomologist, has inferred that these names may be derived from the fact that earwigs were seen around old Japanese-style toilets. (Wikipedia)

The relative sizes are approximately correct.

Note the relative size, colour of head & abdomen, shape of forceps & presence/absence of wingtips protruding from the wing-cases.
Herons are incredibly patient creatures. They will stand still and wait for fish to swim within striking distance, and when one does, the bird swiftly uses its beak to grab the fish, like a pair of forceps—swallowing it whole.
This patience lends itself to such long exposure shots. The long exposure smoothens the waves, making the bird stand out as it has. ISO100, f22, 30s with a couple of rangers ND filters
