Mud wrestlers during a bout at the Akhara Siyaram club on the banks of the Hoogly River in Kolkata. There are about fifty club members who treat the facility rather like a gym where they meet at around 5am to practice their training routines under the guidance of the guru, Jawala Tewari.

"Mud-puddling is the phenomenon mostly seen in butterflies and involves their aggregation on substrates like wet soil, dung and carrion to obtain nutrients such as salts and amino acids. This behaviour has also been seen in some other insects, notably the leafhoppers.
Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are diverse in their strategies to gather liquid nutrients. Typically, mud-puddling behavior takes place on wet soil. But even sweat on human skin may be attractive to butterflies. The most unusual sources include blood and tears
This behaviour is restricted to males in many species, and in some like Battus philenor the presence of an assembly of butterflies on the ground acts as a stimulus to join the presumptive mud-puddling flock"

There was a little rain over the weekend forming some puddles and lots and lots of mud and with it the House Martins were frantically collecting it for their respective nests :) Cheers everyone

After raining for 10 days straight, it's finally let up a bit. I was desperate to go for a walkabout even though the sky is still heavy and grey. Mostly what I found was mud.
No kidding. The swamps at Coyote HIlls have all turned into mud cracks. Taken with Samyang 14mm F2.8 Lens at F11.

Royal Air Force No.9 Squadron Panavia Tornado GR.1 ZA602/AZ in the line-up at the 1990 IAT held at Boscombe Down
One of ten 'Tonkas' there that year, Boscombe was a great 'intermediate' venue with loads of space and unlike Greenham before it, generally a North viewing aspect, especially for the flying display, which is always a bonus for photography
