Some Flickr user named S. Sinclair has been ripping my pix off regularly - I have filed 4 Flickr DMCAs already and she slaps it back up on her feed. She claims she "found it on internet" - "She looked at my feed and I was obviously incapable of producing this work - and today claims I must have ripped it off as was too good for SL. My pix is my own and obviously older than her rip - Also I have other pix in same outfit in my feed. And I am wearing on my neck an item produced in SL I blogged for Eclipse Event. I dunno some days it just gets old...
Thank you Daisie for pointing this out to me

67 decorative giant sculptures of Wallace and Gromit will be located across Bristol from the 2nd of July as part of the 'The Gromit Unleashed trail' with the aim of raising money for Bristol city's Children's Hospital. A further aim is to get people walking around the city and promote healthy activities
Dozens of Bald Eagles in several brief, intense periods on a recent morning were flying from shore at various angles to a small commercial fishing boat that was tossing unwanted fish back into the water for them. Concurrently, many eagles were flying back to shore at various angles either with their prize or in frustrated failure. There were numerous incidents in which an eagle returning to shore to eat its fish was attacked by another eagle trying to force, in football jargon, a fumble of the fish back into the water. I saw multiple fish dropped and scooped up by the aggressor.
In this picture (pic #1) a bigger female is positioned to strip a fish out of the talons of what seems to be a smaller male. The male is giving her a head fake (also sports jargon) to make her think that he is going behind her. Instead he veered in front of her and they seemed to touch. But he managed to escape with the fish and vocalized in triumph (Pic #2). As he flew off, he tucked in the fish better to risk avert against another thief flying from shore to intercept him.
It was interesting to see some veterans of this kind of activity protect their fish by flying very low over the lake and land to reduce the number of possible angles of attack.
Contemplating Theft

Eagles seem to think it is easier to take someone else's meal rather than find their own. Here two fight over a midshipman fish.

The ever-opportunistic gull swept in to try to steal the catfish from the Red-breasted Merganser. Unfortunately, during its escape the merganser dropped the fish and the gull failed to retrieve it.

Chain your leg to the tire, works every time. Unless of course someone wants your bike bad enough to cut your leg off.
