Not birds, but finally got to the coast (only 2 miles away) to see the pod of dolphins that have been spotted regularly over the last few weeks. Loads of them but this was my best shot.

Their testes atrophy after the breeding season ER, so definitely less ballsy. Testosterone levels fall as soon as the last brood is raised, and aggression towards other males falls with testosterone levels.

It is all controlled by the production of luteinizing hormone in the pituitary, and is linked to day length.

Bet you wished you'd never asked.

This (heavily cropped) view from my dining room window yesterday made me day!

On a run yesterday on narrow country lanes when a car overtook then just stopped. As I slowed to try and figure out what the car was doing I realised there was something in the road in front of the car... Well it was only a kestrel, poor fella must've tired himself out because he didn't try to fly or anything when we approached. Anyway we managed to coax it to safety just off the side of the road and both car and runner carried on their merry way. No picture as I wasn't carrying my phone.
