SNBear sticks tongue out
This is a bit fishy... A brown bear appears to stick out its forked tongue. The large animal is devouring a fish it caught while splashing around in a lake.
The photos were taken by Kevin Ebi in the Katmai National Park, Alaska. The 52-year-old nature photographer said he stayed about 50 metres away from the 'strong' animals but added they had little interest in people. SEE OUR COPY FOR DETAILS. (FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS)

SWALLOW ME WHOLE… A Barn Swallow lives up to its name as it swoops into a stable, through the open barn door. The adults are seen coming back to their young to feed them, near Corwen, Denbighshire, in North Wales of which is their second brood of the year.
Wildlife photographer Richard Bowler captured these lovely shots after a lot of trial and error, saying, “Whilst most people just call them swallows, they are actually Barn Swallows. They’re sadly a species in decline though we have happily managed to increase from one nesting pair a couple of years ago in the barn to now two pairs. The barn provides a perfect nesting habitat for swallow broods. Adult swallows are in and out all the time with beak’s full of food, from beetles to flies and insects or moths.”
“The trial and error in shooting comes down to not being in the barn myself, but getting everything set up then using a remote control shutter and guessing when the swallow is in frame. I’ve shot hundreds of frames to get the right ones which can be very time consuming but I always end up happy with the final results. I love the colours of the bird, highlighted by the flash.”
