These peregrine falcon chicks look less than impressed as they are weighed, measured and ringed at Salisbury Cathedral. The chicks were carefully checked over by Ed Drewitt and his team from the British Trust for Ornithology. The youngsters, who were found to be two boys and two girls, were carefully removed from their nesting box at the top of the Cathdral's lofty tower, before being returned no worse the wear for the experience. This is the second time since 1953 that peregrines have successfully hatched eggs at Salisbury Cathedral. Last year three offspring fledged and this year the eggs were laid over Easter before hatching at the start of May.

Haunting Image Gets Photography Contest Seal Of Approval
A photographer's haunting shot of a seal floating amongst a kelp forest has been selected as the winning image in a global competition.
Named best overall phot, the shot was taken by American Kyle McBurnie and shows the harbor seal peering through a kelp forest near San Diego in America.
Meanwhle, a British photographer's stunning shot of a spiky lionfish swimming after a shoal of fish was also one of the winning photographs from the University of Miami's annual Underwater Photography contest.

From small shrimps to huge hammerheads, the competition held by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science attracted more than 700 entries from across the world.
The remarkable pictures reveal a hidden world of colourful creatures of all shapes and sizes living deep beneath our oceans.
"I took the photo when I was diving on a big wreck of a Second World War ship in the Red Sea in Egypt," said Alex, who has been taking underwater pictures for five years.
"I was about 20 metres down under the sea and took lots of shots but this was the one that came out the best.
"I love taking underwater pictures as it is very peaceful and you have access to a hidden world which only a small minority of people gets to see."
A panel of experts judged the photos, which came from 23 countries and awards were given in three categories, macro, fish or marine animal portrait and wide angle.

Bird struggles to pull worm from out of ground, Holy Island, Northumberland, Britain - 20 Sep 2012
This hungry ringed plover looked like he was having a tough job pulling a sand-worm out of the ground. The tiny wader had to tug with all his might to wrench the wriggly worm out of the sand. But his efforts paid off as the sand-worm eventually shot out and the patient bird got his meal. "It was fascinating to watch as the bird pulled the worm to almost breaking point," said Scottish wildlife photographer Ron McCombe, 57, who lives in the Borders. "I would like to have seen what would have happened if the worm had broken. I would love to think the bird would have flipped over backwards but sadly I'm sure that never happens." He photographed the scene on Holy Island in North Northumberland, which is a popular spot for migrating birds. Ringed plover probe in the sand to locate the worms, then grab the end and pull them straight out of the hole. The birds also eat flies, spiders and molluscs.

Osprey chicks ringed as part of conservation efforts, Scottish borders, Scotland - 26 Jun 2012
Forestry Commission Wildlife Officer Tony Lightley needed a real head for heights today after climbing up to a lofty Osprey nest in the Scottish borders. He also had to avoid sharp talons and beaks and beating wings in an effort to retrieve several young chicks so they could be ringed. The youngsters have to be ringed for conservation reasons and it will also help wildlife officers gain an insight into their movements once they have left the nest. Previous chicks that have been born and raised in the same location have already been seen distributed around the country. This year the nest is home to two chicks - who were the first to be born in Scotland this year when they hatched last month. The parents have been using the nest since 2004 and have raised 17 chicks between them.

The youngsters have to be ringed for conservation reasons and it will also help wildlife officers gain an insight into their movements once they have left the nest. Previous chicks that have been born and raised in the same location have already been seen distributed around the country. This year the nest is home to two chicks - who were the first to be born in Scotland this year when they hatched last month. The parents have been using the nest since 2004 and have raised 17 chicks between them.

Lesser Kestrels, Lleida, Spain - Apr 2012

A pair of Lesser Kestrel is mating infront of their nesting tile on a barn roof. The birds are ringed for research purposes.
We Can See You! Falcon Preys For A Female
A small bird of prey was pictured peeking out from under a hollow roof tile while waiting for a female to mate with.
The red-blooded Lesser Kestrel had secured a nesting place for himself and a partner by chasing off intruders.
The series of images shows the male protecting his nest while attracting a female admirer.
Wildlife photographer Roy Mangersnes snapped a colony of kestrels in northern Spain.
He said: "The male kestrels would fight over available nesting holes and then wait for the females to check out their options before they would select their mate of the year.
"There were 20 pairs of birds nesting on a barn roof in Lleida, mostly under hollow tiles."
The Lesser Kestrel is a migrant and comes directly from Africa to start breeding.

The Kingfisher is Released After Being Checked and Ringed, For His Own Good....Undignified Yes!! But the Kingfisher is Unharmed as He Rests in the Catch Net Waiting to be Ringed, Weighed and Checked Over Before His Release
Trapped for the Good of His Species
TRAPPED FOR THE GOOD OF HIS SPECIES
It looks cruel but this tiny kingfisher in distress is actually helping its species.
The bird was trapped in a fine-mesh 'mist net' as part of a study by experts to record bird movements and numbers.
Once caught it is tagged with a leg-ring and added to a database which logs 800,000 each year across Britain and Ireland.
The work was carried out by the British Trust for Ornithology on the Axe estuary in East Devon last week.
Mike Tyler, who led the exercise, said his team caught five kingfishers in three hours.
'This is the highest number we have got in one go,' he said. 'Kingfishers travel so fast that people tend not to see them.
'These photographs were taken with a very fast digital camera.'
They also trapped 26 more specimens including robins, wrens, goldfinches, starlings, goldcrests and reed warblers.
Mr Tyler added: 'It's important we do not harm the birds because the idea of ringing them is to see how far they go, where they go, and how long they live.'
