White-tailed sea eagles in Hungary - Dec 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Will Nicholls / Rex Features (2049946c)
Eagles Have Something To Crow Over
Oi you, give us a bit!
This hooded crow may be four times smaller than a white-tailed eagle, but it didn't stop it from demanding some of the bird of prey's fish supper.
The brave crow was spotted tugging on the tail feathers of the eagle in an effort to move it away from the tasty fish it had caught.
Wildlife photographer Will Nicholls captured the moment the plucky bird demanded its fair share as the sea eagle feasted in a field in Hungary.
The white-tailed eagle is Europe's biggest bird of prey.
Will comments: "These huge, majestic birds are the fourth largest raptors in the world and they don't let you forget it, displaying their seven foot wingspan in flight.
"Due to heavy rain an area of the field was flooded and the eagles weren't the only birds at the water; a hooded crow paused there too.
"The hooded crows are very brave, even tugging on the eagles' tail feathers to try and move them off the fish.
"However, the only time an eagle will move on from its fish is when another eagle wants a piece of it too".
Due to this the hungry crow could merely watch from the sidelines as the sea eagles got to chow down.

Cormorant Eats A Fish, Cheshire, Britain - 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Ben Hall / Rex Features (1947122f)
Triumphant Cormorant Shouts About Success
This triumphant Cormorant appears to be shouting about its success after catching and eating a juicy fish.
The victorious bird opened its beak wide and seemed to be crowing its delight to the sky following its rewarding fishing trip.
The hungry bird was spotted cruising for supper on a river in Cheshire by wildlife photographer Ben Hall.
Swimming along on the surface of the water, it quickly dived below after spotting a tasty treat swimming by - propelling itself using its feet.
Some cormorant species have been found to dive to depths of as much as 45 metres, so this particular specimen had no problem catching up to its prey.
Once back on the surface he was forced to juggle with the wriggling fish for a while but finally managed to gulp it down.
Ben comments: "This cormorant has a penchant for perch. He struggled with this one for about 5 minutes before finally managing to swallow it".
The replete bird then hopped onto a branch poking from the water to announce its success and smugly preen its feathers.

Murderous Grace Of The Owl That Spotted a Rat
A rat's days were numbered when a keen-eyed owl spotted it scampering through the snow.
These stunning images show the murderous grace of a barred owl swooping down on its prey.
Wildlife photographer Mircea Costina captured the scene after patiently watching the owl in its natural habitat.
He explains: "I found this bird in the forest, north of Quebec City, Canada. After a couple of hours in his company, at -30 degrees Celsius, finally, the owl started hunting. It was such a spectacular show!
"He captured a huge rat right in front of me. After that, he swooped up to a tree-branch perch and devoured the whole prey.
"It was an unforgettable day in company of this great raptor."
The barred owl is a large typical owl native to North America, and is also known as an eight hooter or hoot owl based on its distinctive call which is a series of eight accented hoots ending in oo-aw.
An opportunistic predator, the principal prey of the owl are meadow voles, followed by mice and shrews of various species. Other mammals preyed upon include rats, squirrels, rabbits.
Prey is usually devoured on the spot. Larger prey is carried to a feeding perch and torn apart before eating.

Kingfisher fishing in a stream in Deal, Kent, Britain - 20 Aug 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Tony Flashman/Solent News / Rex Features (1461437g)
Missed! Kingfisher Grabs Pebble Not Fish
This hapless kingfisher plunged into a British stream to catch a fish - but missed and grabbed a pebble instead.
The orange and turquoise bird was left flapping after the speedy fish darted off and evaded capture.
But, not to be put off, the common kingfisher returned to the water and this time managed to scoop up a meal.
Working with fellow photographers Mike Vurley and Rob McEwan, Tony Flashman spent ten hours a week for 18 months at the stream in question in Deal, Kent.
The 54-year-old would sit patiently in a hide watching the kingfishers as they fished.
He said: "This bird mis-timed its dive and missed the fish. It ended up picking up a small pebble that was nearby instead.
"It would have noticed its mistake pretty quickly when it went to bite into it and was met with a tough surface rather than something squidgy.
"The bird dropped the pebble before it emerged from the water.
"Kingfishers are extremely good at fishing and it is rare for them to miss.
"I spend hours at a time in my hide watching these spectacular birds. They are so enchanting.
"I have to be incredibly patient and alert at all times so I do not miss the best photographs.
"My camera can take nine frames a second and in that time the bird can leave its perch, dive into the water and leave with a fish.
"To get the timing right and get these photos is very difficult. I have taken hundreds of photos to get good one like these".

Red squirrels on Brownsea Island, Dorset, Britain - 07 Aug 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Dave Stevenson / Rex Features ( 1420094i )
Peekaboo I See You
These flirtatious red squirrels proved more than happy to have their photo taken - but only after a little playtime.
The bushy tailed and bright eyed creatures were snapped scampering around Brownsea Island in Dorset by photographer Dave Stevenson.
And to begin with the mischievous squirrels made him work hard for his photographs - popping up from behind leaves, around tree trunks and on top of branches.
Pausing for a moment they would then turn tail and disappear.
Such innocent scenes could soon be a thing of the past if recent research suggesting that some of Britain's best loved native species are facing an 'extinction crisis' is correct.
According to Doctor Toni Bunnell in less than two decades hedgehogs, squirrels and others will no longer be 'viable' species.
She made the discovery while carrying out a study for natural history TV channel Eden in which she measured recent populations and species' rate of decline.
Her report warns that red squirrels may have vanished from the UK 20 years from now.
As well as being at risk from habitat loss, red squirrels are also threatened by the spread of their non-native grey cousin.
Brownsea Island is the largest of eight islands that lie in Poole Harbour in Dorset.
It is one of the few places in southern England where red squirrels survive, largely because grey squirrels have never been introduced there.

Julie Cardoza and her performing parrots, San Jose, California, America - Dec 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Karine Aigner / Rex Features ( 1323914y )
Performing Parrots Take A Bow
Julie and Ed Cardoza's brood is a talented bunch - capably doing everything from roller skating and skateboarding to bowling and basketball.
And if you were to call them featherbrained, well, they probably wouldn't take any offence.
For the couple from San Jose in California raise and train performing parrots.
According to the Cardozas, teaching their feathered friends tricks enriches their lives because they enjoy the attention and activity.
Parrots can become depressed and socially deprived if not given a lot of time and attention.
So, the Cardozas appeal to their birds' needs by teaching them both natural and trained behaviours.
One of their stars is Harlequin Macaw Zac, who was hatched in 1988 and hand fed from the age of 10 weeks by Ed and Julie.
Zac is a hybrid Macaw, the product of a Blue and Gold Macaw crossed with a Green Wing Macaw.
He is also a brainy bird with a wide repertoire of tricks, including riding a bike and scooter, skateboarding, raising a flag and rolling over.
In addition he speaks over 100 words/phrases.
In his time Zac has performed over 5,000 shows as well as appearing on the Tonight Show and Animal Planet's Pet Star.
According to Julie Zac loves all food but he can't be spoiled too much or he won't eat his vegetables.
Forrest is a Green Wing Macaw hatched in 1990 and raised by the Cardozas from the age of four months.
Easy going and friendly, his tricks include roller skating and playing the shell game
Forrest loves to go through the drive-thru and would always order a fruit parfait if only he could say the word.
Slender Billed Cockatoo Piper's species is native to Eastern Australia and are very rare in the United States.
Piper was hatched in 2006 and she has been raised by the Cardozas since she was thre...

Amazing close-up pictures show deadly beauty of mantises, Costa Brava, Spain - 07 Sep 2010
With bulbous eyes and their strange stick-like bodies, these mantises look like creatures from another planet. Perched on the tiny stem of a plant, one insect enjoys a lunch of tiny yellow aphids. Another picture shows a mantis about to pounce on an unwitting butterfly and one incredible shot even shows the creatures in larvae form, not much bigger than a thorn. These incredible close-ups were snapped by wildlife enthusiast Jimmy Hoffman. The 50-year-old scours the vegetation around his home in the Costa Brava, Spain, looking for the insects. He said: "I've been interested in nature since I was a child and I've always had an eye for wildlife, especially insects. "Praying mantids are my favourite because of their special predatory behaviour, shapes and colours".

The spotted Chital deer remained unruffled while the ten Mynas birds flew down and landed on the stag's back, antlers and face. The amazing moment was captured by part time wildlife photographer Jagdeep Rajput while

Deer Used as a Perch by Hungry Mynah Birds
This deer doesn't bat an eyelid as a flock of birds swoops down to use him as a
lookout perch to scout grassland for insects.
The spotted Chital deer remained unruffled while the ten Mynas birds flew down
and landed on the stag's back, antlers and face.
The birds were desperate for a perch in the sparse meadows and found a willing
ally in the 3ft high deer.
A rain shower had just swept over the meadows and the birds were quick to use
the lookout as an ideal location to eye up insects driven out by the water.
The moment was captured by part time wildlife photographer Jagdeep Rajput while
visiting Corbett National Park's Dhikala meadows, in Uttaranchal, India.
Father of two Jagdeep, 49, has been taking photographs for about 20 years.
He said: "It was about 8am when I was just going to another part of the
national park, when I suddenly spotted the scene.
"It looked as if the Mynas birds were chasing the spotted deer.
"Actually they were in vast Dhikala meadows, which was perch-less, so they had
nowhere to sit and look for insects.
"So when they saw the deer, they all jumped on to him for a free ride.
Actually, Mynas visit these grasslands after the rains to feed on the insects.
"Of course, I was surprised to see this, as I had never heard or seen anything
like it before."

"So when they saw the deer, they all jumped on to him for a free ride.
Actually, Mynas visit these grasslands after the rains to feed on the insects.
"Of course, I was surprised to see this, as I had never heard or seen anything
like it before."

Urban Living Getting You Down... Wear Some Grass on Your Face
URBAN LIVING GETTING YOU DOWN? WEAR SOME GRASS ON YOUR FACE
With the credit crunch putting that dream home in the country further from reach - a wacky range of accessories promise to bring that rural vibe to wherever you happen to be.
Bio-accessories are a series of wearable couture jewellery which mask the unpleasant sights, sounds and scents of the city.
The brainchild of designers Brittany Veitch and Ben Landau they are "an attempt to bring some of the natural world back into civil living."
The range includes a facemask that allows you to bring through a filter of living grasses, brooches able to hold small plants and even headwear with attached bird perch.
In a statement the Australian creatives explain: "Each piece of Bio-accessories incorporates a living organism to accompany the wearer throughout their day, creating a symbiotic relationship.
"The human tends to the animal or plant, which reciprocates by bringing fresh air, light, greenery, privacy or birdsong to the wearer."
But do not rush down to your local eco-shop just yet, Bio-accessories are currently being exhibited as part of an Aussie craft fair.
