Big Cats ARE Living Wild in Britain!
This year has been a strange one, that’s for sure. As summer passes and the nights start to draw in, one could be forgiven for thinking things cannot get much weirder. However, things may just be about to get a whole lot weirder...

Ranking of the most dangerous animals in the world
1.The size of a blue-ringed octopus is only the size of a golf ball, but its flat surface is enough to kill 26 people in a few minutes. Attack until you start to feel paralyzed. At this point, the eyes begin to lose sleep, and then the respiratory system will stop working completely.

Squirrel!
Grey squirrels is the most common of numerous squirrel species found in North America, and is more notorious for being unafraid of humans and being more comfortable among us, however the endangered subspecies, the red squirrel, is increasingly at risk of extinction due to the grey squirrels being much more aggressive on collecting food and nesting, also the red squirrel is commercially harvested for its fur.

It's not just us
It’s not just us In the aftermath of BETA, our little Village has been devistated by the debris and damage brought on by the storm surge. Some homes that once stood majestically facing the Gulf are now in shambles with exposed wiring, plumbing and the like not to mention the destruction to their living space, decks, concrete pads, missing stairs and damaged pilings rendering them unsafe. Despolating changes affecting the beach itself as the dunes once proudly protecting our homes have been turned into ruins and in most cases washed away with back to back blasts from Mother Nature this year. Awe 2020 the year from a hot place! We will not soon forget the year that brought our lives to a halt and now depredation to our quaint little village.

The Birds of the Seas
The Dolphin is one of the most beautiful and lively marine creatures on this Earth. It sings underneath the Oceans of this world and jump out of the waters to ‘see’ the world we live in. They are graceful, sleek swimmers and can reach speeds of more than 18 miles an hour. They are playful and often frolic in a boat’s wake, leaping out of the water --- mainly for fun but also to communicate and shed pesky parasites.

Birds.
Recent research from Cornell University has combined the science of ornithology with artificial intelligence tools to allow researchers to capture bird migration that bird conservationists have always expected to be high. The study, led by scientists at the University of Michigan, examined data from more than 1.5 million birds collected from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Bird Survey between 1978 and 2016.

Red-Crowned Woodpecker
Recently, I was sent a photo showing a red-bellied woodpecker caught stealing a spotted woodpecker's nest. The male's bright red colour prompts the casual observer to call the bird "Red-headed Woodpecker," but a related, less common species, which actually has a completely red head, has already taken its name. Because the red-bellied woodpecker has so much red on his head People think their name should be "red-headed." The smaller woodpecker behaves similarly, with a yellow-red colour that is often not immediately visible, but the lighter red male causes the birds to be referred to as "red-headed" by casual observers.

Dead whale mother
in Western Scheldt near Terneuzen, 'doomed young'. One of the whales that were seen swimming in the Western Scheldt on Sunday was washed up dead near Terneuzen on Monday. According to SOS Dolfijn, this is an adult bottlenose whale of six meters. Her cub is still swimming around, but is also doomed.“If the calf still drinks milk from the mother, there is no chance of survival,” explains Annemarie van den Berg of SOS Dolfijn to Hart van Nederland. "The only thing we can do is keep an eye on the calf and possibly put it out of its misery." That is why there is a call to watch out for the whale cub.Rare in the Netherlands

Are You a Mosquito Magnet?
Mosquitos are smarter than most people realize. They have four well-developed senses (sight, smell, taste, and hearing), a capacity for making decisions, and have developed flavour preferences — yes they like some of us more than others, based on how we taste.
