Rottweiler cross Bless at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
Dog with permanently sad face struggles to find a new home, London, Britain - 12 Aug 2014
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p9hl
An abandoned dog is unable to find a home because of her permanently sad expression. Bless, a six-year-old Rottweiler cross, has been at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home for five months without any interest from potential owners. Bless was found on the streets of London as a stray. Despite a loving personality and a calm, kindly temperament, staff says she is always overlooked by visitors to the kennels, making her the longest staying resident of the famous charity's south London Home. Rob Young, Head of Dog Rehoming, said: "Bless has a mournful face but a heart of gold - anyone who meets her can't believe what a gentle giant she is. Although she looks sad she is an absolute joy to be around - that's why it's so sad for us that she's still in kennels rather than happily established in a loving home."

The Cormorant struggles with the eel
Cormorant struggles to eat an eel, Abbotsbury, Dorset, Britain - 28 Jul 2014
This Cormorant found itself facing a slippery customer as it tried to bag itself some lunch. The hungry bird was spotted wrestling with an eel by photographer Richard Austin on the lagoon at Abbotsbury, Dorset. After snagging the tasty treat the Cormorant tossed it into the air in order to gulp it down like it would a fish. However, the eel was clearly not keen to be anyone's supper and put up a spirited fight. The Cormorant was forced to wrestle with the troublesome creature as it writhed in desperation. Ultimately, however, resistance proved to be futile and the Cormorant emerged victorious. The Cormorant is Britain's most prolific underwater avian predator and dines on fish, small eels and even water snakes. It dives from the surface, often making a characteristic half-jump, to give a more streamlined entry into the water. Once underwater it propel itself after its prey using its feet.

Ospreys struggles to catch large fish, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland - 12 Jul 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Drew Buckley / Rex Features (2668135w)
Hungry Osprey Sees Giant Trout Dinner Slip Away
This hungry osprey bit off more that it could chew when it set its sights on snagging a monster trout.
The bird of prey swooped down to snatch the king-sized meal from a pond in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.
However, while hooking its prey proved easy making a quick getaway with it prize was not.
Following its dive to snag the fish, the osprey was left floundering around in the water in an attempt to lift off once again.
Eventually, it managed to get airbourne with the trout clutched in its talons, but at the last second the heavy fish slipped from its grasp.
Undaunted the osprey simply returned to the hunt and on its next attempt was able to fly away with a more modest sized dinner.
The moment the raptor struggled to bring home its supper was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Drew Buckley.
He comments: "The bird was submerged in the water for a good five to ten seconds trying to gain enough lift to haul this massive fish out of the water.
"In the end it looked exhausted and dropped it, only to return shortly after and catch a smaller one.
"It was an incredible spectacle, not only to photograph but to witness as well".
Speaking about the process of photographing the osprey, he adds: "The 4am start to settle down into the hide was rather tiring, but I was spurred on by the hope of capturing these birds doing what the do best - catching fish, diving into the water at full speed and surprising their prey".
Boasting a 2m wingspan, an osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized fish.
Due to this the birds of prey have become uniquely adapted to the challenges of catching their favourite feast.
To begin with the osprey will fly above the water's surface in order to locate a fish - gliding and soaring anythin...

Hungry Osprey Sees Giant Trout Dinner Slip Away
This hungry osprey bit off more that it could chew when it set its sights on snagging a monster trout.
The bird of prey swooped down to snatch the king-sized meal from a pond in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.
However, while hooking its prey proved easy making a quick getaway with it prize was not.
Following its dive to snag the fish, the osprey was left floundering around in the water in an attempt to lift off once again.
Eventually, it managed to get airbourne with the trout clutched in its talons, but at the last second the heavy fish slipped from its grasp.
Undaunted the osprey simply returned to the hunt and on its next attempt was able to fly away with a more modest sized dinner.
The moment the raptor struggled to bring home its supper was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Drew Buckley.
He comments: "The bird was submerged in the water for a good five to ten seconds trying to gain enough lift to haul this massive fish out of the water.
"In the end it looked exhausted and dropped it, only to return shortly after and catch a smaller one.
"It was an incredible spectacle, not only to photograph but to witness as well".
Speaking about the process of photographing the osprey, he adds: "The 4am start to settle down into the hide was rather tiring, but I was spurred on by the hope of capturing these birds doing what the do best - catching fish, diving into the water at full speed and surprising their prey".
Boasting a 2m wingspan, an osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized fish.
Due to this the birds of prey have become uniquely adapted to the challenges of catching their favourite feast.

Speaking about the process of photographing the osprey, he adds: "The 4am start to settle down into the hide was rather tiring, but I was spurred on by the hope of capturing these birds doing what the do best - catching fish, diving into the water at full speed and surprising their prey".
Boasting a 2m wingspan, an osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized fish.
Due to this the birds of prey have become uniquely adapted to the challenges of catching their favourite feast.
To begin with the osprey will fly above the water's surface in order to locate a fish - gliding and soaring anythin...

Ospreys struggles to catch large fish, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland - 12 Jul 2013

Hungry Osprey Sees Giant Trout Dinner Slip Away
This hungry osprey bit off more that it could chew when it set its sights on snagging a monster trout.
The bird of prey swooped down to snatch the king-sized meal from a pond in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.
However, while hooking its prey proved easy making a quick getaway with it prize was not.
Following its dive to snag the fish, the osprey was left floundering around in the water in an attempt to lift off once again.
Eventually, it managed to get airbourne with the trout clutched in its talons, but at the last second the heavy fish slipped from its grasp.
Undaunted the osprey simply returned to the hunt and on its next attempt was able to fly away with a more modest sized dinner.
The moment the raptor struggled to bring home its supper was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Drew Buckley.
He comments: "The bird was submerged in the water for a good five to ten seconds trying to gain enough lift to haul this massive fish out of the water.
"In the end it looked exhausted and dropped it, only to return shortly after and catch a smaller one.

Great grey owl struggles in windy conditions, Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada - Apr 2013

Getting In a Flap: Great Grey Owl Struggles in Windy Conditions
These amazing pictures show an owl getting in a real flap when windy conditions threatened to knock it off its perch.
But thankfully, the game great grey owl managed to desperately hook onto its branch and weather the storm.
Wildlife photographer Megan Lorenz captured the dramatic scenes last month in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada.
She explains: "I left early and found the owl within 10 minutes of looking. It was raining practically all day and very windy but, despite this, I spent a few hours with the owl who looked very wet and unhappy.
"The wind picked up even more and a few minutes after I started taking photos, it was obvious he was having problems.
"He was being blown all over the place and his talons were digging in desperately trying to keep his balance.
"There was a few moments that I actually thought he'd be blown off the branch and he didn't seem to have any control over his wings.
"I've spent many hours with great grey owls in the past in different locations but I've never witnessed anything like that.
"I felt horrible for the owl, but from a photography standpoint it was a great opportunity. Shortly after this series was taken, the wind died down and he flew to a more protected tree no worse for wear."
