Scottish Squirrels are seemingly nuts for nuts.
Wildlife photographer Ed Brown captured what can only be described a rodent robbery on a visit to Queen Elizabeth Forest Park in Scotland.
Two red squirrels were perched on a nut feeder, but despite there being dozens of nuts available one cheeky critter was intent on stealing its pals treat.
After a lot of tussling - including a couple of defensive "slaps" in the face - the naughty nut-stealer on the right was successful.
Ed explains: "There must be over a hundred nuts in that box behind them but for some reason the guy on the right just had to have the nut his mate had, even if he did take a right hook for it!
"The one on the left gave a couple of defensive slaps, but the nut is dropped and the squirrel on the right is the victor.
"Funnily, the one that dropped the nut just helped himself to another from the feeder."

Thousands Of Children's Lives At Risk As Deadly Cholera Outbreak Spreads Through Sudan
Save The Children has reported today (11 July) that Cholera is likely to put thousands of more lives at risk as South Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on the continent,
The latest cholera outbreak in the Torit County is growing rapidly and illustrates how the highly infectious disease is quickly spreading throughout the country.
This is the latest outbreak of a disease that has already contaminated over 2,600 people and killed more than 60 since the first cases were reported by Save The Children in Juba on 15th May.
Cholera causes severe vomiting and diarrhoea among children and adults, which in turn leads to severe dehydration and, if treatment is not provided rapidly, to patients' death. The disease has now spread to many areas in the country, with outbreaks or alerts reported in nine out of ten States.
Children because of their age and developmental stage, are particularly susceptible to dying from the disease.
South Sudanese children are even more vulnerable as seven months of violence has forced 1.5 million people from their homes and brought the world's youngest nation, which turned three on 9 July to the brink of famine.
Calamantina livers in Sudan with her children. Her four-year old-daughter, Lopa, is being treated for cholera at the Save the Children-supported health centre in Idale, Eastern Equatoria, South Sudan. Calamantina lost three children to cholera in 2006.

Calamantina and her four year old daughter Lopa who has cholera and other child sit outside the health clinic where a drip is hung from a nearby tree.
Calamantina says, "I have experienced death of my children from cholera. In 2006, three of my children died from cholera and now this is the second time it is here.
At that time my children started vomiting and had diarrhoea. After three days, one passed away. The following day, another passed away and after five days, my ten year old son passed away.
Lopa is still somehow sick and Iâm worried about that. Sheâs in a lot of pain â her stomach. When she goes to the toilet, itâs just liquid.
My other children passed away because there was no proper treatment like weâre having now. Iâm asking the Government to increase the work theyâre doing here to help my children. Itâs the Governmentâs responsibility."

Kaisrer Wilhelm's Dutch Refuge Under Threat
He lost a war, an empire, a crown and a country. Now, nearly a century after the beginning of the bloodbath his ambition spawned, the last Kaiser of Germany is poised to lose his final resting place in the country that offered him sanctuary.
Holland is pulling the plug on House Doorn, the refuge for Kaiser Wilhelm II - known to a generation who fought the Great War as Kaiser Bill - as part of the general austerity cuts sweeping a Europe he tried so desperately to conquer. A unique shrine to his times, his ambition and, above all, to his overarching vanity, House Doorn and its ghosts are about to be mothballed for eternity for the sake of less than 200,000 pounds.
That is the shortfall between what the mansion and its treasures takes in from paying visitors and what the Dutch state, pressed like most others in Europe, pays in annual grants to keep the time capsule of the Kaiser's life open. If it closes in the new year, as it must if no solution is found, this martial Downton Abbey will be shuttered and its truly priceless treasures - from ornate silverware and porcelain, to uniforms and photos, letters and medals that drape like flowers from behind glass frames - boxed and hidden from view for good.
What makes House Doorn unique among historical sites is the fact that the clock stopped on June 4 1941 when he died and nothing has changed since. The bed he breathed his last on is still made up, adorned with the last bouquet of dried flowers from his son he ever received; the last cigar he never got to smoke still sits in the turret room, which he turned into a study, next to the correspondence he never got to finish. The dining table, complete with its graceful silver birds seemingly moving through a forest of cutlery...

The World of Charles Dickens book by Stephen Browning - Jan 2012

Covent Garden. Tom and Ruth wander here happily in Martin Chuzzlewit. David buys Dora flowers here in David Copperfield. In real life Dickens would sometimes rent rooms here as his offices in Wellington Street were a few minutes away.
Book Explores The World of Charles Dickens
With the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth commemorated on 7th February, a new book delves deep into the characters and locations featured in his classic works.
The World of Charles Dickens by Stephen Browning sees the author embark on a fascinating literary adventure throughout Britain.
His journey is illuminated by over 200 photographs taken especially for the book of locations in London, Kent, Yorkshire, the Midlands, the South of England, the West Country and East Anglia.
They include well-known locations including what is thought to be the Old Curiosity Shop in London, Dickens beloved sea-facing Bleak House in Broadstairs and the writer's London home in Holborn.
There are also trips to Rochester, the setting for Great Expectations and The Pickwick Papers, and The Lizard in Cornwall where Dickens would enjoy inspiring walks.
The pictures were shot over the course of a year and represent a reflection of Stephen Browning's lifelong admiration for Dickens.
Dickens is perhaps best known for bringing to life areas of London and parts of the capital are still evocative of his characters and storylines.
Stephen explains: "It is hard to choose a favourite location but maybe the Strand, where he walked both as a boy and as a man up to his offices in Wellington Street. I always see him here striding purposely in his flamboyant waistcoats.
"He was very famous and people would often double back to get another look at him. Or around the Bank of England where Scrooge would prowl. Smithfield too is one of his favourite loc...

Night heron steals a duckling for dinner, Redwood City, California, America - Oct 2011

(Pic 6) A night heron takes off with its dinner, a duckling that has wandered too far from its mother. The duckling and another startled duck make eye contact. A startled American Avocet in the foreground flies away.
Night Heron Snatches Duckling For Dinner
These shocking images show nature at its worst.
A night heron is pictured taking off with a duckling that has swum too far away from its mother.
As the heron flies off with his dinner, eye contact is made between the mother duck and her duckling who is struggling to get away.
Wildlife photographer Michael Yang was taking his wife out to spot some cute wildlife at Radio Road in California to cheer her up after being ill for a few days.
He said: "We were hoping to find some baby avocets, stilts, or ducklings and were both really happy to see several families of ducklings following their mothers around the pond.
"As we were watching the ducklings a night heron flew in, which are not uncommon in the area but what we did not expect to see was the night heron land near a duckling that had wandered a little too far from its mother and snatch it from the water."
The duckling tried to dive under water to escape the night heron; unfortunately it didn't get deep enough and the heron pulled it out of the water, grabbing the duckling by a foot.
It took off with its dinner all the while the duckling was being flung about like a rag doll in the heron's beak.
Michael said: "At some point in all this my wife had turned away and started sobbing. It didn't help that, through all this, I was taking pictures of the "event" and not comforting her instead."
The popular birding location in Northern California is home to a variety of birds including shorebirds, herons, egrets, ter...

Camera trap photographs by Blair Roberts, Kenya - 2011

Eland (Taurotragus oryx) were rare captures. They tend to be especially flighty around humans, so it is possible that my scent on the apparatus kept them away.
Peek-A-Boo: The World Through The Lens Of A Kenyan Camera Trap
You're wandering the plains of Kenya and you spot a mysterious metal box. You wouldn't be able to stop yourself having a quick peek, would you?
That was seemingly the reaction of all creatures great and small when ecology student Blair Roberts placed camera traps in the wildlife-rich region.
The 26-year-old wanted to study the feeding patterns of Thomson gazelle, but found her equipment captured some amazing - and hilarious - sights.
A cheeky Patas monkey, already an unusual-looking species, appears almost alien-like as it moves so near to the camera that cannot focus.
Similarly, in a side-splitting trio of images, an olive baboon takes such a close peek its nose nearly touches the lens.
In another picture, a juvenile olive baboon appears to cast a dismissive glance sideways at the camera as it follows it mother.
Other highlights include a Jungle Book-style herd of elephants sauntering by, a fearsome rhino looks about to charge at the camera, and, at one point, a pair of inquisitive cattle herders stopping to peer into the lens.
There are also cameo appearances from impala, zebra, oryx and, seeming slightly shy, a giraffe and ostrich that only poke their heads into the frame.
Night-vision images reveal buffalo, hyena and Jackson's hartebeest - along with an African elephant shortly before it knocked the camera over and bent the support pole to a 45 degree angle.
Blair, from Louisville, Kentucky, uses the images as part of dissertation research in her fourth year as a PhD student in Princeton University's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program.
She has set up ten heat- a...

Major pipeline bursts lose millions of litres of water in Mumbai, India - 25 Mar 2010
No, the monsoon hasn't come early, in fact the Indian megacity of Mumbai population 13.6 million lost 3 million litres of water in a matter of hours as part of a spate of problems the city had to endure with several major pipelines bursting over the last few days. The city is dependent on the pipes for its fresh water supply and millions of litres are pumped everyday from surrounding resevoirs on the city limits. The massive loss of water has resulted in the imposition of a further 30% cut for the entire city till sunday.

Bats invade the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia - 29 Feb 2008

It is census time in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens.But it is not humans who are being counted. It is the furry winged invaders that occupied the green sanctuary during the drought and have turned it into their inner-city squat. A year ago, said Tim Entwisle, the executive director of the Botanic Gardens Trust, it was thought the gardens were home to about 11,000 grey-headed flying foxes. Now, he suspects, there could be twice that many. "They are slowly trashing the place," he said. Branches have been breaking under their weight and their urine and droppings have been poisoning plants. "They are destroying the palm grove," said Dr Entwisle. "They are killing the trees. We have had 12 trees die and 45 are on the critical list. A couple on the critical list were planted in the 1820s."Although the new count, being undertaken by volunteers, will not be completed for several weeks, Dr Entwisle expects it will confirm that previous estimates of the flying fox population have been wildly underestimated. Among trees under threat is a flowering ash that was almost killed by the drought.In the 1990s, flying fox numbers were dramatically reduced by staff bashing metal lids, frightening the animals away. Now the gardens trust is seeking government permission to resume the evictions, possibly using mobile loud speakers on buggies to disturb them. Dr Entwisle said the evictions, if approved, would probably not begin until autumn next year, after the next breeding season. "The welfare of the flying foxes is important to us."
