    Two Humpback Whales jumping out of the water. Note the fisherman in the foreground taking no notice whatsoever.

    It's a little known fact that ancestors of us humans are closely related to members of the corvus family. Crow-Magnons they were called.

    Not the best picture in the world, but something I've never seen before: Rats digging for winkles on the beach at Shoeburyness. How wonderfully resourceful these animals are. The rats would emerge from the big rocks that had been placed at the top of the beach to break the waves, they'd walk down across the beach and out onto the mudflat. They'd then root around until they had a winkle or two in their mouth at which point they'd bolt back to their hiding place as quickly as they could. I must go back when the weather is nicer and try to get some better pictures.

    Just saw a Heron fly over The Valley. We'll see what sort of an omen it is later.

    Charlton win with much flair!

    A Brown Bear emerging from the water after a 30 minute swim between two islands. What's this got to do with inner cities?  Well, this is in Sitka which, with its population of 8,355, is the biggest city in the USA (by area).  
    Tell me more about this biggest population stat stiggo?

    The city of Sitka covers 4,710 square miles. That makes it the biggest city in America. However with a population of 8,355 it means there's just 1.8 people per square mile. It is estimated that within the city there are approximately 1,000 Brown Bears. The US city with the largest population is New York with over 8 million people, but coving just 305 square miles, it's tiny compared to Sitka and there are no populations of bears living in NYC.
