A postman in Devon, England is being attacked on his daily mail route by an aggressive cock pheasant. The pheasant lies in wait for the postman and his red postal van along a 12-mile route, injuring the postman's hand and leg with its spurs.

The Chorokhi River delta in Georgia is an important stopover for migratory birds. It is home to critically endangered species like the Sociable Lapwing and hosts one of the last breeding pairs of Purple Swamphen in Georgia. The delta provides excellent birdwatching opportunities as well as a natural setting for swimming along the beach. Points of interest within the delta include grassy meadows, small ponds, and the rivermouth which are habitats for various birds like waders, waterfowl, and songbirds. The best times to visit are during the spring and autumn migrations.
Feral Cats @ JFK
1. Kennedy Airport is taking action to address overcrowding of feral cats on its premises that are descendants of escaped pets.
2. Animal activists allege that Port Authority workers are misleading the public by claiming feral cats being removed from JFK will be adopted, when most will actually be euthanized as they are unsuitable for adoption.
3. Trapping of JFK cats has been suspended while discussions continue between officials and animal groups, with 24 cats trapped so far and 24 saved by a TNR program, though tens of thousands of calls support implementing TNR fully.

Bette nesmith graham
Bette Nesmith Graham invented Liquid Paper in the 1950s as a way to correct typing mistakes after struggling with her own poor typing skills. She noticed painters could cover mistakes by painting over them, so she started using a white, water-based paint to correct her errors. Liquid Paper became popular and she began producing it in her kitchen and garage before patenting and trademarking the product, eventually selling her company to Gillette for $47.5 million after growing it to employ 200 people and distribute to 31 countries.

Postman plagued by jealous pheasant
- 1. POSTMAN PLAGUED BY JEALOUS PHEASANT A Devon postman is facing a daily assault on his round - from a jealous pheasant. The bird lies in wait for the 59-year-old as he drives his van on his 12-mile daily round in Swimbridge. So far the cock pheasant has injured Mr Patton's hand and leg, and has tried to sneak into his postal van. The postie said: "I think it is the red colour of the van which is triggering the aggression. Pheasants have spurs on their legs, and it flies and tries to get me with them. "I think it sees me as a giant pheasant which it has got to see off. It is totally obsessed by me and the van. I have been attacked by dogs in the past but never by a pheasant." Mr Patton says he now "runs the gauntlet" every day along a fifty-yard lane when he collects or delivers to a farm at one end and a cottage at the other. He says the bird sometimes changes its tactics by hiding or cutting corners to get ahead of him for a confrontation.
