A white-throated kingfisher is sitting on a branch in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India on October 2, 2023. The white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) also known as the white-breasted kingfisher is a tree kingfisher, found in Asia from the Sinai east through the Indian subcontinent to China and Indonesia. This kingfisher is a resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short-distance movements. It can often be found well away from water where it feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents, and even birds. During the breeding season, they call loudly in the mornings from prominent perches including the tops of buildings in urban areas or on wires.

A bird looks for insects while standing on the head of a female deer in Richmond Park, west of London on October 1, 2023. The deer mating season, also known as the rut, takes place in the autumn and the red stags and fallow bucks compete for females. In the lead up to the rut, there are a number of physiological changes to male deer including an increase of testosterone, the doubling of neck thickness, the larynx becoming more prominent and the tongue changing shape. Roars are used as the first line of defence as a way to deter rivals. A deeper louder roar signals a larger animal. The sound of a roar can help rival stags determine from a distance whether to try their luck, and females can use it to judge the best quality males in the area. Richmond Park and Bushy Park are home to over 1,000 free roaming red and fallow deer. (Photo by Adrian Dennis/AFP Photo)
