Chobham Heath

Few birds to be seen but some interesting fauna and flora at this Surrey Wildlife Trust site. Grayling Butterfly, Raft Spider, a Fox Moth caterpillar and a BeeWolf.

Hirundines

House Martin, Sand Martin, Barn Swallow and Common Swift snapped on the wing this evening.

Blue Sky @ Broom

Legless & Bully

The Slow Worm was crossing the cycle track in Willington and running the risk of getting flattened. As for the Bullfinch, I've been trying to pin him down for ages.

Broom Sunset

In the RAW

First attempts shooting in RAW format. Southern Hawker posed nicely for a change.

Swift

Not long now and they will be gone again for another year.

Clarence

Partner to the Little Owl photographed last week in Willington. This one is the regular cross-eyed bird seen for a number of years now.

Juv Common Tern

One of a family of colour-ringed Common Terns at Priory marina on Sunday. I can't quite pick out the ring though !

The Chilterns

Barn Owl

Four juveniles are exploring their new patch.........

Think I'll build an Ark

Even this Little Owl looks fed up with the rain in Willington.

New Camera, No Rain (well sort of!)

Why is that when you get a new camera it never stops raining ? Here's looking forward to the dry season - not sure when that might be though ?

Day one with my 30D and I already think it's flipin brilliant !

No room at the Inn

Lets hope the weather improves to give these youngsters a chance as they face the big outdoors.

RSPB Trip to Suffolk

Despite the rain !! Marsh Harrier in photo was feeding on one of these.

I bet you can't see me ?

I think these guys need a better hiding space !!

Ouse Farm, Tempsford

A lovely spot at the bridge over the River Ivel. Five Kingfisher in addition.

Wood Lane

Lovely light at Wood Lane this evening.

Leighton Moss

If I told you this was a White-tailed Lapwing would you hold it against me ? Best views that could be had from the road - approx half mile ?? Thanks for the drive Mark.

Cuckoo at Willington

This Cuckoo was calling and causing this Sedge Warbler much grief !!

White-legged Damselfly in cop

Plenty of pairs in cop along the river fringes..................
