A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Thanks for the suggestion Brian. We do get occasional orange tipped butterflies. I guess this must be a female as there was no orange on it.
Many thanks, Joshua.
Thanks Ashley!
Hi Faredin, I am not convinced that this is a female blackbird because it was about 2 inches larger than the blackbirds in the garden, and it had a small but distinctive white patch on its rump. Is such variation usual in blackbirds? Also, the blackbirds in our garden tend to stay around all day whereas this bird stayed for a few minutes then left, so it did not appear to be "one of the family".
Thank you Sarah!
Hi Malcolm. I am sorry; I guess I was being lazy. The photos were taken in my garden which backs on to farmland. There is also a small woodland very close by.
Thanks. I went to see your photos of the slug eating the mushroom. Great shots!
Wonderful series! It looks as though the slug had a real feast with this mushroom.
