What's Buzzing or Flying near you today.... 2014

Marvellous Jenny,the litle Tree creeper lives to fly another day

 

That made I laugh Jif

 

Do you call him "Tiny" ?

 

No I called him Norman

 

I'd call him Tiny if he were my newt.

 

He looks more like a Norman to me...

 

I do like to please, but what's funny about a plane with 4 engines, 2 wings and a tail please

 

It was the context of the thread, it's buzzing and flying near you, so it's going in Fair play

 

I was flying past him he was buzzing me so i took a picture of him

 

Went for a walk around some reed-beds yesterday in the hope of catching sight of reed warblers and I'm glad to say it was a success, though hubby threatened not to go out walking with me anymore since I spent ages trying to take photos. The small size of the birds, the denseness of the reeds plus my dodgy eyesight made finding the target in the camera viewfinder nearly impossible, so my dear hubby was using binoculars to help with spotting them. Here are a few photos from our joint effort

Reed warblers



Reed bunting


And a young stonechat, not sure what it was doing in among the reeds


Nearby there were recently cut hay fields with strips of wildflower meadow around them where there were hundreds of butterflies dancing about. The majority of them were meadow browns and most of the time they only touched down for a second or two so I didn't get any decent photos. In some uncut long grass we found a few large skippers:


Among the surrounding hedgerows, plenty of ringlets:

 

Wonderful pictures as always HsuH,
we are all learning from this,
thank you,
Jenny

 

Couple of days back, but i've only just uploaded the pics,

Ants



A leggless Lizard



And a Bulfinch

 

Nice one of the bullfinch Zigs. Don't see them all that often,
Jenny
