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

@Ellen we had them coming through air vents in a bedroom cause hubby blocked them in ! they had found a tiny hole in the brickwork and instead of him putting poison in then bricking them up he simply bricked them up so they escaped into the bedroom!! it was horrible!! we had to get a man that can out in the end! who pointed out hubbies mistake!

 

Oh no!!

 

Not as scary perhaps as having a bath with your girlfriend (it's OK, I married her) when there's a wasp nest behind the bath panel and they're coming out of gaps around the panel into the bathroom and your only means of defence is flicking them with a towel.

 

That is scary!!

 

Instead of flying straight in to roost just before dark, our new resident Blue Tit came for a look in the afternoon and kept popping it's head out, then flew off again.

 

You're on the case though . It looks like it's in residence for Winter so one day it will happen and you'll bump into one another......

This little Shield bug was sunning himself today...

 

Someone liked the warmth from my MIFI box

 

Caught sight of a Bearded Tit in the reed beds across the Humber today...Unfortunately to quick for me to get a picture..

 

I love it when you see Bearded Tits

 

Around the Colne estuary in Essex today. A wander along Wivenhoe waterfront, followed by a visit to Fingringhoe nature reserve. Mrs Trunky takes the credit for most of these photos (only the last one is mine).

Can't work out what the bird just behind the Lapwing is. Perhaps @strongylodon can help out with an ID?


I think I'm correct in saying these are Black Headed gulls?





Common Red Darter. There were lots of these buzzing around us in the sunshine as we walked along a woodland path. One or two actually landed on us!



Cormorant enjoying some late evening sun.



Several Egrets flew across the lake as we watched from one of the hides. Anyone know what the collective noun for a group of Egrets is?
