What is buzzing or flying near you today??

Woo - :gnthb: :gnthb: :gnthb:

Fantastic shot and the colours too!

 

Another brilliant shot Woo.:gnthb:

My work colleague went all the way to Buckinghamshire and didn't see a butterfly let alone the Blue Hairstreak. Oh well, win some lose some.:D

 

Another fantastic shot, Woo! :gnthb: :ntwrth: Lucky you coming upon such beauties not once but twice, you must be proud of yourself.


I found this little beetle on the Dunstable Downs recently. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is so I would like an ID please.






Lochmea sp - ID'd thanks to Strongy.

 

Kedi, it's a type of ground Beetle Lochmea sp, not sure which one.

 

Thanks Strongy.

 

Poor pics but distant fuzzy shots of a Marsh harrier this afternoon (they fly so fast) and one (of three) juvenile Herons.
The Reserve Hide was my walking limit.:D

 

Kathy, we watched for an hour or so and eventually the pair rose up and flew around together, I just couldn't get them both in the frame.:(
They have been seen passing food to each other in flight which is usually a sign of having young.:thumb:

There were eight Herons, first time I have seem adults and juvenles together, a lone Egret looked lost amongst them.

 

Is anybody aware of a 'pink' butterfly? I swear it was pink.....and was around my small wildlife garden this afternoon.

 

does a bumblebee nest under my shed count?

 

Natalie there are no pink butterflies could it have been an" elephant hawk moth" they are pink and green.

 

Of course it does, Andy.

 

Nicely captured, and you were lucky it stayed for awhile.
