I rushed into the house to get the camera to capture this butterfly and bee on the same flower ...

 

Fantastic pic LofL.butterflys this time of year.

I'm sure you know that the first one is an introduced Canada Goose. The other one is an Egyptian Goose. Also feral, they were introduced into Britain from South Africa in the late 1700s.

 

Not a thread I usually particip[ate in, but had to show you this little chap who I found sunning himself on the doorstep this afternoon!!


He was about 6" long and although we see them often in the summer, I don't think I remember seeing them in January before!!!!!

 

A superb specimen, Windy, hopefully they will colonise other parts of Britain too.

 

That is amazing! I've never seen anything like it. Thanks Windy

 

Arne RSPB reserve at Poole Harbour this afternoon. No wind and some sun for a change.
Most of the birds including curlews, 4 spoonbills and 100+ avocets were too far away for pics.
Corfe Castle

Marsh tit on same feeder, there were Coals, Blues and Greats as well.

 

Excellent, strongy. Your weather seems clearer than mine today. Lovely photos.

Windy, cute critter! Well done photographing it!

 

Thanks LoL,
Windy you may know, your stick insect has been around since the 1920's in Cornwall (not your actual one!) along with two other species, all coming from New Zealand in plant deliveries. The Spiny stick insect can now be found as "far east" as Paignton and Torquay so they may spread. Yours is known as the Unarmed Stick insect and hasn't left Cornwall yet.
