What is buzzing or flying near you today??

They live just outside the tunnel The adults come in every year to give birth, they will leave about july and return next april.

 

My son spotted this nest (perhaps wren?) built on top of last years swallows'! How very resourceful! Waited a wee while, but didn't see the occupant, and didn't want to disturb them anyway.

 

Well, I don't have any pictures, but am sat here with the back door open, and the Sparrows are chirping away like mad!!!! What a lovely sound!!!

 

Super pics bob!

I must say, a lot of you folks have both skill and patience to get such wonderful shots. Thanks for sharing with us.

 

Cracking pics. Bob..........

Spotted this to-day,I think it is the Lime Hawk Moth....just like army camouflage

 

Wow Bob and wow roders yous must have incredible zooms on you cameras cos the pics are so close up and not to mention the details is both lots outstanding my hats off to both of you wish i could take pics like that well done

 

great pics.
i really must get a new camera.
hu,guess i'd better get a new job though first. :D

 

Hoopoe in the yard this afternoon - sorry about the poor quality pic - taken through glass and blown up to football pitch size to get this little bit!

 

You done great with the pic.Hyla well done, Hoopoes occasionaly tun up on the south coast of the uk one was reported once in the shetlands, never seen one in person so to speak, beautiful bird

 

We had one here two days ago but I didn't know till yesterday :( , second one this year in Weymouth, looks great with the crest up HA.

 

Fantastic pictures folks love the moth roders. I pictured this goldspot moth today, supposed to be fairly common but this is the first one I`ve ever seen, according to my book, they should only appear in June.

Common I know but I couldn't resist them.




(both at Stourhead today).

 

Good shots, guys! Were these two on the full zoom on the Panasonic strongy? With a tripod or some sort of support? Impressively sharp! Pip's third shot of the Gold Spot is lovely - could you have got it to pose on a twig, though?!!!!

 

To be honest Ha, the Robin was about 8ft away so I hardly needed the zoom and the rabbit about 12ft away(4x). I don't carry a tripod as I used to with my old SLR, all pics are hand held and thanks to the image stabiliser have come out sharp. Thanks for your comment as I am still finding my way around with this camera.

 

Whats this gorgeous caterpillar?I know we have had it before,found him on my roses.
