What is buzzing or flying near you today??

Lovely shots Strongy, we don't see many of them in my neck of the woods :thumb:

Managed to snap this little one today, it was lovely to see a bluetit as this years breeding season was such a disaster for them, there's not been many at my table at all :(

 

Great shots Strongy and Rouxbee.:thumb:

 

Thanks Walnut.

Eeeeeeek more spiders!! (beginning to think you're plotting to scare me off this thread :wink


Good pic Kedi :thmb:

 

Another good one Kedi.:thumb:

 

Great shot Kedi....but I hate this time of year with webs everywhere in the garden just waiting for me to walk throughs00k

 

What wonderful photos everyone ... a buzard Ruby ... I don't know a Longtail, strongy .... and my dear Sis with her beloved spiders

My beautiful Swallowtail graced me with it's presence again and sort of sat still long enough for me to get a few pics, being quite shy at the beginning ....









I recently read that once they find a place they like, they come back all the time to the same shrub .... so it could be my Lantana and these are the same ones each time.

I'm still (im)patiently awaiting the arrival of it's cousin, the Scarce Swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius) .... more than a beauty .... and neither seem to have 'seasons' here like the Monarch. Although I see the Monarch year round, the Swallowtails only seem to be Autumn-Spring.

 

A very beautiful butterfly Lady..

 

Fantastic Lol,:thumb: they are such a rarity here.:(

Long Tailed Tits.

 

The first two are crickets, the third is a grasshopper (ID by length of antennae) but which types of cricket and grasshoper I've little or no idea.

 

Here goes Mike the first one looks like a Roesel's Bush Cricket metrioptera roeselii (m)
no2 Dark Bush Cricket pholidoptera griseoaptera (m)
no3 Common Field Grasshopper chorthippus brunneus (m)

 

Great shots LOL

I managed to catch this Nuthatch yesterday a first to my table!! i saw it come in grabbed the camera in the hope it would return and it did :thumb:

 

Great shot Rouxbee,well done.:thumb:

 

I thought this was one of the Whites but it doesn't match any of my pictures and the colour is a little creamy ... could it be a Green-veined White (Artogeia napi?

 

You are correct my Lady sometimes goes by the latin name of Pieris napi (don't know why)
