What's Buzzing or Flying near you today... 2015

I did pick one up but Mum told me off,she was OK when I picked her up though.I know I shouldn't do it with wild birds but how can you resist...

 

Ey...You know me Woo ,I'd pick you up anytime my favourite Owl

 

Went looking for Hobbies as it was a decent day, apart from the wind, but I didn't see one as there were so many Dragonflies about (their main food) which was strange but a couple of Dartford Warblers were quite approachable and a few other 'odds and ends' were around on the heath.






A trio of Linnets.


Large female Skipper.




Black Tailed Skimmer?


Lattice Heath Moth.

 

Red Kite seen from a friends garden in Oakley near Basingstoke.

 

A baby frog, no bigger than my thumb nail



A pretty little Weevil, possibly Polydrusus. I like the pads on its feet


Leafcutter bee was very busy




A buff arches moth, it has such delicate wing patterns


A small magpie moth

 

These juveniles look like second broods.
Chiffchaff.

Captured on our walk this morning:-

No idea but I did like the colours



A bee decided to photo bomb this picture I was trying to capture the red "Bloodsucker" (no idea of its proper name, but that is what my brothers told me they were called when I was little. Actually, they scared me half to death because I believed them and as soon as I saw a group of 3 or more ... .... )



Not the clearest of photo's, but I had to be quick to try and capture the bee and the butterfly sharing a moment across the flower head


Although the foreground isn't clear, just look at how many buzzies are feasting here!

 

Thank you for your kind words and also the identification @wiseowl - that means I've learned two things from that photo:
1. Cinnabar moth caterpillar
2. The plant is ragwort

 

Woo, your butterfly looks like a male Gatekeeper and "M" yours looks like a Meadow Brown.
