WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU TODAY - 2017

Thank you S, I was only reading about the ovipositor yesterday regarding the dragonfly, it was going round laying eggs in my garden .


Small pond advice please

 

@martin-f the Dragonfly by your pond looks like a female Southern Hawker, same as the one in my mating shot.

 

Goldfinch are appearing in groups now this morning I counted seven in one group,


I positioned a cctv onto the feeders before it went dark tonight, it will alert me when somethings feeding, first bit of wildlife spotted as soon as id sat down was a mouse.

 

Thank you , after a closer look I think your correct, many thanks S

 

When you're wondering why you've seen very few flies or spiders about - then this appears in the utility room- well Brutus of the spider-world - ya now out on ya ear - out ya go, as you won't be feasting on any overwintering Flutterbys in my 'ouse - not this time ole long legs

​

 

Mating time , it will be a male searching for a female . now you've stopped his chocolate
Invasion of giant house spiders as mating season begins

 

YEP that's precisely WHY he woz ousted MartinF .....it woz the realisation of his ever-growing brood that accelerated this decision - any chocolate in this 'Ouse is ALL mine - NO sharing at this abode

 

We had one the other day, big spider the is I just let them be unless they turn up near the wife then I'm forced to move them ,

More goldfinch caught on cctv.

 

For a minute ...thought you meant Chocolate ......glad you cleared that up

 

no chance of that











Mouse

at home

 

Hi nice catch,

I'm considering making a moth trap, did you buy/make yours any pictures/links please, this one looks ok i have a old satellite dish that will be ideal

 

Noticed the other day I have seen loads of Red Admirals this year, even saw some peacocks in the front garden a few weeks back which I don't think I've ever seen before. Then this pops up in a news feed!

BBC Blogs - Springwatch - An admiral success - but other species may be declining

(ps. I try to keep off this thread as I have a massive phobia of butterflies..I know, I know ..ridiculous.)

 

AWwww don't worry you're not alone ...god bless anyone that has phobia's .....im so fortunate that i have no aversion of anything - cept nasty people! Good to see that you're noticing more, you never know it may just help a little with your phobia
