A collection from the last few days when I didn't venture far or often. I'm trying to record all of the insects in my garden this year and currently enjoy finding and photographing them. Identifying them is often frustrating, and I lack the knowledge and enthusiasm and end up coming back to correct ID's!
Goldfinch video Tree Sparrow video Yellowhammer video
Dog Fox in my garden Vixen in my garden (seldom seen together)
Honey Bee methinks
Male Blackbird whose nest is in my garden
Dunnock, in the shade as always
Olive's latest new planting
Gooden's Nomad Bee, a parasite of Chocolate Mining Bees, Andrena scotica which nest in Olive's garden
A Small tortoiseshell Butterfly, and it was small for this species
The same, or maybe another Tree Bumblebee Queen from the one I saw earlier
Common Carder Bee, which wouldn't land or fly in the light
It was easier to catch the white Feral Pigeon in flight than the grey ones
This Kittiwake at Hatton had an injured wing and although this large dog approached, it didn't threaten the Kittiwake and returned to it's owner when called. That's rare!
Female Teal at Hatton
When I moved my feeders I thought these Tree Sparrows would disappear, they didn't
Yellowhammer guarding a nest near Hatton, it won't get peace on the busy track on one side and trains on the other
