The Large Skipper is a small, orange butterfly, similar to the Small Skipper. Adults fly between June and August, when they can often be seen resting in sunny positions and long grass, or feeding on flowers such as Bramble. Large Skippers can be found on rough grassland and sand dunes, along roadside verges and woodland edges, in large gardens, or anywhere else with plenty of grasses. They lay their eggs on grass blades. Foodplants of the caterpillars include Cock's-foot, Purple Moor-grass and False Broom.
They have russet-brown wings edged with large, dark brown patches and dotted with small, light orange patches. This pattern helps distinguish them from the Small and Essex Skippers. Males have a small black stripe in the middle of their forewings.
This little egret was closely following the white stork across the Ria Formosa mudbanks at Olhão. I also saw it or its kin paying close attention to spoonbills. I'm not sure whether it was hoping to steal food from the larger birds or if it was using them to disturb small prey items for it to snap up.
We hiked at low tide and viewed the particularly large and beautiful chalk cliffs in southern England.

They look rather plain at first sight, but close up there are lots of colours and textures going on.

In the tranquil expanse of Puerto Nariño, Amazonas, I had the privilege of photographing the Large-billed Tern, or Phaetusa simplex, a species that captures the quintessence of the Amazon's avian inhabitants. This particular shot was taken as the bird perched elegantly on a branch overlooking the calm waters, its prominent yellow bill a striking contrast to the blurred greens of the riverine backdrop. The tern's black-capped head, a delicate point of focus, draws the viewer's eye, while the soft bokeh amplifies its presence, encapsulating the serene ambiance of its habitat.
From a technical standpoint, the challenge was to balance the depth of field sufficiently to honor the tern's fine details while also rendering a dreamlike quality to the surroundings, emphasizing its natural habitat without detracting from the subject. The lighting was natural, diffused by the canopy overhead, providing a soft glow that highlighted the textures of the tern's feathers. Such moments are fleeting, and capturing them is a testament to patience and the continuous pursuit of that perfect intersection of light, composition, and timing that defines the art of wildlife photography.

The large red damselfly is a medium-sized damselfly which lives around the edge of ponds, lakes, ditches and canals and can also be found away from breeding sites in grassland and woodland. The earliest damselfly to emerge in the UK, it is on the wing from the end of April through to August. It is a regular visitor to gardens
Looking around the ponds of Harlow Carr for damselflies, when i should have been looking on the very bright orange wall. Where a large red damselfly was resting up.
A few avens remain in Gogerddan. This time I tried to capture them using my Nikon D7500 with a macro lens.
I have to believe that this is one of the larger Joshua Trees in Joshua Tree National Park. This monocotyledonous tree is native to the arid Southwestern United States, specifically California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, and to northwestern Mexico[8][dubious – discuss] It is confined mostly to the Mojave Desert between 400 and 1,800 m (1,300 and 5,900 ft) elevation. It thrives in the open grasslands of Queen Valley and Lost Horse Valley in Joshua Tree National Park. Other regions with large populations of the tree can be found northeast of Kingman, Arizona in Mohave County; and along U.S. 93 between the towns of Wickenburg and Wikieup, a route which has been designated the Joshua Tree Parkway of Arizona.[9] The common name Joshua tree apparently comes from Christian iconography.
