A couple of large white caterpillars resting on the remains of a nasturtium leaf in the garden. The shed skins on it show that they are growing well.
Our tub of nasturtiums have become a miniature wildlife park with more blackfly (hunted by hoverfly larvae) and caterpillars than flowers. As I'm more of a wildlife photographer than a gardener we're just letting nature take its course.
Another wildflower that is abundant in ditches and roadsides.
Tansy is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant in the genus Tanacetum in the aster family, native to temperate Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to other parts of the world, including North America, and in some areas has become invasive.
Some butterflies seen yesterday. None on the ground (except numerous meadow browns) but a few on the brambles at the edge of the field. There was also a red admiral there but I didn't get a photo of that.
Nothing special here but at least something to see and photograph in this fairly barren spell for weather and sightings.
A couple of these seen.
Double-crested Cormorant. Found near rivers, lakes and along the coastline. It mainly eats fish and hunts by swimming and diving. Its feathers, like those of all cormorants, are not waterproof and it must spend time drying them out after spending time in the water. Once threatened by use of DDT, the numbers of this bird have increased markedly in recent years. IMG_7571
2 more photos from my visit to see these butterflies.
This is probably the most I saw one spread its wings where I could get a photo.
Oh, another one of those stitched panorama macro shots where the subject is to large to fit in frame, right?
Wrong. This blunt stretch spider (Tetragnatha obtusa) is absolutely small enough to fit in frame (as can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52807137438/), but since the top and bottom was just pure white, I figured I could get away with cropping that away and make this a 21:9 image.
And the trickery doesn't stop there. This is also rotated 180 degrees as I found this one upside-down in the veranda ceiling so I had to get a stool (which was a little too high) and shoot this with the camera upside down, pressing the shutter button with my left pinky finger (my mom took a photo of me looking very elegant here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52806686381/).
This is a focus stack, but instead of just taking multiple shots while moving or shifting focus ever so slightly, here I actually lowered the camera and rested between two shots because of the awkward position and still somehow managed to get the exact same angle and focus where it was needed - I'm as surprised as anyone!
Looking closely at this spider, you can see what will be its doom. On the back of it, there is a larvae of the parasitic wasp Acrodactyla quadrisculpta which has attached itself and will eat of the spider - but not enough to kill it until the larvae is ready to pupate.
Pieris brassicae, the large white, also called cabbage butterfly, cabbage white, cabbage moth (erroneously), or in India the large cabbage white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae.
An unusually large family of geese. There seem to be four adults so maybe they have combined two nests worth of babies but it still seems like a lot of babies.
Just when the little birds were plucking up courage to return to our garden to feed after recent killings this happens. Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) with dead Starling.
Taken at an oblique angle through the kitchen window.
One of Lincolnshire's rarer butterflies, Large Heath...Coenonympha tullia.
Crowle Moor NR.
14th June 2020.
58023, the only operational Class 58, arrives at Bewdley during the SVR Spring Diesel Festival.
On the right is Wickham Trolley 9021, used occasionally for maintenance work along the line.
58023 was built in 1984 and operational on British Rail freight services until 1999. After being in storage it was purchased for preservation in 2016 and is currently at the Severn Valley after visiting for a 2024 Gala.
9021 was built in 1958 for the Ministry of Supply and used at their Kineton Depot and used there at other locations until 1977. It was purchased by the Severn Valley Railway for permanent way duties along with one other Wickham trolley.
