Hampshire, 21st March 2012.

Well! I seemed to have crashed the Darter Party today! And nearly November!

Dodging the monsoons and winds after work today - spotted this Large Heath lunching on the old withered blackberries

I would have been quite happy with just leaves - amazing colours, but this Canada goose wanted to play the challenge too :)r

Bombus lucorum (I think) feeding on Rhododendron.

as do I.

I have been watching these Barn Owls for years and some days are just mindblowing.

I found hundreds of baby spiders on our front gate this morning, what are they?

I was at Springwatch's very own Pensthorpe, on Monday 22nd March for my birthday, and took some photos of the wildlife there. Me and my girlfriend came across lots and lots of frogs along the pathway, had to spend a lot of the time looking down as to not step on them! I guess we chose a good day, seemed like they were making their first 'hops' into the new world!
