This was an unexpected treat. My usual sighting of these is a flash flypast inside the woods, so to catch a glimpse of a pair, seemingly in courtship mode as they circled just above the trees... Bit of a grabbit shot, but a special one for me nonetheless.

I always advise people not to trust the fungi one finds in Epping Forest - here is a good illustration why. These flies visit a variety of unsavoury places before alighting on edible oyster mushrooms.
This Comma has been hibernating in a family members garage, but they are about to have the roof repaired so we have transported it into my greenhouse and hopefully less disturbances in the coming months. The male Comma is slightly darker than the female, and both sexes have a brighter golden form called Hutchinsoni, which is produced by the earliest caterpillars that developed in spring.
Fulmar in flight at Bempton Cliffs.
Although they are gull-like, Fulmars are "tubenose" (having large, raised nasal tubes), more closely related to albatrosses.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

This shot whilst not as good as those I would take later further down the lane, has a lovely soft feel created by the first rays of a new day.
On reviewing my pics from last week, I realised I had actually filmed both the upper barn owls.
These two shots were from my first encounter of the day. He flew off down the lane, having watched me for a few minutes, as I crouched down by a farm gate.
When I came across his partner a few minutes later, I incorrectly assumed they were the same bird.

These two little guys were spotted through the lens when a Katiannidae walked by them when I was photographing it on a laurel leaf
This is the nest that has been lovingly built in the Laundry Outhouse at our farm... A very busy place but mum has raised four beautiful chicks in there despite the comings and goings!
And maybe one of these as well...

I was watching Springwatch this evening and got a feeling of deja vu when I saw the Snipe photo on the back of their cue cards, and on the screen at the back of Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan. I don't mind the BBC using my photograph but it would have been nice to have been credited.
I took the photograph in Upper Teesdale four years ago.
