Unfortunately I missed a shot of a green woodpecker about 4m behind me (it flew off when I turned) but I was fascinated by this fella. He eventually shot into the undergrowth - nesting material perhaps?
As the sun set, Plymouth harbour became the backdrop for the festival launch event. Legendary saxophonist Evan Parker played with Behaviour, a large group of performers playing invented instruments, laptops and more.
Spring is in the air and the breeding season begins. Natural behaviour but fascinating to watch their courtship ritual which began with synchronised dipping, a little canoodling and then well........................

This photo is one of two of the butterfly shots I chose from a recent trip to Chartwell, home of Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill used to raise butterflies in a butterfly house converted from a summerhouse in the 1940s and The National Trust carry on this tradition meaning that there are always lots of beautiful butterflies to see, particularly around the Buddleias.

From Wikipedia
These birds are insectivorous, but will readily take wax-myrtle berries in winter, a habit which gives the species its name

Throat feature wraps around to towards back of auriculars...but auricular dark line not that strong
The strength in the beak of those animals is amazing. One would have extreme difficulties breaking those green cones with human instruments. Why do they actually destroy cones that would otherwise bear edible nuts at maturity is a mystery to me.
The passing potential prey in the foreground that seems to trigger a rapid approach by the Arctosa may be just ant that maybe something this spider avoids eating ( judging from a few observations in Strathspey, Scotland),. On a threatened site in Sutherland, Scotland.
While watching what I now understand are Wall Lizards on Portland, I noticed this sequence. The larger lizard on the right, as quick as flash, raced across the stones and grabbed the smaller one. It then disappeared down under the stones, only to reappear quite quickly without its prize. I have no idea what happened to the smaller lizard. It might well be part of the breeding pattern but can you help with this behaviour?
