Common Darter ( Sympetrum striolatum)
As it's name suggests this dragonfly is very abundant in England. It breeds in still water, even stagnant ponds, and can be seen well into November.
The males become a bright orange-red with maturity with small black spots near the end of its abdomen.
Females have a pale, yellowish-brown abdomen often developing red markings along the segment boundaries and medial line as they age.
I've added a photograph of the female in the comments section.
Thank you for your kind comments, faves and invites. Your visit to my photostream is very much appreciated.
Wishing you a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead :)
The second Common Lizard I have ever seen in Britain and my garden. Warming itself up, not that all this rain could have been much good for some of our amphibians! At this time of year, July or August, the female Common Lizards give birth to up to 11 babies. Seal, Kent. (Thanks to all those who fav the photo, really appreciated!)

Looks really grainy on Flickr!!!!

The common blackbird breeds in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to Canada, United States, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, the Falkland Islands, Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
The common blackbird is the national bird of Sweden, which has a breeding population of 1–2 million pairs, and was featured on a 30 öre Christmas postage stamp in 1970.
on a blade of grass at the side of the road, they are 5-7mm long and, obviously, resemble a frog, they are also called cuckoo-spit insects as their nymphs surround themselves with protective masses of white froth, interesting, I didn't know that, courtesy of my clever little book!
The common toad is one of the most misunderstood animals of the European fauna. Its stubby appearance, clumsy movements and slimy skin generate an irrational rejection in many people. However, it is one of our most valuable allies in the fight against the annoying nocturnal insects that it hunts and eats anxiously during its long nocturnal runs. This origami model emerged from the search for heads with bulging eyes in the frenzy that follows an AEP Convention. It is simple and at the same time it is a perfect model to fold with a 15x15cm Kami.

El sapo común es uno de los animales más incomprendidos de la fauna europea. Su aspecto rechoncho, movimientos torpes y piel viscosa generan un rechazo irracional en muchas personas. Sin embargo es uno de nuestros más valiosos aliados en la lucha contra los molestos insectos nocturnos que caza y come con fruición durante sus largas correrías nocturnas. Este modelo de origami surgió de la búsqueda de cabezas con ojos saltones en el frenesí que sigue a una Convención de la AEP. Es sencillo y a la vez resultón, un modelo perfecto para doblar con un Kami de 15x15cm.

This was taken in a beautiful field with all sorts of summer blooming wildflowers.

These are shots of Common Goldeneye from the open water at Goldbar Park here. It is always fun to try to catch these guys in flight. They fly very fast. I caught these males just before lift off.
In addition to more Goldeneye shots, I have also included a shot of a Common Merganser at the same location because I have never seen one on the river in winter.

COMMON BLUEBOTTLE
(also called Blue Triangle)
Graphium sarpedon pagus Linnaeus 1758
Papilionidae; Papilioninae; Leptocircini
September 20, 2017 - Baguio City
Very striking and long-tailed bright rusty cuckoo, widespread in tropical lowlands and locally up into foothills. No similar species in its Mexican and Central American range, but in the Amazon compare with Black-bellied Cuckoo. Occurs in a wide range of wooded and forest edge habitats. Mostly seen foraging stealthily at mid-upper levels in trees, where it can be surprisingly difficult to see.
This one was photographed in Ecuador on a photography tour led by Juan Carlos Vindas of Neotropic Photo Tours.
Taken in Northern Wisconsin on Long Lake. The Common Loon has a call that is unmistakable. Their combination of yodels, hoots and tremolo are stunning. No matter what I am doing when I hear one, I have to stop what I am doing and listen.
I went out for Warblers today as I always do at this time of year. While following a Tennessee Warbler down a trail that leads to the river, I got close to a group of 22 Mergansers resting on the river shore. I have never been this close to one. I think they are juvenile Common Mergansers. I posted a group shot in the comment box.

This was a fairly common butterfly on the trip. I have uploaded another photo of one because I am very happy with the photo.
These kingfisher's are indeed very common this year in Belgium. It has to do with the very soft winter we had. Some winters, almost all the staying birds may wipe out due to the lack of food (frozen ponds).
This is a very easy shot, taken in Testelt, where many people come to take pictures of these beautiful birds, because it is very easy there to see them from no more than 3 meters (10ft) distance. I prefer to take pictures from somewhat more challanging places, just for the fun of it...
This bird was looking up, because a buzzard was flying over...
Went to the Gentleshaw Common yesterday morning and walk upto the hills top in time for the sun rise.
But I am amazed that in September when I came here to do a photo shoot for my girl, the place was blue sky and full of wild flowers. Now it was red and orange leaves and grasses carpet the grounds and it give this place another beautiful sight.
