These marmosets are gum-feeding specialists. They don't wait for gum-producing trees to exude gum but use their specially adapted chisel-like incisors to make small holes in the bark.This stimulates the flow of gum and enables them to have a year round supply. Their claw-like nails allow them to cling vertically to the trunks as they jump between trees.

The Nikkor 35mm/1.8 lens probably has one of the best bokeh-for-money relations! Common polypody (polypodium vulgare) is a very common plant in Finnish forests.

Common Darter - RHS Hyde Hall, Essex. Still trying these new extn rings! This time I had the 36mm+13mm on the macro lens. I'm quite pleased with the results unfortunately the Darter had enough of me getting ever closer and moved away before I could try other permutations.
A Wombat doing his best to look cute. These guys are fabulously indecisive beasts, which makes getting close to them very much easier! Whenever they make to go and hide in their burrow, if you freeze, then they also freeze which allows you to approach a bit closer until they make to go and hide in their burrow and then you freeze and so on it goes...
Photographing them wasn't all easy though, because there was a fair bit of cover and debris at ground level and these guys aren't exactly small! This image is full-frame with just the 300.

Last year my friend's parents gave me three Common Spotted Orchids from their garden where they have established naturally and proliferated wildly over the years.
I've kept them in pots, in the soil that was removed with them and was very pleased to see that all three have survived and have returned this year.
So I thought it would be a good project to record one of them every week.
