Part of a flock of approximately 30 juvenile common crossbills (Loxia curvirostra) at the forest edge. The out of focus purple areas are from heather which has a purple flower.

The Common Cerulean is found in wooded areas and edges of dense forests. It prefers areas that are partially sunlit so it can find both shade and sunlight easily.

Walked down to the river bank and discovered these baby turtles had just hatched, I think they may have had a little help getting out from a skunk the night before. I counted 5 or 6.
Common kingfisher

A common frog (Rana temporaria) in a pond in the Rivelin Valley.
Not a brilliantly sharp shot . The lighting was very poor so I couldn't get much depth of focus.

The Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) also known as Eurasian Kingfisher, or River Kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.
This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptions to enable it to see prey under water. The glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank.

Hanging around watching adders, this little chap appeared - taking life in hands being so close to a snoozing adder! Very impressive tongue. RSPB Minsmere
And then it happens… Photographing wildlife can be so frustrating at times. Not only does one need to capture a sharp image of a moving being, but one also has to have the light, an uncluttered view, and a pleasing pose. Take for example yesterday, while out a the Chicago Botanic Gardens I was looking for common redpolls. I arrived just before eight in the morning finally findings a flock around 8:45. However, the sky was overcast and the birds were about thirty feet up in some birch trees. One came down a little lower and I fired off a couple of shots only to see the whole flock scatter as though I was a Cooper’s hawk. They landed a little ways away and a few even started foraging on the ground for fallen seeds, having a fresh layer of snow from the previous day‘s winter weather, the seeds were easily found. Trying to get an image between the tall grasses that protruded through the snow was an exercise in frustration. The flock took flight again and I could not see where they went. After walking a bit I found them at the Hilltop Garden feeding on more birch seeds. This time there was a gentleman working a snow plow in the area. So they would go from one tree, and I would follow, to another strand of trees, with this lumbering fool lugging a camera staggering behind. Once they got to a more quiet location I was set for my photo shoot when eight ladies came walking by talking at an unusually loud decibel. Off go the redpolls! And then it happens.. They land in a tree and delighted me for about forty minutes, giving all sorts of poses, and behaviors. I fired off shot after shot, amassing over five hundred images. Many were blurry (these are busy little birds) and many have branches or catkins obstructing the view, but I did manage a few keepers. Finally, the bell tower at the top of the hill began to ring and the birds went flying. When all was done, I looked down and I was covered with little birch seeds, I’m just happy not to be covered with something else. A day of frustration turned into a delightful morning with these beautiful little birds. This is why I love wildlife photography.
Unfortunately, the light was never good, it stayed overcast the whole morning, but there was just enough light to give this little beauty a tiny sparckle in its eye.

She was the oldest loco to be purchased by Woodham Brothers for scrap, being built in October 1905.
She was allocated as follows:-
Westbourne Park, Old Oak Common, from 1911 she was allocated to Aberdare, and Pontypool Road. After WW1, she moved to St. Philips Marsh, followed by Tyseley in 1924.
Her BR allocations were thus:-
Hereford January 1948, Worcester June 1948, Hereford August 1948, Worcester July 1951, Chester September 1957, Pontypool Road June 1958, Ebbw Junction June 1958, Newton Abbott in December 1958, and finally Severn Tunnel Junction, in May 1960.
She was withdrawn from service in March 1963, and arrived at Woodham's in September 1963. Luckily, she left Woodham's in June 1981.
I hope you enjoy looking through my Flickr images. Please consider helping me pay for my Flickr subscription, and to replace my scanner with something that'll produce better images from the past.
I'd like to rescan all of my older uploads in the fullness of time.
Thank you.
Common aerial yellowjacket, Dolichovespula arenaria.
The thin vertical yellow line behind the head and the dark gap between eye and mandible distinguish from genus Vespula. Within Dolichovespula, D. arenaria is unique in having the yellow bands on terga 1 & 2 deeply incised, usually to interruption.

The Common Room (formerly called the Masters Common Room but that had to change). Staff should be arranged by length of service except senior management (that used to be just the head and 2nd master) but the ordering of the 1990 image appears to be fairly random.

Common Redstart
The Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), or often simply Redstart, is a small passerine bird in the redstart genus Phoenicurus. Like its relatives, it was formerly classed as a member of the Thrush family (Turdidae), but is now known to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae).
The Common Redstart shows some affinity to the European Robin in many of its habits and actions. It has the same general carriage, and chat-like behaviour, and is the same length at 13–14.5 cm long but slightly slimmer and not quite as heavy, weighing 11–23 g. The orange-red tail, from which it and other redstarts get their names ("start" is an old word for "tail"), is frequently quivered. Among common European birds, only the Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochrurus) has a similarly coloured tail.
