A rare in North America, old-world snipe species. Similar to our common Wilson's snipe. Found by Bruce Mactavish on Saturday, Jan 11 in Ferryland, Newfoundland, Canada. Still present today Jan 13
The common was modelled on Coldham's Common in Cambridge.
I'm liking the foreground and background blur in this picture. It wasn't taken with macro on.

I don't run a moth trap very often (not at all this year) so I don't see lots of moths.
This one I see every year though
Common Snipe at Letham Pools. Had a few of these whizz by a few feet past our heads as we watched. One group of 8 together flew around at one point, with another two in the air as well.
First time I've taken my camera to a gig. So hard, just wanted to enjoy the music (and it WAS excellent) camera felt like a barrier, an intrusion. Add to that very low light, handheld and the numpty who forgot to re-set to RAW....oops
Amazing and very talented band. Shame about the woman behind the camera :-)
A lovely male Common Darter dragonfly obligingly sat on the rail of a wooden bridge at Woods Mill, so I was able to take a photo of him. I had to be patient because he flew up several times and turned to look - accusingly, I swear - at me. Eventually he must have decided I was harmless because he settled down again. I'd love to have taken a photo from the front, but he was on a bridge, so I'd have got a bit wet! :))
Common Pochard, Male (Aythya ferina)
Order: Anseriformes Family: Anatidae
A medium-sized migratory diving duck. Large numbers overwinter in Great Britain, after the birds retreat from Russia and Scandinavia. They're quite rare breeding birds in UK.
The adult male has a long dark bill with a grey band, a red head and neck, a black breast, red eyes and a grey back.

An unexpected treat to find at Fort Desoto in Pinellas County, Florida. Notice the black carpal bars that distinguish them from Forester's Terns. Photo by Connor Langan. The checklist on eBirds can be reviewed here: ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S22410099
A few large flocks are still hanging around. This one seemed to be taking a nap before the big flight north.
Well named - as the slimy-sticky, olive-green spore mass smells unpleasantly of carrion - which attracts swarms of flies that feed on the slime and carry away the spores which they later excrete elsewhere. Within a few hours, all the slime is consumed, leaving a white cap with a honey-comb surface
In the past this weird toadstool was used as an ingredient in love potions and aphrodisiacs and apparently even today in some parts of the world, they are fed to cattle to try and improve their fertility!
Common Poorwills are abundant up here in the Dragoons. I've just never gone out at night to try and photograph them (well, once, but it was a failure). Last night while driving up in a drizzling rain, one sat on the road and let me approach it within 15 feet. Think I'll try it again tonight!

The common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) is a snake indigenous to North America. Most garter snakes have a pattern of yellow stripes on a brown background and their average length is about 1 metre (3.3 ft) to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft).
Garters were long thought to be nonvenomous, but recent discoveries have revealed that they do in fact produce a mild neurotoxic venom
Garter snakes are mildly venomous.
Garter snakes are nevertheless harmless to humans due to the very low amounts of venom they produce, which is comparatively mild, and the fact that they lack an effective means of delivering it.
Ну, она же помойму гадюка =) по крайней мере так говорит веб. По российским статьям гадюка пипец как ядовита и всех убивает, ойойой, а по мне так в России просто всего боятся. Я поверю википедии -___-
We found this beauty while enjoying our evening walk in Eldred King Woodlands. =)

This Common Wart-hog, Phacochoerus africanus, was photographed in Kenya, as part of a research project utilizing motion-activated camera-traps.
You are invited to go WILD on Smithsonian's interactive website, Smithsonian WILD, to learn more about the research and browse photos like this from around the world.
Autumn leaves and an autumn dragonfly specialist, the common darter can be found in flight well into November. All throughout October so far I've seen many still in the throws of mating.
