Female Blackbird (Turdus merula). Part of the Thrush family.
She just stayed there long enough for me to get this shot. A nano second later and she was on her way :)

Crinodendron hookerianum (Chile lantern tree)
Have this tree growing in relative shade. Must be getting on for 10 years old or more. Once in a while it gets pruned to promote new growth. If left alone it would be quite tall and wide, I have it around 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide.
C. hookerianum is a dense, hardy medium-sized evergreen shrub to 6m, with rigid, narrow, dark green leaves and fleshy, lantern-shaped, crimson flowers 2.5cm in length from late spring to late summer.

I tend to give the Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) a tough time. Scavengers, greedy eatin' machines. They are! Rural or urban. So I decided hit the breaks, bide my time and this plump specimen landed nearby, sat for a while letting all its food just been eaten digest. And as they do, they breathe in, self inflate and shudder around. This is what I captured :)

There's something about exposed roots that catches my eye.

Common bumblebees include garden, buff-tailed, red-tailed, white-tailed and field bumblebees.
They are social insects, living in colonies of up to 200 workers. Queens hibernate underground during the winter, emerging in spring to find suitable nest sites – for example, abandoned mouse holes. Each queen builds a nest of dried grasses and then lays about a dozen eggs that hatch into workers – sterile females.
The workers gather pollen and nectar to feed later batches of grubs. New queens and males hatch at the end of the season and mate. The males, workers and old queens die; new queens hibernate. Bumblebees are not aggressive and will only sting if they feel threatened. They are important pollinators of many plants and fruiting trees.
From my garden. Ferns to Flickr. They are steadily unfolding and now's the perfect time to get some macro shots.

The Alliums in my garden are coming out :) This particular type is the Allium Siculum. Also know as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells. What ever you know it as, it's a lovely perennial plant and delightful to see bees pollinate them from below.
New growth of this tree was fairly low to the ground hence being able to get these shots in the woodland of Hodsock Priory, Nottinghamshire.

Fern (Polypodiopsida).
Fern is widespread and often overlooked to some degree. With the advent of Spring they begin their new growth. Fascinating to capture the macro moments and colours they hold at this stage.

The herbaceous perennial, Rudbeckia's begin to make their yearly appearance in my garden. It's one of my favourite plants.
Rudbeckia fulgida, Goldsturm, Coneflower, Black-eyed Susans, what ever you know it as, they certainly bring the sunshine to your garden!
Seen this fella lurking in my garden. European Garden Spider (Araneus Diadematus)
Shot freehand, a little closer than I actually wanted to be. It's core web was around 18 inches with the anchors reaching out some 3-4 feet away.
Remember a couple of days ago? This fern was on the brink of unfurling. Take a look now, steadily stretching out :)
(Polypodiopsida)
Here we see a Common Daisy (Bellis perennis) emerging. Look closely and you can see the fine delicate web of a small spider.

Another from my garden. Perhaps my favourite flower. A burst of sunshine yellow to add to the colourful fauna at this time of year!
