A few from the archives this evening...

A female Raft Spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus).

 

This is possibly the same individual spider featured on BBC Springwatch. Several weeks earlier, I took cameraman Lindsay McCreae to this very small pool, whilst finding things for him to film.

Tried something different... Light was awful!

He doesnt know how lucky he is to be alive, this hare narrowly missed a bullet by the looks of it.

Nice to see my Heather Crab Spider shot getting some air time on BBC SpringWatch Facebook Live Watch Out ! today:

Been playing with blossom. All natural light, a white overcast sky and into the sun. There will be some more of these - got the pictures in my head onto the camera...

This made BBC Springwatch photo of the day. Yay!!!

 

Was shown on BBC Springwatch Photo Club on 16th June 2010, and was discussed by Martin, Chris, and Kate.

 

Absolutely tiny grass snake. Maybe the size of a pencil. I mistook it for a worm until I took a closer look. It was slithering across the road while cars and cyclists went past. I stood by it for a good 20 minutes, photographing it and stopping it from getting run over. Great way to talk to people, as you kind of get their attention, standing in the middle of a small lane.

 

I shooed it into the hedge and watched it disappear into the grass and nettles.

  

Nice to see 'Ratty' the Water vole on 'SpringWatch Live' and iPlayer today, in Hannah Stitfalls interview with Steve Backshall... Makes a change from badgers...

After seeing the cute Treecreepers on Winterwatch, I thought I'd better upload a couple of shots of our local ones :-)

Sure sign summer has arrived.

Blackbird

We've been watching Springwatch on BBC so when I spotted this young blackbird doing a bit of sunbathing I thought I'd grab a photo.

Unfortunately the result isn't as sharp as I'd like so I probably should leave wildlife photography to the experts.

 

At Fowlsheugh on Monday.

Another shot of the Teal on Pennington Flash.

A few from the archives... of which there seem to be rather a lot of!!

 

A very windy afternoon in Angus.

Bit of a mixture this evening... seem to have a lot of 'archives' from earlier in the year, so bit of a 'Local Patch' selection...

While I waited for the Barn Owls which never show this turned up and landed on the gate just as the sun was setting.

It's all going on in the stream....
