A young badger I filmed back in May tucking in to raisins, the soundtrack is provided by a young woodpecker looking out of its hole above me.

Edit:

My short Badger video has made it's way on to the BBC Spring Watch 'twitter' page... I've added a link here and at the bottom of the comments.

Just love the tones...... Been to reedbeds at all different times of the year, late spring though and you get these gorgeous colours which change with the light... Just add a bird & I'm ecstatic!

Cuteness overload! One from the summer a Great Crested Grebe carrying its youngster on its back. 😍😍

The village where famous racing driver Jim Clark was born.

This Comma has been hibernating in a family members garage, but they are about to have the roof repaired so we have transported it into my greenhouse and hopefully less disturbances in the coming months. The male Comma is slightly darker than the female, and both sexes have a brighter golden form called Hutchinsoni, which is produced by the earliest caterpillars that developed in spring.

Fulmar in flight at Bempton Cliffs.

Although they are gull-like, Fulmars are "tubenose" (having large, raised nasal tubes), more closely related to albatrosses.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

This wee person was in Tentsmuir forest this morning

I always advise people not to trust the fungi one finds in Epping Forest - here is a good illustration why. These flies visit a variety of unsavoury places before alighting on edible oyster mushrooms.

Hello everyone...Ive been that busy...and taking photos of others had taken priority. I took this today, because;-

1) I love the thought of Spring approaching and

2) Someone (missing my uploads) asked me to show my face!!

People generally like squirrels but not rats - is it just the tail? There is precious little difference otherwise.
