Shell (Snail)
For Macro Mondays -5letters
The subject is something that has five letters in its name. I went looking for a Snail but could only find this empty shell in the garden.
Little Owl about to take flight.
The Little Owl is not a native species, having been introduced to Britain in the 1870s, but it appears to have occupied a vacant niche without having any detrimental impact on other species. Numbers and breeding distribution increased gradually, reaching an estimated breeding population of between 4,000 and 8,500 pairs at the time of Project Barn Owl. The current distribution extends across England, north to the Scottish borders and west into Wales, where it is largely confined to Anglesey and to eastern parts of the country. There have been very few records from Ireland.
Pairs remain on their breeding territories throughout the year, with territorial calling evident during autumn – when young birds are searching for breeding territories – and again during spring. Small cavities are favoured for breeding, these often located within hedgerow trees or the walls of old agricultural buildings. Favoured nesting chambers tend to be located some distance from the cavity entrance and with little daylight reaching them. The male will often perch close to the nest cavity while his mate is incubating her clutch of eggs.
Little Owls often hunt from a perch, taking small mammals and large invertebrates, including earthworms, cockchafers and other beetles. There is evidence to suggest that breeding success is linked to the availability of small mammals, though some pairs evidently do well on other prey; a pair breeding on the island of Skomer, for example, took a large number of Storm Petrels (Courtesy BTO).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍
I saw this scene the night before but it was too late and the light was gone – so returned the next night.
This marina is just as you enter Antelope Island and people just drive past – but this a rich area for photographs. There is a gravel road that leads to the jetty in the background and also the beach.

This shot was taken after a California seal lion had disappeared into the pool for a fish!
Nothing added. Nothing taken away!
From the dates on older photos of this building, it appears to have been vacant for at least 10 years.
A stack of 14 shots.
I found this empty cocoon on a forgotten garden cane. I taped the cane horizontally across two spade handles and photographed it from slightly below. This allowed the beautiful sunshine to illuminate the cocoon thoroughly, and gave me the stability to use the macro rail.
Looking for a sturdy stone cottage, no windows, no roof (potential to build upwards) and no front wall (panoramic views), then look no further. This renovator's dream, complete with car (needs some work) may be just what you're looking for. Situated in quiet rural Silverton, this property is available for immediate possession.
If you want no neighbours, no phone, no electricity, no town water, no sewer, no school, no garbage collection, no street to speak of and no street lighting. If you're looking for plenty of space for the kids to play, room for a garden and just 40 Km to the shops, then look no further, it's all here for you in Silverton.
Perhaps I missed my vocation as a real estate salesman, but then again, perhaps not.
