Juvenile Chiffchaff (Wild Lydney)

I had just before setting up the photographic unit, when I spotted the Chiffchaff. So I clicked it, and I was anxious to get one a little closer, and came the woman and her lovely dog. Boo hoo...............

Well, here it is, the Silver-washed Fritillary. I could have done it better, but it will do for now.

There is a load of juvenile Robins about, but I really liked this photograph.

It seems like forever since I took films of the Coal Tit. So here we go..............

Holly Blue (Wild Lydney)

Beautiful little butterfly, who, I nearly ran him/her over my "Tramper". But, I'm glad that she/he's is alright.

Whitethroat (Naas Lane, Lydney)

There I was, sitting on peoples wastage of things like cars wheels, parts of household refurbishment or other things that I can't mention. When I saw these Whitethroats, chasing each other around, and it sure made me happy. So, I learnt every thing, while I was sitting there on people waste!!

Bumblebee (Naas Lane, Lydney)

There was a bumblebee....................

Blackcap (Naas Lane, Lydney)

The Blackcap female. I have been looking for one for ages, but, it keeps avoiding me. I have spotted them many times, but not for this blog. Ah well, it was in a place where I couldn't get to and the light was getting dark. She was hiding behind a lot of leaves but I wanted to show the whole of her in the pictures.

Coot (Forest of Dean)

This morning wasn't too bad, but, the afternoon wasn't very nice, with loads of showers. I'm glad that I had done with birdwatching this morning, but not the poor old dragonflies and butterflies! I think they wont mind too much.

Common Crane

The Common Crane, ah aint it lovelllllly. My words are getting into a mess. So I said, look at the pictures, not the words.

Otter at Slimbridge WWT

Had a bit of fun today at Slimbridge, I saw the Otters. They are loads of fun, I'm amazed the things that they amused themselves with. Well, they look quite happy there.

More of the little things.

Small Copper butterfly
Hover-fly
Gatekeeper butterfly

Common Blue Damselfly

It was a dull day, overcast and a drop of drizzle. The only way to get photographs, was to go out and catch them. Sadly, I couldn't get one, so its my turn to find some. Ah, there they are, hiding.
