Wildlife photos please

[catbasket]

Last year the flowers on our Fatsia were wiped out by a severe frost so this is the first time we've seen it properly in bloom. It's been attracting loads of flies, bees, wasps hover flies and even ladybirds, but today I spotted a Red Admiral



I really like the head photo. Here's a close-up

Well my camera skills are appalling at the best of times - a pity at a time when this visitor insisted on posing so nicely for me!




He was literally only feet away from me by the back door.
ETA Can anyone tell me if they think this is a dog fox or a vixen? I would love to have baby foxes in the garden but I suspect the cats will have different ideas!

Jeanied, these are fab photos.

I'd been waiting to see them, but hadn't seen them posted. I usually use the What's New button so not sure why I hadn't spotted your post.

Lovely photos Jeanie and according to Mr Pots the fox is either very well fed or pregnant.

Thank you, Singleseeder! I can see I will need to set up a tripod and a camera for this fox, because it has been in my garden on a regular basis for a while - so pretty! It will only get better as the winter progresses I am sure!
Oooh - exciting Bren - my garden is so small this could yield some really interesting photos/ footage!

Boootiful! I love them.

At least it's not here killing my Chooks. I also hate them.

[Jeanied]

No chooks for a few miles round here - plus a railway line, motorway and canal! This fox is on leftovers and the odd rat/ mouse!

Looks clean & healthy & very pregnant to me Jeanie

[Jeanied]

Whoop wooo - cat will need to do a bit of adjusting to a new wildlife environment!
I need a film student to help me capture this one! (Makes a note in the notebook!)

[Florence Fennel]

Brilliant Jeanie, I wondered where you'd posted the pics. Hope Mr Pots is right if that's what you would like

[angel_panga]

wow, those were nice photos..

Grey seals, E.Norfolk coast

They're a couple of weeks early this year. We were lucky with the weather, there was only an hour of sunshine all day and we caught it

[Jeanied]

That's some well behaved dog in picture no 5 TS. Bootiful.
