Wildlife Photos

Here are some from around the nursery The chicks are our favourite

I've seen two really exotic (I think) looking things in the past two weeks, that have turned out to be pretty common -

A Buff Ermine Moth's caterpillar (there are about 7 or 8 of these living in amongst my courgette's leaves, and raspberry plants) -



And a really nicely coloured moth that turned out to be a really common one called an Angle Shades -

As I walked out of my back door yesterday I spotted these two beauties sunbathing on the garden fence, either side of a french bean:

Comma butterfly (I believe - quite distinctive)

Red admiral

A very cheering sight they were too

It's lovely! Look at the orange of that fringe - if that was on a kingfisher you'd be raving about it!

Yeah but kingfishers dont leave a slimy mess when you pick them up and they don't go through this stage either

Found these the other day, not sure what they belong to (some kind of caterpillar me thinks) but I love the shape of them. I didn't squidge them there's not much left in the garden for them to eat now.

If that was a kingfisher it would be seriously ugly.

We've had green woodpeckers visiting our garden over the course of the year. A couple of months ago there was a parent teaching its chick to find ants in the lawn, unfortunately I didn't get any pics of that.

Poplar Hawk Moth

Unfortunately not one of my photos - my brother is much keener than me! He spotted this in the summer, it has a wingspan of 10cm

I found these two in the garden, under the pallets we are storing old roof tiles on.
The toad had the most beautiful eyes...



And this little fellow is apparently a marbled newt.... I had to look it up on google as I have never seen one before. He was very gentle and seemed to like the hot seat of the quad bike...

Bird Feeder at Rainham



I took these at our local RSPB reserve on Tuesday. I was trying out my early Christmas present. Still working out how to use it but I'll get there.
