Wildlife photos please

Not great photos - using my phone - but I see this heron every time I take the dog for a walk at this lake. He was slow to take off this morning.

Is that a great crested grebe and some golden eye on the water behind the heron?

[Scarlet]

I'm not sure what they are but they look special.....some have a red splash on their heads?

Yes!! I just looked it up! How could you tell from a tiny speck on a photo??!

This is their conservatory full of camelias. They have a camelia festival in March, admission to it and gardens is free. House is open about now. Loads of camelias outside too.

This morning on the plot

[Scarlet]

Is he sat on a snail?

[bario1]

Yep, don't ask me what happened in the pond overnight - yesterday it was crystal clear, this morning it looks like the whole thing has been stirred with a big stick, it's cloudy with mud and there's pond weed scattered over the sides with snails in it (what he's sitting on). I'm thinking a fox having a bath or an invasion of randy frogs??

A Fox(or a Badger) will raid ponds and eat the frogs/Newts/Toads as will a Heron.

Grrr, that must be it Burnie - there's lots of foxes on our site. I'm going to have to cover it somehow. They had my fountain last year as well!

Lovely markings on the frog, never seen one like that before.

It's a smooth newt
