Woodlouse / isopod (porcellio scaber)
European robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)
European Starling (sturnus vulgaris) looking resplendent in the sun.
Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
Seriously though, what right do starlings have to go around being so beautiful?
Another White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus Lucorum) for you.
Long Tailed Tit (aegithalos caudatus), not much larger than the Goldfinch, extremely cute and floofy, literally builds nests from spiderwebs and camouflages them with lichen. 12/10.
Blue tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)
May I offer you a frog in these trying times?
European common frog (Rana temporaria)
Common Raven (corvus corax)
This one was found in an unexpected place (for me anyway) It was foraging where a river met the sea, and appeared to be turning over rocks, looking for molluscs or crabs perhaps.
Ice crystals formed on a spiderweb.
I ordered some extension tubes for macro work, to replace the finicky reversed-lens method, and they happened to arrive on a day we had freezing fog. I couldn't resist having a play out in the cold with them and I must say I'm impressed with their ease of use compared to the reversed lens, (for reference see the woodlouse picture below) although I think there is more chromatic aberration. More experiments are needed but I'm pleased with these shots as a starting point.
