Possibly my favourite bird, the carrion crow (Corvus corone). Not as large and imposing as a raven, but very intelligent and quite beautiful.
A male Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) keeping an eye on the strange man with the camera.
Wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus)
This cute little bugger was hiding in the back of my shed, managed to get a (high ISO) shot before leaving her/him alone.
The floofiest floof to ever floof!
European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
It's that Canada goose (branta canadensis) time of year again here in Wales. HONK!
European robin (erithacus rubecula)
Status: Least concern
Woodlouse / isopod (porcellio scaber)
European robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)
Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
This is the picture of the starling I've been looking for to show you! (I've got c. 20,000 photos I need to sort out 😅) Look at those colours!! Also note how the throat feathers prick up when they sing.
Crab spider (Misumena vatia) This tiny spider was in a very awkward place and this was the best picture I could get. They are apparently colloquialy known as a White Death Spider, which seems a little dramatic as long as you aren't a bee or butterfly, as these spiders wait on flowers to ambush pollinators. This image was taken with a Nikon 40mm lens on a 12mm extension tube.
Black headed gulls (chroicocephalus ridibundus) ride the sea breeze.
