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.
Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
Seriously though, what right do starlings have to go around being so beautiful?
European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
I know, I post a lot of Robins. This fine individual was very friendly and came within about 2 feet of me repeatedly. Didn't even seem to mind the shutter noise.
Your photos are amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you, that means alot!
I shared them mainly as a confidence exercise because outside of my friends and close family I don't really show them to anyone.
It's been really great to see the positive reactions.
The Goldcrest (regulus regulus), the smallest bird native to Britain. Weighing around 6.5g yet capable of crossing the North Sea according to my book. Not the best picture but I was pretty happy just to spot it.
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.
Slow worm (Anguis fragilis)
Status: Least Concern
A male Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) keeping an eye on the strange man with the camera.
May I offer you a frog in these trying times?
European common frog (Rana temporaria)
Blue tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)
