Coyote staring me down through the gate.

Bit skinny, you need to feed him up. Lovely shot through the gate..:-)

MJ224 - There are plenty of rabbits. They are eating my garden so she needs to get busy!

I really like this, despite the bars. It's almost as if the bars are conveying a message as part of the composition.

The beaver was out the morning after the (small amount) of rain that we had:

Oh well caught. ..:-)

Dead Shrew Gets Attention from Wasp

When our cat kills a bird or rodent, and doesn’t eat it, I put the body on our garage roof, from which it disappears with an hour or two probably take by a Red Kite. This was the second shrew of the day.

I was interested in the fur colour but when I, literally, put my head up over the parapet, I saw ths wasp, which stayed for only two shots.

Certainly well seen. They are well camouflaged..

Thanks Mark. There was a thread about embedding Flickr images and Ian had suggested a workaround to prevent the black screen when they are clicked, but I can't find it - any ideas?

[MJ224]

Working on it Iain...:-)

A couple of Badger shots from when we saw one out foraging in the afternoon around 2pm when on a local walk the other day.

First one is a still extracted from some 4k video I took.

Not the best photos of my first Neonate adder sighting. It was very active and seemed to be hunting in fact it was blurred at 1/250 sec it was moving so quickly.

First in a while. Reduced numbers this year..

Love it. A species I fail terribly at locating!

[MJ224]

At our local Nature Trail, there used to be many more than there are this year. Habitat has changed slightly, but whereas I could see 10-15 along a particular stretch of path, now I am lucky to see one..
