A Male Mallard (Anas Platyrhynchos) Keeping An Eye On The Strange Man With The Camera.

European robin (erithacus rubecula)

Status: Least concern

This is a little mouse I saved from a friends bath, years ago, where it had been imprisoned by their cat. It was released back into the wild unharmed. I think it was a wood mouse but I’m not sure. Note: I absolutely didn’t intend for the flash to fire when I took the picture.

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.

Eurasian River Otter (Lutra lutra) ((again)) I had the great pleasure of watching this one hunt for a while, it never resurfaced without a fish. From the orange tails I believe he was catching roach (Rutilus rutilus) but I could be wrong.

Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

Seriously though, what right do starlings have to go around being so beautiful?

It's that Canada goose (branta canadensis) time of year again here in Wales. HONK!

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.

Wood ant (Formica rufa?)

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.

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.
