Accrington Web - Today in pictures

some critters I like...others I can give the swerve...slugs come into the 'swerve' category......Jason I am going to give you a 'like'....but it is for the execution of the photography, rather than the subject matter(although...strangely I don't mind snails):)

Thanks M, I dislike all of them critters (caterpillars are 'ok').
I especially dislike (big) spiders :eek:
Living where I live though (I won't say where as it might encourage Less to come round for a brew :D) they are (sadly) a uncontrollable part of garden life :)

My Ma has a similar problem...though her critters include mice and water voles, frogs and toads(she has a well in her cellar - own spring water)

Rather that than being inundated with pond life! ;)

I don't mind the critters you mentioned (except mice :eek:) I can't say I've ever seen a water vole, are they the critters that are similar to a aquatic mouse? (If so I don't like them too).

I'm liking the idea of my own well though, it'd certainly come in handy if we ever experience civil unrest and it's got to be better the tap stuff :D

Yes....Aquatic mice is a pretty good description.

You don't need infra red for night shots Frank.

This photo was taken through my patio doors last night about nine thirty.
It was really dark at the bottom of my garden about 50 feet away.
The difficult part is focusing the shot as it is too dark to see the subject.
14.5 seconds delay, f 5.6 50mm focal length, no artificial lighting and obviously using a tripod. My hands are not too steady after a few pints.

Today in Pictures involved a short walk into the wooded area of Bullough Park
