First one I've seen in many years (apart from road kill) and the only time I've photographed one. I did try and move the grass out of the way but it tried to bite me.... A Hedgehog... Now I did wonder about seeing it out during daylight (although it was about 19:30pm), apparently female hedgehogs will come out during daylight for nesting material and extra food....
Our own native squirrel, as opposed to the imported Grey one.
Red Squirrel at Formby Point (probably the only place to see them in the North West of England), I've been a dozen or so times over the last few years and have always seen one or more of them...
Tongue in cheek.
It was taken at a photo shoot I was doing for a Western group.
They had a backdrop of a Western Saloon.
They paid for the others so I can’t post them here.
Lovely shots, but No.2 is fantastic, if a little sad in showing what most of us in this country no longer see. The London Zoo has a lot to answer for releasing Sciurus carolinensis (aka the 'flying rat') from their cages.
1, 2 and 3 are Green Dock Beetles
4: Weevil
5: A Fly - possibly a Sawfly....
6: Orange Ladybird
7: Two Flies - I don't think this is an amorous clinch - I think the one on top is sucking the insides out of the other....
8: Bluebottle
