Re: Today in pictures

Bee Fly - Bombylius major

I've never seen one of these before, so initially I had no idea what it was. It is about the size of a normal bee and even with the naked eye I could see that long spike on it's head - it's proboscis as it turns out and used for drinking nectar and totally harmless...

Re: Today in pictures

a few I took in Bergen when the ship berthed, what we didn't know was that it was Norway's independence day and there was a mile long parade through the streets and people dressed in traditional clothes. To top it all off there was also a big fair on the side of the docks...And the sun shone all day.

Re: Today in pictures

Micromoth - Micropterix calthella

I spotted these on the stalk of a dandelion, it was the shiny yellow/gold colour that caught my eye and the fact that there were several of them. It wasn't until I got home and saw them on a big screen that I realised that they looked like moths.... These micro moths are usually difficult to identify.... however these were the first I saw on a website I use for identifying bugs, beetles etc

What a great shot.
They are beautiful....well when they are captured on a shot like this.
I am not sure I would be so enchanted if they were in the room with me.
(Yes, I know this fear is 'learned' behaviour )

Re: Today in pictures

Thanks Margaret, though to be honest I doubt you'd even notice them, they're only about 4-5mm long - they're not called micro moths for nothing.

Re: Today in pictures

I had an invitation to look around Todmorden Grammar School where I studied in 1950-55. It's been a junior school for 40 odd years since they closed the Grammar School and now a new building has been erected for the juniors the old school building will soon be no more.

Oh, doesn't it take you back?
Did it still smell like schools do....a sort of mixture of disinfectant, floor polish and chalk dust....with just a soupçon of old wood?

Re: Today in pictures

What a handsome building. Much less daunting than the old Accy Grammar, as I recall the latter. Hope someone with a bit of vision can keep it and find a new use.

Re: Today in pictures

A couple from today, both I've never photographed before, the beetle I've never seen before and although I've seen Dippers quite often I've never managed a photograph of one.

1. Click Beetle - possibly Athous haemorrhoidalis
2. Dipper

Re: Today in pictures

Perhaps not the greatest of bird shots, but I really liked the contrast between the water before the edge of the weir and the water after, the Black Headed Gull was a bonus....
