Wildlife Corner

mr gw has his eye on these guys :eek:

:eek: :D Me neither Fran.... :D

I have them visiting my garden - and yes they are noisy on the move - they root around in leaf litter etc for the food they want - but freeze when startled. Used to drive my dogs mad, cos they'd bark and rush, the hedgehog would curl up, and the dogs would back off yelping. They learnt to leave...

Hi Marley-Farley - I like that term for the catapillers, munching machines, how true it is. I have dockered it away for future use.

Love the pictures especially the close ups of the bees

for a laugh my neighbours bought 3 hooting owls for our balconies they go off by movement on a sensor and for the past week i have been hearing an owl sounds like its on top of our flats. its not the sensor owls wonder iff we have attracted the real thing, as i am sitting here now i can hear it...

They are really sharp pic GW, and as BM says the colours are amazing.

Some excellent pics again GW keep 'em coming

Sorry macleaf, it is strange.

I'm a bit late on this one but there's a good site here: InsectPics : Solitary Bees

:D :D :D

Just looked again in my little butterfly and moth guide [still open where I looked before]- can't read- picture of poplar moth is over description of lime! Sorry DIHG. Bayleaf, that is an excellent link, I've put it in favourites, thanks.

Liz that sounds like bliss to me!!

I'll tell her. -------------- shiney

Great link GW - what amazing pictures!Now if only he knew about moths as well he may be able to answer my previous question!

I was just going to say greenwizard what lovely flowers and i noticed in between the SNAIL, actually they are brilliant pictures and it certainly didnt look like that at the dinner table. :D :eek: :rolleyes:

Amazing!! Great pics Fee - I can barely remember seeing red squirrels years ago, Im so glad there's some left!

Another beauty GW

jay..no one is giving them cut grass cuttings we have compost bins from the council for that..the people who take them things are just taking bread and vegetables..their is a lot of grass land where they are ..they are just nibbling away at it..Their are about 20 horses behind my house and these...

No problem, said pigeon was just the latest in a long line of saved friends I do tend to stop in the middle of a road, stick my hazzards on and make the traffic wait while I get them (or any other animal friend) out of the road :D
