      It was too cold, cloudy and windy for this male Sand Lizard to come out and bask, all I saw was it's head.

        A long way off so pics are cropped, Dolphins off Swanage today about 250 yards out.
        They were swimming past a fishing boat and I saw there was a young one next to its parent.

          We visited Bicton Gardens while in Devon and walking around the lake I saw these which at first I thought were just large Carp but looking closer through the camera I saw that they were huge Barbel swimming at the surface.. A native fish but obviously put in there. Looked almost Prehistoric, first time I have seen one.

              Good morning everyone. It’s 5:30 in Berlin, just had my morning cig on the balcony and was a bit surprised when I saw two red squirrels coming down on the opposite 5-floor house wall. I took a video, and screenshots are from the video, sorry for the quality.
