Long Tailed Tit (aegithalos caudatus), not much larger than the Goldfinch, extremely cute and floofy, literally builds nests from spiderwebs and camouflages them with lichen. 12/10.
It's that Canada goose (branta canadensis) time of year again here in Wales. HONK!
This is a little mouse I saved from a friends bath, years ago, where it had been imprisoned by their cat. It was released back into the wild unharmed. I think it was a wood mouse but I’m not sure. Note: I absolutely didn’t intend for the flash to fire when I took the picture.
Black headed gulls (chroicocephalus ridibundus) ride the sea breeze.
Forest vibes. Near Tidenham, England.
Slow worm (Anguis fragilis)
Status: Least Concern
White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus Lucorum) on lavender.
Wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus)
This cute little bugger was hiding in the back of my shed, managed to get a (high ISO) shot before leaving her/him alone.
Ever feel like you're being watched?
European Robin (erithacus rubecula)
It's very interesting to look at your wildlife pics. They mostly look like alt versions of what we have in Missouri. Except the starlings. We have those.... Are they horribly pesky at your birdfeeders too? Any tips to help keep them away and let the smaller birds eat?
Thanks, I enjoyed your photo's as well. Regarding the starlings, I can't help you there I'm sorry, the ones in my garden are fairly timid and are often bullied away by the sparrows. It's interesting to note the different behaviour.
Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
This is the picture of the starling I've been looking for to show you! (I've got c. 20,000 photos I need to sort out 😅) Look at those colours!! Also note how the throat feathers prick up when they sing.
