I explained that a type of #wasp was digging a burrow into which she would take a caterpillar, paralysed by her sting so the larva that hatched from the egg she would lay on it would have fresh food.
In my favourite part of the woods the have Scottish Highland cattle to trim the grass and small bushes. Their workforce got a new crew member recently.
An Eastern Kingbird taking a quick break from chasing insects on an old cattail stalk, surrounded by green fronds, at Mass Audubon's Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary.
I hear Skylarks quite often, but they tend to be so high up in the sky I can't see them. So as you can imagine, getting to within a few metres of this one, close to the ground at Stiperstones National Nature Reserve in Shropshire at the end of May, was a very special experience.
Spotted a small bird on top of one of the yellow pipeline markers. Brain scrambles to both tell dad to stop before we scare it and trying frantically to ID it cause we are going to scare it.
It spooks and lands just on the other side of the pipeline ditch.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
I don't know but you can ask this one by my work if you can catch him. He looks shifty though, like the type of groundhog that would tell you winter is over when it's really just beginning. 🙄
A juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker lands on an old stump in front of me as the mid morning sun lights it up. Behind it is a dark corner of hedgerow that leaves just the top of the stump and the Woodpecker lit up in the foreground. I really like how this has came out, just the Woodpecker and its perch, and absolutely no distraction in the background ❤️. #Wildlife#WildlifePhotography#Natur#NaturFotografie#Nature#Birds
