A few for the weekend

White Campion to brighten a dark corner, or a dull day

Lady Blackcap

Female Common Blue damselfly

Small Tortoiseshell


Little Egret coming in to land

Lady Emperor Dragonfly ovipositing

And last one for today,


Look in any bird book, or website, for Blackbird.….....see what they eat.
'Insects, worms and berries'. Well, now add 'newt'.

Enjoy your weekend.

I hadn't seen your writing underneath the blackbird so I spent a minute or so trying to figure out what she had in her mouth, baby croc, nah cant be... snakey croc, nah no such thing exists, then I scrolled down a bit and all was revealed. Ahh a little newt. Your damselfly may be beige but she's definately not boring. Have a good weekend Keith

Kerry said...

That is a cracking shot of the blackbird! And a great moment in nature to have captured. The other shots are great as well.

Beautiful set of images Keith. I had a White Campion to post somewhere, don't think I will bother now as it doesn't reach the standard of your great shot.

The Common Blue Damselfly is astonishing and the Blackbird with a Newt, well, I never Keith, is it ready for someone else's tea.

ShySongbird said...

Our very clever Keith strikes again :) Only you could have captured a Blackbird with a Newt!!

Beautiful photos again, Lady Blackcap deserves her title :) and I love the Little Egret with those yellow feet!

Luzia said...

Phantastic shots but I don´t like the "meal" of the blackbird;-)) Greetings from Luzia.

Thank you Lucy. I didn't know what the Blackbird had, till I saw it on the computer. A surprising 'meal' for sure.
