Wildlife pictures

I'm using a Canon Powershot SX510 HS. I've managed to find the settings under the properties. I did sharpen the image up a bit using Google's Snapseed. If you look there's a darker cross which centres just to the top left of the hare's head, that's where there's a wire fence in the way.

I suspect this is as good as you will get unless the light is perfect and you are closer

I do not photograph many butterflies as I cannot be bothered chasing them but this was one of a bunch sitting round hoping for some sun and still not getting it

That's a great photo. The background is like summer, but the butterfly looks frosted and frozen!

Grass snake skin. She loves basking in a particular spot in a flower border and apparently the small shrubs assist with shedding.

Beautiful. Spawks are the coolest.

Beautiful. Spawks are the coolest.

Indeed. But the pair we have in the garden are taking a bit of a toll of the songbirds. Small puffs of feathers all over the place today under their favourite place to strip and eat prey.

Uh oh, I've got crabs...

I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with...L-E-O...

Sorry for the ropey picture - all I had was my phone.

Good sighting; I haven't seen one for many years let alone managed a photo

A walk out on the salt marshes...

 

[TLM]

That is one biotope we don't really have, we have low coastal areas but that is different.

Would that be a noctua whooo?

Would that be a noctua whooo?

I'm sorry, I've no idea what that is. Even Google couldn't help me.
Maybe I can help:
1st picture - curlew with lapwings in the background
2nd picture - little owl
3rd picture - red shanks
4th picture - sky lark
5th picture - can't remember the make of stove, but that's a 750ml MSR pot on top and a 500ml Fold-a-cup

If that's not answered the question then do please ask again.
