Thanks it's ok I guess. I blame TV.

As to that catterpillar: Homo Sapiens? I'm not that good at bugs though. Is it 'Eilema Griseola' or Dingy footman?

Goldfinch.......

 

[Turnstone]

Yes, Goldfinch. Beautiful birds!

The tree could be a cherry laurel.

 

[Mad Mike]

yes it a Goldfinch no its not a Cherry laurel

here's the Goldfinch in the tree if it helps

 

[Turnstone]

I found a tree that looked like your picture. Still had a hard time identifying it (had no tree guidebook with me). I am still not sure, but it could be a Bird cherry (Prunus padus).

Bird Cherry?

Durrr, just notice Turnstone already said that.

 

[Mad Mike]

Bird cherry (Prunus padus) it is - not very common around here.

This might make for an interesting challenge. Definitely not a UK native species.

 

[Harvestman]

Not even a guess, huh? Too hard? Okay, what sort of a creature is this then...

 

[blacktimberwolf]

A creature ? ................I'd say it was a dead branch/twig (?) of Chilean pine (monkey puzzle tree).

 

[Harvestman]

A creature ? ................I'd say it was a dead branch/twig (?) of Chilean pine (monkey puzzle treee).

There's no putting one past you, is there? I was hoping someone would guess pangolin or some sort of spiky millipede
Yes, it's a bit of monkey puzzle.

Any idea on the tree previously posted? That isn't a monkey puzzle.

taken on a guided walk on the hills today

[Harvestman]

Through the mist I can just make it out...

It's a pylon

 

[Niels]

Greensurfingbear, it's heather. And some hawthorns perhaps.

Harvestman, is it yew? Long shot I know but it's technically not a UK native!
