It would be cool if we can have camera and lens stats as well if people have got them...

Not an amazing bit of photography as I only had my phone.. This little guy got himself shut in the greenhouse the other day.

I like that, though he doesn't look best pleased.

That's a good pic., phone or not! They're spunky little animals, all the mustelidia (sp?)

He's definitely going to give someone a seeing to! I love stoats. They embody the phrase "will kill anything that doesn't kill them first". Pound for pound one of the hardest creatures on the planet I think.

Only semi-wildlife, but I'm hoping Hugh will tell me what is going on with all these honeybees at the entrance to their hive. Image taken last weekend.

Hard to tell to be honest - nothing very unusual. Possibly ventilating the hive, or just a warm spell when they all came out to take on water and stores and relieve themselves. My car gets covered with little orange lines of "bee poo" after the weather has held them in for a bit.

On a very hot day you can see half the hove on the outside. 30,000 bees looks like a lot when you see it!

Its the time of year for swarming so keep your eyes out for that - anamazing sight - you can hear them doing it from 30 yards away too!

Still can't understand why it always looks softer when linked from Photobucket. It's much sharper than that on the original

Flickr is often the opposite.

Thought I'd chuck in this picture of a common lizard from earlier this week. My first ever lizard photo, if you don't count slow worms.

Not bad young arachnogeek, but what animal did the hairs it's standing on come from?

 

[brancho]

I took these with my new camera yesterday. All handheld and no flash.

These two are straight out of the camera with a crop each.
