You are very talented with a camera, take some cracking shots!

Why they scraping, enough to go round!

They get drunk on this stuff and get very bad tempered which is why people hate them especially at this time of the year.

Here is teh shot before

A drunken brawl I put this apple out hoping to attract some wasps and I got some I was not expecting to get this shot. Yeah there is plenty to go round even the other half of the apple but I suspect this is easier to eat as someone has already been at it and created edges to get at.

I've been away from the group for a bit, but here is my favourite picture from the summer. A beautiful male Fen Raft Spider, very rare (schedule 5 protected species) and the largest spider in Britain

Lovely shot Mike. You're macro shots have really improved.

I haven't posted here for a while, but I wanted to share this sparrowhawk. It was the first one I saw, and it was a wonderful encounter. It was feeding on a pigeon in the middle of an underpass, with graffiti walls in the background (in the middle of town). Surrounded by a couple of people and photographers. This is a picture taken with my small Nikon AW100, distance to the bird was about 1,5 m. I took some pictures and then just stayed down there on my belly, eye to eye with this beautiful creature, and just enjoyed watching it. Nature is amazing, and sometimes just makes me speechless!
