Couldn't agree more, that chaffinch is indeed glorious - as is your Goose, that's one of the best photo's I've seen in a while, it's lovely

Thanks Stuart. I was very pleased with the goose shot, although I'm thinking a bit of a crop wouldn't do it any harm.
I spent the weekend at the coast in the Netherlands. I was looking for spoonbills, but we couldn't find any. Found amazingly tame storks and jackdaws around Het Zwijn and avocet (and many other birds) in a pond close to Oostburg.
I am still learning to get used to my new camera, but I am really satisfied with these pictures! I hope you enjoy them too!

Don't think I ever posted this one on here.
A firm favourite of mine, taken a couple of months ago.

Ouch!
Well if a picture tells a thousand words it's good for us and well perhaps not so good for him.
Great photo Bushwhacker, get yourself a large Bundy.

Cheers, will do! In fact, I'm having a cider right now.
I was really happy to find this, even the great Kim Cabrera liked it which felt like an honour. Just wish I'd used a ruler instead of a lighter.
I was walking near a lake yesterday evening and passed a small copse. I saw a lump on a tree which looked like an owl...Turned out it was an owl. A tawny, sleeping in a tree, just a little above my head height. I can see he's slightly peeping at me.
Somehow I missed this picture before. Wonderful shot
. Tawny owls are my favourite owl.

1st camera view of the fox cub(s) in spite of the camera telling me it was way too dark.
Its drinking from a birdbath behind the tripod & yes it was too dark, but still nice to see in my own garden.
Saw this thrush arrive or I never would have seen it - safe roost for the night?

A spider that shares the greenhouse with us. I didn't think it was that big until I had to move those trays this weekend. The thing was massive
I made it a new house in the frog of an old house brick and tucked it down behind a load of pots out of harms way anyway.

Looks like a fair sized specimen of Tegenaria. Nice dramatic shot.
Here are more of mine from a recent trip to a Woodland Trust nature reserve.
The spider Agalenatea redii, one of the orb weavers. This is a female.
Some black ants, very upset after I looked under the stone they were nesting under.
A cute fluffy bunny. Not many of these on the reserve.
A bee fly, Bombylius major. There were loads of these about.
A female brimstone.
A speckled wood.
A female common marsh orb weaver, Larinioides cornutus.
A comma.
A tawny mining bee.
A peacock butterfly that almost landed on my foot while I was holding the camera.
A drone fly, Eristalis sp. This is a bee mimicking hoverfly, and there were lots of them around. They take a bit of distinguishing from genuine honeybees.
A garlic snail Oxychilus alliarius. They smell strongly of garlic if you pick them up.
The black lipped banded snail, Cepaea nemoralis.
And a rather mangy fox.

Canon eos 1100D. The fox cooperated and sat down in front of me. I'm not convinced it was very well, as it moved rather slowly and looked in poor condition.
