Seeing if I can revive this thread, with a picture of two amorous slow worms. Notice how the male has romantically made a heart shape to show his affection for the lady, and how she in turn has made an "Mmm" of appreciation.

Possibly I am reading a little too much into the shot...

Don´t know who was more curious and surprised

 

[Harvestman]

Very nice indeed!

As far as I can tell this spider is moulting. I took the shot last month.

What do you think?

A couple more shots a little later when it moved.

Very nice moulting spider sequence Alf. That is great. I love how the shed skin has such a good grip on the surface that it can still support the spider even when there is no longer any nervous input controlling it.

Not brilliant photos (I really wasn't expecting to see this where it turned up!), but this is the visitor to the grounds of Saltaire URC yesterday morning before the Good Friday morning service - just goes to show that wildlife shows up in the most surprising of places - it left by swimming the canal!

I came across this guy enjoying the Scottish sunshine. Never seen a slow worm before so I am quite pleased with this shot.

Lovely slow worm shot.

Thanks mate it was amazing to see.

These are massive teeth.

Not totally wild (hopefully still in the spirit of the thread) but here is a shot of a Falcon I took the other week at a birds of prey display:


Here's one of a 'wild' swan that I took a few months back.

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.

 

[Harvestman]

Ok, here's a bit of wildlife that could do with a bit more exercise. Water vole at Magor Marsh.

Lovely shot harvestman

A kestrel fighting a strong crosswind. I like the drama of the second picture.

I came across this guy enjoying the Scottish sunshine. Never seen a slow worm before so I am quite pleased with this shot.

Hats off to all photographers here, awesome Photo's all of them. For me tho, this one, quite pleased...... WOW.

How about some quick info on what camera and lens were used.

 

[Toddy]

Very tame compared to some of those beautiful shots, but this is why I'm reluctant to cut the grass...one finally crawled out onto the path.
