Your picture of the day...

[Shambling Shaman]

Just to show great minds think alike (and fools never differ)

By the way Alf, how do you get the image code out of the new Flickr layout? I can't find it and ended up opting out of the new arrangement.

Realy like this

how comes I can't zoom in on the pic I posted? I can when I look at it in my pics folder, is it too big a file for the site?

Ridiculously pleased to get these

They can move fast when they want to. I only saw it because it moved so fast. It only ran as the tree next to it fell over & I getting closer with a chainsaw.

I also had a camera on my belt

Segestria florentina is one of my favourite spiders. One of the UK's largest too!

Definitely dormouse, and very impressive shots they are too. Well done.

Bit of a cheat. I attended a Fun Day event at Magor Marsh nature reserve today, and there was a man from the local hedgehog rescue place there, with a baby hedgehog. My wife goes all silly and girly about baby hedgehogs (no idea why ), so I had to take a picture.

You must've scared the wee fella as he's having a poop in both shots too! Great capture.

Gigrin Farm, Rhayader, Powys. They have a feeding station there and the birds know when to appear. £4.50 for entry and the use of a big and comfortable bird hide (one of 5). around 200 kites, lots of buzzards, crows, rooks, a few ravens, and the local peacocks all in attendance. Worth every penny. Took over 1000 pictures, about a dozen of which are useable. If there is ever a competition for the best out of focus picture of a red kite then I'm a sure-fire winner

 

[Robbi]

thats really incredible

Oh yes, very handsome indeed.

One or two red kites

Wow, that's really impressive!
