Another wildlife week in lockdown

Image
Here are some images from this weeks Garden Safari.  Mainly insects this week, as the weather has improved and the birds are easily finding their food elsewhere.  E ven so, it has been an interesting week! Damselfly silhouette My first ever Magpie shots........two for joy! Crane Fly, joins Wagtail for lunch! The Robins are still bringing Song, and colour to the garden. This  year, it has been rare to see Kestrels in the garden. Wood White Butterfly Robber Fly Cigada Fly Cobwebs, after the storm. Uphill struggle, on the way home with lunch.

The past week has seen our weather change from bright and sunny, to overcast, with thunderstorms!  As I write this blog, it is raining again, but although most of gods creatures are taking shelter, it is still possible to seek out some subjects to photograph, if you brave the elements and know where to look. Asian Hornet......these are serious invaders, that can put a grown man into hospital. There is no 'trail cam' footage this week, as I have taken the opportunity to position the camera, in to our neighbours lake!  As their land, borders our own, I have been able to visit the lake on a daily basis, and have recently disturbed a couple of herons.  They are not frequent visitors, so I am hoping that over the coming weeks, the 'trail cam' may pick them up.........we will have to wait and see! In the meantime, here are some of my favourite shots, from the last 7 days.  Hummingbird Hawk Moth Green Stink Bug Mining Bee Cigada Fly
