Your day's wildlife

[Dave 123]

Another trip to Aish Tor to see High Brown Fritillary…. Another fail.

I may have seen them, but only in flight.

Other things seen-
Peacock

Painted lady

Red admiral

Brown silver line

Gatekeeper

A small family of locals pushed me out of the way along a lane

 

[Low Gear Guy]

Juvenile Heron at Lingfield

A blurry bee on the clover

Sounds like a racial insult, but I'm fairly sure this is a Caucasian Wingnut, near my local shops (for local people).
Loads of seedlings around it - may do some guerilla gardening and disperse a few of them.

Ringlet sat on the gravel of the railway path on my local loop, from Saturday's tiny ride.

Saw this crawling about yesterday. At first I thought it was a bee from its body, but wings more like moth

Not my best ever shot. But was aware how flighty these are and literally just quickly pointed and got just one shot before exactly that happened.

***Approx 4.45am this Morning while walking the dog on Pleasurewood Hills theme-parks grounds in Suffolk.

10 minutes after seeing dolphins...

Slow Worm wiggling its way across a path in front of us. Kids were oblivious of it but were instantly, incredibly excited by it. Safely released into scrub beside the path, much to the disappointment of the girls..

Dammit! Too slow off the mark - workmen were just packing away their strimmers as I rode past 35 minutes ago.
Every seedling destroyed!

They are probably suckers not seedlings so it may make them hard to move. Annoying though.
