My WILDLIFE page

This brief additional post is made simply to advertise the fact that I have set up a new page on my blog, called "Wildlife". I will be using it as a means of displaying some of the pictures I have taken in my garden of birds, insects, mammals, etc.

I would be delighted if you would have a browse of it...

    Lots of photos and not an ID in site. It would be good if you felt moved to label them - it might help some of us know what we are seeing in our own gardens.

    Ooo I was enjoying the beautiful bugs and bees, cried a little "Ooo" at the fabulous squirrel and the pretty bird on the bin, and then you slam me with WORMS. Worms Mark, worms.

    The photos are just beautiful, and I would like labels too :)

    Fabulous pictures all of them! Can't believe you have so many pretty insects as your garden guests.

    Lovely collection.
    Funny when we found spotted snake millipedes for the first time last year I thought that they were rare but since then they have featured on two other blogs.

    Love how you got the aphids to strike the artistic pose of the white flowers (was it a potato flower).

    That page could become very long though!

    OK Folks, I hear what you're saying... I will TRY to caption the wildlife photos. The trouble is though that there are lots whose identities I do not know! Sue from Green Lane Allotments will probably come to my rescue here (again), since she seems to know more than the rest of us put together. Thanks Sue! :)

    I'll have a good look when I have a few hours to spare :)

    You've identified lots of them already or are you wanting types of shield bugs?

    By the way it's a blue tit with the goldfinch on the feeder and the ladybird larva is definitely a harlequin ladybird - do you want the types of ladybirds too? :#

    Sue; Thanks a lot for your input. You are so knowledgeable! I will update the page with any positive IDs I get from you or anyone else, though I am not desperately keen to identify all the variations on the Shield Bug and Ladybird themes. I'd really like to know about the red black and white beetle, a type I have never seen until this week.
