Green toadlets Bufo viridis

amphibian, Greece, Kefalonia, toadBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 18, 2013Leave a comment

When in Kefalonia last May we popped to Livadi for a few hours and I found a number of toadlets, that turned out to be young Green toads Bufo viridis. In the warm sun they didn’t sit and pose well but I got some nice enough shots.

A blackbird

bird, Essex, thrush, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 17, 2013Leave a comment

I came across this tame(r) blackbird recently, and the light was rubbish but it was feeding not far in front of me and I got a few ok shots. It did briefly pose still, close and in a more interesting pose, but as I went to press the shutter a sparrowhawk came from nowhere and…

A Not 100% well Fox

Essex, fox, mammal, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 14, 2013Leave a comment

Thought I’d finally broken my 2013 photography duck today (I haven’t taken a decent photo outside this year) when a fox came out a posed in the sun. Sadly as you can see it has a poorly eye and possibly a touch of mange. That said it seemed pretty healthy otherwise, walking (and running when…

A Fox

After all the bad press, here is simply a photo of a fox, having a yawn.

Fox attack stories and the numbers

fox, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 10, 20139 Comments

I came home yesterday evening to see the fox bites off babies finger story all over the net, followed by Boris Johnson’s call for councils to do more about this ‘the growing problem of urban foxes’ which are a ‘a pest and a menace, particularly in our cities.’  Interesting that his party (The Conservatives for…

Lesser water boatman

Just a quick post and photo. I’ll have to blog about these cracking little bugs one day, but for now here is a a pic of a lesser water boatman.

Migrant Hawker in flight and slow worm

Essex, insect, odonata, Reptile, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 8, 2013Leave a comment

A few photos from last Autumn. Some migrant hawker dragonfly in flight shots. Can’t wait to have another crack at these. And a slow worm.

An Otter and a fish pond

mammal, newsBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 7, 201311 Comments

Yesterday the story of a garden pond in Norfolk that had been raided by an otter hit the a BBC News and a few weeks ago there was the former fishery owner trying to sue the environment agency for £2.5 millon! because otter ate his fish. Both of these stories hardly left the otters in…
