Here a few shots of a common backswimmer Notonecta glauca. This individual has flipped over to the right way up at the surface in preparation to fly off. I took them a couple of years ago so they are not my best shots I’ll have to blog more about these amazing insects later on.

Magpie vs Mistle Thrush video

bird, crow, thrush, videoBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 25, 2013Leave a comment

Been going through some old videos and found this one from a few years ago, filmed in Regents Park, London. What has happened here is a magpie (a species that is a known egg thief) has got too close to a mistle thrush nest and the parents are not happy! Watch what happens when the…

Burrowing Mayfly nymph Ephemera sp video

Ephemeroptera, insect, Suffolk, videoBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 23, 20131 Comment

While on and excellent FSC course at Flatford Mill I caught a burrowing mayfly nymph Ephemera sp. It is the nymph of the original Mayfly, which are most commonly on the wing in May, hence the name which is named after the Mayflower, better known as hawthorn, which blooms at the end of April when…

Caspian Gull and Marsh harrier

bird, BOP, Essex, gull, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 22, 2013Leave a comment

Today at Wat tyler CP I was hunting around for fieldfares to point my DA*300mm + Pentax Q with adapter combo at, but ended up in the hide. When I got there the kind chaps from the RSPB told me there was a caspian gull out on the scrape. It was at least 200 if…

Colour video of Red fox in the snow

videoBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 21, 2013Leave a comment

My Bushnell camera did something strange with all the reflective snow last night. When the sensor light came on, the light level was high enough for my Bushnell trail cam to switch to colour mode. This of course meant when the light went out it has resulted in just a black screen but I’ve edited…

Diving beetle larva covered in Vorticella ciliate

beetles, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 20, 2013Leave a comment

Another quick photo post, this time of a diving beetle larva. This beastie is famous for being a ferocious predator, sometimes attacking prey bigger then itself with its large pincer like mouthparts. They even eat each other! If you look closely you can see its covered in what looks like white fuzz. These are another…
