Magpie Pica pica

bird, crow, Essex, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 13, 2013Leave a comment

Here are a few shots of a magpie from a couple of months ago. These are quite wary birds and Ive never really managed a good shot of one, but I was reasonably happy with these.

Naughty fox

fox, mammal, Uncategorized, videoBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 11, 2013Leave a comment

I’m a big fan of foxes, but there is a downside to them appearing in your garden…lol (To be honest, cats are a bigger problem for this sort of thing!)

Phantom midge larva Charborus sp.

Essex, Factfile, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 9, 20131 Comment

After the success of the Pond olive mayfly larva post I thought I post about another of the ponds amazing creatures: the Phantom midge larva. I took some photos of these creatures today. They are specialised predators that live a mostly planktonic life. Floating around in open water they would be easily spotted and vulnerable…

bird, Kent, Oare, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 6, 2013Leave a comment

Here are a few photos (from June last year) of a pair of nesting Avocets. Due to the risk of from egg thieves I held off from posting these and then never got round to it, so here they are:

Alien Species in Britain: The Green lizard (Lacerta viridis + L. bilineata)

Alien Species, Factfile, ReptileBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 5, 2013Leave a comment

Here is an article I wrote for my old blog. I’ve gone through and checked for mistakes and added some bits: Green lizard is the common name that refers to two species that were formally one (Lacerta viridis).

Cloen dipterum Pond Olive Mayfly

Ephemeroptera, Factfile, Freshwater invertebrates, insectBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 3, 20132 Comments
