Chaetogaster limnaei worm on a Ramshorn Snail

Essex, Freshwater annelid, Freshwater invertebrates, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 28, 20131 Comment

A couple of years ago I found a Ramshorn snail and decided to photograph it. I looked closer and I could see some white worm like creatures crawling over it. I struggled to work out what they were, but I recently asked around and was told by a member of the Wild about Britain forum…

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.

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…

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…

Fox in the Frost

Essex, fox, mammal, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 20, 20131 Comment

Before all this snow arrived, I went for a walk around a frosty and sunny Wat Tyler Park, where I came across a fox hunting for food. I only managed one shot as it was partly hidden by bushes most the time, and between me and the sun, but I quite like it.

Rabbit

Essex, mammal, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 18, 20131 Comment

Some shots of a Rabbit back in 2012. Note the mosquitoes in these photos, the park is swarming with them in spring/summer!

Orange tip butterfly Anthocharis cardamines

butterflies, Essex, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 17, 20131 Comment

Back in May I had one day where I got some shots of orange tip butterflies Anthocharis cardamines. There were a few males around. And a female reacted positively to interest from one male.
