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.

Playing with Pentax Q and DA300mm

bird, Essex, warbler, wat tyler cp, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 6, 2013Leave a comment

The weather was meant to be sunny this morning: it wasn’t at 8.30am when I was trying out the new set up! (my Pentax Q and DA*300mm.) I was shooting 1/50th to about 200th second at 1680mm on a tripod. I got some ok results though considering most of these are cropped too. Female wigeon.…

Upside down lesser water boatman

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, heteroptera, insect, wat tyler cp, water boatmanBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 31, 2013Leave a comment

Photographing more pond creatures today this lesser water boatman suffered from delusions of grandeur, sitting upside down at the surface like one of its larger relatives the greater water boatman . This algae eater is not going to kid anyone though, for as well as being smaller, it lacks that needle like mouth that the…

Water louse Asellus aquaticus

crustacean, Essex, Factfile, Freshwater invertebrates, Isopod, wat tyler cp, water louseBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 31, 20132 Comments

Regular readers will know I photograph pond creatures on a fairly regular basis, but up until today I have never managed a shot I’m happy with of a Water louse Asellus aquaticus. I catch them on most pond dips, but because they are so common, combined with the fact they have the habit tucking themselves…

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…

Common Backswimmer Notonecta glauca

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, heteroptera, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJanuary 25, 2013Leave a comment

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.
