Migrant hawker

Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 6, 2014Leave a comment

A few shots of a couple of male migrant hawkers I photographed recently. This male was pretty cooperative, if perched a little high to compose a shot with easily, so I had to use live view with my arms at full stretch. I stayed long enough for a wide angle shot. I later found a…

Rhantus Diving beetle larva

beetles, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeAugust 10, 20142 Comments

A few more aquarium shots, of one of the diving beetle larvae I found last week. It was from a pond that had dried out for a few day before being refilled 3 weeks ago, but these larvae either hid in the mud or have grown fast, as they were 2cm long already! EDIT –…

Aquatic caterpillars

Some recent posts on a Facebook page and on the Wild About Britain forum, as well as finding some aquatic caterpillars on some of the currently daily pond dips at work, made me realise I never posted (or even uploaded) my photos of these interesting creatures. These are the caterpillars of one of the china…

Bearded reedlings at Wat Tyler Country Park

bird, Essex, tit, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 2, 20141 Comment

Its been a while since I posted a blog. Thankfully its not just because I’ve been working lots, I’ve been all over photographing wildlife too! But today post is from ‘my patch’ Wat Tyler Country Park. I looks like there was 1 or probably 2 nests in the reed beds, as families could be seen…

Emperor moth pair

Essex, insect, moths, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 15, 2014Leave a comment

Last week, at Wat Tyler CP, I came across a pair of emperor moths that had been blown into middle of the entrance of a field, where they would have gotten trodden on.  So I picked them up and took them inside to show some friends and then took a few shots.  These are the…

5 species of odonata in April

Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 30, 20144 Comments

Yesterday I broke my dragonfly photography duck, well today I smashed it and got an unprecedented (for me) 5 species in April. Typically in April I might get my first large red damselflies, and I may have seen 1 or 2 more species in later days of April before, but 5 species is a new…

First odonata photos of the year: Large red damselflies

Essex, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 28, 2014Leave a comment

I’ve been seeing large red damselflies for a couple of weeks, but none until today have settled anywhere I could get a half decent photo. This male I found today in Wat Tyler CP sat nicely on a leaf and let me photograph him. There was however a bit of a light breeze and it…
