Migrant hawker, Black necked grebe and clouded yellow at RSPB Dungeness

bird, butterflies, insect, Kent, odonata, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 6, 2013Leave a comment

While at Dungeness on Saturday I came across a migrant hawker that had settles on a gorse bush. It stayed still while I got some close ups too. I also came across this clouded yellow butterfly. A kestrel posed, though a little distantly. A keeled skimmer sat on the path. A black necked grebe (as…

Duke of Burgandy Hamearis lucina

butterflies, butterflies, insect, KentBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 21, 20131 Comment

On Sunday I popped up to Bonsai Bank at Denge Woods in Kent and found my first ever Duke of Burgandy Butterflies, after failing to find them there last year. This butterfly is one of the fastest declining in the UK, declining 46% in the last 10 years. The small colonies around Denge woods are…

Wood pigeon close ups and collared dove

bird, Kent, pigeonBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 11, 2013Leave a comment

While in Kent a wood pigeon kept coming down to the garden bird table. It seemed relatively tolerant so I crept in towards it for a close up…. …and got one! I managed a shot of it on the fence waiting to come down. And later flying around in the trees. I got another nice…

Glow worm larva Lampyris noctiluca

beetles, Blean Woods, insect, KentBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 27, 20132 Comments

While on the Forest School Course last weekend, a member of the group found a Glow worm (Lampyris noctiluca) larva, and he was christened Gary! I got some close ups. When it felt threatened he retracted his head, which at one point made me think it had been knocked off somehow! It would also adopted…

Misty Morning at Elmely Marshes

bird, heron, Kent, landscape, mammal, rabbit, Sheppey, waderBy Neil-UKWildlifeFebruary 26, 2013Leave a comment

The morning of my last post when I got the Merlin was quite an atmospheric and misty one. There was bit of a frost around as an egret was hunting along a flooded ditch. There was a nice flock of curlews too. And a rabbit just about posed on the grass.

On Saturday I had a trip round Sheppey, thanks to Phil (@sheppeywildlife on twitter) and saw some great birds. The weather was very dull but I got my best ever shots of 3 birds. Little owl. Snow bunting And red legged or French partridge. I was a great day, thanks to Phil for showing me…

Large velvet ant – Mutilla europaea

hymenoptera, insect, Kent, OareBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 13, 20122 Comments

Back at the start of September I was walking around KWT Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in North Kent with a couple of friends when one spotted this creature running across the path. I recognised it imediately as one of the velvet ants, the female of a type of solitary wingless wasp. I had always wanted…

Heath fritillary butterfly

butterflies, insect, KentBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 15, 20121 Comment

After visiting Elmley Marshes last Saturday, we popped over to East Blean Woods, a Kent Wildlife Trust Reserve which is one of the best best sites for the rare heath fritillary butterfly.  It took a while to find one as the sun had disappeared behind some thick cloud.  But we looked around a promising spot…
