Great crested newt

amphibian, Essex, newtBy Neil-UKWildlifeAugust 19, 2017Leave a comment

I recently had the opportunity to photograph an adult Great crested newt (under license) properly for the fist time using my photo aquarium and natural light. I have seen the photo on survey many times, but this was the first time I had found one in the day time and when I had my set…

Courting adder

Essex, Reptile, snakeBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 24, 2017Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph a male adder. He wasn’t alone, as there was a female there trying to bask nearby and he was paying her lots of attention, crawling over her and smelling her with his tongue. Trying to get under her. And sometimes nudging her in the…

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…

Migrant hawker Aeshna mixta in flight

insect, odonataBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 4, 2012Leave a comment

After all the excitement of the rare southern migrant hawkers, it seem that only the migrant hawkers (Aeshna mixta) are still on the wing. I had a look at West Canvey Marshes on Sunday and there has been no sign this week at Wat Tyler CP. The week before last I came across a migrant…

Palmate newt Lissotriton helveticus male

amphibian, Freshwater invertebrates, newtBy Neil-UKWildlifeMarch 6, 20122 Comments

I had a quick dip in a pond at Wat Tyler CP this evening just before the sun had set.  And when I say quick I mean I put the net in the water just the once!  Along with a diving beetle larva was a small newt: I thought it was rather small for a…
