Marsh Frog and Migrant Hawker swarm at Rainham marshes

amphibian, Essex, frog, RSPB RainhamBy Neil-UKWildlifeAugust 30, 2013Leave a comment

On bank Holiday Monday I popped into Rainham Marshes for the day. There had been masses of good birds the previous two days, which were long gone by then! There were however loads of marsh frogs. I wanted a low angle shot, but the boardwalks and paths are 50cm or so above water level. luckily…

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…

Common lizard on a reed and others at Rainham Marshes

amphibian, bird, Essex, heron, Reptile, RSPB RainhamBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 20, 2012Leave a comment

On visit to RSPB Rainham Marshes in April I saw 2 stoats, one of which was right in front of me, but I couldn’t get a clear shot of it in the reeds and grass. There was a silver lining however, as it scared one of the common lizards up into the reeds, where it…

Magpie, Crow and Jay

bird, crowBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 27, 2012Leave a comment

A few shots from back in the summer. Some bread had been thrown on the floor and I noticed some magpies hanging around. So I settled down in the shade nearby and waited. Corvids are usually wary and there is no exception at Wat Tyler Park so I had to stick on the teleconvertor and/or…

2 tailed common lizard at RSPB Rainham Marshes

Essex, Reptile, RSPB RainhamBy Neil-UKWildlifeJune 17, 20122 Comments

I paid a visit to Rainham Marshes today as the weather forecast seemed OK, if a bit windy.  The wind pretty much ruled out any serious macro, except for larger stuff on the boardwalks and fences.  Around the bird woodland boardwalk there were plenty of common or viviparous lizards. However this one was a bit…

Scarce chaser dragonfly, greek marsh frog, mammoth wasp and beautiful demosielle

amphibian, insect, odonataBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 13, 2012Leave a comment

On a trip to a reservoir in kefalonia we saw some interesting stuff. There were scarce chaser dragonflies flying around. There were greek marsh frogs. This mammoth wasp was on a flower. A blue tailed damselfly perched nicely. As did this beautiful demoiselle.
