Blue butterfly I think this butterfly is one of our most beautiful British species - but don't ask me to identify which blue it is . . .
Travellers Joy I think this is Traveller's Joy - which is an odd name because I think it is poisonous!
funnel fungus wonderful shape - don't think you can eat it though!
fungi weird glistening in the woodland leaf litter
fungi
More Fly Agaric . . . more, just because I like them!
Fly Agaric Fungi I find fungi fascinating - and Fly Agaric are my favourites - proper fairy toadstools
dead grass Grasses have such lovely architectural qualities
Primroses When I see the first wild primroses peeping through it makes me think that Spring is really on it's way
Orchid wild orchid
Pink bramble leaf Sometimes bramble leaves go bright pink - but not all of them?
purple star This flower is part of the Goats beard family but I don't know if it has a common name
Rosebay Willow Herb I think this common flower is often overlooked but can be amazing on mass
Hawthorn in flower The clusters of flowers look like snow, simple and white
Gorse Gorse is amazing - and smells just like toasted coconut when it's in full flower and warm in the sun!
Bee Orchid I was really thrilled when I spotted this stunning little wild flower - less so when the farmer mowed the field and they all got destroyed
Autumn light The light has a special quality in Autumn
Holly in the snow Holly bowing under the weight of snow - very seasonal
Red Berries They look like clusters of jewels, glossy after rain.
Red berries This is my favourite shrub ! Would love to have some in the garden . . . but I don't actually know what it is !
Thistle Seed Head beauty in just a fluffy seed head
The Rape Field

Grape Hyacinths I like to take a closer look at common flowers that could get taken for granted

White Iris totally different shape this delicate white iris
Deep Purple Iris The shapes of Iris are so beautiful and I really like the depth of colour

soft pink Aquilegia Contrasting soft pink Aquilegia
Aquilegia close up Aquilegia again but this one is the softest shade by comparison
Aquilegia Guinness I like this contrast of colours and shapes
In the pink flamboyant hot pink petals
Rosebud Roses are my favourites and this bud looked pretty well perfect to me - well I would have to like them being a Dip"rose" huh
Close up of Icelandic Poppy close up of this delicate cup
Icelandic Poppies vibrant but delicate
Bleeding hearts great shapes
Tulip I'm fascinated by bright flowers
Hyacinth detail shiny close up of a hyacinth flower
Crowing cockerel This is Basil the cockerel giving it his best
Old fashioned cockerel This gorgeous bird is a traditional cockerel - he has the most amazing colours
Bantam Hens & Chicks I loved these portly little bantam hens - like fussy tea cosies
White Hen white chicken close up of great orange beady eye
Canada Goose mum and goslings Too cute
Blue Titis feeding Blue tits on my bird table - before the woodpecker comes back . . .
Robin Red Brest This is actually a different Robin - not my stalker
Christmas card stuff? I think I might make a few of my own Christmas cards . . .
Robin close up this is the same bird - he followed me when I started to walk away
Robin I'm pretty sure this particular Robin was stalking me
Oyster Catcher in flight Thee birds have stunning markings - it was, I have to admit, rather a long way off . . . and being chased by one of my naughty dogs
Coot Fight Coots having a splashy punch up
Canada Goose close up Canada Geese get over looked I think because they are so common and outshone by the handsome swans but they do have appealing faces if you look more closely
Mute Swan attack This grumpy git was chasing an unfortunate Canada Goose - impressive bow wave I thought
classic mute swan shape this is how I think of Mute Swans
Blackbird male another of my garden favourites
Crow slightly sinister crow on a dead tree
Greater Spotted Woodpecker This hooligan somewhat took over my bird table - I forgave him because he was so eye catching however
Yellow Hammer Yellow Hammers were also more common when I was young - they are such vibrant little birds
House sparrow in flight the shape of the sparrow in flight in surprisingly beautiful
Young Grebe The baby Grebe has amazing black and white markings
Grebe all tucked up I like the way this Grebe tucked itself in - made a lovely shape
Grebe I haven't seen many Grebes but think they are stunning
House Sparrow When I was a child these lovely little birds were so common but now I just don't see them very often which, I think, is very sad.
Mr House Sparrow Male House Sparrow
Mrs House Sparrow female house sparrow this time - does this make her a Housewife Sparrow?
Mute Swan close up Close up shot of this handsome fella
Mute swan displaying another view of the mute swan who was giving me quite a display
Mute Swan I think swans somewhat lend themselves to photos but that doesn't make them any less beautiful!
Cock Pheasant This handsome chap interested me as he didn't have the usual white collar markings around his throat.
Heron wading Another Heron - this time wading - I think they are elegant
Heron sunset Heron - very distinctive shape
Blue Tit Another of my favourite birds - this cheeky little bird was displaying himself!
House Sparrow Not so common any more but I really like these little birds.
