Crazylegs Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 We decided to take the dog for a walk along one of our 'Cami Cavells' (nature/country walks) this afternoon, they can be hard work at times, but the end reward is so worth it!x

I have a VERY large bird circling above me, don't know what it is, but its underside is the most beautiful deep red, will try to take a photo, but I only have a 'happy snappy' camera.and he is a 'tad' too fast for me!This beastie was waiting on my garden step this morning......................... x
Suzannek Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I took this lovely Horse Chestnut tree at Newton Aycliffe in County Durham yesterday, Autumn is a lovely time of year
Rbman Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 No wild life in either of these at 7.34 am ET , but lovely late summer sunrise in midtown New York......

Winsford Soul Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Sparrowhawk which was a daily visitor to the cottage in Pembrokeshire that I have just stayed atSteve
Peter99 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Amazing picture. Very coincidental but i found one of these on my back door step the other night. Not knowing a great deal about these creatures I was at first fairly wary of the red "sting" at the back. Obviously for show but it demonstrates how effective the animal world is at developing protective strategies. Peter

Apparently they're common and the caterpillars are on the move in September and October looking for a place to hibernate over winter before emerging as adult Moths next spring.Steve Edited October 15, 2015 by Winsford Soul
Peter99 Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Good evening my friend.  . Apparently they're common and the caterpillars are on the move in September and October looking for a place to hibernate over winter before emerging as adult Moths next spring.SteveHiya Steve.The one I found was making his way into the house - he was lucky I didn't step on him as I went out to feed my nightly visiting hedgehogs. I popped him in a pile of leaves under one of the shrubs. It was a beautiful looking thing. I suspect the I will only see the hedgehogs for a couple more weeks now - I have invested as much as I can in providing decent food for them, I hope they survive the winter and hibernation. They're lovely to see each evening.I hope you and Lou are well Sir.Peter
Philb Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Had to make a half size replica of the original wing, which I finished today, all made by hand.

It's fantastic.You have really looked after those hedgehogs, which will no doubt have helped them gain the necessary weight that they need to get them safely through hibernation. They will be looking for places to make a nest anytime soon as you have mentioned.Steve
Zed1 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Wow not looked at that before....great car fantastic backdrop . more of a Lotus fan but Vauxhall made a great fist of their type... The VX was based around the S2 Lizzy, but with the Vauxhall 2.2 ltr NA Vectra lump in the back instead of the weekly HGF K series in the Elise. The VX was a fantastic car, completely ruined by the Comedy Lotus build quality.Lotus = Loads Of Trouble Usually Serious Edited October 16, 2015 by Zed1

Scotters Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Sorry not normally a contributor on this thread, though I look now and then and flirted briefly with the bird and wildlife one a year or two ago!...Anyway I rarely take a good photo but quite proud of this one on way back from Bilbao soul weekend last Sunday night and managed to just about stay awake as we approached Stansted with this shot out the window using my old iPhone. Can't work out how to rotate it but hopefully you get the idea! Hey great photos you guys keep posting btw.
