It's that Canada goose (branta canadensis) time of year again here in Wales. HONK!
Blue tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)
Slow worm (Anguis fragilis)
Status: Least Concern
Common Buzzard (buteo buteo) quartering in the sun.
The Goldcrest (regulus regulus), the smallest bird native to Britain. Weighing around 6.5g yet capable of crossing the North Sea according to my book. Not the best picture but I was pretty happy just to spot it.
European Nuthatch (sitta europaea)
Unfortunately, I was physically blocked from getting any closer for a better shot. I don't see many of these around.
Addendum: These photos look quite dark on my phone but look fine on my PC. I'll probably split the difference and re-upload.
Work smarter, not harder!
Crap phone photo but it made me laugh, the big snail was bookin' it (relatively speaking) and the little one was just sat there enjoying the free ride.
Both Garden snails (helix aspersa) I believe.
Common Raven (corvus corax)
This one was found in an unexpected place (for me anyway) It was foraging where a river met the sea, and appeared to be turning over rocks, looking for molluscs or crabs perhaps.
Your photos are just lovely. Particularly love your bird photography!
Thank you! I'd like to take photo's of more kinds of animals, especially wild mammals, but birds are just so accessible; they're everywhere. I have some mobility issues too so I can't go yomping around tracking deer and things like I used to. Maybe one day.
Woodlouse / isopod (porcellio scaber)
European robin (Erithacus rubecula)
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes Caeruleus)
