I recorded three season firsts today, and I’m posting photos of two of them this evening. The main image, featured at least partly because he was the hardest subject of the day to capture on camera, is a male red … Continued

Today was a day of two halves. This morning was warm and bright, with very little wind, and there were so many invertebrates flying that when I went out walking with the camera that I hardly knew where to point … Continued

Macro madness

by JDO | posted in: Bees, Flowers and plants, Invertebrates, Trees, Worcestershire | 0
