Today, I am showing you the birds and animals in stills and video I saw around the fields and roads of my 'old caravan', some are even taken from my bed!  Quite a number are taken from a distance and heavily cropped therefore are not good, however I have included them as I record for myself.
Yellowhammer -Male

Yellowhammer - Female
Song Thrush
Mute Swans
Blackbird-Female
Dunnock -Juvenile

Chaffinch -Male
Lesser Black backed Gull
Linnet -Male
Fox passed by when I was looking at the cows


Wimbrel

Mute Swans, Little Egret and Grey Heron
Swallow

Goldfinch


Family of Greenfinch









Hare
Wren
What is this bug?  ANYONE?

The video can be accessed at  http://youtu.be/EE21Hhzc7gw

This will be the last post for another few days as the 'Old Caravan' beckons again!

    That bug is the larva of the seven spot ladybird.

    A fabulous selection Margaret but my favourite would have to be 'a little bit of bread and nooo cheese'.

    Good video Margaret. You have had more luck than me with Yellowhammers this year. I can't get anywhere near them.

    wow...lots of good stuff! Love when the birds sit on top of a tree and sing :-) Makes it so nice for taking photos. Love the little dunnock and the fox! Your goldfinch is so different from ours, but very beautiful!

    Oh I love the boy Yellowhammer's fancy hair peak, as if he's been to the coiffeur for the photoshot. Wonderful shots, the little fox is priceless.

    Wow!..the 'old caravan patch' sure does well for wildlife Margaret! A great 'collection' you've got there!
    And the bug?...it's a ladybird pupae (Harlequin I think!)...after 7 to 10 days it becomes an adult ladybird...[;o)

    I agree with CT about the Yellowhammers. I haven't seen one for at least eight years and used to see them regularly up here. Sp pleased you are getting them where you are.

    These photos of the birds you captured are just fabulous! I am trying to decide my favorite. Hope that fox did not eat any of the birds! After taking a second look, I think it would be the Yellowhammer, which I have never even heard of! Cute and beautiful all at once!

    This is a lovely collection of birds you've captured with your lens. I love how the yellowhammer perches at the top of the evergreen.

    oh oh I see that my first comment didn't appear-unless I was offensive in my comment, I hope not. I love this variety of birds, and especially the male yellow hammer's peeked hair cut..neat the video.
