Re: A close encouter of the wildlife kind.

I have started to do a bit of seawtching of late, as its the season for birds passing through, i have dipped on a couple of Minke whale, and Whitesided and Bottlenose dolphins but plenty time until October for a sighting.

The freshwater pond has nearly dried up but has left some muddy margins for waders etc. This fox visits often in the hope of a meal.



i found this sealpup sunbathing on a busy beach, however it was eventually disturbed by joe public who have no basic common sense.



Just alongside the returning waders were feasting on the tide wrack, they have good camouflage. 3 species, Turnstone, Dunlin,and Sanderling.



This 7 spot ladybird Europes commonest, came in off the sea and settled on my arm where it decided i was quite tasty and drew blood. (

Re: A close encouter of the wildlife kind.

thanks all, yes patience is important as wildlife turns up when it wants to as in the case of the fox and the seal, i knew in advance where the birds would be, but had to settle for a overhead shot to avoid disturbing the seal.

But as i like many aspects of natural history its rare there is not something to enjoy, while im waiting.
