Nature & wildlife pictures

Sorry no pictures. For several weeks now I have been finding things knocked over in the workshop. Today I found the culprit. There was much scrabbling and rustling in the back of the workshop and when I investigated I found a Hedgehog that had got into a big garden bin and couldn’t get out. Put the bin on its side so it could escape. I think it is living in the straw bales that I store in there.

I’m leaning towards Pearl boarded fritillary rather than dark green fritillary.

   

the ewes and lambs are gone, now we have geese and goslings

   
   
   

Orange tip on cuckoo flower

         

Cucumber green orb spider ( very cool name). 

   

He must of been a bit dizzy. I found him on the underside side of a pallet. After I’d rolled it to the top of the plot.

now it’s ducks in the garden     

Red ants on my apple.

         

Not sure what was going on. 2 of them were having a tug of war with another ant. Another one just wandering around and coming over to check how the others were doing occasionally.

Cannibalism? Not sure I want to like that, red ants bite me!

I react very badly to red and bits. Because I’m delicate     . They’re still fascinating little things.

Maybe it was a dead ant and the undertakers had come in to remove or dismember it. In case you think I'm intelligent, I read this here https://anthacks.com/why-do-ants-carry-dead-ants/

Thanks veggie, very interesting. Reading that, it all sounded very familiar. Must of seen that before somewhere. Probably a David Attenborough program   .
