So this is my new Winter / Christmas scene this year, this urban moving into rurual Winter landscape which is die cut and features a separate stand up hare and fox.
It is large at 59cm long x 21cm high and folds up so you can post it in a C5 envelope. Price £9.
Good question, earthworms vanish into their burrows as I approach but have never waited to see how long before they resume feeding. Gulls do a clever tap dance to trick the worms to emerge so it is complex. Not sure about artificial lighting, the torch (to avoid snails) brings a big & sudden change.
The rain has brought earthworms to the surface and the badgers are working the fields. Vibration from footsteps (or light from a torch) will send the worm back underground but badgers are experts. #mammals
It was and still is common in magazines, shutter speed and lens focal length and aperture can be of interest to other photographers akin to screen mesh size, ink and paper choice. Camera manufacturer tags are generally meaningless.
Volume on! (Sound is straight from bat, no detector or amp!).
This little Whiskered bat was found roosting on Holland & Barrett's door, Honiton. The species is always full of rage! (Maybe he wanted a calming herbal tea?). Safely released. #bats#wildlife#nature@batconservation.bsky.social
Thank you John and Alice for producing such great prints and sharing the production stages and methods. It brings much joy and encouragement to many people.
A little bit early in the evening for the #badger cub to leave the safety of the sett entrance but a stretch to reach an offered peanut is in order. #mammals
The inner part of a broken nest of what looks like a Median #Wasp, not one I am familiar with. I read that they normally nest well above ground, this one was in tall grasses on a footpath.
The young starlings crowded around the bowls of water put out on the garden table for starling style squabbling bathing. I think they enjoyed themselves.
The lovely @braintreemuseum.bsky.social has an exhibition of Toys and Games which includes perhaps the best display of #Brendatoys soft toys in recent times. Last day is Saturday 28th. Brenda Cheese deserves to be better known for her work.
