Beetles and Bugs

 I went looking for Adders yesterday, I did see one female but unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get any pictures as I only saw it slithering it into some bracken and I lost sight of it after that. I did however see my first Tiger Beetles and Shieldbugs of the year.

Green Tiger Beetle.


Hairy Shieldbug.

Blue Shieldbug?


Heath Beetle of which there were loads.



Not sure which species of Beetle this is.

Kingfisher

 A few images of a male and female Kingfisher recently. And no matter how many times I have seen them It’s always an absolute privilege to watch them.

Roe Deer…

 …seem to be everywhere at the moment

These were “up the whinnies” as we used to call the fields they were in when we were kids.




Brown Hare “up the whinnies”.

Another day and a different Brown Hare not far from where the other was.




Barn Owl out hunting.

The same Barn Owl on a very distant post.
