Work

 A few images taken over a couple of days at work this month.

One of at least three Tawny Owl chicks that were sending Jays ballistic. This was one of two I managed to get pictures of but, as I said, I heard at least three altogether and I also saw the adult bird flying off.

A second chick. I was taking pictures of insects so I had a 105mm macro lens on the camera when I got these images of the Owls so wrong lens and all the wrong settings on the camera.

One of three Puss Moth Caterpillars. In this image it has what look like red streamers at the rear.

In this image they have gone.

A second Puss Moth Caterpillar.

The next few image are of the instar of the Common Green Shieldbug.
