The Whinies

 My wife and I had a short local walk recently up what we called, years ago, the Whinies. I was pleased to see a good number of different Shieldbugs and loads of Spiders.

Wagtail & Dipper.

Still behind (I always am) these images are from the end of last month at the Causey Burn. 

Mayfly.

This is a cloud of Midges I had to shoot through to get the images of both the Wagtail & Dipper. The little yellow dot in the centre of the shot is a Wagtail.

Grey Wagtail.

Barn Owl

  I have finally caught up on the processing of the images I have taken recently (apart of the ones taken at work over the last few weeks) so here are a few more images of a local Barn Owl.

This Gull was harassing the Barn Owl.

It was even harassed by a Magpie.
