While I was photographing dragonflies mating this Hornet started chasing them, that was a challenge and I missed the shot but then spent ages trying to get the Hornet, hundreds of photos deleted 😁 Ravensthorpe Reservoir 16/9/2 #Hornet #insects #Shadows

I had a Kingfisher fly across my line of sight way too close and unexpected to try for a photo before it disappeared but this unexpected one was a bit easier 😄 Great White Egret at Ravensthorpe Reservoir 16/9/24 #Northantsbirds #WaderWednesday

I thought I’d lost these photos for ID purposes and can’t believe I didn’t realise at the time it was a Hummingbird Hawk Moth but I’ve never seen one stationary before. This is the first I’ve had in the garden this year. 6pm 17/9/24 #MothsMatter Butterfly Conservation 🦋 Beds and Northants BC

A few of the butterflies at Coton Manor gardens 18/9/24 also plenty of whites. Butterfly Conservation 🦋 Beds and Northants BC
