Wonderful World of Nature

I wonder how big the under ground space is that all that water is pouring into, I am not sure I would feel safe stood there watching.

Fascinating indeed.

looks like a gravel pit, the type that become country parks

Part Two.

How would you like one of these in your backyard? Or even in your living room!

Part Three

Of local interest.

Part four.

Of similar interest.

I've just had one of these on my valerian on the patio. Fascinating.

That's one thing I've not seen this year, they feed on the honeysuckle on the yard, lovely things, I believe they actually migrate over here.

Had one on my Lavender last year in Ayrshire, none yet so far this though.

This just landed on my shed roof, WTF IS IT ?

Thats a Humming bird Hawk Moth very rare and also very nice. They do like the honeysuckle flower because of the design.

This one I spotted a few years a go in a customers garden.

It's very nice but not as rare as the gullshark methinks.

Wow! I hope that's your piccie!!! Impressive capture!

My camera has been requisitioned by my daughter until she finds her memory card or buys a new one otherwise I would have had a go. Not that I think I would have managed one as good! I'm aware that there are at least a couple of other photographers on here plus at least a couple of artists (piss-artists don't count). I dunno about educated wankers but that's certainly one or two artistic wankers! At risk of bringing the reputation of this place down.

Sailors used to call them the BJ bird.
