This one was huge!
This is a caterpillar. I don't touch or hold them as some can be dangerous to humans. I will, however, take plenty photos! I really don't know much about caterpillars and not sure what this one is? And what it will eventually become.
This is a mushroom, but I don't know what kind. It does look a bit strange and I dare not eat this one!
This little ladybird is so tiny, but you can see the legs! I think it is very cute and love ladybirds. Sadly they are in trouble in Scotland and their numbers are really low each year :-(
Saving more frogs again. I keep telling them to stay off the main paths! But they don't listen haha!
Isn't this butterfly gorgeous. In the first photo it has a friend, a hoverfly I think. It changed position for the second photo!
At first the crow isn't interesting but after a short time it is looking at me. I told it not to worry, that I am a friend and would feed him! I think a few times after this he did come down from the branch looking for seeds! I am happy making friends with the crows.
The baby coots are still doing really well and you can see mother duck at the bottom of the photo. Both coot parents are in this photo along with 2 of the babies.
This bee wasn't doing very well. So I picked it up and it crawled around my hand and arm! I managed to get it to a flower and it was better again. It must have needed some nectar! You can see my arm is covered in moles and freckles...I need to be careful in the sun. I have no fear picking and holding bees but I would never hold a wasp!
These Daffodils are growing among all the dried out grass! I liked this as the yellow brightens up the area!
In this part of Scotland, there are plenty Raspberry Bushes. This is my first wild rapsberry and I can confirm it was very tasty!
I am glad to report the baby coots are all doing well. There are 5 in total. The parents are doing such a great job!
The coots at my local pond have had babies! I feed them pellets most days. This is a lovely photo of the parent feeding the baby. Coot babies start off with red and yellow fluffy heads, they are so cute.
