This "appears" to be a Gulf Fritillary. Females are a soft orange patterning as compared to the burnt orange males.

A wood pigeon standing in snow in the garden. He’s looking into the camera with a slightly fed up look, he was no doubt fed up about the weather.

A little blue tit clings on to a peanut feeder in the garden. Its body is facing away from me with its head turned around looking right into the camera. It’s piercing gaze appears to be question how I have the audacity to interrupt its meal.

A macro image of a fly sitting on the end of a petal on a rudbeckia. The rudbeckia is on the extreme left of the image, sliced through the middle by the framing, its petals reach out across the image. Sitting on the end of the furthest reaching one is the fly. It looks as though it’s on a springboard building up the courage to jump.

A female chaffinch perched on a branch of a cherry tree in the garden. It’s spring and it’s in blossom and looking gorgeous. The sun is also shining which always helps. The bird is looking right into the camera.
Chaffinch (I believe that’s what it is…)

An infrared image taken in my local park, on the left a pond enters the frame curving over towards the right. There is a backdrop of trees. On the grassy bank of the pond is a family of geese, the male is closest to me and looking to the left? Very alert as he’s guarding his family. The female is next facing away and close to the goslings? Who are gathered together in a heap on the floor, it’s obviously nap time.

A photograph of myself in the open cockpit of a Tiger Moth DH 60, a vintage biplane from circa 1935, getting ready for takeoff.
A photograph from a section of Indre Oslo fjord (Paddehavet) taken from the open cockpit of a Tiger Moth DH 60, a vintage biplane from circa 1935.
13 years ago I got to fly in an open cockpit vintage biplane—a definite high point in my life as I am crazy about WW1 aircraft.
A Tiger Moth DH 60, somewhat far removed from 1914/1918, still, probably as close as I’ll ever get to a WW1 aircraft.

A feeder on a cherry tree in the garden on it are two birds bathed in sunlight. One, a Siskin, is feeding, the other, a redpoll, is sat appearing to look into the camera, in fact he was looking around and I hit the shutter at the right moment. The redpoll looks quite young, but it has it adult colours and only being March it must be from last year so not ever so young.

A female blackbird standing on a small rock in my garden. She’s facing to the right with a little light catching her feathers and making them gleam. In front of her is a newly emerging fern its fronds just starting to uncurl.

A tiny bluetit makes its way into the birdbath, you can see how alert it is always looking for danger so it can take flight. Ripples are spreading across the water surface as it steps in. The backdrop is defused foliage as I used a shallow depth of field to isolate the subject.

One from my garden. A dragonfly is resting on one of the corten steel plant supports. The back drop is yellow and orange as is the dragonfly so it’s quite well camouflaged.

A gull sat on a balustrade beside the river in Lincoln. It’s standing tall and proud to the right of the image looking to the left. Beyond it the river flows through the image and beyond that is a backdrop of trees.

A song thrush perch on the side of the birdbath in my garden. It’s taking down a beak of water and so has its head up in the air. The sun is shining on its front making its beautiful arrowhead markings on its chest pop. The foliage backdrop is defused owing to a narrow depth of field.

A scene from one of the feeders in my garden. It holds sunflower hearts and has had a lot of interest from the local siskin and redpoll just recently. In this image one siskin is sate on the feeder and another on a twiggy branch close by. A redpoll has been bullied off by them and is exiting the frame in a swooping downward dive with its wings outstretched.

"Another cicada pic. Just because their 'singing' at the moment makes it feel like my tinnitus volume has been multiplied by an unbelievable degree." A rather attractive green and black patterned, long wing insect with some markings of yellow.
