Wolves Wild

Huge caterpillar, species unidentified, crossing the path along the edge of the shingle beach overlooking the RSPB Mimsmere Reserve.

Distant views (the best I got) of a marsh harrier quartering the Dingle Marshes RSPB Reserve at Dunwich.

Cockchafer – a beetle big enough to draw attention to itself – feeding on a yellow rose. The vicious-looking rear end is not a weapon. It’s used by the females for placing their eggs in the ground.

Little egret stepping out on the marshes at Warbleswick.

Common blue damselflies on Compton Park pool. Thirty or more present, flying over the shrinking areas of open water. Most were unattached males, but several pairs engaging in mating and ovipositing.

Duckling pair with the mother, on the canal just upstream from Wightwick Mill Lock.
