I don't know what variety/ies the butterfly and caterpillar are but I
like the colour.
I was thinking of a title for the first image of 'Two
in One' but then thought perhaps 'After and Before' might be
appropriate.
'Sprightly Spaniard'
Greater Flamingo juvenile.
Hoopoe - Upupa epops.
Not as sharp as I'd like but for first images I think they're OK. Gives me something to improve on if I get another chance.
Relaxed Red Squirrel checking the quality of a discarded marble worktop.
The 'Sphodromantis viridis' is smiling.
Spanish 'Fan Dancer' called Garceta ComĂșn.

The articles I include in this personal Blog will include a varied range of subjects that interest me. They will predominantly relate to the United Kingdom (my homeland), Spain and Europe. Any opinions I express will probably not be too contentious, however they are mine and not that of any organisation or group of which I am a member.

Photograph Gallery for two week period ending 30 November 2014
As the title states this entry covers a two week period rather than the usual single week. I was away from my home base for four days during the first week and did not have access to a secure Wifi network so I didn't have a daily photograph post on social media for that time.
Here are the ten photographs that I did manage to upload in chronological order.
Our resident Robin resting.
Abandoned construction takes on its own beauty at sunset.
I'm sure Woodie isn't singing this as an act of religious hatred
What a desolate, depressing sight: Folkestone Leas Promenade bandstand on a cold, cloudy and damp November morning. Even the clock has stopped: I took the photograph at 10:07 am.
An example of 'Au Naturel' fitness.
Autumnal berries - a valuable food source for wildlife.
I wonder if it liked standing there so it could look as its own reflection and admire itself.
I thought I would title this 'Do Not Disturb' – but it had to be on Saturday by cars bringing children to football practice on the village playing field.
Wouldn't it have been easier to eat the fat ball at the top? I hope it can get its food to go up!

This week's offering of the daily photographs I have posted to Twitter and Facebook. They are in chronological, date order.
It is a tiring life going nowhere.
One of Nature's way of saying good-night.
Is it correct to write Woodpigeon (as per RSPB) or Wood Pigeon (as per majority of others)?
It doesn't mind whether the crab apples are ripe or past their best.
