Spot the kingfisher fly-by (with delayed reaction from old Lightning-Fingers Blay over here)

@lizardschwartz I recently got a clip-on macro lens for my phone and it's a gamechanger! Nice to be able to get better photos while I'm out running.

Just in case you haven't already seen enough Jersey tigers this summer.

Not just a DOG ON THE NEWS, but @themarkrad, too!

Orthoptera selection from today: Roesel's bush-cricket, common field grasshopper and a speckled bush-cricket boudoir photoshoot in a creeping thistle seedhead.

This is only the second wasp spider I've ever found, and it was completely by accident! What a beaut.

Comma pupation. They remind me of steampunk-looking fruit bats hanging upside down.

@birder_bee I've seen them several times but only managed to photograph one recently - and they still weren't great photos. They're so tiny and don't stay still for long! Would you mind sharing which clip on macro lens you use?
