  1. Sorry fat fingers syndrome
  2. Sorry, meant mars h tit
  3. It's a willow tit
  4. Firecrest has a white supercilium (eyebrow stripe). Still quite sparsely distributed in the UK - common in New Forest (mostly Bolderwood), Forest of Dean - but like all birds it can fly and could turn up anywhere. I 've seen them on Berry Head near Brixham and at Upton Warren in Worcestershire.
  5. Used to know a bloke who had a pin and ink tatoo done by his brother right across his back. When working with his shirt off people could read "Elvis Pressley was the knig". I once suggested "Sting is a wnaker" but he didn't get it.
  6. Ash beetle
  7. The first thing people think about is obviously "I've got a potentially fatal respiratory infection so I'll have a shit"
  8. Yep, Ginko biloba
  9. I'd say white poplar as well because of the diamond patterns
  10. Oak apple gall wasp | The Wildlife Trusts WWW.WILDLIFETRUSTS.ORG Living up to its name, the oak apple gall wasp produces growths, or 'galls', on oak twigs that look like little apples...
  11. It doesn't look like beaver gnawing around an existing hole, looks more like rabbit or grey squirrel
  12. Marbled newts are fantastically beautiful. There are a few sites in the UK where they have been introduced (popular with pet keepers) Yellow-bellied toads display their marking to advertise their toxicity. Found in ditches and puddles in Transylvania but classed as rare throughout Europe. Spectacular species I admit to getting the 4-spotted chaser wrong I'd forgotten the broad-bodied chaser is common at this time of year
  13. First batch 1) meadow brown 2) Swallowtail species 3) bee winged hawkmoth 4) poplar hawkmoth 6) black-veined white Second batch 2) crab spider species 4) 4-spotted chaser 7) midwife, fire-bellied or yellow bellied toad (need to see the underside to id properly) I gather you live in Europe, probably France as they aren't all UK species
  14. I worked at Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and started him off with slow-worm research
  15. Scott? If so i recall him very well top lad
  16. Didn't study at Bournemouth by any chance?
  17. Apologies due- it is a female orange tip I forgot they have black markings on the forewing edges ?
  18. Looks like female large white to me, nectaring not laying on garlic mustard (dark spots on wings) The small blue looks most likely to be a holly blue but can't be sure without seeing the underside The slow-worm is the finest creature on the planet in my book i'm a retired ecological consultant by the way
  19. Horse chestnut twig
  20. I'll be buggered if I go round his house
