Eurasian River Otter (Lutra Lutra) ((again)) I Had The Great Pleasure Of Watching This One Hunt For A

A male Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) keeping an eye on the strange man with the camera.

Another White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus Lucorum) for you.

Common (European) starling (sturnus vulgaris)

The floofiest floof to ever floof!

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)

Ice crystals formed on a spiderweb.

I ordered some extension tubes for macro work, to replace the finicky reversed-lens method, and they happened to arrive on a day we had freezing fog. I couldn't resist having a play out in the cold with them and I must say I'm impressed with their ease of use compared to the reversed lens, (for reference see the woodlouse picture below) although I think there is more chromatic aberration. More experiments are needed but I'm pleased with these shots as a starting point.

Gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)

Oh to be a squirrel, hanging from a tree with the back legs, eating with the front.

Eurasian River Otter (Lutra lutra) ((again)) I had the great pleasure of watching this one hunt for a while, it never resurfaced without a fish. From the orange tails I believe he was catching roach (Rutilus rutilus) but I could be wrong.

Wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus)

This cute little bugger was hiding in the back of my shed, managed to get a (high ISO) shot before leaving her/him alone.

Common Raven (corvus corax)

This one was found in an unexpected place (for me anyway) It was foraging where a river met the sea, and appeared to be turning over rocks, looking for molluscs or crabs perhaps.

Crab spider (Misumena vatia) This tiny spider was in a very awkward place and this was the best picture I could get. They are apparently colloquialy known as a White Death Spider, which seems a little dramatic as long as you aren't a bee or butterfly, as these spiders wait on flowers to ambush pollinators. This image was taken with a Nikon 40mm lens on a 12mm extension tube.
