I still haven't found a fully Squirrel-proof Bird feeder yet!
Then a Woodpigeon decided to flap in, just as the photo was taken. An additional beauty to the background, I suppose....

Grey Squirrel
My dad took this picture of a Grey Squirrel while it was perfectly posing, nibbling on our Bird food.

Devil's Coach-Horse
I don't think I've posted this one before - Devil's Coach-Horse (Staphylinus Olens)
I think I found it in August 2015. Oh, how fast that year went! I hardly saw it go!
But I suppose I'll be saying the same to 2016 in January 2017....

Wild Rabbit
So, one of the first folders I came across had all the pictures of the rabbit in our garden. I posted about 3 or 4 of them in a previous post, but now I've decided to post the lot!
The post below this one has a picture of a baby Rabbit. Not from these photos. That one, I spent two long hours trying to catch it out of my mum's Polytunnel!

Honeypot!
Looking through all my photos, I found large stashes of photos of wildlife, landscape, plants, and more!
I will be posting as many as possible during the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled!

Galeruca Tanaceti
I found this interesting Beetle while looking for insects on my list for my BugChallenge.(www.bugchallenge.blogspot.co.uk)
After a lot of research, I found it's Scientific Name, Galeruca Tanaceti.
I looked everywhere for a Common Name, but to no avail. Then I found a links to the Tansy Leaf Beetle, which, on some websites, said that it's Scientific Name was Galeruca Tanaceti, but the majority of websites, such as Wikipedia, claimed that the Tansy Leaf Beetle's Scientific Name was Chrysolina Graminis! What I know for certain, is that it is from the Family of Leaf Beetles, and that, according to Naturespot.org, this is a Female beetle, because of the Abdomen, protruding beyond the Elytra. The website does not state any Common Name for the Beetle.
Some websites also say that this Beetle feeds mainly on Knapweed, and is most commonly found in dry places, between April and September.
I'm quite baffled by these identifications, so I will leave Galeruca Tanaceti without a Common Name, and hope that in the near future, I will find out.
If anybody has any information on this, I would be glad if you could post it in the comments, or contact me on Google+ (Alex Sidney), or Facebook (Alex Sidney).
