Wildlife Pictures
Pictures on this page are thumb-nailed. Click on them to see the full size image.
If you have pictures that you think would look good on these web pages I would be happy to see them and probably publish them here. Send them as attachments to an e mail to john@havantnature.net. It helps me if the file name is changed to 'species - your name'. That way I won't use your picture in future without giving proper credits. Thanks in anticipation.
Two pictured by Eric Eddles of a confiding knot and the usual spotted redshank at Nore Barn Emsworth.
The right hand picture was taken by Andrew madgwick.
Excellent pictures by Andrew Madgwick who writes "I
found it difficult, at my age, to scramble down the embankment and then lying
almost prone to get a level shot of the birds. Pity the sun was behind the
subject.
The first picture is of a little egret with a greenshank. The second is of a male goldeneye in Langstone Harbour
A sparrowhawk in a Milton garden. Dec
and January 2011.
Picture from Don & Lorna WilkinsonFungus and oddities!
These three pictures are from Val Vardon. The first is shaggy parasol and was found near Holt Pond in QE Country Park. The second was near a Juniper in the country park but what is it? My guess is that it is a slime mould possibly Fuligo candida but these are difficult organisms to identify. The final picture is I believe pin mould on clustered bonnet mushroom.
The first two pictures are of an adder, the nest two of a dark bush cricket and the next two slow worms. The bug is I think a shield bug (probably an early instar) that I have yet to fully identify. The flower is giant mullein.
Violet Ground Beetle in my garden
These flowers were in flower on the sea wall just south of Vospers on 14th August. They are chicory, everlasting pea, lucerne and finally the very rare sand lucerne with different coloured flowers on the same plant.
Ann Holloway's picture of a garden tiger moth in her
Petersfield garden.
The first two pictures were taken by Lorna Wilkinson on Milton Common. The flowers are soapwort. The moth is a small magpie photoghraphed at Fort Widley by Eric Eddles. Finally the dragonfly is, I think, a juvenile migrant hawker - very similar to a juvenile southern hawker - photograpohed by Adele Mallows.

Caals picture of a weasel carrying a young into rocks at Nutbourne.
The third picture taken by Hazel Rouse is f a surprising cluster of flower spikes.
The first flower is a rather pink eyebright. The other two show the rare sickle medic in flower on one of the grass traffic islands at 'The George'.

The first two pictures are from Lorna Wilkinson and are goats rue on Milton Common and a white dove (It does not appear to be truly albino) in Lorna's garden.
The other two are Adelle Mallows picture of cinnabar moth caterpillars on Ragwort.
These pictures taken on the Wildlife Trust walk on 30th are from the left - clustered bellflower; deadly nightshade (2); six spot burnet moth; forester moth (poor picture but the only time I have ever seen this species) and a silver-washed fritillary.
Flowers on Portsdown w/e 25th June.
Three pyramidal orchids - an ordinary one, a white one and one with oddly finer sepals and petals.
Three pictures of the same bee orchid. In the middle picture the pollinia (the green bit in the middle of the picture) is still free. In the last picture of the next to top flower the pollinia has bent to pollinate the orchid.
Finally a white greater knapweed flower.
