I’m a lardarse so the single speed got taken for a spin this evening.
Saw a fish and a deer and a sign saying don’t bother hand sized deers.

It could also be don’t karate chop deers…
It’s not a very useful illustration.

Hi all,

Nice.
I can identify some of the plants and insects. The little Longhorn moth is Nemophora degeerella, the Stonecrop is "English Stonecrop "Sedum anglicum, the caterpillar is a "Drinker", I can't tell you which Lamprey it is.

Cheers Darrel

Hi all,
For those that don't know its a buying beetle and you'd be surprised just how impressive their burying skills are.
I had one of these the other day in the moth trap, a different one from @mort's and apparently this one is <"Nicrophorus vespillo">, because it has curved tibia.

I also had some-one look at @mort 's photo and apparently I gave you the wrong ID and it is <"Nicrophorus investigator">, because the anterior orange markings meet.

We used to get flocks of starlings when I was a kid but relatively few now. Nice to see they are breeding somewhere.
Other people I have sent it to seem to think they are song thrushes, i'm not really sure personally as not very knowledgable on birds though. But yea there was a lot of them
 
Don't know if I've ever seen a baby song thrush. I was just going by the starry patch on the top picture.


After mentioning starlings to them they have now reconsidered too 😅, i think youre right though, starlings seem far more likely to bicker and be greedy in their groups
 
blahblahblahblah end of nowhere on a plateau in Switzerland.

No wind. No sound. If you held your breath you could hear your heartbeat thumping away like a kick drum in that moment:

Something special about complete silence in desolate places. We’re noisy creatures.

Decent view of the Matterhorn behind:
