Your day's wildlife

[Aravis]

A very welcome morning visitor today. Actually one of about six:

I'm afraid this was the best I could achieve. They move fast...

Found this little chap ambling through the meadow on the headland above Tintagel castle this morning.
Dung beetle?

A crane fly(?), with only one and a half wings, hitching a lift on Mrs @BoldonLad's shoe.

Sat in the canteen, looking over Alconbury, an airbase being heavily turned over to commercial and housing development. Two crows were mobbing a kestrel. I watched for 5 minutes while they lazily followed and jabbed at it which it made no particular attempt to get away, just lazily tried to ignore them it seemed.
It then landed on a light stack, the two crows landed maybe foot away from it....all suddenly seemingly disinterested in each other. They perched there for 5 minutes...then off, crows one way, kestrel the other. Handbags at 5 paces it seemed

A grizzlier end...

Pink footed geese flying over while I was blackberrying. Robin in the garden yesterday. Winter is obviously on it's way

This is a Wall butterfly. ID guides say "it is often encountered on coastal footpaths" so, perhaps unsurprisingly, I encountered this on a coastal footpath. SW Coastal Path, Rame Head (near Plymouth) to be exact

We are still getting hogs visiting but the food intake has dropped but still drinking well

Monday night was an owl gliding out from a tree as I passed on the way home from work, this afternoon was a Muntjak deer darting out from a field of corn that was being harvested.

Small copper, aptly named - it is very small (and copper obs).
