Reflections on Terns.
Terns at a distance at Titchfield Haven – with hazy light condition giving calming atmosphere.
Another spider.
Amaurobius fenestralis
The species of spider is widespread in most of Britain. The spider is found in woodlands under the bark of trees. This spider was under the bark of a dead pine tree in the New Forest.
Red Admiral.
Heather.
Heather is also known as ‘ling’ and is a common plant on heathland, moorland, and bogs. To do well it requires acidic or peat soils. It has delicate pink flowers that appear from August to October. Plants grow tightly packed together and can live for over 40 years
Walking on paths in the New Forest across Hatchet Moor several Wheatears were keeping just in front of us on the Heather.
These birds are female birds or juveniles. The male bird is a blue-grey above, with black wings and white below with an orange flush to the breast. It has a black cheek.
New Forest Donkeys.
While in the New Forest on Friday we were visited by some Donkeys who seemed to like the shade from our van’s awning.
They just seemed to like being around people.
Spiny Crab art.
Another one of 6 murals which have been painted across Hampshire, all depicting sea creatures, this one is on Hythe Pier.
Migrant Hawker Dragonfly.

Hornet on the hunt.
Watching a Hornet and trying to get some photographs of it it appeared to get caught in a spider’s web. This turned out to be an error and what had actually happened was that the hornet was attacking the spider and making a meal of it. After killing the Garden Spider it flew off with its body.

Sea fishing.
A solitary Little Egret quietly fishing as the tide comes in. This morning the rain arrived and the beach was almost empty of people I was able to sit down on the shingle and enjoy this egret going up and down and catching small fish.
