Islands in the sea of days

I've been quite busy lately so not updated as much as I would like to so I'm going to cover a few weekends in one update...

Nope. Not Alder berries! See how I put my learning to good use...

Also I THINK thats a sand lizard. Quite rare in their way. Though, it might not be. They do prefer the habitats provided by Thursley though. As to the dragon fly, no idea. However, thursley has more than its fair share of rare dragonfly! Which in turn brings rare birds who love a feat of tasty dragonfly.

Man, school is FUN!

I hoped you might be informative. Now a botanist would be able to inform us it was Alder Buckthorn. I know this because one did.

Also a sand lizard confirmed by the same source. But the dragonfly remains enigmatic.

Lovely heavy horse shots! And so glad Cooper didn't join in the bucking, as that is one big horse.

The berries look like Alder Buckthorn, a plant beloved of both Brimstone butterflies and gunpowder manufacturers... I think the dragonfly's maybe a female Common Darter? (Not positive on that, because the Darters all look pretty similar).

I thought maybe a yellow-winged darter on account of the yellow on the wings, but they are a bit samey. I was surprised how many darters turn up in that colour as I really hadn't noticed them before.

Wicked stuff. :D Love the shires of course, but that lizard is so gorgeous.

There are a lot of them around at the moment. I'm surprised I have never figured out the difference between sand and common lizards until now.

And I didn't post the one you hated ;p

[herecirm]

I didn't hate it, it would have been a lovely photo if not for the unfortunate inclusion of my face!

YOUR FACE only improves any photograph it is in.
