Garlic and bread?

More pics from Raf's Extreme Images, this time from the garden at base camp.


A male Blue Tailed Damselfly is watching over his mate laying her eggs in our pond.







Laying an egg...


Getting deeper...



Submerged...


All this action only 10 feet from the kitchen window.

But up on the garage roof a Herring Gull gets to serious grips with a chunk of stale garlic bread.







A totally handsome brute...

Whilst taking these pics we noticed a dollop of Fox doo-doo on the garage roof. A good leap required to get up there. Baited up with a chicken carcass for a photo opportunity but it disappeared during the dark hours.
Where to next? A trip out coming up soon.
In the meantime let us know what's been chomping your left-overs.

Fantastic macro shots of the damselflies. In that second photo, the gull looks downright ferocious!

Unfortunately we've had a rat start to take advantage of our bird feeders - that's what's been chomping our 'leftovers'. I have to get a Have-A-Heart trap since its living under the houseboat, and I won't bring myself to kill it.
