Wildlife in your Garden

It isn't, it is a Pipevine Swallowtail. They can be found in North and Central America.

Ooooh, you missed the opportunity to drop the "no it's a butterfly, mate" bomb!

I guess my sassiness failed me on that one.

Not sure what this is but I filmed it at our local beach (Irish Sea). Was about 100 - 150 m away so not great footage.

Dont think its a seal as more of a dorsal fin. Big catfish maybe? Small dolphin?

Nessie on holiday - and you missed out on the tourist attraction it could gave been!

That dorsal fin could be a flipper if the seal was rolling as it dived.

In the late 80s early 90s there was a friendly dolphin that would often visit local fisherman and swim in the harbours in the north east of England. Locals named him Freddy. Freddy the dolphin. Unfortunately a drunken local once tried shagging Freddy late at night and Freddy was never seen again.
This was before social media so the world never truly got to know. I had to ask some friends recently to make sure I never dreamt the whole thing up.

That crossed my mind too

Lifted the gas cylinder this morning to sweep out sand/leaves/dog fur and this Gheko was rather annoyed I'd woken him up.

Need to start using my camera again rather than laziness with the phone.

Got a little gheko, lives behind the tv or somewhere, will try for a pic, i see it out the corner of my eye scurring across the wall.
