Ice Crystals Formed On A Spiderweb.
Ice crystals formed on a spiderweb.
I ordered some extension tubes for macro work, to replace the finicky reversed-lens method, and they happened to arrive on a day we had freezing fog. I couldn't resist having a play out in the cold with them and I must say I'm impressed with their ease of use compared to the reversed lens, (for reference see the woodlouse picture below) although I think there is more chromatic aberration. More experiments are needed but I'm pleased with these shots as a starting point.

Common Raven (corvus corax)
This one was found in an unexpected place (for me anyway) It was foraging where a river met the sea, and appeared to be turning over rocks, looking for molluscs or crabs perhaps.
Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
This is the picture of the starling I've been looking for to show you! (I've got c. 20,000 photos I need to sort out 😅) Look at those colours!! Also note how the throat feathers prick up when they sing.
May I offer you a frog in these trying times?
European common frog (Rana temporaria)
Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
Seriously though, what right do starlings have to go around being so beautiful?
Common (European) starling (sturnus vulgaris)
European Nuthatch (sitta europaea)
Unfortunately, I was physically blocked from getting any closer for a better shot. I don't see many of these around.
Addendum: These photos look quite dark on my phone but look fine on my PC. I'll probably split the difference and re-upload.
Small Blue Butterfly (Cupido minimus)
The smallest butterfly resident to the UK. These are some handheld macro shots using a reversed 50mm lens on a D3500.
