christerb Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi, I have been visiting at local site recently. If the animal pics (at the end of this post) are a bit too off-topic, just let me know, and I'll remove them. Example of the habitat. Misc. Drosera 'Don't play with your food' Dactylorhiza sp. The animals Adder - Vipera berus Frog - Rana temporaria (or arvalis) Toad - Bufo bufo The tiny froglet cooperated much better than the other two during photography.

Guest Sheila Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Excellent pictures. I love the one of the rotundifolia leaves fighting over the crane fly The animal pictures are all part of the habitat so definitely not off topic.

Sweep Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 What lovely photographs, the first one looks like an impressionist painting, I also really enjoyed the animal shots. Gill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerb Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thanks, I uploaded, but managed to miss to include this spider which stopped me in the tracks while I was looking for plants. The biggest I have seen - more the 5 cm i diameter (incl. legs). I know that is nothing like what can be found in many other countries, but it's pretty big up here in the north. Dolomedes fimbriatus Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Spence Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Incredibly crisp & clear shots with a great depth of field. You could have moved the grass away from the snake to give us a better look though. We get similar looking spiders down here. The ones that I've seen live near rivers and creeks and are quite adept at running across the surface of the water. I don't mind the larger spiders, they are easier to see and avoid than most of the smaller ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Beautiful pictures - the froglet is all head! Raft Spiders are uncommon in the UK - really nice beasts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belinda Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Great Pics Love the pic of the adder Wish we had rotundifolia and anglia - much better than my local cps - IMO anyhow . Everybody always says how great we've got it for cps - but personally you guys have the edge over my part of Australia for cps ( NSW )- maybe not quantity but for quality IMO. Thanks for posting - beautifully coloured plants . Regards Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
