Moving bag



I was standing near my table unpacking something I had just bought.
Suddenly I noticed that the bag only table was moving...
I looked up, looking closer
The bag moved again a bit.
I looked inside the bag
and guess what?
The Fluff had crawled inside the bag for a good nap.

Ghost moth




Today, a for me unknown butterfly landed on a grass.
I never saw such a butterfly before and I thought it might be a kind of night-moth.
However he sat down in the sunshine and he was not hiding in the shadows.
I easily could come very close, he didn't seem to notice me at all.
So I was able to make photos from all sides.
I looked up his name: Ghost moth, (Hepialus humuli), (Hopwortelboorder).

Blue-tits almost done







Blue-tits are almost done.
One young is peaking out of the nestbox, looking out to see what's outside of the box.
Mother and father blue-tit flying to and fro with endless caterpillars and other insects.
So good to see a new breed, almost ready for flying.

Smallest of the smallest of the smallest

Today when I walked thru my garden, I noticed a small something flying away.
When I came closer, I saw it was a young baby wren.
He sat quietly almost unafraid.
So I ran into my house to get my camera out.
When I came back he still sat there on the same spot when I left.
I was able to come rather close.
The smallest of the smallest of the smallest!
My hero of the day!

Little Wren









Few days ago my tiny little bird friends came to the birdbath one after another.
Little wren and Goldcrest, both the smallest birds of all.
Even the Goldcrest is a little bit smaller than the wren.(I will make a post about him later)
I love these birds so much!
See how tiny little wren goes loose in the water, shaking all the dust off.

poppy




Last year I had beautiful poppy's growing in my garden.
Lots of last years seeds have come up everywhere now.
So now I have a harvest of beautiful poppy's coming out in pots and between the tiles.
Buds are so beautiful!
The greens of the leaves and the red hairs on the buds and stems!

Ant, heavyweight




When I was sitting outside in the sunshine,
I suddenly noticed a small crawly ant.
He was carrying a caterpillar 3 times its size!
Almost unbelievable that those tiny insects can carry such enormous weight.

Going deep

Going deep, in order to find the treasures of the deep.
