Gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
Oh to be a squirrel, hanging from a tree with the back legs, eating with the front.
It's very interesting to look at your wildlife pics. They mostly look like alt versions of what we have in Missouri. Except the starlings. We have those.... Are they horribly pesky at your birdfeeders too? Any tips to help keep them away and let the smaller birds eat?
Thanks, I enjoyed your photo's as well. Regarding the starlings, I can't help you there I'm sorry, the ones in my garden are fairly timid and are often bullied away by the sparrows. It's interesting to note the different behaviour.
It's that Canada goose (branta canadensis) time of year again here in Wales. HONK!
Common buzzard (buteo buteo)

Forest vibes. Near Tidenham, England.
European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
I know, I post a lot of Robins. This fine individual was very friendly and came within about 2 feet of me repeatedly. Didn't even seem to mind the shutter noise.
Slow worm (Anguis fragilis)
Status: Least Concern
A male Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) keeping an eye on the strange man with the camera.
Another White-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus Lucorum) for you.
Crab spider (Misumena vatia) This tiny spider was in a very awkward place and this was the best picture I could get. They are apparently colloquialy known as a White Death Spider, which seems a little dramatic as long as you aren't a bee or butterfly, as these spiders wait on flowers to ambush pollinators. This image was taken with a Nikon 40mm lens on a 12mm extension tube.
