British Wildlife Centre – Part VI

ByDawn

Time for the final part of my British Wildlife Centre series – Britain’s smallest rodent – the Harvest Mouse.

This youngster was so tiny, and yet was completely unfazed by the group of photographers surrounding him.

Really pleased with these images, quite possibly my favourites from the day. It was fascinating to watch these little creatures as they posed for the cameras. What must the world look like from a Harvest Mouse’s perspective?!

If you’d like to visit the British Wildlife Centre and get up close and personal with some fantastic native wildlife – take a look at their website for more information: http://www.britishwildlifecentre.co.uk/

I just want to say a really big thank you to two special people for our visit to the BWC – you know who you are – we really enjoyed it! – Thank you!

    What a privilege to have this bird visiting the garden. He was still around this weekend, and really feeding up before his long flight south. The slightly better weather meant I could get some more photos, although I’m yet to catch him in the sun. It’s not going to be long before he departs, but…

    I was hoping for a Summer full of Turtle doves, but sightings have been few and far between. They are in real trouble, last years wet Summer meant a disastrous breeding season for them, and numbers are very low this year. Conservationists are concerned that this year could see the lowest numbers of Turtle doves…

    Hello! Yes I’m back! Firstly I must apologise for my prolonged absence. The past few months have been incredibly hectic, and sadly I’ve had no time for photography. You see, on the 15th September, I married my partner of 10 years and love of my life Drew Mellowship. We had a truly wonderful day and…

    Not had much time for photography of late, which is a shame as there is so much to photograph! This interesting creature is a Forest Shieldbug, which hitched a ride on the outside of my car. When we arrived home he flew off onto the wooden fence, against which he was quite well camouflaged. I…

  • Autumn

    The golden season. Hedgerows heavy with fruits lead me to the earthy scented forest. Fungi, like this Fly Agaric push through the dark, damp soil. A Jay flies overhead with a beak full of acorns, and a Squirrel scampers up a tree to watch me walk by. Away from the forest into the open parkland…
