Despite the gray and damp weather, there was plenty to photograph today. Well the first photo was taken last night (but who's counting) 😉
Young newt, still with its gills
Peacock Butterfly seen at lunchtime
The squirrels were also out and about
There are several more photos of the wood mouse from tonight in The Wood Mouse Files. The greedy little thing was being ultra co-operative tonight. All the mouse shots from today are full frame, no cropping and taken from a matter of inches away. I just hope the cat doesn't buy a camera!

Outstanding photos!
Another marvellous collection, and I doubt I'm the only one who tried to count all eight of the spider's eyes after your comment on that picture! 😆
That's another brilliant spider shot. She does have 8 eyes fwiw.
I like the amber colours of this girl. It's a pleasing mix of textures and smooth surfaces.
Beautiful photos:D i like the Mouse and Spider the best ones well done.
The Butterfly is nice to see in October:)
Man! How did you do that? Mouse is really great :up:
Thanks!
I couldn't quite get a perfect angle on the spider, but one day…. all 8 eyes, eye-to-eye :eyes:
Brendan – she's a great colour isn't she. There are a couple others quite similar out in the garden, but she stands out.
As for the mouse, well it's really cute. Sometimes it runs off, but if I can get in close enough it seems ok about staying put while the flash goes off. It must be getting quite used to me by now.
Peek-a-boo 😆 I'd say he's willing to put up with quite a bit for those peanuts.
Mickeyjoe, he's fine if I can get in close enough without startling him. It's noise more than anything that sends him scurrying. If I shift my weight and step on a leaf or twig he tends to scoot.
