Re: Recent photos, some with Identification requests please

These are some random photos I have taken recently and not posted anywhere yet. I don't know what some of them are so any help would be much appreciated.

I worked out that patience is required when uploading photos. You need to click Browse, then Open your photo and wait for it to change from Italics to normal text while it uploads, then you can click Upload

Common Whitethroat?

Brimstone Butterfly

Dragonfly some sort of Chaser??

Cuckoo

?? Could this be a Nightingale? It had a beautiful song

Robin

And a few from my garden:

Baby Goldfinch

Baby Great Tit who thought he was having a bath on the edge of the bird bath while not actually in any water

Baby Starling

Blackbird

Great Spotted Woodpecker

Morning Chris,

Are you sure your great tit wasn't a teenager, 'Yes, mum I am taking a shower'.

Beautiful Brimstone, the dragon looks like a female Four-spotted Chaser, I am not the greatest at birds but that def. looks like a nightingale :)  

Your garden looks full of babies.

Lovely pics

Hi Caroline,

Thank you for your reply. One reply all day is a little different to how it used to be. Still it's progress

What beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing.

I have at least one pair of goldfinches who regualrly visit my garden but I've yet to see any fledglings. I am playing host to three rotund fledgling starlings though which keep me very entertained.

I'm looking forward to seeing more soon and will try to havemy camera poised..

Heya Chris, yes everyone is a bit preoccupied.

Looks like nightingale to me, some thing I've not seen, have you checked the song to see if it matches?

Hi mpiekp

Yes I know me too LOL

I have never seen or heard a Nightingale before, so I don't know. I can't remember if it was exactly the same.

hi chris looks like n-gale to me, saw/heard my first just recently myself. great pics by the way, paul.

The Dragonfly is a Broad bodied chaser

Hi there,

Lovely photos! The dragon is a Broad-bodied Chaser, probably an immature male (the sexes are the same colour when fresh, the male then gradually attains a light blue abdomen). The mystery bird is not a Nightingale but a Garden Warbler.

Hi aiki

Thank you for the identifications, and the kind words. A Broad-bodied Chaser and a Garden Warbler they are then. :-))

Lovely photos i like the thought of the great tit thinking it was having a bath lol. Link below for you Woodpecker to listen to the nightingale if you haven't already heard it or for anyone else to listen to:)

Thanks Sue

That little Great Tit kept having a go at a bath without getting itself wet. I just couldn't stop watching it because I felt sure that it would eventually go into the water and it never did. LOL

Now I have listened to Garden Warbler and Nightingale, it was definitely a GW.

Woodpecker,lovely set of pictures,brightened the morning up.
