Wildlife

I have always been passionate about wildlife and conservation and when not photographing people I can often be found out in the countryside and on nature reserves. Though we have of course lost species, we are lucky to still have such a diversity of birds, butterflies and insects in the British countryside. Many species are still under threat, but it is heartening to have met so many like minded people when out and about photographing the natural world.

Nettle Weevils

nettle-weevil84

I have really started to notice the Weevils at North Cave Wetlands in particular. They seem quite widespread mainly on nettles in unimproved locations, though there are many similar looking species.  I believe the Weevils here to be Phyllobius, either Pomaceus or Argentatus. I do enjoy a Weevil. The Weevils will be larger in the summer so I will keep an eye on them!
