Good afternoon
I was recently given a card by a member of the network so decided to join and find out what it is all about.
Member of The Royal Photographic Society London South East micro group and a keen amateur photographer.

My name is Steve, after chatting with Julia I decided to jump aboard even though I’m from outside London. Not by far though as I live in Benfleet.
My interest is mostly Sports and Wildlife of any sort.
I’m looking forward to attending some of the upcoming events when time permits. Hopefully starting with Bushy Park.

It nests like most solitary bees or wasp in this case, at one stage I lost sight of it and then I noticed it crawling out of the top of a bamboo pole. I then found out that they live in small holes in wood or in places like bug hotels. Also I knew it was Mexican ( here comes a Peter joke) because it had a sombrero on its head. Sorry.

It did look a little bit strange, because it looks like it’s wearing one of those wrestling masks they sometimes use in south America Mexico for example 😂

I think this Bee, captured in flight at Eltham Palace gardens last week, is a Large Meadow Mining Bee (Adrena labialis), but I'm not 100% certain. Can anyone confirm, or correct my ID if I'm wrong?

Did anyone else at the Willows Birds of Prey field trip yesterday clock the name of this raptor? We were told, and I think the word 'grey' may have appeared somewhere in the common name, but I can't recall the rest of the name.
My pleasure Barrie, because of the grey frontage of the feathers it was a little bit difficult to get a good result and with a lot of these birds a lot of them have a very similar colour frontage, however we got there in the end 😀.

Costa Rica has something approaching a thousand species of birds.
Can you help identify this one - spotted at La Selva Research Station ?

Whilst not my best quality shot it may be of interest to some. Anhingas are in the darter family, Anhingidae. Like other darters, anhingas hunt by spearing fishes and other small prey with their sharp, slender beaks. Because anhingas' feathers have an unique shape, their feathers become waterlogged when submerged in water, making it difficult for them to stay afloat. However, their waterlogged feathers allow them to dive easily and search for underwater prey, such as fish and amphibians. Anhingas can stay underwater for substantial periods of time.
Nice to see you here Steve and I look forward to meeting you soon and seeing your images !
