... Or maybe go for mushrooms

Recently we have fairly frequent rain and slightly cooler. The appropriate time for mushrooms in the woods. For several years we have had dry summers and autumns and mushrooms in the forest was not. When it is humid in the forest smells of resin, flowers and mushrooms .... Even when there is not too much of them in the woods, it is nice to walk around and observe the surroundings. Can be something interesting to photograph eg. A butterfly, beetle or other insect, and of course mushrooms. This time the trip was a lot of mushrooms and a lot of fun and some pictures.

Ants and anthills

Who has not seen the forest anthill? They are sometimes large in size. That such is in the nearby woods. What's more around it is just a few meters five smaller. I do not know why the ant liking this particular place. In this forest there are other ant hill, but not so impressive. The area around the anthills is cleared to the sand and there is no plants or insects. Because often visit the forest and at any time of the year, I see it as anthills team is constantly growing. I do not know when it will end. So a large number of ants needs more food, so he must wander farther away from his place of residence. Photos anthills are not too attractive, but rather are documentaries. Individual ants are common objects in macro and happen interesting effects.

speckled wood

My next butterfly is a speckled wood (Pararge aegeria). Modestly is colored, but has a nice pattern on the wings. It is not difficult genre to determine. You can meet him frequently on the edge of a forest on forest roads and is quite easy to photograph. Of course, the picture quality does not depend on the butterfly, and only from the photographer. This year, it seems to me that is quite numerous. Here are the pictures of this butterfly family (Nymphalidae).

tiny and beautiful

Next butterfly to me is very nice. It is scarce copper (Lycaena virgaureae). The bright red color results in that, despite the small size is visible from a distance. Fly like the wandering flame on a green background. If you try to wait patiently always squat somewhere and be photographed. For several years, I meet this genre and always doing him a picture. I usually males of the species. This one met in the forest before noon.

it was yesterday

It was yesterday or the day before. I published a photo of a new butterfly to my collection, and today the next. Small and slight, but has a beautiful color and pattern on the wings. And of course, allowed to photograph what the butterfly is not so obvious. How many times I watched the magnificent butterfly, which in no way could be photographed. Although I have in this area have some experience, getting good pictures is not easy. Windy weather makes it very difficult job, and even impossible. When it is cloudy, the rain does not meet butterflies. Here's my next butterfly Common copper (Lycaena phlaeas)

new species to my collection

Yesterday, after heavy rains during the week we went to the forest to pick mushrooms. I took a camera. We have found in the woods a lot of young brown ring boletus, several field and birch bolete mushroom. In many places, I met many butterflies. Despite the fact that the equipment was not adequate and there was a lot of time, I managed to take pictures of some of them. To begin with, a new species of butterfly to my collection, this pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria Euphrosyne). In the next post I will present next.

patient mom

The workers during the renovation of a historic wooden villa discovered a bird's nest. He was in the 4 eggs. They could not identify the species of birds. To paint the place where there were a nest moved them close, and after completion of the work put again on the same spot. Already the next day noticed that birds do not nest abandoned and the next day were already chicks. According to reports from workers I guessed that this is the spotted flycatcher. The next day I went to the balcony, which was located nearby and I made some pictures. The birds were quite cautious and I tried not to disturb them in feeding the young.
