Island Creatures Part 3

Instead of dog walking I've taken to running with the dog (second week in) and this means I leave the camera at home. However that doesn't mean I've stopped seeing the local wildlife, the variation of which has come to surprise me recently! I still see the usual magpies, herons, buzzards etc but most of the following I'd never knowingly seen in the wild before (as stated before no photos below belong to me):

Naranza and the Terrible Lizards

The Naranza (Venetian for Orange) hairband was made as a gift and is a combination of similar feathers that I've used before, the orange/black tipped feathers being the main interest. Another gift was my first pair of earrings where I used the nostalgic (for me) plastic dinosaurs that I've previously featured on a hairband.

Island Creatures - Part 2

Since the last post I've been out walking the same areas once again. This time I stumbled across the charismatic red squirrels (5 of them!), a kestrel and a couple of buzzards.
