My Nosey Neighbour
I bumped into this visitor behind our garden shed. The female fox and I were both taken aback and froze but I was captivated by her beautiful eyes and managed to reach my phone in my pocket and grabbed my chance. She has become a regular visitor from the wild garden next door and I later discovered she had produced five cubs. (Credit: Margaret Collins)

Aphid Overdose
I wanted to take the photo of this ladybird and then the aphids intervened, squirming away to avoid being eaten, no wonder he/she was static, aphid overdose…… Can’t hold the camera as steadily as I would like , so I have to locate stationary subjects as far as possible, this ladybird was so full of aphids he/she could not move, so my ideal subject.

Preening Heron
This picture shows one of Chiswick Houses’s resident herons. In is not uncommon to see these birds around the area, standing dead still fas they await for a passing snack, but it’s unusual to see them looking imperfect. (Credit – Luca Wiseman 10-16yrs)
