Common Kingfisher270 viewsI had dialled in +2 EV to photograph the Kingfisher perched high in a Hawthorn when it suddenly dived down & caught itself a fish so I grabbed a couple of horribly overexposed photos @ Marton Mere Nature Reserve Blackpool (100% crop)

Great Spotted Woodpeckers331 viewsThis could've been a terrific Woodpecker photograph, but is ruined by the quite severe Chromatic aberration that my Tokina 400mm lens suffers from in high contrast conditions like this.

Yellow Dung Fly183 viewsThis Dung Fly appears to have been a victim of Entomophthora muscae fungus, which, "once the fungus is inside the fly it grows into the brain, causing a change in behavior.
Instead of acting normally, the fly crawls as high as possible on the branch, flower, stem or leaf it is on, spreads out its legs, stretches opens its wings and angles the abdomen away from the surface. This position improves the chances of the fungal spores leaving the dead fly and infecting new hosts"
