New Photographer

My younger brother, Jacob, will now be taking photos for spottersclub as he has recently shown an interest in photography & wildlife.

Splash! Splash!

We have a new visiter, that Joe in Y3 found, in our pond at home. We think it’s a kind of Newt but it is very small so it must be a baby. When things are babys you can’t really tell what kind of animal it is. We think it’s a smooth Newt. It is one of the most widespread and abundant amiphibians in Britain. (from the wildlife of Britain). They are largly nocternal so mostly come out at night!

Flutter Flutter

Tow months ago we got some Indian Luna Moths! We got them as small caterpillars and kept them in a plastic container. In their life cycle they start off red but then shed their skin and become green. These are called  Instars (stages not indoor stars!). The caterpillars eat hawthorn daily (and a lot of it) they grow to about the size of a sausage! After munching leaves for around 6 weeks then the caterpillar spins a cocoon and pupates for 2-3 weeks. Then they cut through the top of their cocoon and come out as a MOTH! First, in their life as a moth they hang up side down and pump their wings. Unfortunately when they turn into a moth they don’t have a mouth so they only live for about 10 days after that!

We also got some small tortioseshell butterflies.

The National Marine Aquarium

This week we went to the national  aquarium and we saw a lot of intresting, common and ugly fish, it was good day to be inside because it was raining any way. Here are some of the photos I took:

Teething troubles…{solved}!!!

Update:

The Posting Photos page has been revised again, I’ve solved the problem that was preventing images from showing up. it should be much easier for everyone now !

Thanks to all who’ve contributed so far, appologies to those who’ve tried adding photos to their comments using the original instructions I supplied- it didn’t work !!

Short story: I’ve had to add a plug-in  to make it possible for photos to be added to comments. I’ve updated the instructions on the Posting Photos page and it should work for everyone now !

Also : New instructions added for picasaweb and flickr users !

Photo Gallery

We have installled a photo gallery. If you want to add some photos of your finds, and you don’t already have a place to put your photos on-line, you can upload photos to our gallery. *Read this first*. We’ll need to set you up an account, then you can log-in, create a new album for yourself, and upload your photos.

If you can re-size your photos before uploading  [800px wide will be good] then we shouldn’t have any problems with filling up our server space!

email marcus@spottersclub.co.uk to request an account for the gallery, or if you need any help with posting pics from your own sources.
