What is it?

Not the best image I know, but if I opened the doors it would fly off.

Distinguishing feature is the brown head (with a black mohican on top)

This one might be easier to name.

SWMBO and myself were up at the Cromarty Firth on Thursday watching the dolphins feeding in the bay as the tide brought the shoals of fish into the bay, rubbish capture in the rain

[RimaNTSS]

If this is an Eastender than yes. Or maybe Eastenders are those creatures? I feel sorry about them But that is still Nature

Last year we had a relative plague of RATS, but apparently very few this year (neighbours' cats got quite a few, as did the road traffic!) as urban foxes appear to have set up a den in almost the same place as the rats previously did, and seem to have nearly eliminated the rats!
Rats v Foxes? - I can live with the former (we get quite a few holes in the flower beds, but those are "less of an issue"!), but the cats may feel differently as the foxes certainly can pose problems to them (as at least one of our's - now sadly deceased - nearly found out until SWMBO scared it away!)

Is that a False Widow?

Is that a False Widow?

No, it's an Orb Weaver by the look of it. False Widows have hairless legs, are darker and to my knowledge don't weave that type of structured web.

 

[PaulR]

Whatever, it's a beauty.

Apparently no invertebrate animals can see the actual infrared light.
