Nipped over in the gradually improving weather to see plenty of F15 Cs and Es in the circuit!

Enjoy

Was this yasterday?
:-o

I went there too, only we spent the afternoon at Lakenheath fen (looked really busy from there, they approach right over the reserve, we lost count of how many went in/out). Then went to the veiwing area about 5ish and saw the C-17 land

Do have pics but mine are rubbish, your's aren't

So you went to a wildlife reserve to see EAGLEs! :-o

The veiwing area is at the wrong end for yesterdays approaches, I went for a long walk at the other end!

Yep

Sorry, couldn't resist that =))

And Bugs

Bees

And balls

These were taken at the fen, so a good few miles away

And these from the viewing area. I don't really mind the sun, and we'd already walked 3 miles =))

Yeah yeah I know it's sloping

I'm really sorry for hyjacking your thread =))

Carry on Helen, we are an easy going bunch on here, well most of us!

What is the BUG, James found one today and we have also seen them in Green and GOLD stripes?

by **Mackrick** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 5:27 pm

Nice ones Helen thanks :ymapplause:

by **Hihonyr8811** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 5:40 pm

Thanks

That bug I'm not 100% about, it could be Picromerus bidens but the problem is there are hundreds of the blumming things :))

They're mostly of the shield bug family

Green ones could be Palomena prasina (Common Green Shield Bug)

Lovely littly things, I just rescued one from our garden wheelie bin

by **Xplumberlives** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 5:44 pm

Helen, I think it might be Coreus Marginatus but as you say they are all part of the Shield Bug Family!

by **Saracenman** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 5:46 pm

Creepius Crawlus, of the Buggus Shieldus variety?

Of course, as you are closer to the ground you will be more familiar with the low life down there!

Ooooo very pretty, the nymphs look so cute =))

Why can't we have a few F15s' fly down South to visit sunny Bournemouth ? (Or maybe appear at next years Air Festival... now THAT would be nice

).
