I've finally sorted through the thousands of images and videos, of hundreds of species taken during a 3 week adventure in SE Asia. One stand out image for me so far, is of a couple of Fiery gem males during their non contact contest over territory. Not a sharp image by any means i know.

Now to work through and share some of the amazing things we saw during a trip of a lifetime. Our first nights wildlife wander was down by a stream where we had an amazing snake encounter. youtu.be/EW8tHPskIUo #Khaosok #Thailand #snakes

I first saw this small 'swarm' of Honey bees on this headstone a week ago whilst looking for a Badger sett. Last night whilst releasing a rescue Badger cub at the site we noticed that the 'swarm' now had settled status.

In the safety of darkness the beaver kits have started to come out on a regular base, still staying close to either their parents or siblings. The adults and 1 year olds are busy bringing branches close to the lodge so the youngsters have lots to nibble on. youtu.be/ou_tgqddtjM

Noble False Widow spider , Steatoda nobilis, predating a wasp that had got itself trapped in its web, biting and injecting the wasp with its venom to paralyse and eventually kill the wasp. #UKWildlife , #UKNature, #Invertebrates , #Stings'NWings , #Arachnophiles , #Macros youtu.be/NdC-XzMvREw

While doing some kick samples in the stream outside we found all kind of aquatic larvae. Beside Caddisfly and Mayfly larvae we also had many of these which are Alderfly larvae. #UKWildlife, #UKNature, #Invertebrates, #Insect, #Alderfly youtu.be/t9Q3vsDIlsg

We gave the Vale of Taunton & Banwell Harriers a shock today, when we showed up alongside Somerset Sabs. In between crying about trespass and the drone, Wayne ‘Wingnut’ Gregory found time to beat the hounds, whilst Ross Cordery beat his horse. 01/03

A fierce predator, it feeds on small invertebrates such as insects and spiders. It is nocturnal, using its venomous front legs (forcipules) to paralyze prey. #UKWildlife, #UKNature, #Invertebrates, #Macros, #Wildlife, #Nature youtu.be/Do4XqSveGH4

The Latin species name olens, meaning "smelling", refers to the two white stinking glands on the abdomen. This beetle has been associated with the Devil since the Middle Ages, hence its common name, which has been used at least since 1840. youtu.be/-Q_Si61YiNE

Looking through the leaf litter, under rocks and roots in the woods we found a scorpion! Well, not a real one with a venomous sting , but a Pseudoscorpion. #UKWildlife, #Wildlife, #Invertebrates , #Arachnophiles, #Macros youtu.be/_qSg9c3FJA0

Winter in the UK usually means lots of rain -which creates puddles.For most people it just means trying to avoid stepping into them to not get wet feed.But puddles r also full of live.Here r some of the weird and wonderful inhabitants of a puddle next to a stream close to us. youtu.be/GEI5JVE1f_4

A little session in a temporary pool by the stream early tonight looking at very small things. #freshwater #habitats #cyclops #UKwildlife #nature

Other incredible find was a minute transparent green thing which wasn't visible to the naked eye, the previous one wasn't either. The green organism has a contracting trunk which supports 6 tentacles. This is a Green Hydra. #UkNature #BBCWinterwatch #UKwildlife #Aquaticlife #hydrozoans
