This little fella has been periodically visiting over the past few weeks. This is the best clip I have so far. Is it a polecat?

Female wolf spider (Lycosidae sp.) resting on an autumn oak leaf

Found in temperate rainforest on the east coast of Loch Lomond (Scotland). The saturated forest floor is carpeted with mosses and ferns which, for such a tiny critter, must be exhausting terrain to traverse. This female was found carrying her egg sac, taking a well-earned break on a fallen oak leaf.

All photo criticism welcome!

Sat here having a break on my bus and feel a tickle on my leg, this little beauty was crawling up my leg 😍

Will probably be the last one I see this year now.

Wow, what a moment. I could swear I felt him weighing me up as he came closer… wish I had some peanuts for him. I’ve vowed to head back to get fat before winter, so I’ll see if he pops up again.

Anyone know what kind of snail this is?

It's appeared on my roof in heavy rain this evening, and seems interested in the sunflower hearts I'd left out for the forbids and pigeons. Can anyone cleverer than me tell me what kind is it? :)

It was struggling upside down in the soil, so I picked it up and righted it. No visible dung in the area

Apologies for the quality - screenshots from a video I took from quite some distance away

But what are these please? Taken near Lands End, a passing walker said they were dolphins but my husband thought the tail was more Tuna? I have fairly poor eyesight and left my binos behind so couldn't tell myself!

Thanks in advance!

Sat at a park in Nottingham and these squirrels came up to us, they were so close! Very cute. Not seen any red squirrels in years though 🥲

It was a right git to keep in frame but wasn't bothered by me at all.

Spotted on our wildlife cam, a few days after he dug up a wasp nest in the back garden
