Really like the muted tones in this ^ 
'ages' = 1/100th of a sec?
Great photo's everyone, I spent Saturday at Colchester Zoo so should have a few new ones to add soon.

Lovely shot (as are all the rest you posted) but I'd say that the white flowers were Wild Garlic rather than Daisies.
A squirrel.

Sorry to say they don't look anything much like wild garlic, but it's not a daisy either. Fairly sure they're greater stichwort flowers, quite pretty and fairly common Japveesix said:

Ok, zoo photo's are going to have to take a back seat for a couple of days - look who I found today!

And along with the two sows were nine piglets.

WOW!
they roam the woods here but have never seen one, isn't it unusual for them to be out during the day?
incredible captures
Thanks.they roam the woods here but have never seen one, isn't it unusual for them to be out during the day?

We get fairly regular glimpses of them here but this was by far the best encounter we've had since we moved down here last year. The two sows came within about two feet when we had our first contact with them today, checking us out to make sure we were not a threat. Once they'd done that they allowed the piglets to come closer to us as well, a couple of them ending up within about five feet of me. All in all it was an amazing encounter.

Sorry guys you're both wrong, its Field Mouse-ear (Cerastium arvense) sometimes also called Starflower.
That looks a good call to me. 
. Would also expect stitchwort to be flowering now and in that habitat. Mouse-ear would be later flowering (though not much) and different habitat.Lovely boar pics by the way Mike, glad you're getting more good sightings. Might have to come back over that way and try again at some point, they do make great subjects

C&C on perfection? You always amaze me with how you produce these shots.
