Over 25,000 of your photos have been added to the since we opened it again this year!

Here just a few of the the latest additions that have caught the Autumnwatch team's eye.

Our Management Menagerie adored thisÌýrobin portrait. We suspect that the strange feathering on the chest might be the result of a dispute with another male over territory. Robins can be surprisingly aggressive! It’s a beautiful depiction of the contrast of that red breast against the foliage. The breast being a bright warning or indeed attractant to other robins.

These cooler months areÌýthe best time of year for tree planting and with all this talkÌýof leaf fall it’s easy to forget that the leaf litter is host to new life. This shot really reminds us of the emerging wonders that such dull-looking seeds have in store.

This bright, colourful shot caught webmistressÌýSam’sÌýattention. areÌýone of her favourite birds and this male munching on berries is an autumnal delight.Ìý

We loved this shot for taking us down to the level of these miniature mushrooms. These wonderful inkcaps look magical on the forest floor and really live up to their name.

Our birding buffs are big avocet fans, especially since our Pensthorpe avocet family were such starsÌýduring Springwatch. This shot is a perfect portrait of a wader and the reflection really emphasises the characteristic curve of the unique bill.

We’ve had hundreds of Ìýsent into the group but this one caught our eye for its unique angle showing off these spectacular antlers.

Researcher Becky has had some lovely big house spiders visiting her recently. The depth of field around those hairy, spindly legs makes this capture a favourite.

Researcher Ruth was excited to see this beautiful bank vole. They can sometimes be seen below your birdfeeders nibbling on nuts that have fallen from above. They are well camouflaged and very shy so difficult to spot andÌýeven harder to photograph.
