This was the prettiest of just a few invertebrates I found and photographed on a quick rattle around the garden this morning, before going out for lunch with R. I do love a Hawthorn Shieldbug, and this one was displaying … Continued

I spent most of the day at my desk, doing financial updates and assembling the information I need to complete my tax return. This did not make me happy, and nor did the fact that every time I decided to … Continued

I didn’t have much time for photography this morning, because the Boy Wonder and his mother were due to arrive for a visit around lunch time. Rain, wind, and appalling light didn’t help the situation, and in the end I … Continued

A 5am start with the Boy Wonder today was pretty much exactly what I didn’t need, but I wanted his mother to get more rest, and figured I could always get more sleep myself after they’d gone back to Wales. … Continued

The temperature went back up by several degrees today, though it was still windy, and intermittently wet. R and I did some gardening this morning (eeeurgh), and then I scuttled around the garden after beetles and bugs, managing to find … Continued

This is a final instar Hawthorn Shieldbug nymph – a rather unexpected find in the garden today, given the date. I was a little worried when I spotted him, because he doesn’t have much time to complete his transformation to … Continued
