I never got as far as the canal so the bushes in the neighbourhood were once again my hunting ground. Ladybirds seem to be in season at the moment and this fellow caught my eye due to his red spots on a black shell, the reverse of what we usually expect. I wonder if this [...]

Working in an office when we have rare nice weather like we’ve had this week is a pain, but at least it means I can get out during lunch and take a few piccies. Unfortunately the canal area where I usually prowl for viable subjects has been closed due to vandalism – how do you [...]

From the moment I arrived in work this morning people have been saying that today will be the last day of the good weather, so with that information in hand I obviously had to get back down to the canal during my lunch break and take some photos. There were more bugs out to play [...]
