This was like a mini version of cranesbill, I think it might be Hedgegrow Cranesbill?








I have seen swarms of these beasties this Summer. They look like St Marks flies but have red top half to their legs.








I finally got one of these little white moths to stay still.









I thought that this clover was very pretty.









I wondered why I had taken another photo of this flower but then spotted the lovely white butterfly on it.

A close up crane fly.









More beautiful rainy jewels.










A favourite small tortoiseshell butterfly on buddlea








A new one for me small copper.










A beautiful harebell and tiny white flower (what's this one called? Is it eyebright?)

Pretty snail flowers!!!









Are these red currants?











a red admiral







doubly prickly thistle!!!









This mute swan didn't see me hiding behind the tree :-)

Well here you go then Stephen, a buttercup for you with a ringlet butterfly.








Another buttercup on a white granite stone.









Beastie on big daisy flower.











Look at this lovely wee frog that I found.







This Dunnock looked just perfect and at home beside the bonsai tree.

I caught a grasshopper :-)

This lacewing sat on the road for me!

I was so pleased to see this beautiful butterfly and EVENTUALLY managed to get a photo.

A big beastie when close up.

Isn't this a beautiful moth. It's amazing how beautiful insects are when you look close, the things we humans miss.

And here it is the sawfly, Rhogogaster viridis
