    Great images, not least for the setting.

    Yesterday, I got the first full view of a jumper, a striped one, in my garden since we moved in 17 years ago. I was gardening and didn't have my camera to hand. Now I know where to look.

    Thanks for the comments Harold.
    You can often find them hunting on sunny house walls.

    Yes, I have done this at previous houses but have yet to see any here.

    It was there again today, the common black and white striped species, in the brief sunshine. So I am in with a chance. The bad news is that it is on rhubarb leaves, problematic for approach and framing. I got a shot, technically, but no hope of posting it.
