Had a few flying bugs about in a brief spell of sunshine the other day. A bluebottle feeding feeding on some sugar/honey syrup on a camellia bush.

    Brian,

    I like the textures and details.

    We are getting some sunshine but with strong winds.

    We have another frost this morning.

    I find a lot of species of moss in strong growth but none with reproductive structures at present. I should go in search of lichens.

    Thanks Harold for the comments.
    Yes we have had a few frosts now. If the sun stays out it normally means I'll find some flies/hoverflies about around noon.
