      Probably Pyrrhosoma nymphula.
      Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
      By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
      While better men than we go out and start their working lives
      At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

            Did he have big 'rowing' legs? As it's not in the water, and is stripy, I thought he was more likely a chafer beetle

              This little fella came to visit last night and was quite nosey, coming right up to the back door and peering in.
              Apologies for the graininess, I had to take it through the glass

                  We have a blackbird that sings his own tune, then finishes with a trim phone ring. If you can remember what one sounds like...have a listen.

                        Nothing new, but we've had an incredible amount of ladybirds this year. Doing a good job too!

                            The frog I haven't seen since last summer hopped out from between my flower tubs when I watered them this evening. She's bigger than last year, but not 2ft high....yet....

                              I had a scarlet tiger moth in the garden on Monday for about an hour - really lovely.
