I'll need to be quick with a camera to catch those cheeky squirrels that are invading the hazel tree at the moment and dropping nutshells on the track.

Hopefully we can all see more photos in due course. Do you have a mobile phone, I always keep mine on me, even though I miss a lot with them moving on or they don't turn out. You will at some point get a great photo, even if it may not be completely in focus.

Like I said "It's not a competition" just something to enjoy...

Agree there Greg...

Of all the beautiful birds, butterflies, rabbits and foxes etc. which I know we have in our garden, I either don't see them at all or haven't got a suitable camera with me at the time.
So.... some of the things I can photograph are attached....
Firstly, something not quite so beautiful, but nonetheless crucially important to have around in the garden, the Earthworm.... This one is about ten inches long and temporarily removed from its preferred spot on the wet grass for a decent picture to be taken. (Returned immediately afterwards).
Next is a creature I have yet to be convinced is useful in any garden. The Slug......
This particular one was selected at random from an invasion by a Slug army, all attempting to travel from a boggy area near the stream and heading in the general direction of Diane's vegetable patch! This happens each year at this time, then after a few days we don't see them again.

That worm is somehow beautiful in its own way Peter, the slug however..........
