Holly Blue

After a week of gallivanting up hill, over moor and heath and through forest it was pleasant to just sit in the garden during warm and sunny weather. However it wasn't long before one or two interesting specimens hove into sight. First up, a Holly Blue, a female I think, apparently looking for some suitable egg laying sites.

 







 
 The pond has its usual quota of  Damsel Flies and an Azure Blue posed obligingly.



Other finds were a Soldier Fly ....



... a shield bug, Coreus marginatus decided that the fresh laundry was a reasonable place to take in the sun...



...finally a Speckled Bush Cricket, of which our garden has many, also posed in the warm sunshine.
