Spotty Bugs
Black and White are the in colours for these Ladybirds and this pretty moth
| |
|
Bugs galore!
We found loads of these colourful bugs all over the passion flower.

 |
Spiders
I snapped these dew covered webs during an early morning fishing trip
 |
 |
This stripy yellow spider was very pretty but quite scary too!
Fast Little Lizards
 |
 |
Caterpillar or Snake?
This is the huge caterpillar of the Elephant Hawk Moth!
I found this one down by the lake.
One day it will turn into this pretty moth
Frogs – Big and Small . .. .

 |
I love them all!

Gone Fishing!
 |
First catch of the year! A nice little roach. |
| Last catch of the year! Mum’s beautiful carp |  |
All with a little help from Tobi, the resident fishing expert |
 |
 |
We also saw . . . (But weren’t quick enough to take photos ourselves) A young deer seen leaping across the field |
| A colourful kingfisher seen darting across the lake to its nest |  |
 |
A hedgehog, found snuffling around under the passionflower at night |
| A grey heron seen dropping in to look for a tasty meal. |  |
 |
A wetland coypu seen running across the field and again fishing in the lake |
| A common buzzard often seen and heard in the skies over the lake |  |
We’ll be back next year to see what else we can find!
