                Spotted this fella hanging onto the stem of a Teasel while I was walking down the center path of the garden and he obliging stayed still while I went for the camera, swapped over the lens to a macro, and took a few shots. With one foot in the border and various tickley and prickly bits distracting me it wasn't easy!!:heehee:

                          There was a lot flying around today on my walk around Gore Heath down the road from here several Spotted Flycatchers, Willow Warblers Stonechats and six Dartford Warblers (one family of four!) but nothing would stay still enough for a pic except this female Whitethroat.

                              My walk around Gore Heath, yesterday, was on one side of the road, Morden Bog is on the other. I was on the wrong side as there were Osprey and Hobby sighted there.:wallbanging:
