    A lovely sunny day today saw a multitude of insects coming out to bask in the warmth; I saw Peacock, Speckled Wood, Cabbage White & Brimstone butterflies, Hoverflies, dozens of Ladybirds, Shield Bugs, Spiders, Bees, Wasps.....my back garden was quite simply buzzing with activity. Here's a few shots I managed to get;

            Hi Jenny, I use an Olympus sp350, it's a compact camera with 8mp and dozens and dozens of settings, both automatic and manual. It also has a great macro setting (up to 2cm) and quite a fast shutter speed for a compact, I've been using it for 7 or 8 years and am very happy with it...:dbgrtmb:
