    I checked earlier. It had moved a little bit, so I took it off the tissue and put on the table to keep it safe while it recovers - I hope.

          The bee had gone half hour after I put it on the table. It was crawling slowly but must have been able to fly. I searched the patio around the table but didn't see it.

                Sort of "flying" - a greater water boatman, I think now called "backswimmers", because of the confusion caused by the Americans....

                I've never seen one before, and was seriously "wowed" when I spotted it in the shallows of the pond yesterday evening!!

                  ....been up again this morning, and managed to get a photo.

                  At least now I know why all the tiddler goldfish were swimming in the deep water, rather than the shallows!

                            After just getting a glimpse of a Nightjar on the heath, the Little Owl showed itself but at 9.45 it was too dark for a decent shot .

                              Back to Holton Lee early this morning to see the Owl which didn't show itself but strangely I saw four 'green' birds in an hour.
                              Greenfinch.
