Lovely photo`s Jacque,pleased to say we have a lot of butterflies here this year as well,and I was really chuffed to find some ladybirds today as well as they did seem to have deserted my garden since we removed an over grown conifer,anyway I found some in my Red Hot Pokers so maybe I`m forgiven now........

24 Aug, 2009

 

Sounds Great Lin :) Iv lots of Lady Birds 2 :)

24 Aug, 2009

 

I keep spotting them (ooohhh, sorry, a pun!) in strange places...I saw another one today in a curled up half-dead leaf!

24 Aug, 2009

 

LOL Spritz :) i think my Lady Birds have come from Cromer as they were invade by them about 4wks ago! :)

24 Aug, 2009

 

Oh, so that's where they've all been! On their holidays! lol.

24 Aug, 2009

 

LOL yes Spritz & Eatting Yummi Crabs 2 i bet lol :)

We saw a Peacock in our garden this week, apart from that its just been cabbage whites. Our (good) next door neighbours have a huge buddliea which attracts butterfly's but they have only had cabbage whites as well. strange about the Red Admiral isn't it?

24 Aug, 2009

 

Nice photos Jacque we have had loads of cabbage whites in our garden same as Ian digs.

24 Aug, 2009
