LADYBIRD RESCUED FROM THE POND TODAY.

Well rescued!

I FOUND SOME BLACKFLY ON THE ACER SO THAT'S WHERE I PUT THE LADYBIRD KAREN.

Good save!! Well placed too!

Well done-I hope it will find enough to eat at this time of year!

HI KATE AND STERRA. I SEARCHED FOR FOOD FOR THE LADYBIRD AND THE ONLY BLACKFLY I FOUND WERE ON THE ACER. WE SAT IN THE GARDEN YESTERDAY AS IT WAS SUCH A LOVELY DAY.

I’ve noticed that too, Linda. The acers have a lot of black fly on...
Good to hear you were in the garden getting some fresh air..

A welcome sight.

HI KATE AT LEAST THE LITTLE BIRDS WILL HOPEFULLY EAT THE BLACKFLY AND ANY EARLY WASPS. SEEN QUITE A FEW BEES AND A BUTTERFLY.

THANKS FERN

Good on you......

Yes, here’s hoping, Linda. I’ve started to see the odd bee buzzing about too..love the sound in the garden.

I guess the ladybird is better at finding aphids etc than we are - a bit of aerial reconnaissance can come in handy!

THANKS BOTH OF YOU. THE SUN IS BEGINNING TO RISE AND THERE ARE SOME CLOUDS AROUND BUT THE BLACKBIRD IS ALERT AND SINGING ON THE CHERRY TREE NEXT DOOR.

TODAY I NOTICED THE BLUE TITS EATING THE BLACKFLY....GOOD....
