Ladybirds huddled together in a hole in stonework
Wandering around the Grounds of Wentworth Woodhouse yesterday and the monumental show-off folly of the "Eye of the Needle" had several clusters on the sunny side

"almost" no clouds, surely not the Dunedin we know and love!
Here in Sheffield we have sleet, the weather is really making up for the dry spring and summer last year.

Ipf in the snow
Visited Ipf a few years ago. It has ridge and furrow on the lower slopes! The photograph was taken by an old friend of Derrick Riley the aerial photographer who I used to know in Sheffield quite a few years ago now

Went to Wismar a few years ago and suddenly realised that we were visiting most of the outdoor scenes in "Nosferatu"!
Some of the scenes in the original series must be historical documents in themselves--small cattle farms using old buildings that have been amalgamated into larger farms now.

Thought it might have been:- photographed a bittern in flight there earlier in the year.
In contrast the Moss valley, just south of Sheffield, had very few.
