A (lady)bird in the hand is worth three on the list

An impressive handful of ladybirds scooped up by Simon Gillings today: Cream-streaked, Eyed, 10-spot and Pine (from top left to top right, the latter not new). Nice one Simon!

Sunshine....

....but no butterflies during 10 mins lunchbreak in the Nunnery grounds. However, five inverts to get me going: Seven-spot Ladybird, Honey Bee, Drone-fly (Eristalis tenax, check those legs!), Great Pond Snail and Great Ramshorn Snail.
