AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES WITH SNIPPET


I took these pictures on a glorious walk with Snippet. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!







Those ears!



Rolling in something unpleasant...





The ponies on the horizon







As the grasses die, they go all curly 

Please excuse the moment when I nearly fall over during this film.....




I photographed the following in a boggy pool close to home; firstly a Southern Migrant Hawker  Dragonfly laying its eggs.....



......and secondly a  keeled Skimmer Dragonfly resting after a session doing the same



I love the casual way this Crane Fly is hanging on to the sedge


When we got back to the garden I noticed the first edible Autumn Raspberry....a crop at last!


Regarding the unidentified caterpillar in the last post, thanks for your suggestions. Whilst searching the net for it before giving up, I came across a fantastic blog that I think many of you would really enjoy. Caroline's photos of wildlife put mine to shame and she correctly identified the caterpillar as that of a Fox Moth. Do have a look at:


And finally, have a good rest of the week until next time....
