A chafer, is it? There are too many birds in my garden, beetles have little chance... A few visitors (when there's fruit and crumbs! sorry for the poor images, they're cheap camera zoom's fault):
Amazing that there are flocks of parakeets around England..........saw them a few years ago at brother-in-law's house.........thought I was imagining things at first
Sorry, Mary, I'm a bit far from UK (near São Paulo in Brazil), I should have said. Parakeets (here called 'maritacas') hardly come to the ground in the large and busy city here; a student of my sister who works in an office across us says it is hard to concentrate on her job when flocks of parakeets are munching on ipe blossoms in the street and shouting their heads off (don't ask me what they fancy about that!)
I expect they can be a huge nuisance DimWit - a bit like the street pigeons in cities over here! Pretty though Love that dragonfly wild edges. I remember very little about doing one of the Glen Etive hills some years ago - apart from the clouds of dragonflies lifting off as we walked across the open, boggy stretches of the lowers slopes. I took photos but you couldn't really appreciate the huge numbers I reckon that squirrel's been up to something and he's over compensating in trying to look casual.... or else he's having a pee up against that fence
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
