    Glad you like that @HouseFinch. I wasn't quick enough to get a pic. He was so tiny I'm not sure how easy it would have been anyway!
    That stuff is widely used by walkers, for 'the Scottish midge' @B3, and is highly regarded.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    We have got off pretty lightly this year, until recently. Thought the savage heatwave had killed them off - during it was fishing out hundreds of wasps from the pool skimmers so their population took a big hit. Sadly the tiger mosquitos were just biding their time 😠 

    Pyramid Trek Ultra has taken over from jungle formula as the repellent of choice, just as good but not as smelly. Nothing else works for me.

    Maybe related but my son who suffers from hayfever every year has hardly had any symptoms this year.
