I was lucky to spot this Orange Ladybird (Halyzia sedecimguttata<\/em>) in our garden that I have used as the header image. I saw something small float up from near our fence to a leaf on our cherry tree. I got my camera and started looking at the leaves and saw this little thing crawling about on them. I don’t remember seeing one before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s two more photos of the ladybird. It looks like it has been painted with a thick coat of transparent varnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parasitised Aphid in our garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had to do a bit of research for this photo. I have seen things like this before, several of them with little round holes in them. As I was reading I started to feel a bit squeamish so I had to get myself a drink of water. It is an Aphid that has had a parasites egg laid in it, probably by a wasp. Soon the parasite will cut a small hole and emerge. How nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These photos are all of things seen before but looked quite good on Day 64. The Blue Tits in the nest box have now fledged. There seemed to be a bit of noise from Magpies, Blackbirds and Blue Tits early in the morning but I saw three Blue Tits flitting about the Cherry tree. I couldn’t get a good look at them but it probably means that at least one of them was a fledgling, the other two could have been the parents, or more fledglings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose I could argue that the Emirates plane has not been spotted before and that it is a new thing for Day 64. 17:59 flying North West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
