they were quite bad this morning but once i went white with blood loss they left me alone

Had a rare non tree surgery day today putting up a fence beside an unused field. Turned out to be a full on nature trail

The Cleg or horsefly is an east coaster and i noticed that its eye colouring is much duller than its scary eyed west coast blood sucking cousins. Is this normal? could they be a different species maybe? or just a simple difference between male and female?

I haven't seen a shrew for ages

 

Not since the old cat used to bring them into the house and disembowel them as a pressie for me

I adore sunflowers, always a happy make you smile kind of plant! i have grown hundreds from child to man, never ever stopped having that happy feeling when i see them!

[RobArb]

These are the first ones I've grown that have actually grown bigger than me!

What 'phone are you using for the photos - your Galaxy? You're getting some very good pics from it

 

I've been on golf courses for the past couple of weeks and it's been a bit of a wildlife wasteland . I did manage a bit of voyeurism with some Gatekeeper porn though.
