Wandering around the garden this evening with the Nikon, spotted this fella. I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever seen one of these in our garden.

Nice photo's Phil, I've seen quite a few of these on my travels, they are pretty hard to get a photo off.

Ah the old telephoto macro trick :D
