Loveliness of ladybirds

Apparently that is the collective noun for them according to Radio 4 and Google! Seems perfect after my morning in the garden.
Yesterday it was fun to find one here and one there but today.........
I lost count, but they were all over the old buddleia bushes that I went to prune. I did cut some branches off but left them in a pile and a little later some of the ladybirds had moved onto them. Some kind of feast I guess.
Three good things
1. Sunshine and lovely day for working in the garden
2. Lots of washing out to dry.
3. Easy tea....chicken and mushroom pie from M&S. Hadn't tried it before but rather nice and gluten free which suits me better really.
What a sight that is Sallie....they are sunning themselves! They are obviously having a get together for Easter!

Thank you for your lovely comments. These were just some that seemed happy on an old buddleia bush that I hadn't pruned in autumn. And this morning i saw some on the 'dead' eryngium (sea holly) so perhaps tidying everything at the end of the year isn't best for little creatures.
