Glorious day so we got out into the Local Nature Reserve for a walk with my daughter after lunch and saw so many insects,birds and flowers. A couple of the fields are flat enough to be easy to walk on. I think this is a pill beetle, Byrrhus pilula, not something I've seen before. I do have a photo from the side too.
Three good things from Wednesday:
1. Brilliant walk around the nature reserve
2. We cleaned up the bike store we're sorting, binning all the plastic toys and rotten plastic sheets. I got to climb back in, because shutting it properly meant the latch caught and wouldn't open again; so much easier to do this time, not having to climb down into a holly bush.
3. We made a very satisfactory scarecrow at Guides for the scarecrow walk this weekend.
Thank you for looking, you're all superstars. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than thanking you individually below.
