Hi,

Freezing cold, wet and windswept on Saturday morning, felt like winter had returned....

A walk in the morning down a length of brook revealed a number of these characters, slowly worked my way further and further down the bank in an attempt to get a more intimate view.

All the best

Phil

I really like that Phil. The line of the leaf it is eating really adds. Weather naff here too - went out this morning to the local wader scrape only to find it frozen again.

Really good shot Phil, not easy little critters but your 'field craft' paid off..

Nice one.
