Thanks people.
Wish I could have got more of them out in the open.
It would have helped with the DVD I,m doing for the farmer too. He's been one of the most helpful people I have ever met.
Cheers

Crikey, you must have run fast to get your camera, John. :eek: When I see something in my garden and go indoors to get my camera, it has gone when I come back, more often than not. :rolleyes:

An excellent image, well worth the effort.
