Hibernating ladybirds. There are dozens of them all around the garden.

Mrs Blackbird, just about to eat her suet pellets!

One of my pet ramshorn snails - some of them display this unusual colour pigmentation

You wouldn't think that it's mid November as some of the garden flowers still look lovely!

Some fruit from the garden

Privet Hawkmoth which emerged yesterday and was released in the garden. It had been rescued as an enormous caterpillar by my dad as it was in danger of being run over on the road. It overwintered as a pupa deep in the soil in a large container.
