I have gone the whole summer without a definite ID of one of the larger DFs. Today a Southern Hawker found it way into my garage. It made quiite a racket in it's attempts to get out again until I rescued it using my fishpond net and a leaf gatherer. The ungrateful animal departed without a thankyou.

Indeed, I am composing a missive shortly. Do you happen to have the correct address with post code?

I've been struggling to get decent photos of the resident species - plenty of them about but nobody wants to be 'papped' - I blame the hot spell for jet propelling everything
