A 22-spot ladybird, poised on a daisy petal. Needless to say, this was from a couple of months ago - not seen either daisies or ladybirds today.

I took my parents to Chambers Farm Wood for a potter around. The weather was a bit iffy - lovely when the sun came out, but rather wet at times. There was even a thunderstorm. The spring flowers are looking great - here are some wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa). In some areas of the wood there were wonderfully huge drifts of them, but none of my photos did them justice.

The warm sunny weather of the past couple of days has really got the ladybirds moving again! Here, a 7-spot clambers over a grape hyacinth.
