    That's beautiful Kandy. Lucky you. [​IMG] I'm on the lookout now as I'm starting to see the different ones although because we had a mild winter, a lot have been around all the time.

    Thankyou both LoL and Woo.It was a nightmare because it kept flitting round the garden and the wind was blowing every plant it rested on so I couldn't get the camera to focus.These were about the best as I took a few of them :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
