The Abbot's Garden with Ladybirds

The Abbot's garden is behind St Mary Priory Church in Abergavenny, and is mostly laid out to herbs. I went there hoping to blip the black mulberry tree there dripping with fruit, but either someone's picked it all or it's had a bad year, for I could only find three mulberries, and they were very hidden away and high up. You can see the tree in the blip. The medlar tree behind it was absolutely covered with medlars on the other hand, but I blipped a medlar back here, so that wouldn't do. But there were ladybirds all around, so I thought I'd populate the garden with them! I think they're all 2-spot ladybirds, which come in an astonishing variety of spot patterns and colours!
