Ladybird

First one of these toots in about 20 years! Crawling across the path at Spynie.

Spynie was a bit of Swan-today - at least 35 of the not-so-wee critters. Normally they are all hanging out at the other side of the loch. Whilst paying some attention to the nearest ones, my very first Kingfisher landed on a branch about 2 metres in front of the hide, clocked me (I hadn't even twitched!), and buzzed off! Bad words were said. I need to get my big lens some camo.
