Wasps
I think the fence behind my house is untreated, because wasps seem to love chewing out the wood, presumably to use to make their nests. I’ve seen two different types of wasp, and they’ve left the fence covered in tiny scar-like tracks. Luckily I rent the place so it’s not my problem if the fence eventually collapses!
The only picture I’ll ever post of my son

It Came From Underneath My Granddad’s Parasol
Still farting about with the Kodak Zi6. Here it’s used to film a snail that was minding his own business underneath my granddad’s garden parasol.
I loved the way the tiny pinpricks of light were playing off his slimy skin. Wish I could have held the camera more steadily, and the depth of field is a bit too tight. I couldn’t get the whole snail in focus at once, and he was pretty tiny.
Aw, birdies!
I recently bought a mini HD camera (a fun but no-frills Kodak Zi6) and this is quick film I made with it. Just a bit of Blu-tack fastened it to the post next to my peanut feeder, and over an hour it caught a blue tit, green finch and great tit helping themselves to the peanutty goodness.
You might just spot the resident pair of robins, flitting in to eat the raisins on the lawn.
Any silly comments about the tits will be summarily removed!
