| Horseflies are awful - you have my full sympathy, especially with 3 bites!!!! I reacted so badly to the last bite that I had to take antihistamines and get some hydrocortisone cream from the pharmacy. ... |

| Saw the first dragon fly of the year - such lovely insects.. We get the red ones, blue ones and the sort of golden yellow ones. |

| Yes, they are! We get a gang of Azul Magpies sweeping through in the morning and early evening. |

| We have some of the bumblebees with the white bottoms. They love the rosemary flowers in the garden. I have noticed that the wasps have started appearing too.. |

Very cute.
I found a poor little dead shrew a few weeks back. Poor thing!
Saw a Jay on the way up the hill yesterday. |

We have this weird and wonderful flower that has popped out of the gravel - I don't know what it's called, so I call it a Portuguese bluebell.

Some fantastic photos!
We have a new visitor to our garden: a little Serin, which sits in our olive tree and sings (well squawks) its little heart out. Fascinating little bird. |

| From her photo, she looks very alert and interested in what's going on around her, even if a little unsure of herself. Good to hear she's settling down. |
