Wow, a superb set of pics. Great work with the black Rove beetle on the white flower - something I have great difficulty getting anywhere near right lol.

Those are nice photos George, and I really like the fly in the last one. Thanks for sharing.

P/S: Where about in Worcester was these taken? The town is kinda nostalgic for me, as I did my A Levels at King's School there in the late 80s :)

Yes, but an old version which I bought in 2007 (no IS/OS) which has a 30mm ext tube stuck to it.

A former King's School lad, well done! I took these at Lower Smite Farm, a nature reserve which is close to Hindlip, a stone throw away from the Warriors Rugby Club. :-)
