I think it was injured in some way as it didn't seem to be moving very well, so perhaps a predator had done some damage before I found it.


I moved it to some small flowers afterwards from the side of the pond - maybe some pollen or nectar would help it I figured.

Thanks gents.

I'm thinking about retiring the camera - time to try something new sometime. I don't have the "buzz" like I used to have...

It folded a couple of years ago m8. The man that ran it decided to finish running it.

Thanks Paul.
It was useful as it had a lot of advice on UK matters.
I haven't found anything else similar.

Love your photos BTW :-)

That would be a bummer. Your work has always been very inspiring for me.


C&C always welcome

Take up gardening then you'll have lots of subjects when you get the buzz back.
