Tick
Tick, probably Ixodes ricinus, the Sheep Tick, Deer Tick or Castor Bean Tick, adult female. Woodwalton Fen NNR, Ramsey Heights, Cambridgeshire. Sunday 9 June 2019.
There were zillions of tick nymphs at WWF on Sunday, but this was the only adult I saw. It was wandering across one of my sandals when I spotted it, but I thought the wooden bench would make a better background.
I've left the GPS data on this one, so you know which bench to avoid!
