Happy New year 2017/2018 to all.

A 3mm Euophrys frontalis (Male) Jumping Spider

I don't normally upload more than one from a series but I just can't pick one I like the most from this wonderful morning out. Wish I could play their call to go with it.

One of two cubs at the sett tonight. Very cute and a little bit sleepy... But soon woke up when he spotted his sibling had found the macadamia nuts and sultanas I'd put down. Mum was charging around changing the beds and at one point ran into my tripod, she gave me a filthy look... and the youngsters were playing so close to me that most of the time I couldn't focus. I might have to start using the macro lens.

As see on TV (BBC Springwatch UnSprung), and the BBC Springwatch Home page and iPlayer... and their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages... Which is nice :@)
