On the fence again (!) here is a juvenile Woody looking for tasty bugs.

Ants - they're amazing creatures! They will tend small flocks of aphids, seeking the sugar-rich honeydew the aphids produce as they suck sap from the plant. In turn, the ants protect the aphids from predators, such as ladybirds and lacewings, and recent studies have shown them also protecting the aphids from fungal outbreaks that cause death by removing bodies of infected aphids. Ain't nature awesome?

One of a sequence of photos of one the many Dolphins (possibly two separate pods) that we saw hunting, leaping and apparently playing with yachts while anchored in Sanna Bay (near Ardnamurchan Point) on the west coast of Scotland.

Like many of the Dolphins we saw it seemed to have many scars on its skin.

Cropped as taken from a long distance from the deck of a yacht.

Well its supposed to be Spring but it feels more like Autumn.
