Young frog finding a shady spot by water to cool itself on a hot, sunny day. Small, but probably too big to have been one of this year’s tadpoles.

Another unwelcome insect garden visotor, some type of greenfly. It was at least on its own, and seemed just to be resting on the broom flower.

Goslings enthusiastically eating vegetation at the side of the canal and preening. At Dimmingsdale as the Canada goose parents watched from nearby.

Slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y advancing up a leaf, a white-lipped snail, the common garden snail.

The West Park turtle in one of its regular sunbathing spots, with a young but fast-growing coot in the background.

Not a welcome visitor to gardens, but when pictured this turnip sawfly was taking a rest on a hazel leaf.
