    Hi there

    The weather is so much nicer at the moment.  The sun is shining and it is 10 degrees

    I was feeding the birds today as usual and I could see a lot of Ladybirds sitting on the leaves of a nearby bush

    Is it not too early for Ladybirds to make an appearance at the moment?

    I hope that they have not been lulled into a false sense of security with the milder weather at the moment

    This is picture I took today

    Has anyone else seen Ladybirds in their patch?

    Regards

    Kathy and Dave

    Hi,

    I found this link to a ladybird lifcycle, which suggests they shouldn't be out yet, although I did see some Harlequin ladybirds around the other day, but this is obviously a 7-spot.

    2 more lifers since being up in Orkney: Iceland Gull and Great Northern Diver!

    Most recent lifer: White-billed Diver!
