I am not really supposed to be using the computer at the moment, so shh, don't tell anyone :) I had planned to post before my eye surgery but there was so much to do at home before I had it done that I just ran out of time. Anyway it is done now although it was a bit more complicated than the last time and I won't know for three weeks or so how successful it has been. For those reasons this will be my last post for some weeks and I'm afraid I won't be able to visit all your lovely blogs at the moment either. Consequently this post is really just photos taken on our last visit to Otmoor.
I hope my Ids are accurate but as always I welcome correction although I may not be able to amend them immediately.

Lovely photos again ShySongbird - I hope all goes well with the eye surgery & that you'll be honouring us with your chirpy comments again soon.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Great photos of the various flying beasties Jan.
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you and trust that all goes according to plan.
I can't believe the close ups you get of these insects Jan!! They are amazing!! Now do as the doctor says and stay off the computer. I do hope your eye heals up fast and you can be out taking more of these great photos. Lots of hugs!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your second surgery is behind you, Jan; now just rest your eyes and take care of yourself. I'll miss your lovely photos and the unusual species you find--I don't think I've ever heard of a funnier insect name than the Hogweed Bonking Beetle:) I look forward to seeing more when you're able to return here, but for now, take care.
