First warm spring sunshine!

It is so nice to feel the warm sunshine on the skin again! And not only us humans that enjoy the sun's warmth, all that buzzes and crawls has come out.

The stonewalls in particular are well visited, especially in the afternoon after having had a large part of the day to store the sun's warmth.

The dung fly - enjoying this warm stone, allowing me enough time to get a decent 'portrait' shot.

Somehow I find its little face charming ... it always seems to have a gentle smile.

There is an abundance of spiders everywhere ... not sure what type this is but it too enjoyed the warmth of the stones.

This is a baby nursery web spider who wasn't quite sure what to do now that it reached the end of that  tried nettle stalk ...

 One of my favourite spiders, it is tiny and difficult to spot. This year there seem to be plenty of the about. This one was choosing a great backdrop in shape of an old, corrugated metal sheet and a piece of dead wood.

This hoverfly was quite keen on posing on a daffodil petal.

 Stonewalls ... look at them closely and discover all the tiny worlds ...

Young fern plant ... there is something magical about them ...
