Probably had the same Robin land on my hand today :)Something completely different my first Broad bodied Chaser of the year.
Glorious Robin

Great stuff. They make fantastic pictures.
Did not know what they were until last year.
Is it correct they change colour form yellow to blue or have I been misinformed ?
Been hard at work his week so not had time to go any were.
Did get some pictures of Saturn last night.
I was hopping to do the same tonight but some cloud has just come over.
The Robin was so cheeky ! Love those little birds.
Adele took the picture ! LOl.
Very nice words !
Thank you for sharing.
Kind regards Andy
Some great moments here! Thanks very much for sharing.
Great capture of a broad bodied chaser. They're a real feature of Leighton Moss in the summer. It's the females that are the yellow ones and the males are the blue ones.
Keep the photos coming :)
Thanks, Andy, I did not know it was a female until reading Annabel’s post so will be keeping my eye out for the male in a couple of weeks, I have a picture of the male taken last year this one was taken on the way to Grisedale Hide.Not had time to look at Saturn been busy myself getting ready for our trip to Seahouses but I did get yesterday off so went to Leighton Moss for the day :)Will have to keep an eye on Adele she does take very nice picture.Thanks, Annabel, I did not know that :)This one was taken last year on the way to Lower Hide.
Nice picture of the caterpillar, Adele, took I saw them myself but could not get a good picture of one and I think I heard someone say it was a Garden Tiger Moth but could be mistaken.Hope you spot the male try the walk towards Lower hide just after that little stream you crossover a good time is later in the afternoon the sun will be in the right position they like to land on anything alongside the stream that runs the full length of the path.We have been lots of time and I’m sure we will enjoy ourselves I will camp out at that little spot a few times I told you about and see if I can get some nice pictures of the little birds :)Jim
Back from Seahouses, Andy, you can see a few pictures
