A gardening afternoon

So the day started off well with a Muntjac viewed from the bedroom window, and a Daddy long-legs spider on the bedroom wall.

After lunch I spent some time in the garden and managed to photograph a few insects for later confirmation of ID. 


Bombus pratorum - Early Bumblebee
 

Eristalis pertinax - Tapered Drone Fly
 
 
 
Harlequin ladybird
 
 
These two lichens were on the window ledge, they seemed to fit with the photos I found on-line.

Lichens Xanthoria parietina and Physcia tenella
