Thanks Bron! I have been watching all of these fabulous photos of insects and spiders etc appearing on CNM recently, many from West Belconnen Pond, and was thinking, "who is this Bron, and why haven't I seen her around?" then last week it suddenly struck me, of course, I know Bron! So many beautiful photos, thanks for sharing them :) (ps I think the first time I met you was at WBP observing three Freckled Ducks ;) )

Yes I thought I'd recognised your name too Christine - thanks for your kind words:) I've been noticing your great shots too - you're so prolific, you must be out photographing every day - brilliant! I'm going through 10 yrs of shots putting up old sightings so don't have much time for actually taking shots lol.
