Thanks M, I dislike all of them critters (caterpillars are 'ok').
I especially dislike (big) spiders
Living where I live though (I won't say where as it might encourage Less to come round for a brew ) they are (sadly) a uncontrollable part of garden life

My Ma has a similar problem...though her critters include mice and water voles, frogs and toads(she has a well in her cellar - own spring water)

Rather that than being inundated with pond life!

I don't mind the critters you mentioned (except mice ) I can't say I've ever seen a water vole, are they the critters that are similar to a aquatic mouse? (If so I don't like them too).

I'm liking the idea of my own well though, it'd certainly come in handy if we ever experience civil unrest and it's got to be better the tap stuff

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes....Aquatic mice is a pretty good description.

Today in Pictures is only partially today, some are yesterday, but as you can see, its that time of year again.

You don't need infra red for night shots Frank.

This photo was taken through my patio doors last night about nine thirty.
It was really dark at the bottom of my garden about 50 feet away.
The difficult part is focusing the shot as it is too dark to see the subject.
14.5 seconds delay, f 5.6 50mm focal length, no artificial lighting and obviously using a tripod. My hands are not too steady after a few pints.

Today in Pictures involved a short walk into the wooded area of Bullough Park
