  1. Drama in the urban garden!

    Just looking in our little pond to see what’s happening when I spot something that looked like a #damselfly dead on the surface.

    Touched it and it moved so I lifted it out on my finger.

    That’s when I noticed it had a very emaciated abdomen. With a dead spider hanging off it!

    Edit (I’m stupid).

    Mrs Runt pointed out that the damselfly had probably just emerged from the pond and that the exuvia was still hanging on. Doh!

    Decided to place the damsel in distress in our young birch tree so I could have a better look.

    Yes, definitely had clearly been predated by the spider, but (and I’m surmising here) had flown into the pond maybe to drown its attacker?

    Is that a known observed strategy? Any #entomologists or damselfly specialists who can add to this thought? Or am I simply anthropomorphising the situation?

    Or had it just flown off in panic and crashed into the pond?

    It’s a jungle out there!

    Not just “city folk”. I live in rural #Norfolk in the #UK and the amount of people that still cling on to this idea that we all need lawns (or worse, paving) rather than wild flowers, trees and hedgerows is quite frankly astonishing.

  16. Feeling torn this morning…one of the kids has had their name pulled out of a hat to sing at County Hall for the new councillors.

    When their school did very well in the Norfolk County Music Festival a few weeks back, which led to this invitation, the political make up of the council was somewhat different to what it is now - overwhelmingly .

    I was glad their music teacher was ambitious for the kids and got them to sing Adele’s James Bond hit, Skyfall. It now feels ironic.
