Since I had my back operated on last Wednesday, I’ve been pottering around my parents rather large garden, but decided that I’d go out for a proper walk this morning.

I took my camera (regrettably with only the standard 17-70mm zoom) with me, and walked for about 2.5 miles, which isn’t much really, but is a bit more than the few hundred yards I’ve been doing around the garden.

Almost as soon as I stepped off the road, I regretted not taking my large zoom lens, as I had great views of a Roe Deer and a Sparrowhawk, then a little later, I had excellent opportunities to take some good shots of a female scorpion fly and some large red damselflies (if only I’d taken the Macro lens).

I did take a couple of close’ish shots, but they’re nowhere near as good as they would have been with the macro lens. That’ll teach me to take the macro lens off the camera :o).

Anyway, I’ve converted the images and used RoboGeo to put them on a Google Map and Google Earth.
