Content We're quite fond of the various beetles we meet in the course of our meanderings, we're getting to recognise some of the different varieties but we hadn't come across one of these before. Unsurprisingly, it's called a "Swollen-thighed beetle". The local newspaper carried a small article advising that now is a good time to keep an eye open for glow-worms. We'd seen one once before in Cornwall but didn't expect to see any round here as we thought there would be too much artificial illumination. However, disused railway lines are specifically mentioned as likely sites, so we thought we'd take a late-night turn along the railway walk --- and saw four glow-worms the first night and three the following night. Macro photography at night with a digital camera needs a bit of practice, this was the best I could manage. Although we continue to check, we haven't seen any more. Enter the content of the posting
