A couple of surprises on the dog walk.

My daily dog walk doesn't tend to throw up much in the way of surprises, mostly along pavements along the edge of the village, the occasional Red Kite, Buzzard or Sparrowhawk, the odd flower.
One section along an alleyway, does have an extensive stretch of undisturbed dense weeds / bushes. I do see the odd surprise along this stretch.. Earthstar, Fungi, Annual Honesty, and today, my first 14-Spot Ladybird! It was a hurried affair as two ladies who walk their cat, were rapidly approaching. my dog and cats spell disaster, so I grabbed a quick picture then walked round the block returning to have another look. No joy, but did photo another Ladybird nearby, which was a 10-Spot, a species that I've only seen previously in France.
