Leafcutters!

 1 - 2 October 2020

Early in October, following the rain, I spotted some activity around the paving outside the house.  Some serious raiding of the creeping thyme was going on - ants were actively cutting away leaves to take into their nest for winter storage.  It was quite disturbing because determined deprivations would leave us with denuded stones.  In the event, they didn't take very much, so they are welcome to what they need.

Ants hard at work.

Unlike us, who took to the sea again.  
Warm sea, full moon, good fishing - what more could we ask?
