They are finally back! Joyous!

Joyous indeed
This really is my favourite time of the year.
Another bright warmer day and the ladybirds are plentiful (I counted over a dozen in my small patch of garden).
And occasionally, there's a bad landing to sort out!

Nice, but that lighthouse looks like in real danger of disappearing.

Paul. Thanks for sharing these pics along with this important information about great crested newts.These photographs were taken in a controlled conservation area (I am registered with an organisation/charity as a volunteer).
I should point out about the great crested newt:
Due to enormous declines in range and abundance in the last century, the great crested newt is strictly protected by British and European law which makes it an offence to: kill, injure, capture or disturb them; damage or destroy their habitat; and to possess, sell or trade. This law refers to all great crested newt life stages, including eggs.
Please see the following regarding the GCN > FROGLIFE
Great crested newts are the largest of the UK's three native species. They are dark brown or black in colour with a distinct ‘warty’ skin. The underside is bright orange with irregular black blotches. Please remember too, being highly protected in law, that you cannot hold them if you find them (except for rescue purposes).
Let finish by saying I am privileged to be able to photograph these amphibians - and that the conservation work we do on our secure nature reserve, is critically important. I will share more images to this thread when possible.
Paul.
Thanks Sassy. Sometimes taking photos can have extra meanings than just a momentary record.

Arcoíris ?
Took these over my husband’s WV auto shop.

I bet so, Paul. Capturing the images and learning about all the small creatures that surround us and have an important role in our habitat is quite enlightening ?

Cornwall has been pretty spectacular this weekend.

Looks stunning!
Love New Brighton but it's in dire need of some fresh redevelopment.
You can see it starting to happen in little pockets around the back of the front. Some of the old Georgian mansions, overlooking the river are stunning.
A couple from the garden tonight - a bark fly and a millipede on a wintered leaf.

Not so much a boss photo, but a very boss mural of pixelated trees in downtown Philadelphia (zoom in for detail)
