What bugs are in your backyard?

Butterflies may have left for sunnier climates but there are still plenty of insects flying, buzzing and hopping around.

You don’t need to go far to spot the odd bug….

  1. That’s so cool! I love it. Isn’t that the actor from Monarch of the Glen?

  2. Yes, Hammish Clark. Do you watch Monarch of the Glen? We had the pleasure of meeting Hammish when he recorded the narration for the “Toffee On Parade” animation video. What a blast we had.
