Hibernating Ladybirds

Every year we put loads of Poppies on the avenue to Combe Hay Village to commemorate remembrance Sunday with particular memory of a young serviceman killed in Afghanistan on active service who was born and raised in the village. I was thrilled to find, when removing the poppies, hundreds of ladybirds had taken up residence along the railings to hibernate for the winter.
