Thanks guys for the comments - and yes Doug, as soon as the 3rd one hit the screen it also had had me chortling to myself, because of the 'label / caption / phrase' possibilities

It's actually one of 5 shots I took at the time - 2 of which were dumped, but the other 2 (+ this'un) make another 3 frame sequence I'm currently thinking of as - 'Hip ... Hip ... Hooray!' ... I might dig that out sometime as well.

I'd not ID'd the critter - just happy there's still a bit of activity in the garden - but they certainly seem similar to the specimen in Wim's (excellent) pic.

<< He does look very happy >>
Ahhh... distant memories of college days

Thanks pp

I have been in the dumps lately, I needed some cheering up. Wonderful images! I can certainly relate to these from past experiences.
