Cranefly

I think the cold had affected this cranefly - it was originally skittering wingfully (?) across the ground right by the back door of the house, but after a minute or two, ended up near the compost bin area on the soil there. It's flight was pitifully painful looking - it could barely flap its wings and I doubt that it managed to get itself 2 inches in the air at any point.

Anyway, these were as it manoeuvred across the soil:

    SB - the first chance of a shot would have been against a plain grey flagstone - I'm glad it managed to get where it got, lol..
