Field Notes

Notes:

As I was heading towards my car, I couldn't help but notice this spider sitting in the middle of my bonnet, having a late night snack... he wasn't at all phased by the flash or lens in its face, but promptly disappeared back into the Chassis when I unlocked the central locking.
