Don't put the refuse bags out too early.
This family of Carrion Crows, mum and dad, teaching the youngsters how to scavenge was pictured when the bags were put out too early. (Don't worry the foxes will get the blame, feast on)

Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis)
This rather strange beast appeared in our bathroom, a scream from my wife saw me rushing up to her aid, to find the head and antenna peering over a tap more worried about its fate than a threat.
The insect first appeared in the UK in 2009 and quickly spread. Originally from America it was introduced into Europe in timber exports and spread out covering most of the continent in a few years.
It feeds on the seeds of the conifer and not considered to be too great a pest except in pine nurseries.
