I got home today and found this beetle in the conservatory. It was very obliging, keeping very still for me whilst I photographed it.
As I released it, it flew off towards the trees and a large blackbird swooped out of the tree, catching and eating it in mid flight!
(I know, I need to clean the sensor!)
