  Thanks, Claire :)
  Looks like it. Couldn't get a close shot as was using a compact camera then :( Posted 8 years ago

    Really not easy to identify, I was thinking one of the puff-legs as you can just see some white fluffy bits but I couldn't find one with the same colouration. So I am still not 100%, I will try to look into it further when I have some time. Not bad for a compact! Posted 8 years ago
