Resting on its Laurels

A busy day for me, including making plum chutney with just a small part of our glut.
When I went out to bring in my washing, I noticed a dark speck on a chair at the bottom of the garden. When I went to investigate, I saw that it was a Speckled Wood. I went back to the house to get my phone and returned to the bottom of the garden. It stayed put whilst I composed my shot, but the moment I went for it, it flew off - but fortunately only as far as the laurel hedge.
