Amazing, the first two are just something else, are they always so inquisitive?
Cant wait to see the close ups.

Jolly good macro. Are the white bits hairs, rough bits, warts or what?
Hairs David, they are quite a hairy beast.

Another superb close-up of a fascinating little creature!

The flash obviously helps, but are you able to get these handheld?
This was taken hand held Nigel but I had the advantage of a sturdy branch to rest on, I find a tripod to slow to set up with live macro, also the size of the flash head can also be a disadvantage poking through the foliage.
I am told the Tamron 60 is a nice little lens for hand held macro but have not tried it myself.

First one would make a good Christmas card, as an avid birder these are good.
