Just last summer I learned a new word: "estivation." It's a similar process to hibernation, except it occurs in hot, dry conditions, when creatures slow everything down to survive the heat.
I think the cold weather we've been having makes everyone wish they could hibernate!!! Thanks for these photo's, I don't think I've seen that many orange ladybirds together.

I find the odd solitary hibernating ladybird but I've never been lucky enough to come across a little sleepy colony like that
Hello, pretty wintry scenes. Love the jackdaw shot. Enjoy your day and weekend ahead! I wish you all the best in 2017, Happy New Year!

Beautiful jackdaw! I'll admit, I never heard of one until now.
