Hedge trimming today, careful not to cause further damage than it already had as Leyland cypress hedges do not tend to grow new foliage on old wood, trimming too deep causes browning that will not usually reverse. 🐞 I have never come across so many ladybirds in one hedge, they were flying away as I got along, also saved a lot of the slower ones. I believe at least a few hundreds, at the top of the hedge mainly, hence why I have no photos.
