Sad, but a fact of life I'm afraid. Doesn't make it any easier to look at though :-(

Even dead it looked so beautiful I felt I had to photograph it

A few years ago I came across one of these near to death with exhaustion after being chased by dogs, I took it home and left in a box in the shed leaving the door open, By morning it had recovered and was gone.

What a good story to read before bedtime. Great that you were able to help
