There&#39;s been no sign of the foxes this evening, and the day was grey. Plus I got round to installing a new graphics card in my PC. Much overdue, as the previous card (GeForce GT9600) constantly &#39;stopped working&#39;. It had become so bad that it could barely handle video at all, and would even stall while browsing the web. I&#39;d been putting it off as I&#39;m always a little wary of opening the box and messing around. As it is, the job was incredibly straightforward and most of the time was spent waiting for the new drivers to load. The new card (Zotac 210) is so far working fine and hopefully I can just forget about it now! <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, to the photos&#8230; mainly damselfly nymphs. I did see a newt, my first of the year (but it was too quick for me).<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/damselfly_nymph_1501117813.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/damselfly_nymph_1501117834.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>This next one isn&#39;t a nymph, but some sort of aquatic grub. No doubt it will turn into a pond beetle (or something similar) in time. If anyone (Neil?) can identify it, please do!<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/pond_grub_1501117826.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Finally a more &#39;composed&#39; shot of a damselfly.
