Ladybirds gathering food from flowers in an Ashford garden have been caught on camera in stunning detail.

The pictures were taken by Hillbrow Road resident Linda Dodd in her back garden.

She said: “I like to wander around the garden, and I keep my camera close by.

“I’m into macro photography at the moment, where you take a picture of something small but up close.”

Mrs Dodd, whose interest in photography started around two years ago, is currently using a Sony A57 camera.
