Thanks Mark, it's good to be back, it's been a while..
The funny thing about that photo, is it was the bull-ant that backed down and let the small one pass

Hey DarrenC.. good to see you back! If only we could hear the conversation going on with these two. Not a lot else crawling around in the hills at the moment. I think it's down to that rotten dry spell we've been through.
