Joined your mission and added it. Finally I am getting notifications again now after a long lean period.

I think the first two pictures show the leaves.

Looks similar the Chinese Mantis, Tenodera sinensis

It is a female House Sparrow.

I moved the fourth to a separate spotting, had assumed the same from a different angle as all taken within a few seconds of each other.

Thanks, could it be the Forest Bug, Pentatoma rufipes, at least for the first 3. I only have a basic wildlife book for most of what I see. I think the fourth one is the same individual as it was taken 23 seconds after the others so I think just a different angle. Not found any pictures showing the underside.

Thanks for the ID, page updated.

Thanks for the tip, my book shows a match to S Vulgaris which is called a Bladder Campion.
