    These next amazing Photographs were very kindly sent to me by
    Photographer and friend, Richard Mcmellon.
    This Female hunts on Richard's ceiling and on his pillow!
    She has become quite a little friend so he tells me.



    I can see why she choses to hunt on Richard's pillow -
    perfect camouflage!
    Many thanks to Richard Mcmellon for these great Photographs!
