Drama in our garden !
In the late afternoon I have witnessed an amazing event. A young wall lizard got caught in the web of a pair of common house spiders, and hanging by the tail, was unable to get away. After waiting for a couple of hours the female spider made its move, and started to secure its prey.
EDIT: after struggling in the web for nearly 24 hours (and being repeatedly bitten in the tail by the female spider) a beam of direct warm afternoon sunlight gave just enough extra energy to the lizard that it managed to break itself free.
