We live at Keepers Cottage, on The North Rhins, SW Scotland and because of its situation and the variety of wildlife that can be seen in and around the cottage, I decided to keep a wildlife diary. We also enjoy regular walks in beautiful Dumfries and Galloway and beyond which I also record here, with photos and few words.

oops! Forgot to tick the box for follow-up comments ;-)
I highly recommend 'Collins Complete British Insects' by Michael Chinery.
# ISBN-10: 0007179669
# ISBN-13: 978-0007179664
It's by no means exhaustive but gets you started with clear photographs and information on the critters you're most likely to meet :).
