Crescent Moon and Venus

When I took this in March the crescent Moon and Venus were arranged closely in the night sky, with Jupiter a little further off. I got this shot by holding my smartphone up to the eyepiece of a 7x40 monocular I have, a very hit and miss affair! This is the best of 3 shots.

Little Jumper

I spotted this tiny chap earlier, and after a first shot he turned around to look right at me!
