This was taken not long after the female I posted on the other thread on 9th November 2009. I saw both male and female at times near each other, again at the base of my south facing wall near Lincoln UK.
2 pics.

Thanks again Tony, can I assume I am correct in it being a male or is not safe to say?
I have other pics from other dates of what looks like a male, perhaps I should post those too to be sure they are the same but they look the same.

It's not very clear, but I'd guess this was a male from the abdominal shape

I have 3 pics of a male from the previous day, 8th November, which are probably better and probably the same male.
