Jumped from behind

While I was crawling about taking photographs of wild strawberries the other day I found myself being jumped on from behind by a mystery assailant.

The first hit was just behind my right ear, the second on my right shoulder... my self-defence training kicked in and I rolled to the left, protecting my camera with my right arm and the fold of my gut.

Pushing from right foot and left knee I rose to face my attacker, but saw nothing.

Who was behind this and what was going on?

Slightly bemused I walked back to my car....

Approaching from the rear off-side I spotted a member from a likely suspect species...

And here the little guy is walking down my side panel:

Not exactly Bigfoot is he? :))

  I did, yes. They were wonderfully sweet and full of flavour.
  I wonder if you mean blackberries? Or maybe loganberries? Better yet... tayberries!
  
  Tayberry is a cultivated shrub of the family rosaceae bred in 1962 from a cross between the Blackberry and the Raspberry at the Scottish Crops Research Institute, Invergowrie, Scotland by David Jennings and David Mason.
