even the cold blodded cannot escape 'the scourge'

During PE season the observation tower in Straits Inclosure seems to be used exclusively as a perch point by his majesty. Therefore it was nice to see this little chap (or more likely, chappess) getting in on the act.
Closer inspection reveals she is not alone And I always thought ticks only attached themselves to warm-blooded creatures. Thereagain I've never encountered ticks until this year: now I've seen 5 (4 on my person) in four different locations (Wreccesham; White-cross green wood; Bentley Wood/Martin Down and Straits (Alice Holt)) On my laymans observation I would say this is a bad year for them?
Any views out there?
