I spotted a honey bee on the gorse, at least I hope it's a honey bee? Someone must have a hive nearby as I don't think there's any in the wild anymore which is sad. sorry it's a bit fuzzy.

It's not like any bee in my garden, and I get several different types from bumbles the size of B52 bombers, to tiny little wild bees.

Saying that, I just googled honey bee, and yes, it does look like one.

Not being very up on bees, don't the other varieties I see laden with pollen make honey?

[Verinda]

Yes but I think other bees only make a small amount for the larva. Only the honey bee makes it in such large quantities.

What a lovely bumble bee!

I spotted this seagull floating like a kite on an updraft of wind, it was just so magical.

Todays offering is A frush. He particularly enjoyed the contents of the red tray. They were vine weevils which I had cleared out of a pot of lillies.

There were loads of collard doves last year, but this year they have been thin on the ground. This one took a liking to sitting on the gh door.

Something more mundane today. These starlings are supposed to be on the decline. Not in my garden they aren't. Not one of my favourite birds either. Must get that bird bath filled!

The most humble spuglet. Not many take notice of how nice the plumage can be on these "commoners".
First is an adult then a juvenile, then a hygiene freak.

I spotted this teeny weeny bumble bee today, sorry it's a bit fuzzy but he was zipping about at top speed!

Often misnamed as a hedge sparrow is the Dunnock or Hedge accentor.

What a lovely photo of a dunnock.

I snapped a better photo of the teeny weeny bumble bee today (ok not likely it's the same one! ) and he looks sooo cute I just have to post it!
