WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2018

No pics, I'm afraid, but pleased to say lots of butterflies this year I think I've identified a common blue ( not common here I might add) and others I'm not familiar with. Lots off bees too Red tailed, bumble, honey.
When watering the sweet peas tonight one crawled out of a hole near the stems, I did feel guilty as it came out sopping wet

 

Pleazzzzzzzz ​

 

Ive had them flying round me all day they have decided to nest in some insulation in the eaves of the summer house, i blocked there direct path to the nest with a fascia and there was a fair few flying round trying to work out where the nest was,

There not hurting anything at the moment so i will leave them B, i think they could be honey bees if they are my pal will come and take them, i will grab a few shots tomorrow

 

I wasn't expecting to but we were half way around the lake and I didn't realise just how steep and rough the path was at first. It was the thought of the coffee and shortbread biscuits that kept me going

 

Not flying but resting this chap is getting quite friendly, got to within 7 feet to take picture and 2 feet from our house

 

Spent the day with Mrs S at Ham Wall RSPB on the Avalon marshes near Glastonbury. Saw Marsh Harriers, Hobbies, Great White Egrets and a brief view of a passing Bittern (great to hear them 'booming') but none were really close enough for a pic.

 

I totally agree mate ....just the thought of a on hand would at the end of it...would keep any one going never mind food

 

Stunning close ups Jiffy

 

These ducks are so tame that they waited, in flight, for the skipper of the boat I was on to give them permission to land on the stern.

 

close ups Sheal...I do seeing them as i'm not that great with camera's myself
