          Spotted this guy today making a meal out of my Mahonia Japonica and shredding the petals in the process.

              I think it's a gal Armandii. What a courageous little lass to come out in the middle of Winter. I think she's got an orange bottom - my favourite little bee,

                Too true, Jenny, even though she's got her Winter coat on. The Male Bees will still be in bed or down the Pub.:heehee:


                I was surprised to see it, loli, but at least it proves that you can still get plants to provide food for the Bees even in this cold weather.:hapydancsmil:

                  A walk around Holes Bay, Poole Harbour at low tide this morning, one Spoonbill was feeding on it's own away from the other three.

                        The Curlew was just for you Jenny.:blue thumb:

                        Loli, I was lucky that this one was nearer to the shore, usually they are just white blobs in the distance!:biggrin:
