              Evening folks. My "planting for bees" theme seems to be working well. The garden was buzzing today (no pun intended!!) This plant really attracts them.

                Up until a few years ago I hadn't seen a Speckled Wood @wiseowl but more seem to be appearing here now which can't be a bad thing. :)

                    Rubbish day for bird watching as it was so windy. I went out early to see the White Winged Black Tern on the gravel pit lake but it had gone although I just managed to track another (distant) Cuckoo. They often sit with their wings hanging down.

                    Reed Warbler (lots).

                    Very poor shot of a Hobby, they fly soooooo fast.

                      Cuckoo's are really lazy birds aren't they Strongy? They not only farm their young out for other birds to rear, they slouch at rest too! :heehee:
