What's Buzzing or Flying near You Today..?? Mark 2..!!

Lovely pics Shiney

 

Aw wow Shiney....you'd swear some of them were posing for the camera aren't they all facinating.... some look quite odd...but all amazing....

 

Thank you for those Mr Shiney. What a lovely peaceful place for them to live in. All look in such splendid condition.

 

Further piccies of yesterday's moth (#657). He'd crawled out from the flowers and parked under the door step. I decided to move him - again, as he would cook under there if the sun got to work 'cos it's south facing. So I've taken him for another walk to the opposte side of the communal garden (facing north) and put him at the back of a Berberis hedge. My book Collins Complete British Wildlife suggets he's a Scalloped Oak Moth. I think he's yummy.

 

Lovely moth photos Jenny. Doesn't he look cute.
A bit of a late start but I've seen some Peacock,Brown field, White,Tortoiseshell,Brimstone,and Fritillary butterflies, and the first swallowtail for this year.

One of the Peacocks:

 

Some more taken today.

A Brimstone:


Lots of big black bees around:


This bee was literally wallowing around in the flower:

 

Stunning shots Mandy, sharp as you can get.

 

They are spellbinding Mandy. And am I right in thinking you use a Lumix FZ45?
If so, I would love to know how you get such amazing detail.
Congratulations:ktykss:

 

Yes I do. The Panasonic does a good macro. You do have to get a bit close. I sometimes get too close and end up touching what I'm supposed to be photographing. No good if you have a phobia of bees and the like!

 

Um, I can't open or view your photos Mandy - Firefox won't let me Very frustrating.

Edit -
Just tried with IE and opened them no bother, then went back to FF and they opened!
Cracking pix!!!

 

Wow ....brilliant Mandy....
