            Woo, your X-Ray vision isn't working so well this morning.

            I can see the bee in that picture :thumbsup:. The left arm of your cross goes through it with (about a third of the way along that arm) with a part of the bee beneath the arm.

            Woo has now kindly adjusted his picture :love30: :)

                  Although on the decline,we have plenty of Sparrows, here's half of them and the 'old' nyjer feeders.

                  Here is the new one with an attatched tray to catch what they drop.
                  Five Siskins have used it already (today) but not seen the Goldfinches yet.

                      The day has been warm but cloudy but it's been a day for a lot of insect activity in the garden. There were literally hundreds of bees and Hoverflies everywhere. Butterflies were also everywhere. All four of my Buddleias had Butterflies on them and if I stood still a Butterfly would land on me!!! Brilliant!!!! There were Peacock, White Cabbage, Small Tortoiseshell, Small Borders, Gate Keepers, and a Common Blue Butterfly [which is not that common as that was the very first I've seen in my garden].
                      All is well with the world when I see Nature working like that.:coffee::snork:

                          Aw Loli,
                          I keep nipping outside for a few minutes of dry "window" and then charging back indoors as the heavens open yet again. I've been watching one bee trying so hard to land on the edge of a salvia flower . The flower's opening is bouncing up and down in the wind and the bee just can't make contact!
                          Bee's fed up,
                          Loli's fed up,
                          And so am I,
                          :wallbanging:
