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

Oh wow, those are stunning. I've had three Pentax cameras in my time, the third one being my first digital. I really loved them (still got two of them!) but decided on a change last time I bought and now I use a Canon Powershot. Even though I've had it a couple of years I still don't understand it properly! I think I need to do a course - or possibly read the full instructions...

Oh yes, I have plenty of those too! It's a shame, sometimes something looks great on the camera screen, then I transfer it to the PC and it's actually a bit rubbish.

 

Full house this morning, well almost, had to fill up again.


Even the Sparrows go for the nyjer seed.


Of which there are no shortage here, these only a third of them.

 

we had a buzzard on the ground 1st thing this morning (don't think it was after the seeds though) Haven't got a photo, as grabbing a camera was not high on the list of priorities, on the way to the toilet!

 

Brief visit from a Chiffchaff, thought it might be a Willow Warbler but the short wings and dark legs were a give away.

 

Aren't they fascinating Armandii? I would love to own a hive and have my own to talk to. I have no fear of bees at all and I am so sorry for bees when someone starts panicking and flapping! They are such brave and totally focused little things and I love their honey in my yoghourt,

Still mainly Admirals here sometimes four or five, with the odd White.

 

Just to prove me wrong, within ten minutes of posting the Admiral these two turned up together! Helichrysum is definitely a magnet for them.
Comma.

Beautifull pics Strongy...i can count on one hand the Butterflys that have visited my garden this year.... i wouldn't mind i did a special border just for them and the Bees.....even the wasps are turning the plums down

 

That's disappointing Loli , we bought some specials for them, Sedum, Lavander Stoechas, Lysimachia, Echinacea and Rudbeckia although the Helichrysum seed was given to me not bought specifically for them, I just grew it to fill a space but the last month has been non stop Bees and Butterflies.
If I could I'd send you some!

 

Wonderful pictures,
thank you Strongy

 

A lot of Chaffinches around the feeder at the moment,


This baby Goldfinch is constantly making a noise outside our door.
