 A local walk not quite two weeks ago produced a couple of canny birds.

Three Firsts…

 …for me today, my first Bee-flies and Mining Bees of the year and my first ever 10-spot Ladybird and a canny coffee and cheese scone as well.

Bee-fly first of the year.






Tawny Mining Bee.

Another Mining Bee.

This one seems to be trying to take the pollen from the legs of another Bee.

There were a few Mining Bees around.


This one was coming into land.


Carder Bee. 

My first 10-spot Ladybird with a 7-spot.

Pow Hill

 An early morning local walk before I went to Pow Hill turned up a couple of Roe Deer in the “back field” which are always nice to see. Unfortunately, no Red’s or Crossbill while I at Pow Hill but it’s still nice to be out.
