Having seen Early Mining Bee whilst up in Yorkshire recently and with a bored moment I decided to have a look at some bees (other than bumbles) around the garden this afternoon. Along a particular sunny stretch of laurel hedge next to our orchard I was able to find, identify and photograph 2 more species -
Tawny Mining Bee and
Communal Mining Bee. The former in particular was quite a good looking beastie!
Very little else to get excited about locally, just a pair of singing
Goldcrests and our first
Chiffchaff in the garden and a
Common Buzzard over the village.
