By this morning the storm of last night had played itself out, and the day began very promisingly. Sadly, by late morning the cloud had rolled back in and the temperature was dropping, but at least we were spared any … Continued

The sun came back out today, and brought with it the Hairy-footed Flower Bees. When I got tired of chasing them I went for a little wander up and down the lane, and on a whim veered onto the driveway … Continued

Solitary

I made a strategic error this morning, in not checking the weather forecast before I went out. R needed to be dropped in Stratford mid-morning, after which if I’d come straight home I could have enjoyed a couple of hours … Continued

The temperature went back up by a couple of degrees this morning, and the sun even emerged, albeit briefly, and suddenly the garden was full of Plumpies. I managed to count six competing males zooming around the pulmonaria in the … Continued

Irresistible

Well, I can’t resist them anyway. On the way back from Slimbridge yesterday I called in at the garden centre in Ashchurch to see if they had anything I couldn’t buy closer to home, and came back with some quite … Continued

Yesterday afternoon I had a sudden desire to buy some new plants, so I went off to Stratford Garden Centre, where my usual problem is keeping my purchases to the number of pots I can physically fit in the car. … Continued

Early Early Bumblebee

by JDO | posted in: Bees, Invertebrates, My garden, Worcestershire | 0

Just to prove that bees other than the Hairy-feet do exist in my little world, this is an Early Bumblebee queen (Bombus pratorum), who finally allowed me some photos today at the third time of trying. It’s not just the … Continued

In here somewhere…

I spent much of the day outside, in pretty nippy temperatures I have to say, tidying the rose bed in the top garden and pruning the roses. Every now and then though, I’d stop work and wander around with the … Continued
