Its been a fascinating week in the garden. Have discovered that Buff-tailed bumblebee- Bombus terrestris pops out of hibernation as soon as the sun shines and makes a “bee-line” for the winter flowering Mahonia in the front garden. I am currently without my trusty macro lens so havn’t managed any really great photos yet but here is one that’s worth a look. Also a flock of Canada Geese were heard passing over early the other morning. here is a link to my Web Gallery showing all the Hoverflies and Butterflies seen so far.
