Mining-Bees

Not a lot about at the moment but I did take these very attractive Bees at the week-end.
I think they are Ashy Mining-Bees (Andrena Cineraria).

Birds at Last!!

Had a great mornings birding (for a change). Bumped into John and Kate at Buttermilk Hill,

and we all had great views of Ring Ouzel and this stunning Redstart.
