A chilled out day in the back garden on another beautiful sunny day. Highlights bird-wise were 6 Swifts, 2 House Martins and a Peregrine Falcon over the house. Whilst in the bushes and neighbouring trees families of both Great Tit and Blue Tits feeding their youngsters.
In and around the flower beds lots of bees and hoverflies with several Early Mining Bees and Long Hoverfly & Marmalade Hoverflies. Plus a Dagger Fly.
A few images from today:
A Great Tit on the feeders.
I think this is an Early Mining Bee, Andrena haemorrhoa
And another..............
.........and another.
Long Hoverfly, Sphaerophoria scripta.............
..........another view.
I have no idea what these are, but there were a lot of them basking in the sun.
Dagger Fly, Empis tessellata
