A few a snippets from the garden today.
So there I was watching this Honey Bee on the Scabious, when a very small bee entered the air space above it.

To be honest I'm not sure what bee species this. Possibly a male Blue Mason Bee (Osmia caerulescens), but the shape doesn't look right!!
One of the Red-tailed Wasps. Unfortunately there are several very similar looking species here in the UK and can only bee identified by expert examination.
And of course I couldn't leave out Ted and..........
