Wakeham

It was a day of rest today watching the tennis at Wimbledon and then the football later. A trip out into the back garden to stretch my legs, revealed:

Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris)

Common Carder bee (Bombus pascuorum)

Grey-patched Mining Bee (Andrena nitida)

Thick-legged hoverfly (Syritta pipiens)

Here are a couple of photos of.............

.................. a Marmalade Hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus)

White Stonecrop (Sedum album)

The garden looks a mess, but it will look good in time.


Note
And I would just like to add: Happy 93rd Birthday Don, one of my main followers. I hope you had a wonderful day. Sadly the football didn't go our way, and overall Spain had a great day with Carlos Alcaraz beating Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon and Spain beating England, but at least Alfie Hewett beat Martin De La Puente 6-2, 6-3 in the men's wheelchair singles final. So 2 - 1 to Spain.
