Dazzling in purple! It’s not the best of photos but the bumble was clearly enjoying the Poppy.

Buzz pollination I think it’s called, a bumble speciality
Looks like a lot of fun too!

Today, sorting my log store, I came across this nest. A wood mouse I think. Probably the one that’s been eating my peas as they sprout!
Well now he’s homeless.....awwwww!

There’s a lot of talented photographers here, and beautiful pictures and videos that I love looking at. Makes me think about having a go myself.

What on earth is this caterpillar?

Totally extraordinary!

Vaguely like a pale tussock caterpillar at one of the early instar stages?
