Buzy Bee's

I was glad to see the sun shine this afternoon after such a cold and gloomy morning. Not that I saw much of the morning after staying up so late last night. I don't think I can top photographing GlowWorms but I do love this photo of a Bee about to land on the Buttercups. Needs a caption like 'let me at em' or 'here I come, ready or not'. Unusually I only took one photo of a bird today at it was this one of a Swallow. They used to nest on our house until we had a new roof a few years back. Now I only get brief glances as they fly around catching insects. Can't wait for their babies to fledge and I get great views of them lining up on the wire. My most interesting spot today was these mating Beetles. The poor things had me photographing them and then if that wasn't enough intrusion, another Beetle came along and wanted a bit of the action. My mum spotted this 'Ground Hopper' on the track today. I find it difficult to distinguish between Ground Hoppers, Grasshoppers and Crickets but my money's on Ground Hopper today. A mysterious hole has appeared in the soil just behind the Strawberry plant in a plastic tub. Finally I saw this tiny spider hiding on the last remaining Pak Choi. So what to do tonight? The only way to beat going GlowWorm watching at this time of year would be to hear the NightJars. It maybe too early in the year but I'll give it a go, wish me luck
