A Bee, Beetle & Butterfly

Mainly sunny, 19°, light NNE.

A good day for butterflies with Tony Rayner counting 19 species in his garden today including White-letter Hairstreak.

And Tony Williams has found a bee species that he was not familiar with and neither are we.

Alan has identified it as a Scabious Mining Bee and am inclined to agree. BUT we may be proved wrong?

A Lesser Stag Beetle photographed by Edward Dawson aged 7. A budding wildlife photographer.

Thanks to Tony W for the bee info and Tony R & Alan for the photos and of course Edward.
