This has got to be my favourite piece of nature spotting this month. Something I have never seen before. The pictures aren’t great but you can clearly see what’s happening. I was super excited and stood watching this for ages. I didn’t want to go in to get my long lens or tripod so just took a chance that I would get something to share with you. If you click on the picture you will see it larger.
The ‘thing’ the wasp is building its nest in is a decorative water sprinkler hanging on the same bracket as my basket of pansies.

I have loved this challenge so much, thanks for looking 🙂

Watching the Birds

Up There

Down Here

More rain here, more snails here.

June 19th – 27th

The unexpected has kept me away from my Mac last week. I have been taking the pictures, mostly on the phone and mostly in the garden and made them into a collage.

Raindrops, colour, perfume, seedheads and snail.

The Coot family

I can’t find out the correct name for the young coots so have decided to call them cootlings or coatings as the auto spell check insists on as a replacement.

Whatever their proper name is they are absolutely adorable and very very noisy!
