We have bluetits again, caught this one rummaging, and might explain why some of the growing redcurrants looked missing a few! Well, them and the sparrows, quite busy so far this year for birds.

Growing season is well underway, now its just a battle between the plants and the slugs. Although I have taken to updating the sil tray to accommodate more inside on the window sil.

Finally seeing lots of signs of spring, a bit of colour working it’s way through.

And the insects are starting to make an appearance too, it has begun…

A little tawny mining bee stopped by while I happened to be watching a ladybird. Making the most out of the tiny gooseberry blossom.

Saw a large bumblebee sitting in the grass, enought time for a quick pic, then it was over to the rosemary for a snack.

Another year of bees, which only seem to have just got started this year. But this last week has seen some activity at the hotel, and the geraniums are providing some brightness and pollen for them. No Calendula so far yet this year, the slugs keep getting all the new seedling popping up!
But there’s been a few so far in the last few weeks… (and previous years)
