A 'bitty' day with a number of stops ...
 |
| Daisy Field. |
 |
| Yellow-flag Iris is just coming out - spot the 'Shetland Bumble Bee' (Bombus muscorum agricolae) - which is actaully a Carder Bee. |
 |
| The Shetland Bumble is an endemic species. |
 |
| Hoswick - notable for it's very good tea shop! |
 |
| In Hoswick a public path runs up the beck which hosts a strange mix of native and introduced species of plant, providing some shelter for birdlife. Good to hear a Quail in a nearby field. |
 |
| Hoverflies: the first a specialist Red Campion feeder and the second a Bumble Bee mimic. |
 |
| Nice light through the Bog Bean. |
