In the warm sunlight late this morning, the flowers of an angelica bush acted as a magnet attracting honey bees.
I’m not sure whether they were just focussed on their task or intoxicated by the nectar, but they didn’t seem to notice me as I got close enough for these macro shots.
A globe of flowers, attracting several bees, and another where the seeds seem to have already started to develop, from the magnificent angelica bush on Ruth’s allotment.
One of several entrances to a badger sett on a mound at the edge of the woods at Pendeford Mill. The entrance was half-hidden behind the roots of a sycamore tree, so it made me think it should rather have been the doorway for the home of a pixie, hobbit, or small bear, or the way into Alice’s Adventures Underground.
The jaunty pink of red campions, coming into flower as the bluebells started to fade.
Ramsoms (wild garlic) growing by the side of the Railway Walk, just as the flowers were about to open, before the plants developed their pungent aroma.
Greenfinch singing in elder bush in a hedge by a canal. The bird didn’t seem to mind that I was quite close, but it mostly kept its face in the shadow of higher branches.
