Peacock butterfly feeding on the nectar in a dandelion, holding its wings closed.

Early Wednesday morning, a bright red tulip with just a touch of frost on the petals.

Sparrow pair and a robin busy eating from the same fat ball feeder. The robins’ nest and sparrows’ nest are both in the next tree.

Coal tit, spying out whether things were safe while perched on a distant leylandii, then making a flying visit to grab a quick snack on fat balls.

Common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) – I think the first ones I have seen this spring, resting on a leaf to warm in the sun.

Cliff mining bee – thjs one had landed on the insde of a dirty window – it worked out how to return to the open air just after these pictures were taken.
