| Skipper |
These photos were taken on the 9th June on a very lovely day, the sun was shining and I got to see my first Skipper of the year (not seen one since)
I just wandered round the park and took photos of flowers , insects and birds as I came across them.

Not sure what Bumblebee this was very large and a stripy bottom, could be a
common carder bumblebee .
It's wings seem very small for such a big Bee.

| Buttercups |
There was some Mallard ducklings out having a preen in the sunshine.
You might remember we lost the male Swan last month, mum managed to raise two lovely signets .

| Bramble flower , Blackberry |
On Kirk Lane Park next to Nunroyd the rose bed is at it's best, and the roses smelled lovely.
On the way out of the park there is a electric box! plot of land .
The fox and cubs wildflower (Pilosella aurantiaca) thrives on the gravel. Sadly they oven cut them down, but they manage to grow back every year.
Beautiful photos of the flowers and insects :) I think the furry gingery bee is Common Carder - they are the most numerous bee in our garden and really rather cuddly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous display of fox and cubs and so sad that they cut them down :(
The cygnets are rather cute :)
Thanks for th I'd on the Bee, hard to get a good photo as they move about so fast on the flowers.
DeleteLovely photos, I especially love the damselfly on the feather!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam for leaving a comment, hope to photograph some more dragonflies.
