    Andrena (subgenus Micrandrena) sp. Mini-mining bee
    One of our smallest species of bee. Bees in the subgenus Micrandrena are very difficult to identify in the field. The flower is the common Daisy, so you can see how tiny it is!

    It was on the side of an embankment if that helps. Dry grassy area.

    Spotted this guy today.. hadn't seen a thrush with those white feathers/tips before. They were only on one side.

    That's a song thrush for me and not a mistle thrush. It has a buffer colour to the breast which a mistle thrush would not have.
