    It's January - a bit cold - but the light is good... how come no pics?

    One from this morning.... Dodder walk

    (anyway the good news is that any photo I upload to Flickr with the word ‘tit’ in it gets three times as many hits as those without that word.
    No idea why:P

    I think we might have met - Were you there around 10.30/11.00?

    Nice job getting the Fieldfare! Not often a Fieldfare is more elusive than a Waxwing! :D

    @ Bernard0368, love that flight shot!

    Thanks, I thought I had enough of waxwings when I went for the Fieldfare!

    I realise now that we did meet. I was there 11-12. Were you the one who was there with Andrew? I will introduce myself next time 😀

    I'm feeling quite hurt! I feel like I wasn't invited to the party! :)
    Brilliant shots of the Waxwings by the way.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see several Honey bees (Apis mellifera) foraging on a Viburnum bush which is in full bloom in my garden at the moment. They were quite small, so I reckon they're female workers.

    Not really. Honey bees will be active on mild days.
