And of course a bee on a flower.. possibly a buff-tailed bumblebee? But very difficult to ID for certain. It's cheekily feeding from the edge of the flower rather than trying to get inside it, which means it's not actually doing the pollination that it should be - the flower is getting cheated of nectar!

Ivy bees were only identified as a species in 1993, and first seen in the UK just 25 years ago in 2001!. Today they were fairly easy for me to find locally, once I'd worked out that not all bees on ivy were ivy bees!

OK, yet another bee-on-flower.. but I'm quite pleased with the 70-300IS + 500D combo. Although it's harder to use, when it works it gives that bit more zoom, and more detail.
This one is a carder bee of some sort - probably a common carder bee but there are others round here which are similar.
