Sightings

Today while walking down the railway line i was pleasantly surprised. The reserve is looking good, well apart from the fly tipping which has taken place in the carpark.
Blossom is showing, the cowslips are shining and the wildlife is coming to life.






here i think is a miner bee.... if iam wrong please do let me know. There has been a few of these hoovering around. quite funny looking things when you really look at them with there long pointy noses.
Well finally spring is here, keep your eye out for what you may see when you are down there.

    Beautiful pics - but in the last pic the creature is in fact a bee-mimic, for protection . It is a sort of hover fly, called Bombilious Major. They seem to be most noticeable in the spring for some reason .
