I saw a butterfly today for the first time in ages - a meadow Brown flitting around the brambles at the edge of the path.
I am assuming this is a Buff-Tailed Bumble Bee until I learn otherwise....
Update:OK now I've learnt otherwise...don't know what it is yet, though....
....and I was intrigued by this dear little (or rather disgusting depending on your point of view) black fly. I wonder if I will ever be able to identify it.
