crown of thorns

this is one of the fairburn cows that roam, free and manage the land

 

they are stunning animals, and they often come up to the fences like this and stick their heads through to eat the bushes

 

also just wanted to share the below (if you follow me on twitter you may have seen this)

– some of you may remember the blue tits i photographed last year in my birdbox? – i had been wondering why they hadn’t come back this year – and then i found out why . . .

 

. . . iv got a colony of bees living in it! - and not just any bees!

 

i managed to get a fuzzy photo (through glass and a long way away) and tried to ID them but couldn’t – so i posted on twitter and got the answer there

 

they are ‘tree bees’ and they were only discovered in 2001!
