Bee-'Special Delivery'!!
Used in BBC Countryfile magazine March 2009, wow!!
This was shot as a Leaf-Cutter Bee delivered some bedding material to a hole in a brick wall. I didn't see them again, perhaps they moved out! Clearly the hole has been lined with leaves so it was a definite attempt to nest, we'll see.
I know this is a little grainy but I love it, it shows how hard they work to build a home. First they cut out the leaf portion, then roll it and carry it home!
Again the D300 and 105mm Micro Nikkor, a great combination from Nikon.
