As soon as the sun appears, more and more insects start populating the garden / Zo gauw de zon verschijnt beginnen meer en meer insekten de tuin te bevolken
Not a great capture, its not very sharp but ive posted it because i would like an ID on it if anyone can help
The evening was chilly, and the bee was barely moving, so the only problem was keeping the camera still and not bumping into the flowers. That proved to be quite difficult, though. Taken by Edgar.

This could be the last time I see the pipistrelles befor hibernation, so thought I would share something extra special!
Finally the shot I have been dreaming of. The pipisrelle raises it's tail membrane to catch an insect and passes it into it's mouth, it will then either eat it then or go onto a tree and eat it. It happens really quickly, I didn't even see it happen with my own eyes, but was over the moon when I got this shot. They are such amazing and fascinating animals!
