You might remember this little hole in a fence post at St Cyrus. A few weeks ago, I'd noticed a couple of male leafcutter bees on these posts, so on another visit I looked for nest holes in the posts, and was thrilled to find one occupied hole, but was then surprised to see that it was occupied not by a bee, but by a digger wasp (`Flick' back about 10 images in my stream). Since then, when I've been at St Cyrus, I've keenly looked in on the digger wasp as I passed; it was there every day I checked. Yesterday, after a break of about 6 days, I think, I was back and checked the post to find not the digger wasp but a cute bee in the same hole! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, so this is a quick snap on my phone.
I'm curious about what's gone on here; could they both be using the same hole?; did the wasp move out naturally, and then the bee moved in?; did the bee evict the wasp?; is one a parasite?; are they both nesting?; was one or both using it as shelter?
I'm also not sure what type of bee this is. The leafcutters I saw (a few photos in my recent uploads) have now been kindly IDd by the expert Steven Falk, as one of the rarer leafcutters, the black-headed leafcutter bee (Megachile circumcincta). This could be a female (according to his book, they usually nest in sandy ground, but have also been reported to nest in wood), but that's a wild guess.
So much to learn :D
Not being seen was the plan, but I see you! Young Whitetail fawn hiding in the deep grass.
Thanks so very much for your visits and comments/faves!

Looking through the Sumac bushes to see a semi- secluded beach. Taken while walking in the Humber Bay Shores Park West yesterday.
"Sumacs are flowering woody trees and shrubs belonging to the genus Rhus and cashew family Anacardiaceae"
This is the same little spotless lady bug, this time peeking out at me. I didn't think I had any other usable shots of her, but by golly, you CAN see a little face! I'm so glad bug season is here!
American White Pelican taken in Port Aransas, Texas, at the Turnbull Bird Center. Love how his eyes is peeking through his feathers.
My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!

Today was our regular market morning for our fruit and vegetables.
A cold blast of weather came up from southern Australia last night, resulting in cyclonic winds and very cold temperatures.
The same applies for tomorrow ( Sunday ) with 7C overnight, which is about as cold as it gets where I live in the middle of winter.
There's a lovely gentleman who we always buy our avocados from, who bears a striking resemblance to Steve McQueen, and his
daughter has been helping him serve at his stall for a few months now.
She is such a sweetie, and serves people and figures out the change. I am not sure how old she is but I would guess about 5yo, maybe less. Can you count at the age, not sure.
Well this morning the cold blast was too much for her and she dived into this cover and all I could see was her eyes and curly blonde locks.
I hope you all have a great ( and WARM ) weekend.

Early morning start 2-45am from North Nottinghamshire for a steady drive out to Buxton, then onto the A54 till I found the parking space that was but a short walk away from this little hut, taken just a few minutes prior to the sun sticking it's head up above the nearby fells.
