I found this honey bee in a waterlogged plant pot today. It was soaked so I moved it into the sun to dry off. It eventually flew off, but stayed still long enough for me to get a few shots. Anyone know what that is on it's back? Babies? They have legs....

This might not be very exciting to a lot of folks however... We've lived here for nearly 20 years & have often heard the Tawnys but have never seen them, even when I'm peering up in the trees in the woods, nothing.
Over the past fortnight two youngsters have been calling, so I had a wander (in the dark I might add) and narrowed it down to which probable trees. Then another wander just at dusk, when I saw the glint of eyes and got Twitted at by Mum or Dad.
After work tonight I checked both trees, one is so twisty & gnarly I couldn't see, however Squeaky #1 was calling last night from there. This tree is more 'open' and Squeaky #2 was dozing quite happily in the early evening sunshine. .
There is a very silly grin at finally meeting this rather secretive but very beautiful Owl!

First sighting 2017!
Series of two from last night's Springwatch. I nearly fell off the sofa last night when this clip came on. I thought, I recognise those cliffs! Springwatch had said they may use some of my videos but did not tell me what, where or when, it could have been on Facebook, YouTube or the programme. Only the opening sequence of the cliffs is mine (Splash Point at Seaford).
