These are stunning birds ..
The wheatear is a small mainly ground-dwelling bird. It hops or runs on the ground. It is blue-grey above with black wings and white below with an orange flush to the breast. It has a black cheek. In flight it shows a white rump and a black 'T' shape on its tail. It is a summer visitor and passage migrant. Birds breed mainly in western and northern Britain and western Ireland, although smaller numbers do breed in southern and eastern England. It winters in central Africa.
In the breeding season, best looked for on upland suitable habitat in northern and western Britain. May be seen on passage at coastal migration watchpoints and inland.

Since a pair of Robins chose to build a nest and rear their young in our garden shed at end of April (right among bottles of Antifreeze and Polyfilla !) its been a privilege to be able to watch their progress through incubation, hatching , endless feeding and NOW - finally the day of hatching.

One poor chick that didn't make it, must of got pushed out of the nest and landed on our garden table.
the grasshopper warbler springwatch webcam inspired me to draw this! watching the webcam, it was such a picture-perfect scene, I couldn't help myself!
thank you to springwatch for putting forth the effort to keep the webcams up ! I learn a lot from them and they are fun to watch.
A Queen Bumble Bee has made her nest under a pile of wood in our garden. Rather than tunnel slightly deeper into the soil to get under the wood, the bees have chewed part of the wood itself.
Talk about making an easy job harder!!
#WildAndFree, and making you go WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
