Generally dull, grey and overcast with intermittent Yet agaain very warm for the time of year. weak, hazy sun.

A couple of weeks ago, I entered this picture into the Warehouse Express #wexmondays competition on Twitter (@WexTweets) - and what do you know? I only went and won it!

 

I won a voucher for £10 for their printing services and I put the money towards a canvas print, which I now have hanging on my wall above my stairs!

 

Thanks to everyone at Warehouse Express for voting for me! :)

Yet another wet,wet,wet week!!!

A Ruby-tailed wasp on a daisy type flower just outside the Alpine House at RHS Wisley. Not possible to take to full species level but identified as a male Hedychrum sp., possibly Hedychrum nobile.

I've only seen one ruby-tailed wasp before and this is the first time I've managed to get a photo. This individual was very compliant staying absolutely still for some time.

#WexMondays entry for January 11

Honeysuckle in full bloom in the garden.

Long exposure of my small acer tree getting blown about in today's wind.

A baby garden spider hanging out in its web.

It wasn't until I looked at the photo that I realised why the Mother of Pearl (Pleuroptya ruralis) moth was so still. Misumena vatia don't seem to care about the size of their prey.

WexMondays entry for 25/7/2016

Another group of whooper swans, flying overhead at the Ouse Washes.

Another shot of the female Common Blue damselfly spotted in the garden on #30DaysWild day 10.

Dull, cloudy and raining, didn't stay out long.

One of a pair of flying shots of a Eupeodes luniger (famale) hoverfly. The best two flying shots I've managed to date.

 

WexMondays entry

A change of identity thanks to Malcolm Smart who informed me that it is "... a female Eutolmus rufibarbis !!!!!!. The ovipositor is laterally compressed and a completely different shape from Machimus (similar to Dysmachus but that has long hairs on the mesonotum extending all the way to the front). Machimus atricapillus has orange stripes on its Femora - this one has them all black. It is a fairly scarce species that has a distribution limited to the southern heaths and Suffolk (the Brecks)."

Also known as Golden-tabbed robberfly.

 

WexMondays entry for 4th July 2016

A very pollen covered red-tailed bumblebee worker on a tansy flower in the garden.

A cuckoo bumblebee on an echinops flower. I think this is bombus vestalis, the Southern cuckoo bumblebee.

Looking like some creature with tentacles, this is part of a dried allium seed-head

A shot from my garden, I quite liked the bokeh with the sun shining through the wet shrubbery from behind

Very pleased to get this photo shortlisted in Wex Photography's WexMondays competition, especially given the quality of photos submitted.
