One of two cubs at the sett tonight. Very cute and a little bit sleepy... But soon woke up when he spotted his sibling had found the macadamia nuts and sultanas I'd put down. Mum was charging around changing the beds and at one point ran into my tripod, she gave me a filthy look... and the youngsters were playing so close to me that most of the time I couldn't focus. I might have to start using the macro lens.

As see on TV (BBC Springwatch UnSprung), and the BBC Springwatch Home page and iPlayer... and their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages... Which is nice :@)

for the last day of April. I spotted this piece of blossom from the window looking as though it had been pierced by a spear. The spear is the Iris just coming up un the pond beneath the Apple tree.Photo copyright Pat Adams

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....

There were pheasants everywhere yesterday,at the moment they are fairly tame as they are more interested in finding a mate.
