Long Tailed Tits.

Still in lockdown but I was lucky to find a pair of Long Tailed Tits nesting in a Gorse bush in the fields next to our house. I spent a lot of time just watching them come and go with beakfulls of insects and spiders to feed their hungry young. Thankfully the chicks fledged successfully.

Some lockdown Insects from the garden & field .

My daily walks around our garden and field is starting to produce lots of insect life now , with Butterflies on the wing and many Bees and other Insects visiting the flowers, and the odd Spider as well. Each day I find something new.
