To Bee or not to Bee

Tree Bumble Bees are absolutely everywhere in Monty right now, with about 20 on brambles along the station approach this morning. They certainly seem to be outnumbering Buff-tails.

There were more Tree Bumble Bees at Fairlawn Road together with 3 or 4 Early Bumble Bees, a couple of Honey Bees, an Eristalis pertinax hoverfly, a Dark Bush Cricket or two, a Nettle Tap Moth (took a great photo of it and accidentally deleted it!), a Harlequin Ladybird and a Helophilus hoverfly. An attractive Sawfly looks being Arge cyanocrocea.

Not much at the station apart from a Starling and a Marmalade Hoverfly.
