It was good to see
Hedge Woundwort in flower in the park this morning. Young
Blackbirds could be heard in the
Hawthorn hedge near the Old Vicarage and a
Wren sang. A
Tree Bumblebee visited the
Green Alkanet flowers - the bee looked very much like a Common Carder Bee at first with lots of pale hairs on the abdomen, but its white tail meant it had to be a Tree Bumblebee. I wonder if it was just an old and grizzled specimen? The wings showed definite signs of wear. There was also a
Marmalade Hoverfly and tantalising glimpses of a bee or wasp which didn't settle but looked very interesting.
