IN OUR GARDENS 2026

We usually get a few they are reluctant to fly. Not seen any this year. Not many insets at all. Saw a big wasp. Not many bees other than hover flies it is worrying, quite a few butterflies though.
 
If you want to see wasps, go to Coles Lane Sutton Coldfield, house before the gully to Ebrook Rd - there is a HUGE wasps next hanging out of the tree with about 3 gazillion wasps flying around it. Big enough for me and the dogs to cross to the other side of the road yesterday!

Lemonella that is strange. I was going to comment that it’s a bit early for butterflies…
I’ve just been sitting in a sunny spot in our garden pondering the mysteries of life haha
The next minute a butterfly landed on my shoulder. It must have been there for about 3 minutes…
