Bee Heaven. This wild honeysuckle has been literally hummimg with various bees collecting pollen and nectar over the last few days. Bumble and honey bees mainly visiting in the day time and some moths at night. This native variety is very heavily scented, especially towards dusk.

I wish that I had had a macro kit with me instead of the point and shoot - these shield bugs are fascinating. This one flew into the car as we were sat eating ice-creams ... moved onto some bushes nearby. When I get hold of a suitable mini-beast guide I'll have a go at an id.

This thistle is approaching five feet in height - I'll try and id it properly soon........ it is very attractive to bees, butterflies etc so I'll need to visit in the evening.
