Nothing exotic on my plot but having an allotment has made me appreciate insects more and I've really enjoyed being able to watch them. I did a spider survey for HDRA last year so spent a lot of time watching them, amazing how many there are when you really look.
And there are different types of bees...didn't know that sadly. I love my carpet of limnanthes douglasii which attracts many beautiful hoverflies.
But nothing exciting on my plot, very few birds, no hedgehogs, not seen any snakes or voles, do get frogs and toads though, very cheered to find baby ones last summer. Saddest of all is that there are hardly any butterflies. I remember from childhood seeing buddlia covered in them, I've got one growing now so live in hopes.
