    Swarm of honey bees settled in a quince tree. I walked past the hive just as they were swarming ... very noisy and I got bee poo on me

    One of the resident robins at the allotment has baggy pants.
    It appears to be doing all the normal robin duties such as taking food away to a nest.

    Couple more days and I'll strim down the primroses. Seems brutal but they come up stronger each year.

    I think this is an Alder Leaf Beetle. Fairly rare but slowly making a comeback.

    I think this may be a goldfinch. Mobile phone picture so quality not too good.

    The foxes that come in our garden have been pulling up my peas. Had to create a kind of barrier to dissuade them. They brought a random half chewed glove in the other night - can only assume they were playing with it. I do love them though so forgive them any minor damage and the fact that they poop on things like my sons’s footballs.

    If our disgraceful dogs are anything to go by, the fox will be eating the muck.

    Foxes eat mice,voles & pigeons tho theres probably a mouse nest somewhere,hopefully they’re there to rid the plots of pests & all your plants can grow peacefully

    Foxes are a problem on the allotments at the moment - climbing up onto poly tunnels, jumping on and trashing nets and cloches and digging up new plants. Snapped this one tearing holes in my neighbours tarpaulin that he'd used to cover his newly delivered horse manure.

    Am going to try and get a pic of the blue tits nesting in a box on the house. They are in and out all the time. Also saw a peacock butterfly in the front garden but didn’t move quick enough to get a photo.
