| What species? |
Today was my first time to see bees nesting in a tree; about
9 feet up an old ash in a crack (see YouTube below). This is the sort of no nonsense,
no hive, no honey sort of bee-keeping that appeals to me.
On my journey round a beautiful garden in north Wales the
birds were singing and the moths and butterflies flitting everywhere. That is
apart from one couple which were locked in a prolonged act of passion. I’ve
looked on the identification sites but still none the wiser. Can anyone help?
Ringlets! See the lovely ringlets on the underwing. Could be confused with a faded male Meadow Brown but not when you see the spots. Flies over grassland in July and early August.
