Lots of fascinating bits and pieces on Jeremys Blog

I hope you do. I shall be looking as well.

The Cuckoo Pint exposed. Jeremy Bartlett's Blog Post explains it all. www.jeremybartlett.co.uk/2018/03/16/c... @norfolknats.bsky.social

Excellent. Thanks James

Thanks James As the aphids appear do let me know.

Sweet Woodruff (Galium odoratum) & Mountain Witch-alder (Fothergilla major)

Forget me not.

Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) on Daphne cneorum. Cuckoo Pint rust (Puccinia sessilis), Dark Blood Bee (this sp unique in having a shining hypoegimeron area beneath the wing base - seen ) in and out of the Common Furrow Bee (Lasioglossum morio) nesting holes. @norfolknats.bsky.social

Orange-tailed Mining Bee (Andrena haemorrhoa) A very fresh female and male. Plus the female's attendant satellite fly Leucocophora Sp? A quite stunning Tawny Mining Bee (Andrena fulva) too. @norfolknats.bsky.social

My bees are fed but I can't resist just the one plant on a small rockery.

Blue Gentians, glorious white globes of Canadian Bloodroot but I suspect they both bow to the curlicues of Broom (Cytisus scoparius) and probably the explosion of filaments on the Goat Willow

I've not seen anything on the plant here in a Norfolk garden.

There's nothing quite like a Blue Gentiian except perhaps a Sanguinaria canadensis flore pleno. The prisitine white globes of the Canadian Bloodroot closely followed by their enveloping leaves.

Nothing quite like a Blue! Gentian!

The incredible life of the ‘bird man’ refugee who brought tweets, chirps and trills to British radio

Pete Hegseth’s holy war: the militant Christian theology animating the US attack on Iran

That would be very good. Look forward to it.

We looked as well, to no avail.

Thanks Jeremy

Chilly here too. Not a single insect. Hope you are well.

Pear Bossom & Flowering Currant (Ribes odoratum))

Early Mason Wasp (Ancistrocerus nigricornis) plays host to a Ruby-tailed Wasp Sp - Chyrsis terminata? There were four of these around the wasp this morning - perhaps? @norfolknats.bsky.social

One female Osmia cornuta at camera height at Ranworth Church yesterday, in the sunshine
