A male spider sits on a geranium leaf. Six eyes are visible in the photo as he looks out for lady spiders. Light brown hairs cover the body with a very distinct yellow stripe down the prosoma (cephalothorax).
Hello Ladies! I think that this is the male Nursery Web #Spider (Pisaura mirabilis). They are sitting on top or the hardy Geranium leaves in the sunshine.
Large pedipalps ready.

I think this is the Common Carder Bee (Bombus pascuorum) feeding on Dandelion on our lawn.
We have never ‘treated’ the lawn so it is a real mix of mosses and small plants with a good deal of moss!

Dinner at the Hedgehog Hotel got a bit rowdy.
One hog wanted supper. Another wanted drama.
Very British wildlife behaviour. 🦔

A small nomad bee with striking yellow stripes on a black abdomen. It has yellow spots at its wing bases and a pair of yellow spots at the bottom of its thorax. No black on the antennae so this one is a female.

What do you think?
Anyone else got one?
