i like the bumble bee nester :happy2:
we used to have a bumble bee nest in our wall, our patio table was in the flight path and was hilarious to watch them come into land heavy, miss it and not seen them for a year or so.
Where did you find that nester mate? and how do you encourage bumble bees to nest? genuinely interested - would love to have some in our garden again

....My daughter bought it for me from somewhere on the internet.

Ideally they like an old mouse nest but cut straw etc will usually suffice. The nester comes with simple instructions. The stone outside the entrance to mine offers a landing pad.

great pictures :drinking:
the mayfly one would have to be my favourite.
But keep up the photography. You clearly have a knack for it.

Some more newt pics:
^ Palmate Newt male (more colourful).
The following two pics are of a male and female pair. The female may be preparing to lay an egg and the male ready to release sperm:
Photography in these conditions is largely a matter of luck. Newts are shy and more easily seen at night and tend to spot you first and then hide. My camera is also limited for such photography being a digital compact Fuji FinePix F200EXR. But I'm pleased with the best of my shots, not as sharp professional standard but for capturing the moment and atmosphere.
I have become a newt enthusiast! :grin:
This pic puts the wildlife pond (no fish) in context:

They are great pics for a compact. :happy2: and those Newts wont want to leave, it looks like a great place for them. :smiley:
