Our April Meet on Sunday 23rd was accompanied by the drumming of a Great Spotted Woodpecker, a large variety of singing birds, both residents such as robins, blackbirds and song thrushes and recent migrant warblers such as chiffchaffs - and the buzzing of bees….
Bees were hard at work gathering pollen and nectar - this is a Honeybee Apis mellifera feeding
on Crab Apple blossom
Wild flowers are allowed to grow under the trees to attract as many
pollinators to the area as possible even before the blossom
is out so that they move onto the blossom as soon as it appears.
