Originally it was Deans fault

Since the last post, I spent a lot of time on nights initially. With my only time looking at wildlife, a few hours each afternoon.
Why Dean. His Tree Bumble Bee post intrigued me, so I spent my spare time, in the garden, looking at and taking pictures of bees.
When i came off nights, I had to catch up on chores around the house in my spare time. I have also built a Well (ornamental) in the garden.

I have tried posting in between this and the last post. I would write my text, up load pictures and the entire post would fail. This had me completely baffled. There is nothing wrong with the computer.

(Moths everywhere, every morning. I moved this one off the road.)
It turned out it was my fault. I was uploading, far to big a picture. After playing around with my camera, one day.

The bee pic is from the garden in august. But the rest of the pictures are from one of the greek isles. This time Corfu. The south of the island, where the wildlife just wanders across your path.

The number of butterflies were especially notable. But the star of the holiday, was a drop by visitor. Which cause alarm for a young semi-clad lady as a nutter, with a camera charged towards her.Screaming don't move, or something similar.

Nice to be back.

So it`s my fault is it, Steve ?

The moth looks like a Convolvulus Hawkmoth.

"nice to be back". Nice to have you back. Thought you`d do a runner.

Dean has also had me looking for Tree Bumblebees!
