As wildlife author and environmental educator I get to visit many habitats from coastline to countryside. However, our own gardens and surrounding urban habitats provide surprising opportunities for wildlife watching both large and small. You can also make small changes to your garden to attract even more wildlife. This weblog is a record of my observation which I hope you will enjoy and also encourage you to take a closer look at your own local patch, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
These are one of my favourite solitary bee visitors to my garden, hairy footed bees Anthophora plumipes. These are one of the first solitary bees to emerge and frequently visit our comfrey, rosemary and flowering current.
The males are a rusty brown colour and appear later.
