A Sedge Warbler in the reeds at my local patch. Interesting repertoire this little bird, a bit like a ZX Spectrum meets a fax machine mash up

Another beautiful Parasitoid Wasp from my Falkirk garden. Tetraschininae a subfamily of the chalcid wasp family Eulophidae. I have seen a few before in the flowers but never this close up. #wasplove

A very Wasp looking Bee from my back garden. A solitary Nomad Bee that is a cuckoo and lays its eggs in the brood cells of Mining Bees. Because why not?

There is plenty of tiny Wasp activity in the garden, not many are willing to stop for an identification. This Parasitoid briefly stopped, suspect a Platygastroidea.
