One of two Humming-bird Hawk-moths in the North Pennines yesterday! 🦋

Both were nectaring on Melancholy Thistle along a road verge. Such amazing moths! 🥰

Hairy-footeds are back! 💛

One of a few males enjoying the Pulmonaria at Alnwick Garden today (in-between hailstone showers!) 🐝

Nothing quite beats the joy of seeing my first queen bumblebee of the year! 😭💛

A lovely queen Tree Bumblebee, soon followed by Early and Buff-tailed!

After what was such a tough year for bumbles, seeing the first queens out and about fills my heart with so much joy 💛
