"It's Starling pool party time!"..poor Sparrow doesn't give up but gets squished in an attempt to bathe! #birds #nature #wildlfe #garden #gardening

A simple gardening tray filled with water ( cleaned out every day).. provides some drinks and a little bathing area when needed especially in our hot and dry North Yorkshire Summer #birds #wildlife #gardens #gardening #nature

Busy bee dipping deeply into prickly Teasel heads. Amazing to see how they do it! When I touch Tesaels I scream "ouch.errr" #bees #insects #teasel #wildflowers #countryside #nature

Just practicing in the 'shallow end' before taking a 'dip' in the deeper water! #sparrow #nature #ukbird #garden #gardens #wildlife

I'm guessing this is a hovver fly or more likely a "hoover fly"...well, saves me doing it! #insect #fly #nature #wildlife

Too busy to video for long! #bee #wildlife #nature #gardening #wildflowers #wildflower #clover
