Yesterday I took a truck out @rspbminsmere.bsky.social to make sure the tracks we use for the Red Deer Rut Safaris that start this weekend were all OK. Of course, I took the camera along as well - good job too!

Blowing in the wind, this tiny insect, on a tiny flower is not very obvious for an ID! It's a wasp of some sort I'm sure, possible Ichneumon, anyone get any closer to some sort of species? #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social

One of the various flies we collectively call Burrow Watchers - here camped outside a Pantaloon burrow along #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social Not our regular Miltogramma, but definitely a bit of a spiky lady!

Ammophila Sandwasps can march a long way to find their burrows. When you get down to their level you realise theirs is a world of awkward obstacles to be overcome

Maybe she's tossing the caber, maybe jousting with the lens. Maybe a new Jedi Warrior she is! All I know is that she's an amazingly strong Ammophila Sandwasp along #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social 😀
