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!

Sometimes you just want a peaceful wash, but someone comes along to interrupt you!

What do you do when it's a bit damp to watch insects on #diggeralley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social ??
Go and watch a Bittern of course!

Pretty little fly found in our wildflower meadow - I think she's a Lesser Golden Knapweed Fly - Chaetorellia jaceae

Anyone any idea whose burrow this might be? It's in the sand of #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social but surrounded by bits of what look like dead vegetation - I certainly have no idea!

Look who's showed up along #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social - the Beewolves are back! Digger Wasp season is upon us - perfect timing for #InsectWeek 😃

Common Gulls are not actually that common and to have one nesting and producing a chick is lovely to see - until the Hare photobombed the film 😀

Please don't buy these helium balloons for your child's 5th birthday. When they're inevitably let go they end up on coastal nature reserves where they litter the landscape! 😡

Wesmael's Digger Wasp (Crossocerus wesmaeli) along RSPB Minsmere's Digger Alley. Often one of the early species we see, but easily overlooked as she's so tiny!
