Helicopter

The catmint was a huge attraction as soon as the sun came out with bees flying in to make the most of it. Rather like an airport runway or helipad in this case!

Rather a nasty accident with the camera this afternoon. Kneeling down with the tripod about a foot from the floor I let go of it to turn round and stroke the dog. Not realising the weight was top heavy tipping slightly at the angle it was at, the whole thing toppled hitting the bricks the fall only broken slightly by a bit of catmint! Yikes. It was with trepidation that I checked it out!! There is a slight chip but only on the filter which was a bit of a relief - slight understatement there I feel!

Hope everyone is out enjoying the sun - it won't last so make the most of it!

ID'd by uniqueandlovely as a Hairy footed flower bee.
