This Red tailed Bumblebee is doing a good job pollinating the flowers.
Above - Our hedge. We planted this from odds and sods and its coming along well. It has held Barred Warbler in the past ( have I mentioned that before?)
Above - This is the far end of the hedge in the other shot. Just planted a year ago, the dog roses are flowering for the first time this summer.
Above - The hebe is covered in bumblers, including Early Bumblebee ( above), Tree Bumblebee, White and Buff tailed Bumblebees and Common Carder Bee.
But a real exciting bit happened as I was cutting the grass. This Sparrowhawk dived through my neighbours shrubs and emerged witha juvvy Starling to eat on the lawn!
I was out of its line of sight behind the sweet peas so I dashed inside, grabbed the camera and stalked carefully back to get some shots before it flew off, taking its meal with it. Lovely!

Thought for a minute that Sprawk had caught a Barred Warbler :-)
Top Gun!
Great stuff Stewart
Now that's my kind of garden, great for wildlife and great for not having to do much in, 'cept photograph the wildlife - looks great.
What a nice surprise, it's one of those moments do you stay and watch, or get the camera and risk it flying of! glad it stayed ,great shots..
