Hi Placi, must say I had to look up Muscari as I have never heard of it. But I have heard of grape hyacinths. Never knew their relation to asparagus either, they look nothing like it. Once out in the countryside, stone walls are quite common. I do like them though, nice and natural.

Jacksparrow, I was following the robin along the hedge, hoping it would settle down a bit long enough to get a video. Did manage around five seconds of it. Wished it was more, but settle for what I can get.

'Twas just that muscari is quicker to type, Willpar :chuckle:

:clap: That is a real gem, Willpar !! The Grey Waggie was a real surprise, congratz on that sighting.
Winter aconites are among my fave spring flowers, and I haven't seen a bee yet.
Your daffodils are almost as advanced as mine is :rolleyes: :chuckle:

Wondered what they were placi those winter aconites. There are lots of them about on my travels. Was nice to see some insects on the flowers.

Great stuff Willpar :photo: :clap:
I think your Pied Wagtail was hoping for some food. The second flying insect looked very much like a Queen Wasp. :bee: :bee:

Hi Jacksparrow. Just wanted to show the pied wagtails were still about. But must be thinking now of the countryside, coming up to that point I would say. I thought the wasp was not an ordinary one when I looked at the video, as it looked larger.
