Lovely photos [emoji177]

White flower = wood anemone (there were lots in Wales)
Yellow flower = Lesser Celandine (they’re everywhere!)
Bird = European Robin :)

Let’s not forget Ms Bumblebee. Is this like the one Mrs Bluet-it kicked out? :)
Thank you particularly for the bird’s name. I had no idea but thought you’d know. It looked pretty. :)

We are safely home, unpacked and the washing machine is on already!

After 6 weeks Mrs Bluet-it still isn’t satisfied with her nest and is still bringing in fluff and shaping the nest cup. Surely she has to be satisfied soon!

The amount of work these little birds put into their nest is just amazing. EVERY.SINGLE.BIT of straw and fluff etc was brought in by them!
Makes us humans look like slackers!!! :):<3:

Robins traditionally appear on British Christmas cards. Their red breasts are supposed to be the from blood of Christ.

They're very cute looking, but very territorial and will fight each other physically to the death if necessary! They're also unusual because both male and female (which look identical) will sing to mark territory.

The bu!blebee isa White tailed bee - not last week's interloper ... That had a brown back and black tail and I have yet to odentify it. We have the white tailed bees in our garden too :)

She's already a good Mommy. Making sure it is all 100% correct for her babies. And welcome home.

Whahaha. I think we are wimps. The eagle has its nest in snow if we had to live in the snow we would freeze.
