And on the ninth day...

A Sparrowhawk with prey scattered the local feral doves over the pond. The only other thing of interest was a Wool Carder bee on Snapdragons (below), unexpected here and first for the year in the garden on along with a male Leafcutter (also below), Buff/White-tailed and a Lasioglossum. A very tailless juvenile Blackbird (probably from the nest two doors away) was flushed out from behind the Peony pot before struggling on to the fence. Hopefully it'll gain some 'street smarts' soon!
