Chimney Meadow Nature Reserve

We live just down the road from the Chimney Meadow Nature Reserve, so to try out my new camera, we walked down to the hides there.
I did spot some Woodpeckers, (see Extra) and an Egret but it was on our way back that I spotted this beautiful bee. 

Thank you so very much for the very kind comments, hearts and stars for yesterday's Snowhill Blip. Really most appreciated :)
