Bumble Bee

A wander down to the duckponds to see how everyone was doing.
Mr and Mrs Swan are still terrorising the five ducklings, whilst still looking after their three cygnets who are growing rapidly.
The five ducklings are gaining their adult plumage and I don't think it will be much longer before they are flying.
There is also two new ducklings on the pond, mum is a only a young duck (this is probably her first brood) and doing her best to keep her babies safe from the seagulls, grabbing one by its wing when it tried to attack them.
I spotted this bee collecting pollen as I was leaving the ponds and decided to make this my blip/
