Buddleia

It almost feels autumnal today with rolling mists.  The bees are moving from the rather soggy Lavender to the Buddleia which is just opening.  This is either a White-tailed or a Buff-tailed Bumblebee.

The pheasant in the extra is also soggy and moulting his fine feathers.  It's difficult to believe that he was such a fine specimen only 2 months ago.
