Have Camera Will Travel

Leaf cutter

Today we noticed a lot of the leaves on our rose bushes had chunks out of them, we spotted the culprit a leaf cutter bee (The female bee uses her jaws to cut a section of leaf from the foliage of plants, in gardens often roses, and then flies back to the nest site with the piece of leaf slung between her legs. In some cases many leaves on a plant can have sections taken out of them, however, this does not usually affect the health of the plant.)I followed her back to a hole in a railway sleeper and she went in, intrigued I  got my stool and camera and sat and waited for her to come back, set the camera to take multiple shots and this was the best one.
