Volucella Bombylans...

...or Bumblebee Hoverfly!

I don't think I have seen one of these before.  Aonghus had his nose stuck in the daffodil pot and he was following it around.  At first I thought it was a Tree Bumblebee as I saw the red and chased Aonghus off for fear of being stung but then I noticed it looked more like a hoverfly - so had to Google!

Geriatric Boy is definitely much better again today.  He is getting slower all the time but at least he was more enthusiastic about his walk this morning and we are just about to go for the evening walk.

Other than that nothing more to report!
