The One And Only

My daughter visited today, as she usually does on Wednesdays. We had so much to catch up on. We both fancied soup for lunch so I made leek and potato.

Yesterday was the first day of Solitary Bee Week. I couldn't find one to photograph. Better luck today, this rather worn individual, which I haven't identified, was enjoying the Spanish daisy blooms in company with velvet mites.

We made a quick visit to Fishers Green. I heard and saw the whitethroat but didn't manage a decent shot. It was lovely to hear the cuckoo.
