Talking about You Tube...and I know this is off topic....but if you don't all appreciate young kids and how they spend their time these days....just watch this.

Holy moly! Don't know if I should let Ian watch this... he may get too depressed at such a display of talent and smash a banjo  :-X   Clever kids and great tune. Flatt and Scruggs have two devotees in this house, anyway.
Oh crikey... there's video of them doing Foggy Mountain Breakdown too... will Ian cope with this?

Looks like a leaf cutter Davey. Possibly Megachile centruncularis?

another day and another swift in box 2 and one in box 4. The bird in box 4 to screaming at the bird in box 2 and the screaming birds outside. Both birds are a bit nervous especially the one in box 4. This is probably the first time in 3 years that they have stopped flying. They are happy to enter a nest box but they dont know what is inside. It could be in use already

Yesterday Amy & I cycled a few miles alongside the Bure Valley railway.   Lineside flowers were nice but bettered by lineside butterflies.

Comma obligingly still long enough for me to get intimate! 

There are more pics but can only attach one at a time tonight (don't know why) so I'll save them for another time.
