After the excitement of the ducklings' first swim, a nap on the lawn in the sun is important for them and their mum.

Social distancing provides ample time for longingly flicking through old photos.
Today I unearthed these snaps of a VERY friendly Brown Hare that visited the garden daily during my time in Scotland. Lovely! 😀 #NaturalHealthService #nature

Morning stroll in the local park provided my first Speckled Wood of the year + a new species for me in Chocolate Mining Bee.
4 bumblebee species on the wing, Tawny Mining Bees everywhere and heaps of blooming Honesty.
Also a singing Blackcap, at last! #NaturalHealthService 😊

A lovely Green Shieldbug in the garden today.
Much the more photogenic than the Orange-tip that dropped in briefly before beating a hasty retreat. #wildlife #naturalhealthservice

Just seen this pair of fresh Holly Blues (Celastrina argiolus) in the back garden this morning, during a brief burst of sunshine. I've been waiting patiently for days for my first sighting, then two turn up together!

How about some orchids to brighten up your day? Not a rare species but Ophrys ferrum-equinum, or Horseshoe orchid, is definitely a beautiful one.
These were all taken in Greece on our spring botanical trips.

Very mammal-y few days, #Gower. #Fox snoozing in the sun in the field opposite, a #Vole (probably bank)peering at me from its hole in the garden & exuberant hunting by several common #Pipistrelles in the evening. Sorry no pix #naturalhealthservice @Mammal_Society @PTES @SEWBReC
