As I was fixing my garden clock back in place after its Winter change of battery, de-cobwebbing and rest I spied a Bumble Bee in the planter just below:
It can't have woken for long as it looked clean and pristine while it warmed up in the Sunshine. Only 10C outside but felt pleasantly warm with no cold wind for once.
Good to see it. I thought the poor thing had mites up until 20s but it hasn't it is perfect.

DeleteLooks like it is revving its engine.
