    Earlier today saw another female stag beetle and just rescued this male from the chicken run-it was not happy at all !!

     A Leaf Cutter Bee has been busy in my greenhouse again this year - there is a hole in the wood that supports the electrics and I have watched the Bee lug a piece of Genii Fuchsia leaf as big as itself into the hole image I managed to take a not very good photo of the Bee and what is left of my Fuchsia image
