Runaway winner this year has to be Wally the Walrus. He does it in style as well, bless him. Hope he gets safely back to his Northern home soon though, too many thoughtless fools getting far too close at times. He does bring a smile to the face though........unless you own a boat😂
For the last few days I have noticed dozens, if not hundreds, of what I think are wild bees (not bumble bees), flying over a patch of our garden.

I know that quiet a few regular CT members have an interest in these special animals. I've come across an organisation that might interest them, Hedgehog Street. Here is a link to their web site. https://www.hedgehogstreet.org
A real gem of a spot for a twicher, reported on the BBC news scientific pages https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56189600
