  1. The Jersey Tiger Moth used to be a real rarity, mostly confined to the Channel Islands and parts of Devon. Over the last 15–20 years it has spread rapidly across southern England, and sightings in Cambridgeshire (where I saw this one) are now increasingly normal in July–September.

  6. Apart from the bees & flies in the lavender, the garden was surprisingly quiet this evening, so I struggled to find subjects for my new camera.

    This very small ant obliged though – it's genus Temnothorax, likely T. affinis, the Baum-Schmalbrustameise in German.

    Not great shots, but I'm on a steep learning curve 😬✌️

  11. It's 21 July, the Eagle has landed, & I've taken my new camera for its first walk in the garden.

    The Nikon Z6 III is a fearsomely capable beast & I've barely started to set it up, but here are some first shots with the 24-200mm lens.

    A large carpenter bee (genus Xylocopa) & a goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia).

  16. Of course, as welcome as this afternoon's rain has been for the garden, the insects that were happily feeding from the lavender bush may not agree, at least not in the short-term.

    This bumblebee & several others out there have some drying out to do – luckily it's still relatively warm.

  21. The deed is done: I've ordered a new camera. Details & rationale below.

    But the productivity of my demised Nikon D7000 is not quite at an end – I have a few pictures yet to share.

    Including of this male common drone fly (Eristalis tenax). In German, it's the Mistbiene, which is not quite as charming as it might sound 💩

  31. I had a fascinating visitor today in my garden in the evening. She was laying eggs in the ground.

    I also made a video but I have to compress and cut it to be able to share it, so I will share it later.
