Tuesdays Photography

This weeks photography post is going to mainly focus on some spring wildlife photos I have taken in the country side in the past few weeks.

Here is a Red Winged Blackbird nest that I have been checking on weekly
for the past month. It went from four eggs to three babies and then to two
babies. On my last visit last weekend they had left the nest and there was
one dead one in the nest. I hope at least one of them made it.

Now to rap things up I will end with some photos of the broad beans in the garden. Both photos of the flowers and of pollinators in the plants. I sure hope these pollinators get working because I have yet to find one bean. I am guessing it must be because of the cold temperatures we have had the past few weeks which would have slowed down the pollinators. The seed for the broad beans below was graciously shared by Down on the Allotment.

on what kind of bee this is???
