Sunshine and wind!

 Hello Woofers!

It's Daisy here again.

After yesterday’s snowy weather it is good to get the bit of sunshine we got today.

Our early morning walk was promising a sunny day 'cos looking at the Two Trees there was no sign of a cloud anywhere!

Well, OK, just a little bit over the Isle of Sheppey but over us, not a cloud to be seen!

We saw a couple of woofers but being a Saturday, everyone was late in getting up!

It was better at lunchtime and when we got to the car park Old Two Legs decided that I didn't need my Flying Jacket and were it not for the wind it would have been a very pleasant day!

Just look at that sky!


I decided to go along the middle path 'cos there were a couple of woofers on the sea wall. Of course, they recognised OTL, rand up to him and got their tails tickled as a recognised reward!


Once they had gone, I was down on the beach, digging holes and then rolling in a sniffy bit of sea weed!

The sniffier the better!

After that we were over the hill and into the meadow where the Slippy Cows were.

OTL calls them Cow Slips but I know better!

Now, being Spring is now well under way, the wild life is coming out and here is the first Bee we have seen this year, excluding the one Bumble Bee we saw a couple of weeks ago!

OTL is not sure but he thinks this is a female Hairy-footed flower bee!

He can't be 100% sure but the description and information he got from his Bee Book points to a Hairy-footed.

Mind you, a bit later on we will get the Hairy-arsed bee!

Tomorrow, we expect it to get warmer and with a bit of luck as the week progresses it will be all sunshine and flowers!

OTL reckons that with the emergence of the bugs he should be fitting his Macro Lens (105mm)!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy.
