The bees are back! 🐝 . This little solitary bee was enjoying the amazing spring sunshine we have had in Sussex this week 😎 . It's getting to be insect macro time, especially with all the time in the garden to come over the next few weeks (at least). Looking forward to meeting some new insects this year! 🦗 . . . #macro #macrophotography #gardensafari #sussexwildlife #insectsofinstagram #insect_macro #instanature #beesofinstagram #bees

The first cowslips of the year appearing in the South Downs 🐄 . Rather than being a trip hazard, these primroses are so named because their leaves look like a cow's lips (apparently) 💋 . Hence where its relative the oxlip gets its name 🐂 . . . #cowslip #primroses #spring #springflowers #southdownsway #southdowns #sussexwildlife #wildflowers

Spring is firing itself up out there 🌄 . Weeping willows have a beautiful glow about them when they are coming into leaf. . I for one will be spending as much time in green and open spaces when I can in the months ahead. Do not underestimate the good it does to us all. . . . #spring #signsofspring #weepingwillow #willow #sussex #treesofinstagram

This yew tree is 1200 years old! Check out its CV: . Brexit ⏳ Second World War ✔️ First World War ✔️ Napoleonic Wars ✔️ English Civil War ✔️ The Plague ✔️ The Norman Conquest ✔️ A sapling during Viking invasions of Britain 🍼 . Trees have all the answers. . . . #ancienttrees #southdownsnationalpark #southdowns #treesofinstagram #trees #farmlife

#Amphibigram 🐸 . They're back! Today I heard the familiar croak of frogs. They were massing in the flooded grasslands along the River Rother in West Sussex. . There were a lot more last year and the warmer weather seemed to bring out their chorus 🎶 . It's so good to see them and to know that spring is really close now. At least the rain is good for someone! 🌦️ . . . #signsofspring #frogs #frogsofinstagram #amphibians #amphibiansofinstagram #amphibigram #southdownsnationalpark #sussexwildlife

A 1000-year-old oak holding up the whole universe 🌌 . I am an unreliable astro photographer. I forgot the plate for my tripod and so had to lie on the wet ground with the camera. This is also my smallest camera so hope to go back before spring with something more capable. . Lying on the ground meant when the shutter was closed I could lie back and see the universe for myself. It was absolutely astounding. . This was taken at about 19:30 when the cloud had moved away. Apparently that's the Orion nebula doing its thing towards the top of the pic. . . . #astrophotography #astronomy #olympusomdem10 #olympusphotography #southdownsnationalpark #SussexWeald #nightphotography #nightsky #darkskypark #darkskies
