Until tomorrow
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 🍼 .

#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
