Last week saw some spring arrivals to the garden, and some preparations for those to come.
First off was a very aptly named Spring Usher, a new moth for the garden, and for me.

Next was a March Moth, right on cue.

And the crocuses provided a welcome source of nectar for a queen Buff-tailed Bumblebee.

A queen Common Wasp was out sunning herself, demonised by most, but a great garden pest controller for those who understand these valuable, voracious predators.

In preparation for the Swallows arriving back in April, I've completed building a log store for them to nest in. Hope they appreciated it!
