Bees and Wasps at RSPB Sandy

Yesterday started pleasantly cool for our macrophoto outing to RSPB Sandy but, by lunchtime, the clouds began to break and lots of insects especially Bee and Wasp species  became active including Green-eyed Flower Bees on the Lavendar, a Sharp-tailed Wasp and a Cercaria Wasp that catches and transports various varieties of Weevils to it nest burrows in the sand and an iridescent green and red  Cuckoo Wasp waiting to lay eggs in one of the  wasp nests.

I have identified the ones I photographed as far as possible in final image.
