Toft Insects April 7th

 I am a bit behind with sorting and IDing my photographs of fauna in Toft. These were taken on the 7th April in the garden. I was experimenting with shutterspeeds for flying Hoverflies and found it needs 1/8000th to record at least a blurred wing in the capture. Always rewarding when the camera shows something I didn't notice at the time - eg the ants foraging where the Carder bees were feeding on nectar.  This little bee, a Brassy Lasioglossum, is tiny as can be judged by the hairs on the leaf
