Kestrels are basically the hover kings of the bird world! ๐๐๏ธ With nothing but their wings and wild skill, they can stay frozen mid-air like nature hit the pause button.

Hi, Andy, the first spider is Hasarius adansoni, Adanson's Jumping spider and a species that is very likely established in botanical gardens and hothouses in the UK. The second is Cyrba algerina, a species that specifically preys on web building spiders.

Convinced that this is a species of Bee Fly continually landing on a rocky path in Majorca. Had no idea about the variety of #BeeFlies so welcomed an opportunity to learn

Nature always astounds and loved finding these miniature tiny urn shaped pots neath stones along coastline at Cala Dโor, Majorca ๐ We presume these are constructed by potter wasp species and hoping that @StevenFalk1 can advise ๐

During the heat, we started to put out small bowls of rainwater for the birds. We didnโt expect this water source to be such an oasis for #Bees ๐ After a few early bees we now have regular guests who are not impressed when we clean the tray and add new water ๐๐
