As they pollinate my grapes, my favorite little animal has to be the variety of bumble bees. Some nest under my garden shed which is OK with me.

Try to load a video, please. If you can, then explain how it works.

I got a Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro Lens today I set it up on my Olympus OMD EM1 ii with my STF-8 and tested it on some springtails on my bin and water butt but also on some vegetation but those were one handed.

Here are some shots

A few weeks back I made some nest boxes, primarily for the tits we get in the garden. I used the plans from the RSPB's website, and made them up out of some lengths of leftover gravel board (150mm wide, 19mm thick). I placed them in some suitable locations around the garden, and the warm weather last weekend seems to have prompted some interest: [this one is nearest the house]

All three of the tit-sized boxes seem to have new tenants, but so far the larger woodpecker box has only attracted some Greater Spotted woodpeckers for drumming practice. We will keep an eye on it....
