The cold weather seems to have made the bank voles in the garden much bolder than usual. When I go down to the paddock to give the goat her feed mix I usually watch her for a while - and the robin that swoops down to snatch her grain. Recently, I've noticed several bank voles popping out from the undergrowth, probably to grab some grain too. I've started to leave them some seeds and fruit in places where I plan to try to photograph them.
I attempted to get some photos of them today...

Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing
2 Setaceous Hebrew Character
2 Light Brown Apple Moth
Plus two new garden records:

A brimstone butterfly spent some time today fluttering around the garden. I spent some time pursuing it with my camera... futilely! 
A Bombus terrestris queen and quite a few honey bees visited the crocuses - and I managed to photograph these

The warmer weather over the weekend brought out a few insects in the garden - including a Peacock butterfly, several honey bees, more than a dozen 7-spot ladybirds, an ant damsel bug and a shield bug (Troilus luridus).
