Our first Hairy-Footed Flower-Bees of the year

A lot later than last year: we submitted a record to iRecord for 17 February 2022.

Today, we saw four Bees (all males) busying themselves on and around the Red Dead-Nettle flowering in the Grounds of St John the Baptist, Erith viz.




The sightings have been submitted to iRecord.

Additionally, we saw our first flowering Early Dog-Violets of the year: also in the Church' Grounds viz.


On the nearby Thames' Foreshore, an English Scurvygrass was attempting to flower but it will surely be a few weeks yet before a white carpet of flowers appears.
