As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! First time use of CL / TL 18mm combination yesterday when experimented with TL 18mm close focus. ISO 400 AF 1/8sec f9 handheld This Bumble Bee on Teasel image is an 'actual pixels' crop. Click on image to see the detail. I'm very pleased with the TL 18mm lens (27mm FF equivalent) and pleasantly surprised by its capabilities - especially for close focus. I had my doubts about the lens because of some users' negative comments / reviews / feedback — but am now convinced it's a decent optic and well worth buying — and compact too.

This section is home to a colony of solitary Ivy Mining Bees which will soon burrow their way out of their cliffs and ground brood cells where they've developed from ova into larvae and pupae over the last 11 months. The newly emerging bees will immediately feed on mainly ivy flowers and gather pollen and nectar for storage in this season's brood cells where ova will develop and feed. Each solitary female bee excavates its own brood cells within the colony. Ivy Mining Bees are a relatively new species to the UK and first migrated from S. Europe into SW England in the 1990s.

Swaddywell Nature Reserve managed by Langdyke Countryside Trust is a former Roman quarry which provided limestone for building Peterborough Cathedral. Swaddywell has a chequered history – one of England’s very first nature reserves in the early 20th Century it then became in turn a quarry, bomb dump, landfill tip and a VW race track. There is still a stone works adjacent to the reserve but most of the stone is quarried elsewhere. The track in the photo is part of the former VW race track John Clare – the Helpston-born poet – wrote about Swaddywell in the early 19th century, describing the changing landscape brought about by the enclosure of common land and the consequent destruction of many familiar landmarks.
