Wildlife of Barnsdale Gardens

A weekend 'en famille' saw me at the excellent gardens of the late, great Geoff Hamilton. He was a real pioneer of environmentally friendly gardening and this comes through in the abundance of insects and other wildlife we saw today. Here is a small selection I managed to snap.

Common Frog Rana temporaria


Comma Polygonia c-album


Red Admiral Vanessa atalanta


Green Shield Bug Palomena prasina


Stictopleurus abutilon



Bombus terrestris


Honey Bee Apis mellifera
